GO DEEP



















S.E.E.D. For Today___Devotion

 Scripture "Create in me a clean heart, O God and renew a loyal spirit within me. Psalms 51:10 NLT

 David's sins had affected his whole person, his eyes, his mind, his ear and bones, his heart and spirit, his hands and his lips. David knew this, so he asks for more than cleansing, he wanted his entire being to be restored so he could be totally devoted, acceptable to the Lord. David understood that the  inner person the heart was the source of his trouble and that he was incapable of changing his heart on his own. He wanted God to cleanse him and to give him a spirit of devotion that in his heart he would not waver in his ways towards God. David loved God and knew God was faithful to him no matter what and he did not want to lose the blessing and help of the Holy Spirit. David's devotion unto God was true and relentless to him. Often times the hopelessness of human nature can break our devotion and honor unto God. It miss appropriates our affections toward things that separate us from the Father. Sometimes we just have to allow God to take us to the depths of our issues that they do not make us disloyal, disobedient and dismayed.

Example Devotion is the love, loyalty, the enthusiasm for a person, activity or cause. Faithfulness, fidelity, constancy, commitment, allegiance and dedication.

Exercise Read Psalms 51 Journal and Talk to God as David did in this Psalm about himself. We know the truth about God's word but we still deliberately lie to ourselves about ourselves. We try to cover up the issues within until we realize that we can no longer live with it. Our journey is because of God's devotion to His creation and our response should be the same. There is a quote that says; "we stopped checking for monsters under our bed, when we realized they were in us." So we need God to Go Deep.

Devotion Lord I pray that You will work deep within the inner most parts of my being. I know that in terms of fidelity I am like a wayward spouse. I love You then I don't because I'm torn due to the many loves I have in my life. Please create in me a clean heart and renew a loyal spirit within me. I'm learning that I will not be free until I learn how to dive, head first, and relinquish my undying devotion to the things and ways of this world. I pray to be faithful, loyal, consistent, committed, in utter dedication and allegiance to You 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

UN-DO!

S.E.E.D. For Today: Scripture: "Undo The Heavy Burdens" ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Example: There was a great deal of injustice in the land and with the rich exploiting the poor and the rulers using their authority only to make themselves richer. It was a conflict between truth and lies, just like in our land today. The people of God were no different in operating under the same system as this. But God called them out and wanted them to understand that their fasting was in vain if they did not undo the heavy burden they placed on others while still outwardly devoting themselves to religion or as they thought to God. Exercise: Let's invite the Holy Spirit to solve problems and aid us in lifting loads and overcome barriers that keep us and our loved ones from walking joyfully in the Lord. In self-denying love and care for others, let's undo any heavy burden or untie any yoke that we may have placed upon friends, family, associates or even employees. Devotion: Lord toda
