GARBAGE DAY



S.E.E.D. For Today_Garbage

 S-cripture "For His sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with Him.

Using the language of gains and loss, value and worthless, Paul is letting us know that his decision was not an impulsive act of breaking with the past. Paul considers anything he may be tempted to put his trust in as garbage, so he discards his former advantages and achievement's that he may become one with Christ. For him his personal relationship with God is of paramount importance, nothing is more valuable.

Example Getting rid of, confiscating, renounce, let go, counted as nothing, trash, rubbish, weight.

Exercise There are areas in our lives that we need to shift. There are things that we need to discard in regards to a greater relationship with Christ. Today is garbage day time to get rid of everything that is meaningless, useless and offensive. The smell of garbage can be pretty offensive. What is in you that gives off an aroma, that is not pleasing to God? Do an evaluation of your relationship with God.  What do I consider gain? Have I really made the switch, my life for His? Using a journal talk it out with yourself and the Lord.

Devotion Lord I pray today that I gain greater insight of the value of knowing Christ. I pray that I walk forward with no regrets for what I lost but see those losses as gains. Help me not to hark over the past, but to be at peace with my choice. What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his own soul? Help me estimate earthly things for there true value compared to you, with the ambition of knowing You more and more.

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you ...

THE SAFE PLACE

S.E.E.D. For Today___ Safety Scripture "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble." Psalms 46:1 New Life Version In light of all that is going on in our world God is the most dependable person we know. Murder, and violence plague our city's and nothing seems to be safe anymore. When everything seems to be falling apart God is our safety, our refuge from the storms of life. He doesn't protect us in order to pamper us, He shelter's us so He can strengthen us to go back to life with it's duties and dangers. Trouble describes people who are in tight places in a corner and unable to get out, but we are not to be afraid. The earth may change and things will be in utter chaos, but in the Lord we have safety. Though everything around us and in us seems to be restless, God is in control. God is our safe place, in His will, in His hands He got the whole world, He formed it, shaped it, created it, and man co...

"Your Time Is Coming!"

"My Destiny and it's timing is in the hand of God." Psalms 16:5 Your way of life, your fortune, your fate, your portion comes from God. Knowing God is to know that He operates in rhythm, seasons, or times. Ecclesiastes 3 breaks down very intricately the seasons, or timing of a man's life or destiny. It tells us in vs.1 that, "Everything on earth has its own time and its own season" ( CEV ) or " Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses." ( GNT ) Being in sync rhythmically with God is so vital to the believer, operating in boundaries of our destiny or fortune, is the ability to flow in purpose. God has a purpose for each of us, you will find it to be your greatest joy as you discover the privilege of understanding the intention of God for your life. There are times as believers we find it difficult to accept what God has given us. There will be times when your ideas of what you want may get in the way of you and God...
