Waiting On A Sign From God

 

For those of you waiting on a sign from God, has it occurred to you that God may be waiting on a sign from you?

Two overwhelming themes in the Bible are 1) Have Faith, and 2) Take Action.

Consider that while you’re ‘waiting on God,’ He very likely is doing the same with you.

HFTA! Have Faith, & Take Action.

God says in Proverbs that even with all our dreams and plans, He directs our steps. Take Action! Let Him lead you, and He will. But take action. HFTA!

And may the Lord bless you all throughout your journey.  

A Prayer for Today

Thank You, Father, for being the one, true, Almighty God. Please, protect us as we go forth -- but help us to live adventurously. In Jesus’ name we ask for your blessings and guidance, Lord. Amen.

He's Talking About You

 

Paul was sent by Jesus to share god's offer of His son to us -- the outsiders, the pagans, the non-Jews. What Jesus Said to Paul was this, straight out of the Bible:

 

"I'm sending you off to open the eyes of the outsiders so they can see the difference between dark and light, and choose light, see the difference between Satan and God, and choose God. I’m sending you off to present my offer of sins forgiven, and a place in the family, inviting them into the company of those who begin real living by believing in me."

(Acts 26:17-18)(MSG)

 

Prayer for Today

Thank You, Father, for your son, Jesus Christ the Risen Messiah. Please, open the eyes of my heart. Do not let me lead myself any longer. Give me your Spirit, Lord. I open myself to you now, the best I know how. I want you. Please, make me yours and lead me down your narrow path. In Jesus name I ask this. Amen.

In Every Situation? Yes.

 

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Philippians 4:6-7) ♥♥♥

 

Prayer for Today

Thank You, Father, for so much guidance and love given us in regards to fighting off the enemy, & tricks such as fear, anxiety, and worry. Thank you for loving us unconditionally, though with accountability and discipline to help us grow and strengthen. Thank you for your peace, Jesus. Please guide us & grow us, and give us discernment so that we see more of you in everything, and fall prey to the world's tricks less often. Amen.

Straight Outta the Bible:
   What Does It Mean to "Fear the Lord?"

 

"The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech..."
(Proverbs 8:13)

 

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight."
(Proverbs 9:10)

 

Prayer for Today

Lord, thank you for your clarity. Thank you for showing us in your word, what it means to ‘fear’ you, the Almighty God, our Father, and most loving, forgiving God we only dream of being like. Thank you for giving us an example to model ourselves after. Thank you for such a beautiful, wondrous thing as unconditional love. We, as a people, are conditional. Thank you for showing us what true love is, and what it means to ‘fear’ a loving God. Please, Lord, grab hold of all who read this. Lift them up, protect them, and make them yours. Open up the eyes of their hearts, Father. Please, give them your Spirit, and hand every one to Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Straight Outta the Bible:
   And the Lame I Will Make the Remnant

 

"In that day, declares the Lord,
I will assemble the lame
and gather those who have been driven away
and those whom I have afflicted;
and the lame I will make the remnant,
and those who were cast off, a strong nation;
and the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion
from this time forth and forevermore."

(Micah 4:6-7)

Straight Outta the Bible:
   From All Nations & All Times

 

The Book of Revelation, chapter 1, verses 4-7 say:

 

"...All the best to you from The God Who Is, The God Who Was, and The God About to Arrive, and from the Seven Spirits assembled before his throne, and from Jesus Christ—Loyal Witness, Firstborn from the dead, Ruler of all earthly kings.
Glory and strength to Christ, who loves us,
who blood-washed our sins from our lives,
Who made us a Kingdom, Priests for his Father,
forever—and yes, he’s on his way!
Riding the clouds, he’ll be seen by every eye,
those who mocked and killed him will see him,
People from all nations and all times
will tear their clothes in lament.
Oh, Yes."

(Rev 1:4-7)(MSG)
