God will Protect

The Lord will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121:7-8 NIV

The word of God tells us in Psalm 121:7-8 that our God will keep us from all harm, watch over our life and will cover us daily. What a blessing! Now more than ever we have to trust God for his divine protection. There are so many things that threaten our life and peace. But, when you know that God is in control and his hands are on you; a sense of relief sweeps over your soul.

We can declare God as our keeper everyday! He covers us daily from everything that is trying to harm us. God is protecting us from the very things our eyes do not see everyday. That is why he deserves all the glory, honor and praise. We don't have to worry about protecting ourselves when we have our heavenly Father watching over us.

However, there is something that we need to do - trust God for his divine protection. Whatever it is, give it to God and believe that you are covered. Trusting in him will empower you. When you willingly yield to him he delights in keeping watch over you.

As you step out today, walk with confidence and let your mind be at peace - God is watching over your soul!

You are Chosen

Just in case you forgot who you REALLY ARE...

"But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" 1 Peter 2:9

You have been transformed as a child of God and you are who say you are. Don't entertain voices that suggest otherwise. You are valuable to God and you have great purpose. We sometimes get stuck because we are constantly reflecting on our imperfections. If we focus on what we are lacking we will never see how much we have gained.

God sees us as we really are, he is the only one that sees the full picture from the beginning. You are being shaped and molded everyday through his word. The more you allow the word to shape your vision of yourself the more you will be empowered to walk boldly in your identity.

Today, I challenge you to proclaim all that you are in God, not what you think about yourself. It's important to recite confidently who God declare you to be. Speak life over your life and watch things begin to line up for you.

In Pursuit of Jesus

"The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, 'what do you seek?'" John 1:37-38

This was a powerful question that Jesus proposed to these men who were captivated by his words. They were drawn to him and wanted to follow him. In that moment, there were no miracles of healing or deliverance. Just the Word. They received the fresh manna that created a lasso around there hearts and demanded their attention. It was all so crystal clear that what they were seeking was a spiritual encounter. The words of Jesus made such an impact that it prompt them to follow him without question.

Can you remember the last time His words ignited something inside of you? Can you recall a time when you were excited about seeking and pursuing him just because you wanted to simply know him? When Jesus asked 'What do you seek' I can imagine that they were filled with hope and great expectations. Their hearts were stirred and their spirit became alive with every word that proceeds out of the mouth of their soon to be Savior.

The same passion and zeal these disciples of Jesus portrayed is what we should aspire to practice. If we want to see transformation in our lives we need to pursue an encounter with Jesus. The scripture tells us, if we seek him, we will find him, if we search for him with ALL of our heart. It takes a whole heart to be focused to go after what it wants. When a heart is divided or distracted one can easily miss what God is saying and doing that will bring the much needed change in their life.

We have to learn to chase and pursue Jesus. Obstacles, roadblocks, and all forms of hinderances will come our way, that will never change. It's the "no matter what" mindset and spiritual tenacity to run through troops, leap over walls and breakthrough barriers to get to him. You have to want the encounter to really pursue it. If you need help in your pursuit because of your struggles...ask him.

Too many people have given up their pursuit of Christ because life has pushed them down so many times that they refuse to get back up. But, God wants you to know that if you choose to pursue his will for your life, there is nothing you can't face or overcome. The more you seek him despite what stands in front of you, the more you will find the strength to endure as God will make a way for you.

The Holy Spirit is calling you into his presence today. Run to him and seek him for a fresh infilling. Seek him for direction, pursue him because he holds you're today, tomorrow and future; love on him because he is God. He alone can meet all of your spiritual and daily needs. He is a way-maker and has already paved the way for you to enter in through his son Jesus Christ!
