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 ...

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...

A MATTER OF HUMAN DIGNITY

S.E.E.D. For Today__ Humanity Scripture "So God created human beings in His image. In the image of God He created them. Genesis  1:27 NLT In light of everything that we are facing in our society today, police brutality and the horrific and senseless crimes that we commit against one another mankind must remember that we are destroying God's masterpiece. Ephesians 2:10 tells us;  "For we are God's masterpiece. He created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago." This was never God's plan He knew that after Adam sinned that all mankind would no longer have His nature so He sent His Son into the world that we would again be like Him. He knows the heart of men, and His message to us is to love one another as you love yourself. Love and hate are at war, this is not about race, this is a matter of human dignity. Example Humanity is the human race the action of humanity is humanness, benevolence, compassi...
