It is still God’s desire for us to put ALL of our faith in Him. After all, the fear and reverence of God is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7), right? We cannot access true wisdom - Godly wisdom - without God. God is all powerful. There’s nothing too hard for Him, and no one who can stand against Him (Romans 8:31). So, before you consult your intellect on making an important decision today, instead, trust God for His wisdom, wait for His guidance and place your confidence in Him. #HeIsAble
Oftentimes, the path that we are on in life has already been “straightened” for us without us even being aware - that’s the kind of good Father we serve.
He’ll cut down a mountain, smooth out rough ground or even send people on our behalf to get us through, and the world will have to sit back and take notice at the way He does it. He will always get the glory. We have access to the Holy Spirit, and He’s our Guide. He desires to order your steps and direct your life (Psalm 37:23), so let Him!
So when you reflect on all that He’s blessed you with today, don’t forget about the things He’s removed from your path without you even being aware. You are loved and precious in His sight, and the location of both your steps and heart is important to Him. Trust in Him and rest (Proverbs 3:5-6)!

Regardless of the circumstance - GOOD or BAD - there is power in our praise. We serve a faithful God, and in His hands is the power to change any situation. He is definitely worthy of our praise and when we exalt God, we put Him in the proper perspective - above and greater than the circumstance. Because He’s a Good Father, He also graces us with favor. So praise Him through and in the middle of it! He’s more than able to bring you through. He is faithful to His children.

🙌 Our Heavenly Father desires for our relationship with Him to not be a stagnant. He desires for our relationship with Him to be organic - constantly growing, strengthening and reaffirming our faith and confidence in Him, knowing that He’ll never fail us.
In essence, our goals, dreams and desires should be so deeply intertwined with His plans for our lives that it becomes second nature to consult with Him to make sure they stay aligned. The more we trust and obey Him and that we see Him prove Himself time and time again, the more our faith is strengthened. Start your day off thanking Him for His faithfulness to you AND exercising your faith so that it can be strengthened. #HeWontFailYou

🙌 Rejoice! We are Christ's representatives! It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day circumstances of life, but it’s important that we not loose site of the mission that we are on as sons and daughters of God. Never forget that one key way to stay “in tune” with your heavenly homeland and to make sure you are fulfilling the assignment of the King of that land is to regularly pray in tongues.
We get direction, wisdom, power and insight that others aren’t privy to. Remember, we are “living epistles” (communicators) of God’s ability! Embrace the assignment and expect Him to move on your behalf!

When we ask and receive wisdom from God (James 1:5), we can rest assured that it will also be apparent in our decisions and character. It will lead us to seek peace and to show mercy. Wherever God leads us there will be no hypocrisy, partiality or inaccuracy - it’s pure, holy and just!
When we stir up the gift inside of us, we provide the proper environment for the Holy Spirit to guide us and "lead" in every area of our lives supernaturally. We are privy to information that mere knowledge would not have been able to reveal to us. Trust God’s plan for your life and that He will supply and provide for you wherever He leads you.

God is not moved by outward appearances (I Samuel 16:7), He is moved by His will and the condition of our hearts. When we earnestly seek God with all our hearts, He is moved to speak and reveal Himself to us. Let’s not forget to take the time daily to pray in the spirit to stir up your spirit man. Seek God’s face in prayer and by meditating on His Word as desperately as a deer pants for water at a stream (Psalm 42:1). Only Jesus can quench our soul’s thirst.

🙌 Peace is just one of the benefits of being in the family of God (Isaiah 26:3, John 14:27), so be encouraged and take advantage of what He willingly has made available to you. Cast all your cares on God. Walk in His peace today and trust that He will give you strength every step of the way. If you are His child then peace is just part of His inheritance.

Oftentimes, in the process of our decision-making, we unconsciously check in with our intellect and “experience” before we do with the very One who created the brain that curates our intellect and affects our past experiences. He is ALL-knowing and therefore privy to information that we are not.
So, don’t hastily make important decisions out of anxiety or fear over a lack of time. Our God is the Author of time, but He is not subject to it. So, put your trust in Him and make a conscious effort today to check in with your spirit before moving forward on any serious decision. He loves you and can give you divine insight, wisdom and favor when and where you need it. Trust Him…He’s got you! 🙌
👂What have your ears been tuned into lately? It’s important for us as ambassadors of Christ to be tuned into the “skillful and godly wisdom” that only God can provide. An ambassador aims to carry out the wishes of the leadership and country that he or she is representing. So, in the same regard, we should be eager to ensure that we have clear instruction and discernment on how to handle the affairs of our lives instead of yielding to our own intellect (Proverbs 3:5-6).
🙌 Never lose sight of the fact that we serve a good God and Father, and He’s more than wiling and happy to give us HIS wisdom when we ask Him in faith. So, make sure you stay in tune and in communication with your homeland (the Kingdom of God) and its leader (your Heavenly Father). SN: Praying in the Holy Spirit is the “tuning” device to help ensure your signal is clear.

🙌 Our Heavenly Father desires for our relationship with Him to not be a stagnant. Nope. He desires for your relationship with Him to be organic. It’s His heart that we are constantly growing, strengthening and reaffirming our faith and confidence in Him, knowing that He’ll never fail us. In essence, our goals, dreams and desires should be so deeply intertwined with His plans for our lives that it becomes second nature to consult with Him to make sure they stay aligned. The more we trust and obey Him and that we see Him prove Himself time and time again, the more our faith is strengthened. Start your day off thanking Him for His faithfulness to you AND exercising your faith so that I can be strengthened. #HeWontFail

🙌 When we place our confidence in God and trust Him to lead our lives, we are cognizant of God’s love for us. The peace and joy that He’s given us access to is beyond our understanding (Philippians 4:7, Proverbs 3:5-6). He desires for our hearts to overflow with His love.
Regardless of what’s going on around us, we can put our trust and hope in God. He anchors our souls when everything around us seems to be unstable. Our Father desires to lead our lives, give wisdom and bring peace of mind. May this bring joy to your heart today. God loves you.

He is faithful - God all by Himself, the First and the Last, All Powerful, All Knowing, Consistent, Merciful, Good Father, Loving, Healing, Compassionate, Righteous, Holy, and Magnificent God and He…He cannot deny it! No matter what we face - success or failure - we can always depend on our Heavenly Father. He is your life source, so stay connected to Him. There is power in the name of Jesus and neither He or His enemies can deny it. Trust and obey His Word and follow His promptings. #HeWontFail

Our God is a “finisher”. He completes every task that His hand is upon. He didn’t start calling creation - as we know it - into existence and then give up because He was tired or no longer inspired. Be encouraged that in a similar fashion, the work that God has begun IN you, whether it’s your purpose, a vision that God has given you or even Him helping you to make improvements in your life (Psalm 138:8), He will complete it.
🙌 He has not and will not give up on you. You can do all things with the help of the Lord (Philippians 4:13) and can complete any task today in Jesus’ name (2 Timothy 1:7). HAPPY SUNDAY!

🙌 Good morning new mercies! God has has blessed you with an entirely new set of mercies for today. Yes…He is faithful and because of His faithfulness, we can be faith FULL; we can put our hope in Him. His grace is sufficient; if you’ve hit it, it’s still only because of His grace.
Reflect on and thank God for His love for you this morning. Appreciate His “leading” of your life (Psalm 23, Isaiah 30:21). Because of God’s faithfulness to us, our hope and faith IN HIM can be renewed afresh this morning and the next, just like his mercies. He is a good Father! May we represent you and the family well today (Ephesians 2:19)!
Love truly does cover all (1 Peter 4:8). So, put on love as a cloak this morning. Our Heavenly Father truly is love, and His love bonds things together in harmony. So regardless of what you’re going through, just imagine His arms holding you and strengthening you today. Let His joy be your strength; He is well able to carry you through every situation and circumstance. Rest in Him. (Isaiah 43:2, Nehemiah 8:10).

We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, and part of the benefits of that relationship, besides our salvation, are the fruits of the spirit and the “unexplainable”peace of God.
NEVER FORGET that it is God’s desire that we not exhaust our strength trying to make provision for the temporal things in this world. Instead, it’s His desire to turn our hearts and affections towards Heaven and the things that are really at the core of our Father’s heart (love, joy, peace, a desire for all men to be saved). The treasures that we have in store are INVALUABLE and in no way comparable to any earthly one. Rejoice and find peace in that today.

When our focus is on representing our Heavenly Father well here on earth, then we will do our best to ensure that our “good name” is intact. How else can we properly represent a God so powerful and faithful? When we have a good name or reputation, whether on the job, with a lender or within your respective communities, you are looked upon more favorably and better opportunities will come your way. Oftentimes, the amount of what is saved or given to you when you have the favor of God is on your life is of greater value to you in the end, whether it’s received monetarily or in some other form.
🙏 God, please give us the wisdom, strength and direction to represent you properly in our behavior, deeds and thoughts. Thank you for the favor that you have given us so freely and surrounded us with (Psalm 5:2). We are forever grateful for your love for us.
🙌 There is power in both your words and praise! Declare that the Lord is your strength and peace! He puts a new song in your mouth (Psalm 40:3). You have nothing to fear…what can man do to you (Hebrews 13:6)?? Remember God is your salvation, and He does fights for YOU. Keep your eyes on Him and continue to obey and trust His leading for your life. He will not fail you!
#dailydevotional #salvation #YourPeace #vcccharlotte #bible
There comes a time in our relationship with our Heavenly Father that we have to make a decision once and for all to put ALL - not 50%, not 97.5%…but 100% - of our confidence in God. No backups. No Plan B. 😌
Through the power of the blood of Jesus, we have gained access to come boldly to our Heavenly Father. He hears your cry and your concerns. He knows your desire for wisdom and discernment, and He will answer you. Don’t allow doubt to find its home in your heart. Stay connected to your Heavenly Father throughout the day by keeping your faith active and your spirit man built up. He will not fail you!
