Recipe for Life

No Comments

Baking a cake requires a recipe. Gathering the utensils and ingredients, carefully measuring and mixing, and then baking it for the correct length of time are all critical for its success. Too many eggs, omitting the sugar, or not measuring the flour correctly can cause it to flop.

A peaceful, pleasant life requires following a “recipe” too. Randomly picking and choosing which ingredients to add or omit on our own can be disastrous.

The Word of God has the recipe for a balanced, flourishing, “delicious” life. Allowing God to add and measure what goes into our lives brings peace, joy, and love. He leaves nothing to chance, but carefully mixes all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).

Prayer: Dear Lord, We trust You with our lives. May we always be pliable as you work in us. Every day give us the exact ingredients that we need.

An Open Heart

No Comments
    “And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul” (Acts 16:14 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible). Are you having difficulty believing God for a miracle or perhaps you are struggling with a belief in God at all? I challenge you to sincerely ask God to give you a trusting heart. I have full confidence that, like Lydia, the Master will create the conditions in your heart that will allow you to receive and accept the Word of God.
    Prayer: Lord, please open my heart as you did for Lydia in the book of Acts. I want to grasp all that you have planned for me today. Open my understanding of Your Word and enable me to live an abundant life.

God’s GPS

No Comments
    “Guide my steps by your word,” (Psalm 119:133).
    We often compare life to a road. Like physical roads-the road of life is not all smoothly-paved. Along the way we may encounter bumps, twists and detours; and then there are crossroads or intersections where we have to decide whether to go left or right or just continue straight ahead. Our most prized possession on life’s journey is the Word of God. Keep it hidden in the glove compartment of your heart and reach for it frequently. It is the ultimate roadmap-the quintessential GPS. If you make a wrong turn God’s voice will speak through His written Word and get you back on track again. And when the enemy throws up his “No U-Turns allowed” sign”, just look to God’s roadmap. He will make a way where there is no way!!
    Prayer: Lord, I confess that I cannot navigate through life without you. Help me to reach for and hide your Word in my heart every day so that I will not lose my way!
