Reset

Is God just your reset button to a quick fix? Do you not understand that he wants to fix your brokenness? He doesn't want to just reset you and wait to hit the button again. God gave His son Jesus to fix the things the world and what we ourselves has broken in us. His plan is to make us just like we would be in the garden of Eden without sin and brokenness. Let Jesus heal your heart, mind and soul.

Contending

Many people believe that now that Jesus has come that we should have peace, prosperity, and fruit. Little do they want to talk about the other things that Jesus said we would have as His disciples, suffering, lack and persecution. We have both instances in our lives in different seasons. As we tackle these times in our lives what is in our hearts and minds. As Christians we should see ourselves as kings and priest. We are over comers in Jesus Christ because of His death on the cross. We are now walking in His authority through the Power of the Holy Spirit to stand and contend. We should be full of joy all seasons of our lives. Why because of Jesus Christ. Job say with his friends and mourned in sack cloth and ash seeking God. I am not being critical of Job but the difference between him and us is we have Jesus Christ in our lives living in us. So as we may go through the same things as Job we can walk in joy. We can stand and contend to accomplish all the things that God has asked us to do. DO NOT GIVE UP CONTEND!!

Growth

    My friend has a new garden concept he has invested in. The idea is that there is no dirt, the plants stick out of a pipe. The roots are inserted into the plant and the nourishment flows over the roots. There are no contaminates just organic nourishment. I wonder what would happen if we pushed away from the contamination's of culture both Christian and Secular. We just got our nourishment straight from the Lord.
    The other part of this new system is that the seeds used were from original stock and had not been manipulated to make them better by man. They had not been changed in any way which changes the nutrient  values of the fruit every time we mess with them. It is kinda like processed food that we have learned has caused our obesity and health issues of today.
    In our culture are we doing the same things, manipulating spiritual truths like processed food and seeds are for instant gratification. We see quick growth and joy in the people but there is no long term value in it. As soon as trials come they cannot stand in the storm and are blown over. Lets get back to personal study of God's word and get a steady diet of un-manipulated spiritual food.

Order your day

Time and money have a lot in common. You only have so much of it and you have a lot to accomplish with it. Like a budget for money to tell it where to go for the optimum effect so we must order our day with God and do things His way so that we can accomplish all we can. There are a lot of things that steal this precious commodity from us and they are not always bad things but they keep us from accomplishing all that we can for God. Have you ordered your day yet?
