CROSS-EXAMINE



S.E.E.D. For Today_Cross-Examine

 Scripture "Put me on trial, Lord and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart." Psalms 26:2 NLT

 This is not an expression of self-righteousness but the honest testimony of a real man of God. The words examine and test refer to the testing of metals to determine their true value and to remove the rubbish. This is a prayer rendered to God that He would help the inner man of the psalmist, through examination, and investigation. We need God to morally put us on trial, withholding nothing. We ought to enter God's court with praise and thanksgiving knowing it is He that knows the intent of each of our hearts, interrogate our motives oh God and the self-deception that lurks within, search for evidence of any ways that must be judged and purged by the guidelines of your Word. That we may be vindicated in your presence, judge our case favorably. Don't let us suffer the fate of those who rebel against you and don't condemn us along with murderers, so redeem us and show us mercy.

Example to examine by questions intended to check a previous examination; examine closely or minutely. In a court of law to examine as for the purpose of discrediting the witnesses testimony.

Exercise Read Psalms 26 Journal or talk to God about what is in your life that's discrediting your testimony. What are some things that you are still guilty of, put the issues on trial.

Devotion Lord I wash my hands at Your altar, singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of your wonders. Lord I pray that I will trust in You and not waver that when all is said and done You will declare me innocent. I pray to live a life according to Your truth, that I do not end up on trial as those who commit crimes against You. I wash my hands of my old ways, cross-examine me, and judge me with your favor that I will dwell in the place where Your glorious presence dwells in Jesus Name Amen.

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...
