Today, Pastor Ford will let us know that our real focus should be on worship.  Whatever we are going through, we ought to be able to say like the Psalmist says, “This is the day that Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!”

Today on Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain that God has choreographed the day that lies ahead for each of us.  His sovereignty is all over this day that each of us will be living.  So we need to understand He chose for us specifically whatever we are going through.  He has a purpose that He’s trying to work in us, so that we would not lose our joy, and so we would stand firm in our faith in Him.

Today, Pastor Ford will share the difference between thanksgiving, praise, and worship.  According to him, when we bless God for what He’s done specifically for us, that’s thanksgiving.  When we bless God for what He’s done in the world around us, that’s praise.  But when we bless God for Who He is, that’s worship.

God desires for us to worship Him.  And He wants sincere worship from us.  Why?  Because He not only wants to redeem us, and for us to allow Him to use us for His purposes, He also wants us to be rejoicing in Him and expressing our joy to Him through our worship.

Today, Pastor Ford will remind us that God’s resources are reserved for those who fulfill His responsibilities. Our provision has to be linked to His purpose.  And the problem is that many of us want the provision, but we don’t want His purpose.

Salvation is by grace.  So, in the process of salvation, we don’t help God out.  As we look at the passage we’re studying today, Pastor Ford will explain that Paul is saying the promise God made to Abraham and Sarah is very much like our salvation.  God does not need our help to perform any act or bring anything to pass, no matter what it may be, which ultimately means He does not need our help to save us.

There are times when we will lose out on the blessings of God, because we don’t have enough faith to put all of our trust in the plan He has for us.  But then there are times when we place only part of our faith in His plan, and God still chooses to bless us fully. How God chooses to bless us, when He chooses to bless us, and how much He chooses to bless us with, is really all up to Him. Find out more on today’s Treasured Truth.

We’ll be reminded today that we have a God Who cannot love us more than He already does and will never love us any less.  And even though we sometimes ignore the plan He has for us and we walk away from Him, He will never walk away from us.  No matter how far we stray, we never cease to be His children.

When we’re committed to Jesus, we need to have a commitment that’s three dimensional—first to the person of Christ, then to the proclamation of the gospel, then to participation in what He has called us to do and gifted us for.

It costs a lot to be a disciple of Jesus.  But guess what—it costs more not to be one!  Because Jesus said, “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it.  But whoever loses their life for My sake, will save it.”
