Faith
Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”  Through faith, I am given a promise. A promise that God will reveal himself to me if I remain faithful.  When I ponder on the word “faith”, it really makes me think of believing in something that is unseen. Believing in the unseen, can be hard sometimes for me. But my God reminds me time, after time, after time that if I seek him whole heartedly, He will gladly reveal himself to me. I must “look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith” to keep guiding me. It’s not even just a hope, it’s a promise to those who believe. (Hebrews 12:2a)  Romans 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the world, His attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that we are without excuse.”
His attributes are seen through the hearts of his people. Even though it’s hard for me to trust him at times, I have faith that he will hold me in His righteous hand. I need to have faith that he will guide me. Needing to remember that, even though I can’t physically see Him, I can most defiantly feel in the depths of my core.  I not only can feel His Holy Spirit inside of me, but I can feel him in the atmosphere surrounding me. God calls us to walk by faith and not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7). I can’t see my Father, but I feel His presence that comes from my rapidly beating heart. My hope is built on nothing less, then Jesus Christ my righteousness.

Application: The moral of all of this, is that I want to walk with faith and not by sight. I am going to walk out my faith by completely surrender my rights and ask my Father to help me when times get tough. To build a solid foundation through prayer and faith.
Father God,

I pray that I would completely surrender my rights to you. To walk by faith even when I can’t see the end goal. I TRUST YOU. I trust in the promise that the more I talk to you, the more you will talk and reveal yourself to me. It’s in your precious and holy name I pray, Amen.

Blessed

Blessed Deuteronomy 3:21 – “…Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done…” I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to serve in Costa Rica for these past 6 months.   God has shown me so many things that I will never forget. He has revealed to me the truth about myself that I have an attitude of complaining, pridefulness and laziness, all which needed to be strip away. He has displayed to me his promises of faithfulness, provision, fulfillment, renewal, and boldness. He has also allowed me to look through his eyes and experience his love that he has for all his children. Honestly, I don’t ever think that I would have experience that kind of love anywhere else. I can’t even explain it, it’s like complete joy and fulfillment. I don’t know, it’s crazy. That is something that I am going to bring back home with me, I am passionate about kids and loving on them the way the Lord loves me. This season was amazing but, what I have to remember is, that just because

Consistency

Consistency Romans 12:1-2 - Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. I am convinced that these verses is one of my overseer’s favorite to quote. I have heard it so much the past 6 months, that it’s pretty much now one of my favorites now as well. This section is talking about being a living sacrifice to the Lord. We are supposed to walk in holiness and in purity while we are on this earth.   Now that can be really hard, like really hard. Because that means we have to be consistently living a life that is set apart. This section doesn’t say “Do not conform to the pattern of this world”… SOMETIMES. No, it say, “Do not”. For example, why is it that we won’t

Wisdom 5 Ephesians 5:15-17 – See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. If we walk by godly wisdom, then it will help us determine what our purpose is. But there’s a few curve balls to this. Right here in this verse, it’s basically promising us that there are going to be hard days ahead. There is nothing we can do to prevent them but to stay faithful in your calling. The verse goes on and says, “Therefore.” Now this is a very important transition word. It letting us know that the next portion has something significant to say to us. And that is, DO NOT BE UNWISE. Plan and simple. Don’t do it. The bible tells us on many occasions to not be wise in your own worldly eyes. It also tells us that a fool will look at the world with his own eyes and not through the eyes of Christ. That is definitely a dangerous place to be. I bet your wondering what t
