Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. - Genesis 1:29 

5. Thankful Hearts: Fine dining often evokes gratitude for the chef's skill and effort. In our walk with Christ, we cultivate thankful hearts. We express gratitude for all the blessings He bestows upon us and acknowledge His goodness in our lives.

6. Sharing the Experience: Fine dining can be enjoyed even more when shared with others. In our walk with Christ, we share our faith and the love of Christ with others. We invite them to partake in the joy and richness of knowing Him.

7. Discerning Choices: Just as fine dining involves choosing the best ingredients and dishes, in our walk with Christ, we make discerning choices. We seek to align our lives with His will, making decisions that honor Him and bring glory to His name.

8. Time and Attention: Fine dining often requires time and attention to details. In our walk with Christ, we give Him our time and undivided attention. We prioritize our relationship with Him and make room for Him in our daily lives.

9. Feasting on His Love: In fine dining, we feast on delicacies. In our walk with Christ, we feast on His love and the abundant life He offers. We find our satisfaction in Him and His presence, knowing that He is the source of all we need.

The Shelter of the Most High

PSALMS 91

1Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

3Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

4He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

8You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

9If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling,

10no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.

11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;

12they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Walking out Psalm 91 in our walk with Christ involves applying its promises and principles to our daily lives. Here's a list of best practices and valuable insights we can glean from each section of Psalm 91:

Best Practices for Christians:

As Christians, walking out Psalm 91 involves living in a constant awareness of God's protection and presence. By incorporating these best practices into our lives, we can experience the fullness of God's promises and live fearlessly under His sheltering wings.

The New New

In the Bible, there is a verse that represents new beginnings and contains the number "eight." It is from 1 Peter 3:20-21 NIV

"...to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ."

From a biblical standpoint, the number "8" holds symbolic significance and carries several spiritual meanings. Understanding the symbolism of this number can provide insights that can help us in our walk with Christ. Here are some key points about the number "8" and its significance in the Bible:

Application: Embracing the symbolism of "8" can remind us that through Christ, we can experience spiritual renewal and have a fresh start. It encourages us to leave behind our past mistakes, sins, and failures and embrace the new life that comes from a relationship with Jesus.

Application: Recognizing the spiritual significance of "8" can inspire us to seek a deeper level of spiritual maturity and growth in our walk with Christ. It reminds us that God's work in our lives goes beyond mere completion; He desires to bring us to a place of spiritual fulfillment and completeness in Him.

Application: Meditating on the significance of "8" in relation to baptism can deepen our understanding of the sacrament and its spiritual implications. It reminds us that through baptism, we identify with Christ's death and resurrection, and we are called to walk in newness of life.

Incorporating these biblical insights into our walk with Christ can lead to a deeper appreciation of God's plan for our lives, His promise of new beginnings, and the hope of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. It encourages us to seek spiritual growth, embrace God's transformative work, and live in the reality of being made new in Christ.

Here's an acronym for "EIGHT"

E - Embrace His Grace

I - Inviting Jesus In

G - Growing in Faith

H - Hope for Tomorrow

T - Trusting His Promises

By embracing God's grace, inviting Jesus into our lives, growing in faith, having hope for tomorrow, and trusting in His promises, we can experience a new beginning with Christ.

Let’s Go Suddenly Lord!

suddenly - quickly and unexpectedly immediate instantaneously straight away quickly - 165 occurrences in the Bible 

In the Bible, the word "suddenly" is used to describe moments when God acts swiftly and unexpectedly in the lives of His people. These sudden interventions are often characterized by rapid and dramatic changes or blessings. While the word "suddenly" itself may not be used extensively, the concept is prevalent throughout the Scriptures. Here are some instances where the idea of "suddenly" appears in the Bible:

In our walk with Christ, the concept of "suddenly" reminds us of God's sovereignty, His perfect timing, and His ability to work in ways that are beyond our comprehension. Here's how it can be meaningful to us:

Overall, the concept of "suddenly" in the Bible reminds us of God's omnipotence and omniscience. He knows what we need, when we need it, and how to provide for us in His perfect time zone. As we walk with Christ, we should remain open to God's sudden interventions, trusting in His wisdom and surrendering to His plans for our lives.

All Prayed Up: 

Heavenly Father,

In the stillness of our hearts, we come before You in prayer, recognizing Your sovereignty and Your perfect timing. We thank You for being a God who is in control of all things, who knows the beginning from the end, and who works all things together for the good of those who love You.

Lord, we acknowledge that our human understanding is limited, and we may not always grasp the bigger picture of Your plans. Yet, we come before You with hearts full of hope and trust, knowing that You are a God of "suddenly." Your Word reminds us that You can act swiftly and unexpectedly, bringing about miraculous changes and blessings in our lives.

As we walk with Christ, we pray for "suddenly" moments in our journey. We bring before You the desires of our hearts, the burdens we carry, and the challenges we face. We ask, Lord, that You intervene suddenly in our circumstances, according to Your perfect will.

In Jesus' name, we pray,

Amen.

I love all those who love me. Those who search for me shall “surely” find me. - Proverbs 8:17 

"Surely" you have tasted that the Lord is good! - 1 Peter 2:3 

In the Bible, the word "surely" is often used as an affirmation or guarantee of a promise or truth. When the Lord uses "surely," it is to emphasize the certainty and reliability of His word. It's a way of assuring us that what He says will undoubtedly come to pass.

Here are a couple examples of how "surely" is used in the Bible:

Hold on to the promises of "surely" for our lives, we need to approach them with faith and trust in God's character. Here are some ways to do that family:

By holding on to the promises of "surely" with faith and trust in God, we can find strength, hope, and assurance in our journey of following Him.

SURELY: 

S - Savior: Jesus Christ is our Savior, who offers salvation and eternal life to all who believe in Him.

Keeping this acronym in mind can serve as a reminder of the central role of Jesus Christ in our lives and faith, and how His presence and love bring hope, assurance, and meaning to all aspects of our existence.

11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.

PROVERBS 26

1Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,

honor is not fitting for a fool.

2Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,

an undeserved curse does not come to rest.

3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,

and a rod for the backs of fools!

4Do not answer a fool according to his folly,

or you yourself will be just like him.

5Answer a fool according to his folly,

or he will be wise in his own eyes.

6Sending a message by the hands of a fool

is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison.

7Like the useless legs of one who is lame

is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

8Like tying a stone in a sling

is the giving of honor to a fool.

9Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand

is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

10Like an archer who wounds at random

is one who hires a fool or any passer-by.

11As a dog returns to its vomit,

so fools repeat their folly.

12Do you see a person wise in their own eyes?

There is more hope for a fool than for them.

13A sluggard says, “There’s a lion in the road,

a fierce lion roaming the streets!”

14As a door turns on its hinges,

so a sluggard turns on his bed.

15A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;

he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

16A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes

than seven people who answer discreetly.

17Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears

is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.

18Like a maniac shooting

flaming arrows of death

19is one who deceives their neighbor

and says, “I was only joking!”

20Without wood a fire goes out;

without a gossip a quarrel dies down.

21As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire,

so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife.

22The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;

they go down to the inmost parts...

Think First 

kind - 424 occurrences in the Bible 

truth - 333 occurrences in the Bible 

useful - 23 occurrences in the Bible 

The questions "Is it kind? Is it true? Is it useful?" can be powerful guidelines for evaluating our thoughts, words, and actions as we walk with Christ. Let's explore how each of these questions relates to our Christian journey:

By regularly asking ourselves these three questions—Is it kind? Is it true? Is it useful?—we can cultivate a Christ-centered mindset and lifestyle. These questions challenge us to examine our motives and intentions, encouraging us to be mindful of how we treat others, the veracity of our words, and the impact of our actions. Ultimately, this process helps us grow in Christlikeness and strengthens our relationship with God as we seek to live according to His will.

All Prayed Up: 

Heavenly Father,

As I come before you in prayer, I want to approach you with a heart of kindness, truth, and usefulness.

Is it kind? Lord, I pray that you would fill my heart with genuine kindness and compassion for others. Show me how to love my neighbors as myself and to treat them with respect and empathy. May my prayers be filled with intercession for those in need, encouragement for the discouraged, and a willingness to extend forgiveness and grace to those who have wronged me.

Is it true? Father, I desire to be honest and sincere in my prayers. I acknowledge that you are the God who knows all things, and there is no hiding from your truth. Help me to be authentic and transparent before you, laying my joys, fears, doubts, and struggles at your feet. Show me any areas of my life where I might be deceiving myself or others, and lead me into your truth and righteousness.

Is it useful? Lord, I want my prayers to be aligned with your will and purposes. Open my eyes to see your plans and to seek first your kingdom in all that I pray for. Teach me to pray with faith and expectancy, trusting that you are a God who hears and answers prayers according to your perfect wisdom and timing. May my prayers bring glory to your name and bear good fruit in my life and the lives of others.

I pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord.

Amen.

You Need a Positive & a Negative 

Jesus, Your Name is Power! 

Do all things without complaining and disputing,

The concept of a battery with positive and negative terminals can be used as an analogy to relate to our lives in Christ and the ups and downs we experience.

In a battery, there are two terminals: the positive (+) terminal and the negative (-) terminal. When the battery is connected to a circuit, it creates a flow of electric current from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. This flow of energy powers the devices or systems connected to the battery, allowing them to function.

Similarly, in our lives as Christians, we experience various situations and circumstances that can be likened to the ups and downs of a battery's charge. Sometimes we are on "mountain tops," where everything seems to be going well, and we feel joyful, content, and blessed. These are moments of happiness, success, and prosperity.

On the other hand, there are also "valleys" in life, moments of difficulty, challenges, and hardships. These are the times when we may feel discouraged, overwhelmed, or spiritually drained. It could be personal struggles, failures, loss, or any other form of adversity.

Just as a battery cannot function without both the positive and negative terminals, our lives are a combination of highs and lows. Both positive and negative experiences are essential for our growth, learning, and spiritual journey.

The analogy reminds us of a few important lessons:

Remember, life is a journey, and we will encounter highs and lows. Trusting in God, leaning on His wisdom, and relying on His grace can help us navigate through the ups and downs, knowing that there is a purpose to every situation we face. Through our faith in Christ, we can find strength, hope, and peace, even in the darkest valleys, and rejoice in the blessings and joys of the mountain top experiences.

All Prayed Up:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we come before You in prayer, we are reminded of the analogy of our lives being like a battery with positive and negative terminals. We thank You for the gift of life, for the experiences that shape us, and for the ups and downs that teach us valuable lessons.

Lord, in the moments of joy and blessings, we lift our hearts in gratitude to You. You are the source of all good things, and we acknowledge that every positive aspect of our lives comes from Your loving hand.

May Your love, grace, and strength be the charge that sustains us through life's journey. As we face the positive and negative moments, may Your presence be the constant that anchors us, reminding us that You are in control and that the positive is just around the corner.

In Jesus' name, we pray,

Amen.
