The Words of My Mouth and The Concentration of My Heart

S.E.E.D. For Today

 Scripture:  "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." Psalms 19:14

 Explanation: The psalmist has declared that only the word of God is the perfect foundation for any human to build. He prays to God to free him of guilt and offense lurking in his heart and closes the Psalm in the 14th verse with these words humbly submitting his mouth and his heart to God. This was his plea for true change.

 Example: Think about the things that lurk in our hearts and thoughts that are never said, the things hidden from people and not God that blemish us and leave us unacceptable in His presence. We must gain an understanding that real godliness is not only a matter of what we do but of what we say and think in our heart. Ask yourself what does my heart truly concentrate on daily? Hosea 14:12 says; as the people return to God, "Take words with you and return to the Lord." Say to Him forgive all our sins and receive us, (may we be accepted in your sight) that we may offer the fruit of our lips."

 Devotion: The glorious God of creation is also the glorious God of personal relationship through Christ. In prayer I submit my mouth and heart aligning them by your word. Be my Rock, my strength, my enabler. Be gracious to us our Redeemer save us and grant us Success. Let all that I say and think bring glory to God and not man. You have made me a kinsman of your blessings and your glory, let that be the concentration of  my heart. 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...
