Sow Sparingly

Every command God gives us in His Word is for our good. He is a good God, and He works all things together for our good because He loves us. He wants to bless us, multiply us and fill us with His exceeding joy and peace, but we have to do our part. We have to obey His commands in order to set the blessing into motion.
One of the best ways to see the blessing of God operating in your life is by sowing a seed of your time, abilities or resources. Proverbs says that those who scatter seed generously reap even more. That’s because when you give, God promises that it will come back to you in abundance - pressed down, shaken together and running over. But, you have to freely receive in order to have something to give.
Remember, giving is tied to receiving. I have found that the more we freely receive from God, the more we desire to freely give to others. Today, I encourage you to keep your heart and mind open to what God has for you. Look for ways to sow seeds. Freely give and set the blessing in motion in your life today!

Ask For More Than What You Deserve

Image
Sometimes we try to help God by considering the amount of things we ask from Him. We feel that when asking Him for something, we shouldn't ask too much, maybe we think we might seem selfish or we have a higher chance of getting what we want when we ask for little.  We forget that His supplies are limitless and He has not placed a limit to what we can ask of Him. If you can boldly declare how great and mighty He is, we should also have that understanding that He can also do great and mighty things for you. He said "He'll do exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ask of Him..." So when asking God for something, don't go to Him with a cup, rather go with something bigger, go with a large heart heart ready to receive all that He can offer. We shouldn't have the "I don't deserve this" mentality, because if we think of it that way, we probably do not deserve the life we're currently living. But God kept you. Why? Because He doesn't s...

THE GREAT I AM

Image
We serve a great and mighty God! He is the Creator of the universe, the one who spoke the worlds into existence. He's called the Great I AM, and He's saying today, "I am everything you need. I am your strength. I am your wisdom. I am your protection. I am your provider. I am your way maker. I am your problem solver. I am your dream giver. I am your victory! David put it this way in Psalm 138, "Though I am surrounded by troubles, You will bring me safely through. Your fist is clenched against my enemies. Your power will save me." Maybe you feel like David today. You're surrounded by all kinds of difficulties. You're tempted to just settle right where you are. You need to get your fire back! Instead of focusing on how big your problems are, focus on how big your God is! He is everything you need. He is the Great I AM, and He is the one leading and guiding you into victory in every area of your life!

Having the right perspective

Image
Everyone faces problems, but how we view them determines whether we enjoy life or we endure it. It’s really not the size of the problem that’s important, it’s our perspective of that problem, it’s how big or how small we make it in our own mind. You can have a huge problem, but if you know that God is in control and that he is working behind the scenes, because you have the right perspective it won’t get you down. But you can have even a small problem, and if you stay focused on it, you go around worried, thinking it’s never going to work out- because you have the wrong perspective it will end up stealing your joy. David said in Psalms “Magnify the lord with me”. When we magnify something, we are not changing the actual size of that object, we are changing our perspective of that object. David was saying in effect don’t magnify your problem, magnify your God. When you face difficulties, it’s good that you look back on your life and remember all the things that God has brought y...
