Daily Devotional: 3/29/2018

“The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”” 1 Kings‬ ‭19:11-13‬

God sometimes talks to us in a whisper to bring us closer to him, literally bring us closer. Think about it, we have to lean into a whisper in order to hear it. Sometimes we are listening for a loud voice, we are listening and looking for something to big to happen. We are under the perception that since God is a great big ultimate God, every thing he does is big. In a sense it is, but God can be subtle and not everything he does and will do will be followed with red flags and a loud bang. Sometimes the quietest of sounds are the loudest. God sometimes comes to us in a whisper in order for us to be brought closer to him. We have to quiet our outside surroundings in order to hear a whisper. We have to quiet our minds. We have to focus. We have to be able to have our ears open and eager and intently listen. So just because God is not yelling in your life or in your ear does not mean he is not there. He could be changing things subtly in your life. He could be whispering in your ear. He could be doing all this right now. So do not look for something big today, look and listen for the quiet. Block everything out and be focused on what God can be doing. Listen for the whisper and get close to God.

Lord, I pray that you are with us opening our minds and our hearts. Allow us to hear your whisper. Allow it to bring us close to you. Both figuratively and literally. Bring us in close and whisper in our ears. Allow us to grow in you and be with you. Quiet the outside noise. Quiet our doubts. Quiet our minds. Allow us to hear and focus on your soothing and calming voice.

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in your lives in him, rooted and built up in him strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6-7. We have to be able to let our roots grow. Jesus taught us several times that we have to have a strong foundation (Mt. 7:24-27) and strong roots (Mt. 13:1-23). Jesus is not a one time thing, we cannot go “I believe He is my Lord and Savior” and just walk away. That is not what we are called to do. We are called to be disciples and to preach the Word of God. We are called to love everyone like Jesus did. Jesus did not care who you were or what your past was, he accepted everyone because we are all made in the image of God. We all are natural born sinners, but Jesus died in order for our sins to be forgiven. God’s arm is not too short to save anyone (Isa. 59:1), He has the ability to save everyone. There are people out there with roots, but they are short and weak. They c

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33. This world is a dark place, I said it before and this will not be the last time I put it in a devotional. It is, it was no God’s intentions when he created us and created this world that darkness will take over. But just like everything else God uses it for his advantage. He allows all the bad things that happen in this world and to us to show us his power. He uses it to bring us closer to him. He uses it to show he has something better for us not only not only on this earth, but in heaven. No matter what happens on this earth whether you are the richest person, whether you are the poorest person, if you are the happiest to the saddest, there is nothing compared to the treasures and everything we get in heaven. One of the things God did to show us that he is taking advantage of this dark world for his and our benefit was sending

Daily Devotional: 7/27/2018 - DIFFERENCE MAKER PT. II

"And he climbs on up the hill; On the rock on which he stands; He looks back at the crowd; And he looks down at his hands and he says; I am a difference maker." NEEDTOBREATHE - "Difference Maker" (Pre-Chorus) This is a "science fiction" short story based on my life. A story and mission of a difference maker. Yeah, isn't it amazing how a man can find himself alone? Call into the darkness for an answer that's he ever known; Yeah, isn't it amazing how a God can take a broken man; Yeah let him find a fortune, let him ruin it with his own two hands ? Leaves dance on the trees, fog rises from the distance mountains as the rain cooled the hot summer ground, the porch swing creaks. The wind whispers secrets in my ears. There are over seven billion people in the world and there is not one to be found, it is just my thoughts and me. I can do this all on my own, I do not need anyone. The more people there are the more problems there are f
