DAILY DEVOTIONAL | June 16th

Screen Shot 2019-06-16 at 7.22.39 AM.png

On this day that we celebrate those who are fathers, we also are grateful for those who truly do strive to encourage, comfort and lead their offspring towards the Kingdom of God. Even more comforting is the fact that if we have accepted Christ into our lives, we are privy to a loving relationship with our Heavenly Father, and He is a GREAT Father! It is always His heart to provide all that His children need - spiritually, physically, financially and emotionally (Philippians 4:19); and He know what we need before we ask. 

⁣

Whether you’ve been blessed to have an earthly father in your life or not, be comforted with the fact that not only is He Father to the fatherless, but His love for you is authentic and it runs deep. He truly does desire the absolute best for you, and to comfort, encourage and lead your life, so let Him! ⁣⁣

May God continue to bless those of you fathers that have endeavored to be a blessing, encourage and offer godly inspiration in your children’s lives. May He continue to give you wisdom and favor in all that you put your hands to. #HappyFathersDay⁣⁣⁣⁣

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” -Joshua 1:8-9 AMP⁣

How’s your diet been working out so far in 2019? Not talking about your nutritional diet (though we wish you the best in that area too lol). How has your spiritual appetite been? Most likely you’ve heard the expression “You are what you eat!” at some point in your life and with that statement is the connotation is that whatever foods you are consuming on a daily basis - good or bad - can affect your physical well-being. Well, in the same light, whatever you are meditating on a regular basis whether it’s God’s Word or entertainment, social media, etc. will eventually influence and affect your spiritual health and your outlook on the world and the Kingdom of God. God desires and has called for us to meditate (think deeply or focus one's mind for a period of time) on His Word so that our spiritual man is strengthened and so that we will know His heart and become aligned with His will for our lives. By obeying His Word, we set the scene for God to bless and prosper us! On top of that, He’s promised that He won’t abandon us while we walk in obedience. He’s promised to be with us every step of the way! Glory to God! Have a blessed & prosperous Friday.⁣

“But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.” -Hebrews 11:6 AMP 

Good Morning! You have so many things to smile about and be grateful for this morning (air in your lungs, eternal life, joy, peace just for starters. Want to make God SMILE too??  Make a conscious effort to solicit His help in growing your faith. We could never repay God for all that He’s given us so freely through the gift of salvation, but we can please Him and make Him proud by trusting in Him and exercising our faith daily! Spend time seeking God by meditating on His Word and praying in tongues (stir up your inner man) regularly. Apply God’s Word the fruit of the Spirit to be developed in your life. Faith is obeying and trusting that God always has your best interest at heart, even when you don’t know HOW things will work out.

"Lord, I want to be in your will for my life! Grant me with the courage and boldness to trust and obey you when I don’t know how the pieces will all fit together. Give me a desire to seek you and meditate on your Word (Your will and instruction) daily so that I make you are pleased and I make you smile today…and for the rest of my life."
