Fulfill God’s Purpose for You

Apr22

Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”
Matthew 26:53-54 NASB1995‬

God’s plan, just like Jesus, may include our own persecution to the death. Everyday, everything, in our day has already been sifted through the hands of God. I often ask myself, “Why are you complaining, worrying, upset? Give it to God and press on.”

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14 NASB1995‬

Pressing on we are trusting God to complete His plan in us and through us.

Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
Hebrews 6:1 NASB1995‬

‭
🌹So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord.
His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
Hosea 6:3 NASB1995‬

Philippians 3:13-14

Jul5

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13‭-‬14 NASB

🌹The only true God who saves and calls us to a holy calling, I put my faith and trust in You alone. I know my salvation was not according to anything I have done, but according to Your own purpose and grace which was granted me in Christ Jesus from all eternity.
I know, God, that You cause all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to Your purpose. The gifts and Your calling, God, are irrevocable.
I pray for strength  and stamina to run my race, keeping my eyes on You, in such a way that I will receive the imperishable gift of eternal life with You, my God. You are my true prize.
In the awesome name of Jesus Christ I pray, amen.
2 Timothy 1:9/Romans 8:28/Romans 11:29/1 Corinthians 9:24 NASB

Worship

Mar8

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. — Psalm 63:3-4

What does your worship entail? The Psalmist here first specifies why he is praising God, because Your lovingkindness is better than life. A close intimate walk with Jesus helps us see His lovingkindness in our lives. Then his lips praise the Lord. Do you praise Him with your lips, your voice, the words of your mouth exalting the Lord?

Worshipping the Lord with praise is a lifelong endeavor. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. (Psalm 104:33); I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. (Psalm 146:2). This endeavor is enjoyable for us and deserving of Jesus. To bless Him is to extol Him as holy and glorify Him. Make it your life’s ambition, your goal each day. Acknowledge Him every day. It is not exclusively a Sunday experience or practice. He is so deserving of our praise. Lift up your hands.

Do you ever lift up your hands in His name? The Psalmist, in 143:6, says “I stretch out my hands to You; My soul  longs for You, as a parched land.” The Lord is our fountain for the parched land of our heart. As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. (Psalm 42:1).

Worship is the revival of our souls. Worship strengthens our faith. Worship, best of all, draws us close to our Lord drawing us into His very presence. What better place to be so why don’t we spend more time worshipping our Lord?

My hope and prayer for you as you read this is that you will be challenged to spend more time in worship of our God. Make it a priority of your life and see if you aren’t changed. You will be blessed.

Continually seeking Him,

Sharon
