Daily Thought for July 26

We all want to accomplish something significant with our lives. And we have the potential to do something great. That's because we are the Lord's and His Spirit dwells in us. Because of His greatness in us, He can accomplish great things through us. When you know you are the Lord's and you trust where He is taking you, you feel very secure.

Daily Thought for July 23

Predestination means your destination has already been determined. The Bible says we are predestined according to God's purposes and will (Ephesians 1:11). That means God know where you are supposed to be going. And He knows how to get you there.

The problem in that all too often we don't want to listen to God, and we end up taking detours! Our current culture teaches that we are to look out for number one, ourselves and only we can tell what is right for us...but are we really and truely happy in that world? If we would only listen to God and let Him lead us where we need to be going, we would find more fullfilment in our lives than we thought possible.

Lord, I thank You that You have called me with a holy calling, and I have a purpose because you have a plan for my life. I know that Your plan for me existed before I knew You, and You will bring it to pass.

Daily Thought for July 21

God wants you to have a clear vision for your life. He wants to reveal to you what your gifts and talents are and show you how to best develop them and use them for His glory.

Daily Thought - July 11

Holiness means living in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Pray that God will help you to live in the Spirit and not the flesh.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
-Romans 8:5

How true is this of those of us struggling with our weight? I know that when I focus on my faith and God and start my days with prayer, I feel better about myself and I don't crave the comfort of food the way I do on the days that I don't start with God.
You'd think that it would be easy to remember that and to make sureto start everyday with God, but it isn't. I'm human, and in that respect sinful, and I would rather sleep the extra 30 minutes than get up early and spend the time with God. I'm not alone! There are many of you out there that do the same thing.
Now the question....are you ready to change? I know that I am! I can't continue this way, because it hurts too much! I hate myself and the way I look, but there is no magic pill out there, it will take hard work and I have to do it for myself and my family!

Daily Thought for July 6

Being holy is not being perfect. It's letting HIM who is holy be in you. We can't be holy on our own, but we can make choices that allow holiness and purity to be manifested in our lives.
