Leviticus 26:3-5
3 If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, 4 I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. 5 Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.

I have said this before and I will say it again. This blog is what is going on in my life and I am just bringing you along for the ride. If you relate or learn something all the better. However, at the end of the day, I am preaching to me!

Today is no different. I find myself at a fork in the road. I know which road to travel, but it is so hard to let go of the other path. I feel obligated to it. It has been a struggle. I knew the road was going to come to an end soon, I just didn’t realize how soon. I have questioned every step. I don’t want to make the wrong choice. Today it all came to a head. I made the choice and I know what I am suppose to do. Today’s verses confirmed it all for me.

As I step out into the unkown and unfamiliar territory, I know I am following God’s lead. I know He will bless me and keep me. I know I have no fear. I am doing what the Lord has called me to do. I won’t lie; it still is not easy to say good-bye to the old familiar road, but it is what is best for me. So on to new adventures!

Lord, this is not going to be easy, but I know you are with me as I travel down this road less traveled. ~amen

2 Corinthians 9:10-11
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God

Did you ever hear the expression, “you can’t out give God”? Well I have to tell you it is true! I know the expression generally comes up in the conversation about money, but that is not all it applies to in life. There is so much more you can give than just money.

When you decide to give time to God, you will be amazed at how your day stretches out. Try giving a little forgiveness or grace to someone and see if you don’t find some for yourself. Seeking peace or love, yep give it out! You cannot out give God. He will just fill your cup up all over again. As a matter of fact, Psalms tell us He will fill it to overflowing (23:5).

The more you give, the more God will supply. The fruits of the Spirit come from a tree that never stops producing. Take what you need and pass it around. Share it everywhere you go. There is more than enough for everyone!

Lord, I am so glad you keep filling my cup. I will pour out your fruits to everyone I come in contact with today.

Matthew 9:37-38
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

You may think getting saved is the end of your story. However, maybe you are asking yourself, “I am a Christian, now what?” Well, I am glad you asked! If you didn’t ask, I was going to tell you anyway. If you happen to be the person of the first sentence, well sit back and hang on because i am about to rock your world! Here is your news flash for the day, being saved isn’t the end! You have a job to do!

Yep! You read that right. We do not get to sit in a pew, sing a few hymns and say the Lord’s Prayer once a week. As Joyce Meyers says, “Just because you are sitting in the garage, doesn’t make you a car!” Just because you show up to church doesn’t make you a Christian! A Christian is a follower of Christ. Follower is a verb! It is an action verb! It means MOVE! Get out their and spread the word of God! The fields are ripe unto harvest but the workers where are they? Where are you? Some one took the time to plant and help harvest you! Now, it is your turn! Get to farming!

Lord, I don’t want be a pew sitter. Help me out in the harvest field. ~Amen

James 2:12-13
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

What is judgement without mercy? It is pure hypocritical evil is what it is! It is petty and filled with hatred or vengeance. It is given out with the soul purpose of punishment. There is no thought given to circumstances. There is no thought of forgiveness and there is no thoughts of helping make corrections. This is not a judgment I ever want to be a part of on either side.

Mercy is compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one’s power to punish or harm. Notice it is in your power to punish or harm, but you choose not to deliver it. This should sound familiar because you are standing in that place. By every right God has the power to punish you for all of your sins. However, He is a merciful God. He loved you so much He sent his son to take that punishment for you. He lovingly found an out for you. If God has chosen to show you mercy, why do you think it is OK to judge someone else?

Lord thank You for showing me mercy. Help me pass this mercy onto others. ~amen

John 8:12
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

I am a huge fan of Disney’s Mighty Ducks. I recently finished the new series on Disney+. In one episode, the kids learned to close their eyes, listen, feel, and trust each other to make a hockey play. When I read today’s verse, it reminded me of that episode.

When we learn to trust Jesus, we will walk into the darkness with no fear. No matter how dark it looks, He will light our path. The thing is we have to trust Him and keep walking.

I have lived a few years. No, I am not telling you my age…lol. If there is one thing I have learned, God often only lights the step you are on currently. He doesn’t usually show you the entire path ahead of you. He might leave a breadcrumb or two, but not the full map. So, we must learn to just close our eyes, listen, feel, and trust Him! Then, keep walking!

Lord, I choose to listen, feel and trust You. ~amen

Romans 6:12
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

Most people live with this attitude of “You can’t make me!” We walk around with our inner two-year-old stomping and pouting. Sometimes that child gets out and we stomp and snort, jump up on our high horse or soapbox and spout off. I am thankful for this emotion when justice needs to be met. I am not so proud of it when I just want things my way.

There is one time in our Christian walk that we need to let the child fly free! Take your stand on AND against letting your sinful desires control you. Please bring on that full blown temper tantrum You fight for your God given rights and freedoms.

You are not a slave. You have been born into a royal priesthood! You are a child of a King, not a servant, not a friend, but a child. Start acting like it. Let that child out!

Lord, I am sorry for giving in to my sins. Thank you for giving me strength to fight them. ~ amen

Psalms 91:14-15
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

If you were to open my bible to Psalm 91, you would find it all highlighted. To me, it is the ultimate pep talk. That is exactly what David was doing. He was praying to and praising God. At the same time, he was giving himself a pep talk.

In chapter 90, David was pleading to God for help in the midst of his pain and suffering. Now in 91, he reminds himself just who it is he serves. He serves a God who will answer our prayers and be with us in our trouble. He is God that loves us and comes to our rescue. He will not come in our timing or by our plans. No! His timing is so much better. His plans are perfect.

So if you find yourself today in the middle of a mess, just send out the S.O.S. Then, sit back, take a breath, and give yourself a pep talk. God has a plan and He is working on it. Your Hero is about to burst through and rescue you!

Lord thank You for coming to my rescue! ~amen

2 Peter 2:19
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”

“People are slaves to whatever has mastered them.” In my bible this verse has a footnote connecting to Romans 6:16-19. Paul is telling the Christians in Rome that they needed to be careful of whom or what they give themselves over to and become a slave.

You are free and willing to make whatever choice you want. We spoke recently though on how not all choices are good ones. You are also free to choose your master but not all masters are equal. You need to make the choice between slaves of sin which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness (Romans 6:16). The choice is yours!

That choice has been given to you by God. You are no longer a slave to sin. You no longer are chained by death. Satan has no hold on you. When you claimed your allegiance to God, you were set free! Free to make a choice. What will your choice be? Do you give in to your old self or do you choose to follow obedience and allegiance to the One who set you free!

Lord, I choose to be follow you and be a slave to the One who set me free! ~amen

John 3:17
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

I may step an a few toes here today. However, I really want to say, “ Sorry, not sorry!” I very much stand with Paul and his thoughts on legalism. There is nothing in this world worse than a hypocritical or legalistic Christian. The verse today proves that God did not send Jesus to points fingers at people and say, “You are wrong! You are wrong! You are wrong!”

It has never been our job to get into peoples faces and tell them how wrong they are. No! It is our place to tell them how much God loves them faults and all. Yes! He does love them right where they stand. It is not our job to say your hair is too short or too long, you are not wearing the right clothes, saying the right words, drinking or eating the right things or hanging out with the right people. 

Jesus did not come to condemn the world. He came to show them love. I have been “THAT” Christian. You know what I found? I found three finger pointing right back at me! Don’t be a pointer, be a hugger.

Lord thank you for not being a pointer and being a hugger. ~amen

John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

So, I had this idea to Google live life to the fullest and a million pages of self-help lists came up. OK, maybe not a million, but you get the point. Everyone is looking for that one that thing that will fill their lives.

Christians aren’t any different. We often get into this rut. We know we are saved and going to be with God in Heaven one day, but what about today. We face trials and tribulations just like everyone else. Are we suppose to just keep grinding away, wishing and hoping for that someday? The answer is simple, NO!

Satan is trying to steal, kill and destroy any happiness and joy you may have here on Earth. Jesus came to give us life and a life to live. He wasn’t us to have love, peace, and joy while we are here on Earth, not just hope and faith in a future in Heaven with Him. So prepare to take you life back today and live it to the fullest!

Lord, today I choose to just have a life, but to live my life to its fullest! ~amen
