Here is a key to apply that has helped me so much in my daily walk, and will assist you in the process of turning to Jesus each day. Hallelujah!
This truth helps me keep my life in proper perspective.
I pray these simple but powerful truths touch your tender heart. Hallelujah!
We need to remind ourselves of certain truths each day.
Personally I have a tendency to forget the truths of God. Sometimes they just seem to get wrapped up in the circumstances of life.
The primary reason we were put on this earth as human beings was to glorify God and to give Him thanks. The Bible tells us this again and again.
Psalm 107:1 says, “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”
Colossians 3:17 says, “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
Hebrews 13:15 says, “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.”
Yes, praise and worship can sometimes be a sacrifice because we don’t want to do it. And that might be because we are depressed or down or things aren’t going that well.
It may be that hardship or tragedy has befallen us, and we don’t feel like praising God. But the Bible does not say give thanks to the Lord because you feel good. Rather, it says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!” We need to put things into Biblical perspective in order to see and experience our lives through ABBA’s eyes.
Hallelujah! I want to see myself the way Abba, my Heavenly Father sees me.
I want my life’s goal, my ambition, regardless of where I am or how I feel, to be pleasing to Him.
”Therefore, whether we are at home [on earth] or away from home [and with Him], it is our [constant] ambition to be pleasing to Him.“ - 2 Corinthians 5:9 AMP
Hallelujah!
I accomplish all this by faith. By choosing to believe, each day, that the finished work of Jesus’s cross and His resurrection are enough to meet every challenge in my life. I am not called to understand I am only called to believe.
*The moment I see Jesus, instantly He calms and colors everything I see. Hallelujah!
