Moving Day

“Sing to the Lord a new song!” Psalm 98:1

Why is it that we love new, but we hate change? We love a new car, new apartment, new house, new clothes, new phone, new (fill in the blank), and yet we loath change. Isn’t new, by definition, change? Sometime,

We Just Need To Change Our Perspective

I think David knew this when he wrote Psalm 98, in which he said, “Sing to the Lord a new song”. Sometimes our prayer life can be a bit of a broken record. Same requests, same opening line, same closing line, and so forth. How long would your relationship with a loved one last if you said the exact same thing to them every single day. Mix it up a little! Perhaps pack away your old cliche’s and find some new ways to Praise God, for He is worthy. You’ll be amazed how your attitude toward prayer changes, and a new closeness you feel with your Lord.

Believe

“I do believe. Help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:24

Jesus meets a man whose son has a tragic sickness. The man says to Jesus, “if you can, help my son.” Jesus responds,

“Everything Is Possible For One Who Believes”

The man then responds, “I do believe. Help me overcome my unbelief.” How many times do be miss out on incredible blessings in life simply because we walk around with a timid faith, or we believe in a timid God. If you lack faith in your life, ask for more. Jesus has an endless supply just waiting for those who ask Him.

Overcome Fear

“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

If there is one concept that we need to grasp in scripture it is that we need to literally

Wage War Against Fear

An Angel approached Mary and said, “Do not be afraid”. Jesus said over and over again, “Do not worry” and “Do not be afraid”. And Today, Timothy reminds us that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.” You will win this war against fear when you surrender your fears to God. You will be amazed at how He responds with a peace that can only come from Him.

The Mud Puddle

“All things work together for good for those who love God…” Romans 8:28

The above photo is no ordinary mud puddle. For as I walked by this morning there was a very young boy, perhaps no more than a year and a half old, crouched studiously over these muddy waters. What was so interesting to me was the fact that a large playground filled with slides and swings and monkey bars was only a few steps away. Yet those playground toys held no interest for this toddler. He was focused, and fixated, on the mud. He was absolutely convinced that,

Something Wonderful Is Waiting In the Mud

In the book of Romans, Paul writes that “All things work together for good for those who love God”. That means lurking in the messy and muddy bits of our lives God will pull together a wonderful plan that brings forth blessings you never thought possible. Take heart today, and understand that indeed something wonderful is waiting for you in your mud puddle.

I’m Listening

“Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you,” Jeremiah 29:12

God is so near to every person on this planet, quietly waiting in the stillness to be invited to draw near and fill every single empty void in your life.

We Are Never Alone

In Jeremiah 29 God makes a promise that if we call on him He will listen. Amazing things are about to happen for you when you pick up that phone called prayer, and call on the Lord.

Sing!

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.” Psalm 89:1

Sometimes you have to block out all the distractions and just focus on the Lord in worship. King David, the author of the Psalms knew this. He only knew only one way to praise God, and that was with everything he had.

God Is Always Faithful.

One thing I have learned in my faith journey is that it’s impossible to praise God without Him drawing close to you. Learn this lesson for yourself today. Start singing!

Lift Your Eyes!

I will lift up my eyes to the hills, From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121

I grew up in Colorado near the majestic Rocky Mountains. There was not a day that I did not look up and to the West just to see the peaks rising on the horizon. With such a backdrop I learned that there wasn’t much a view in looking down. Down revealed mostly my dirty shoes and cracks in the sidewalks. Looking down I saw problems.

Looking Up Is Where The Action Is

You may find yourself spending too much time in life looking down. Looking up means dreaming something new, seeing the splendor around you, or finding hope in a hopeless situation. Looking up means looking into the face of God, for that is where your help comes from. Yesterday’s post talked about God being our endless supply. Look up, it’s time to realize your help comes from the Lord.

Endless Supply

/ James Penner / 1 Comment

“For I am God, your God….I own the cattle on a thousand hills.” Psalm 50

Much has been written of the world-wide supply chain. It’s interesting to note that of all we make, homes, cars, clothes, computers, it all comes from this one home God gave to us called earth. Nothing is shipped over from Jupiter or Mars. Everything we have comes via “recycling” raw materials which God has already provided. It all belongs to God, and yet He shares freely with us by saying over and over again,

“I Am Your Supply”

With a simple two minute search I found over 40 bible verses where God says, He is our supply. None more powerful than Deuteronomy 28, in which God provides a very long laundry list of blessings He is prepared to supply to those who love Him. God literally says He will, “Open the heavens, and the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land, and bless the work of your hands.” Look to God, and be prepared for rain.

Grace

/ James Penner / Leave a comment

God said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

Tom Hanks character in the film, “You’ve Got Mail” admits to Meg Ryan a flaw in his character that he laments. He has a penchant for verbal insults, and admits it to her by saying, “Do you ever feel you’ve become the worst version of yourself? That a Pandora’s box of all the secret, hateful parts – your arrogance, your spite, your condescension – has sprung open? Someone upsets you and instead of smiling and moving on, you zing them. “Hello, it’s Mr Nasty.”

We All Need A Little Grace

Indeed we all have flaws. Yet, I’ve learned the wonderful thing about God’s grace is His endless forgiveness. God forgives freely when we ask, and then asks us to do the same, both forgiving ourselves and each other. Give yourself some grace today, and then freely spread it around to those around you.

Mountain Moving Faith

Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in prayer, believe you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24

In this one sentence Jesus sets forth a monumental concept that makes the impossible possible. It’s an easy verse to look past for surely there must be some kind of qualifier or disclaimer to this statement. Whatever I ask in prayer, all I have to do it believe, and I will receive it? The simple answer is, Yes!

Mountain Moving Requires Faith

In the past few decades I have witnessed more impossible miracles that I have prayed for come to pass than I could possibly list on multiple pairs of hands. In every instance, I believed without a doubt that they would come to pass and they did. There are others that I have prayed over, some for more than a decade, that have not yet come to pass, but they will. I know for sure, without a single doubt, they will. I’m no different than you, I’ve just chosen to take Jesus at his word. I’ve not given myself the luxury to pick and choose which ones of Jesus promises to believe, and which ones not to believe. The Bible tells us that our job is to have faith, His job is to fulfill His word. Live this out in your own life and you will soon find yourself in possession of Mountain Moving Faith.
