See yourself as valuable (2) "You are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you." Isa 43:4 NLT If you want to be a 10 but your self-esteem is a 5, you will never achieve at the level of a 10. You will achieve a 5 or lower. Why? Because you cannot surpass the image you have of yourself. Low self-esteem puts a cap on your potential. So where do…

See yourself as valuable (1) "I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency." Php 4:13 AMPC When God made the first man, He saw that his creation was "very good." That means every person that has ever been born, including you, has seeds of success within them. All you need to do is water them and feed them, and they will grow. So why do many people …

Intimacy, dependency, obedience (2). "The Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing." Jn 5:19 NIV The second thing that defines Jesus' relationship with His Father is this: Dependency. Corrie ten Boom used to say, "I am just the glove, Jesus is the hand that fills it and works through it." That's a picture of Chris…

Intimacy, dependency, obedience (1). "For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does."

"Lord, teach us to pray." Lk 11:1 NKJ Demonstrating an uncommon level of honesty, a well-known pastor says: "Prayer is the biggest struggle I have... It's difficult to maintain a consistent prayer life, and especially difficult to sustain the conviction that it does any good at times." Prayer doesn't come naturally for the majority of us. We know i…

DEC. 3, 2024 Faithfulness. "Well done, good and faithful servant." Mt 25:23 NKJV Jesus begins the parable of the talents with these words: "For the kingdom of heaven is like" (v. 14 NKJV).

Understanding righteousness. "But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed." Ro 3:21 NKJV You will go to heaven because you trusted in Christ's righteousness, not your own. You say, "But isn't doing the right things important?" Absolutely. Your reward in heaven will be predicated upon what you do for God here on earth. But your s…

"Our sufficiency is from God." 2Co 3:5 NKJV Gideon's army of thirty-two thousand men is enormously outnumbered by the Midianites when God tells him, "You have too many men." He instructs Gideon to release anyone who is afraid, and Gideon loses two-thirds of his army. Now he has only ten thousand men. Again the Lord says, "There are still too many m…

"By his divine power, God has given us everything we need." 2Pe 1:3 NLT Following God means finishing what He has called you to do. Not everyone who starts out well finishes well. Occasionally we're shocked and saddened to learn that a leader has been brought down by a moral or a financial problem. Paul writes, "Luke, the beloved physician, and Dem…

There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors." 1Jn 4:18 AMPO When you were young and said a bad word, your parents may have threatened to wash your mouth out with soap. Well, if fear is a dirty word, then faith in God's unconditional love for you is like soap! Too many put the cart…

"Put me together again with your Word." Ps 119:107 MSG When everything in the psalmist's life began falling apart, he prayed, "Put me together again with your Word." That's what your quiet time with God does. So, why don't we have a consistent quiet time with God? Two reasons: (1) We think our quiet time must be a long time. Start small. Reserve fi…

"This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses." Heb 4:15 NLT One of Satan's most successful strategies for keeping us away from our quiet time with God is reminding us of our sins and shortcomings. That's a lie; don't believe it. In the Old Testament, the High Priest went into the Holiest of Holies to atone for the sins of the people. When h…

"You're my place of quiet retreat; I wait for your Word to renew me." Ps 119:114 MSG What's stopping you from having a regular quiet time with God? Maybe the very thought feels filled with "shoulds" and "ought tos"; like another item to add to the unending checklist of your life. So, you think, "Maybe later, when life slows down." We need to shed t…
