Start Your Day With Jesus

Are You Conforming To This World?

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.

Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it.

Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Romans 12:1‭-‬2 MSG

Who Is God To You?

Provider, Healer, Father, Lover, Friend, Helper, WayMaker, Counsellor, Protector, Mighty Warrior,  Defender, etc?

He is Yahweh (anything you need him to be at this moment in your life).

This is what King David, the Psalmist said, when King Saul was hunting him down to kill him;

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

Psalms 91:2 NIV

Who do you say God is to you today?

You Can't Give Up Now

This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. You will not have to fight this battle.

Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, ... (add your name). Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’ ”

Beware Of Half Truths.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:32 KJV

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 14:6 KJV

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

My Grace Is Sufficient For You

But he answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me.

So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to God’s power.

2 Corinthians 12:9‭-‬10 TPT

This morning, we enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; we give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.

Mark 11:24 NLT

But sometimes, even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.

James 4:3 NLT

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 NLT

Just A Little While

For yet a little while and the wicked one will be gone [forever]; Though you look carefully where he used to be, he will not be [found].

The wicked plots against the righteous And gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him [the wicked one—the one who oppresses the righteous], For He sees that his day [of defeat] is coming.

Psa 37:10‭, ‬12‭-‬13 AMP

“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.

God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.

Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.

John 3:16‭-‬18 MSG

Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God!

Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life.

Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God.

That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored.
