Waiting on The Lord

Too many people miss out on their destiny and blessings simply because they get tired of waiting.  They say, “I’ve been waiting and waiting and nothing is happening” or “I’m not waiting anymore, I’m tired of it; I’m gonna do it on my own!” How can you possibly be mad at and blame God, when you’re the one who chose to take matters into your own hands? He is a GOOD Daddy; He sees all, He knows when you are ready for certain things in your life, He knows when you can handle certain blessings, and only He knows the dangers you’ll face that you aren’t aware of. We want things and we want them now, but He knows we would hurt ourselves if we had it now; and we often times wouldn’t even enjoy what he gave us because there are things going on in our hearts that would prevent us from doing so.

You Thought He Came to Bring Peace?

In a magazine with the feature story entitled "Christianity: Good or Bad for America?", one of the debaters (a non-believer) posed the question "If Jesus came to bring peace, why are there people killing people?" Ultimately, we know that Jesus is peace, but He is very clear that what He came to do was stir things up!

Greedy is Greedy

Many people say they don’t want a lot of money because there's too big of a temptation to become greedy. Not-so-good news flash, if you’re greedy, you’re greedy; and greed is there whether you have millions sitting in your checking account or only $20 to your name. But rest assured if your trust is in your money, that truth that's in your heart will often times only be more revealed, the more you have. 

Your Father is Not a Task Master

Have you seen God as a dictator; some supreme being that bosses us around like a drill sergeant; bringing down His gavel of punishment when we don't comply? I knew God loved me and I knew my sins were forgiven, yet I lived in an unhealthy fear of Him; afraid He would reprimand me, afraid to make a wrong decision, and afraid to do anything at all for fear he would withhold blessings. I saw Him as my master, not a good Daddy.
