Turn your eyes upon Jesus. You’ll find He is worthy of honor, praise, glory, suffering, and even death.

What if Jesus asked you that question today, “Whom do you say that I am?” What would you say? Would you repeat what others have told you? Would you bank on their knowledge? Or would you be able to give a first-hand account to your own experience with Jesus?

Whether it is relationships, our faith in Christ, discipleship, Jesus instructs us that it comes in steps. We can’t jump straight to the end. There’s work to be done to get there.

Can we lay aside our need to provide for ourselves and trust that He will give us all that we need?

Jesus has not failed us and never will. God will make a way, as He has always done before.

Don’t get lost in the tall weeds of the earthly journey. Bloom in The Gardener’s care.

What tremendous news that is for you and me! Salvation is offered to all who will believe! To all of those that have faith in Jesus Christ, and who would be satisfied with just the crumbs.

Only salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God can cleanse us from within.

Where is your place? Have you taken time to go there today? There is nothing more important than meeting with the Lord.

What faith-filled risk are we willing to take? God is ready to do some incredible things for the people around us, but we have to step out, willing to take that risk.

Yes, joy is a gift that transcends tragedies, illnesses, and excuses. Joy is God’s goodness and presence alive and at work in His children.

Our Heavenly Father is still in control. We can rest in Him.

Today, may you draw near to the Lord and be filled with His joy and love that only He can give.

Maybe we find in life what we want to find, what we seek, and what consumes our time and money. What we choose to “be-come” is a path of decisions made daily that projects our journey.

One thing happened. One thing was added to this man and he was changed completely.

If we desire change, God must be the motivation and strength to do so.

Memories are timeless treasures, reminders of love shared, and celebrations of God’s faithfulness.

By His grace we are forgiven and freed.

You have a choice – run or return.

Allow the God of the Universe to speak over and transform your clay into a masterpiece that you could never have imagined because it didn’t originate with you, but in the mind and heart of your Heavenly Father.

Lead us, Lord, in the way that is everlasting!

I’m grateful my father stepped in to pay that debt so that I could be freed from the sin and punishment.

Be reminded (and encouraged) that Jesus will be glorified in your “becoming” and your resemblance of Him will be your highest calling.

Let your heart sing to the Lord this morning in worship and praise! Let His joy flow through you!

God can use anybody to accomplish His will.

What are your motives? Why have you chosen to follow Jesus, and are you still choosing that path every day?

When we obey the Lord’s commands, we glorify Him.

Will we deny His truth and decide to do what we think or feel is right? Or will we choose Jesus, His truth, His way, and His love?

But there is no time to wait. It will be too late. Those that delay and deny His offer of salvation will have torment and punishment for eternity.

When we stand before our Lord and give an account for what we have done with what we have been given, what will we say?

He came to seek and save the lost. He brought a warning to those that deny Him of what was to come if they didn’t believe.

There is a beautiful land waiting for those that believe in Jesus Christ and follow Him, trusting in His work of salvation. It’s hard to imagine now, but there is great joy ahead.

Are you willing to allow Christ to use you for His will, to further His kingdom?

Who do you say that Jesus is? This is the only thing that truly matters. Do you recognize Him as your Father?

The darkness, no matter how hard it tries, can never cover the light.

What are you trusting in today? Is it Jesus?

Today might be a good day to stop and examine our lives. We may claim to know Christ, but is there fruit in our lives, evidence of His redemptive work?

Hearts that are quick to thank and praise God get God’s attention in a big, miraculous way!

This morning, stop, and talk with Him. Tell Him of the burdens you carry and what you desperately want. And then trust in Him to deliver.

Lord, less of me and more of you.

The hope we have in Jesus Christ is something that many don’t understand.

None of us deserve what God has done for us. We ALL deserve His wrath.

And this is God’s will…

How often does God pull us from the darkness, revealing His beautiful plan and light to us, and yet we find ourselves back there again? How quickly we forget.

Anticipate “in your face” battles, not merely “let’s pretend” childish scrimmages. Be ready. From pretend pirates to skilled swordsmen, let’s suit up and execute His battle plans while holding fast to the victorious finish He has already secured.

What needs to be removed in your life to keep your eyes fixed on Christ? What tempts you? What leads you to sin?

Far too often, I pick up the burdens I’ve promised to give over to the Lord because I think I can do this. I can fix this. I can make it better. But all of my efforts are poor attempts compared to His righteous and perfect plan.

Put down the phone. Close your laptop. Be present in the life you have been given. Take joy today in the time the Lord has blessed you with!

My impatient and anxious heart can get the best of me, how about you? Lord, we know You have great things in store for us. Help us to learn to trust You, Lord!

Are we really true followers of Christ? Is there complete and total commitment? Have you surrendered your life to Him? Take up thy cross and follow.
