It’s Time
It all begins with an idea.
Titus 3:5 ESV, “He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.”
Blessings friends! Here you are again. We have been given this day to pronounce, “It’s Time.”
Today is the next day but always a time to be what God has called you to be. You have let time be your downfall. You have let moments pass without grasping for the short straw! It is time for us to bring forth the inner being that God created inside each one of us. No more dwelling on things gone by. No more using excuses to block time you need to regroup and recharge. The past can bring you down if you dwell on the “what ifs”, or anything that seems to have been a wrong choice.
God knows the past, He knows your present and He knows your future. Make the time to follow through on removing all the negative things in your life that block your joy. It’s time to open up the positive thoughts and bring forth new beginnings, new ideas, new life! “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8 (NIV) As in every new day, there is a chance to make things positive! It’s Time! (Read: Ps 111:10, Rev 21:6-7)

Precious Father, I come to you now thanking you for allowing another day. I am asking for you to fill me with your presence and go with me into this day. Grant me Lord the ability to follow through on letting the positive overtake the negative. Please Lord help me to be what you have called me to be and let your strength be my guide to achieve all that you have in store for me.
Amen.
Are you Empty?
It all begins with an idea.
Jeremiah 17:7, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.”
Are you empty? Do you feel there is a void inside? Have you allowed something or someone to hinder your fullness? Before we can fill up we have to be emptied of self, of pride, of negativity. When we use the gifts and the advantages God gives us to further His work while doing our own, our accomplishments grow. Noah built a boat, but he was no longer empty. David trusted that God would use those stones.
Faith filled him with courage! The woman at the well was filled with living water! The stories are endless! Think of your potential, think in terms of your spiritual depth. Sometimes our sense of spiritual realities can be strong and vibrant; but then at other moments, our hearts feel like lead weights and we find ourselves longing for God to dwell inside our souls again; but in reality, He never leaves. It is quite another thing to recognize that we; apart from God’s grace and His mercy, are hopelessly lost in our sins and spiritual debt.
Though man has nothing to offer God that will equal, earn, or merit God’s righteousness; He still offers to fill us with His presence. No greater hope, peace, grace, or love can fill you like God can. Your inner self will need to open up to what God has in store for filling your emptiness.
Let’s find the inner peace and allow God to fill you up. (Read: Psalm 107: 1-9, Ephesians 3:19)

Father, I come to you asking for your “filling up”! Lord grant me the strength to push out the negative by placing you in control. Thank you for allowing this day and the opportunity to be filled with your grace, mercy, peace and hope; but mostly your unfailing love! Go with me now into the day letting others see Jesus in me!
Amen.
