We MUST be Kept by His Word

His Word will KEEP you from day to day!

It is so very important that we stay in The Word of God daily as it is extremely easy to convince ourselves that we are "alright", yet we tend to justify our lifestyles and our life choices based upon comparisons of others...and in doing so we are actually wrongfully judging others based on some criteria that we've concocted in our own minds; therefore making it absolutely impossible to live up to.

The Word of God does 3 things when we receive it's instruction for our lives. (1) The Word of God will CONVICT us of the sin that we are ignoring or refuse to address, (2) The Word of God will CONVERT our sinful ways into a life of prayer and commitment in striving to live a life of righteousness in Christ Jesus and lastly, (3) The Word of God COMFORTS us and provides us a way out of our turmoil, confusion and brings us into a right relationship with The Almighty God,

You see, our heart wants what it wants and will desire that very thing that consumes our thoughts and our actions. If you don't believe that your heart is capable of yearning for unhealthy liaisons and life debilitating things, then just talk to an addict...they are very convincing as to why they feel that there is no other options available to them accept that "thing" that their heart desires.

Read, listen and receive the Word of God today..."For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12 Amplified)

This Present Will Be Greater Than the Former

Trust God for Greater!

The Lord admonished His people for neglecting His promised dwelling place, The Temple, and then encouraged them to start on the reconstruction of the same. He told them not to be so concerned with its present condition as it had been utterly destroyed and laid in ruin. However, He told them to do the work and the end result would be GREATER than what formally was built!

The same holds true for you and I in this life. The world with all of the sin contained therein, has wreaked havoc on our earthly bodies, which is the habitation of The Lord for those of us who are Saved. God tells us in His Word that when we stop being so consumed with this world and stop being so consumed with self and begin to rebuild His Temple, which is our very heart, THEN WHAT WILL BE, SHALL BE GREATER than what was destroyed and laid to ruin by this world!

Knowing that The Lord Almighty dwells in me is a very good reason all by itself to be thankful. Knowing that each scripture; each prayer; and each meditative moment on His love for me is added reasons to praise my way beyond the state of thankfulness, but it even takes me deeper to a place to where I know what it means to be Grateful.

Here is what The Lord says to those who will do the work of restoring His dwelling place (restoration of your heart):

‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” (Haggai 2:9)

Be Greater than you've ever been and continue to grow Greater in Him every day!
