Seek First
Scripture “All night long I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek for God…” (Isaiah 26:9, NLT) Word Jesus said in Matthew 6, “Seek first the kingdom of God.” That word “seek” is a strong word. One definition is “to require as a vital necessity.” You have to see spending time with God […]

Who God Rewards
Scripture “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6, NIV) Word Do you see God as a rewarder today? Notice this verse doesn’t say that God rewards those who “deserve” it, or […]
Abiding in Him
Scripture “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5, NIV) Word Jesus said, “If you abide in Me, you will bear much fruit.” One translation says, “If you will depend on Me.” […]
Strength in Dependency
Scripture “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9, ESV) Word We all have areas where we need to come […]
It’s Coming
Scripture “…Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come…” (Habakkuk 2:3, NKJV) Word If you will keep God first in everything you do, He promises that He is going to crown your efforts with success. Because you diligently seek Him, a reward is coming. Favor is coming. Good breaks are coming. Promotion […]
God’s Book of Remembrance
Scripture “Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.” (Malachi 3:16, NIV) Word Do you ever keep special cards or emails from loved ones? People do this because […]
When You Pray
Scripture “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.” (Mark 11:25, NKJV) Word Many times, people wonder why their prayers aren’t answered. They feel distant from God but can’t explain why. They love God and try to do all […]
Take a Drink
Scripture “But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:14, NKJV) Word In the natural, every day, we get thirsty. Water is what we need to sustain […]
Getting Quiet
Scripture “Be still, and know that I am God…” (Psalm 46:10, NKJV) Word So many people today find themselves caught up in the day-to-day busyness of life, driven to do more in less time. It seems people constantly strive to find ways to cram more into their already overcrowded schedules. But at the same time, […]
Without Him
Scripture “…apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5, NIV) Word Jesus put it this way, “Without Me, you can do nothing.” In this passage, He talks about a vine and branches. Just like a vine will die if it is cut apart from the vine, we also won’t survive without being vitally connected […]
Pray Without Ceasing
Scripture “Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17, NKJV) Word What does it mean to pray without ceasing? That doesn’t mean for 24 hours a day we should get on our knees and never do anything else, never go to work. I believe this scripture is talking about an attitude. All throughout the day, under our […]
