Ambassador

 



What exactly do you think of when you hear word ambassador? For me I think of an ambassador in a country who would represent  the United States but if you are a follower of Jesus Christ you are representing Him and the kingdom of God. 

This land is not your home if you have said yes to Jesus. You are  temporary resident. 

Your work is an ambassador for the kingdom of God. 

PRAYER: Today Lord is me in the lives of those I encounter. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Nobody Is Really Excited About Getting Old


 “They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,” Psalm 92:14

 

Elderly people are shown to be nimble, sickly, needing 24/7 help and so forth. Sure some folks over 65 have issues but the way our culture looks at older members of society is pathetic. Everything is focused on eternal youth that seemingly never fades. What happened to honor and respect? 

Wouldn’t it be cool if advertisers started using older people in ads without them looking like buffoons? Aging is not a curse but should be something of a joy as well but when the culture pigeon holes elderly directing them into senior living to live out the golden years there is way more to life than that. 

Yes as you get old your body may break down if you have not taken care of it or sometimes things just happen and maybe you need care but don’t beat yourself up cause you have wrinkles and spots as it is all part of a new season of life. Younger people out there learn from your elders and be kind and respectful to them as you never know when they won’t have another tomorrow. 

PRAYER: Father help me accept and embrace each stage of life. Forgive me for complaining. Help me lean in to where I am in life and stop looking in mirror. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Be The Bigger Person-Take The High Road



 "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21

It can be easy to complain, judge, argue and so forth but as a dear friend of mine says years ago “take the high road” as it is easy to get into conflict over the dumbest things that don’t really matter. 

Are you in a dispute right now with someone or an issue has been hanging over your head seemingly for years and it is time to say “enough is enough” and move on get healing and restoration? Then make it happen through your prayers. 

It is not fun to have distance in relationships that should be close for whatever reason but God is a God of healing, redemption, and restoration. Pray and let Him work. 

PRAYER: My heart aches Lord when I am in conflict that shouldn’t be happening. Only you can change people and turn things around. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

 "Let your yes be yes, and your no, no; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." Matthew 5:37

Once again I am inspired by a vehicle tag and so here goes. What does it mean to be true? To be honest for one. 

God’s truth is absolute and unchanging although nay sayers, atheists, and doubters call believers naive. It takes faith to believe without seeing but you love God and you look forward to eternity in Heaven so God’s standard is walking and living in truth not according to the ‘world’s idea of truth’ which is skewed and run by the prince of the power of the air Satan. 

My heart aches for those who can’t embrace God and His truths. Is says in scripture to hate evil not to hate evildoers but to pray for the lost, misled, and confused. 

PRAYER: My heart is broken for those people who don’t understand God’s truth and many don’t care to. Prayers go out to have anyone who needs their stopped up ears cleared in order to hear God’s voice either for first time or again. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

"For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light." Ephesians 5:8

Now this is a vanity tag that I was curious what kind of a life the driver of the vehicle led. Was thinking of Hollywood movies depicting the dark side and they are not necessarily good. 

There is dark and there is light. There is evil and there is good. There is wrong and there is right. There are lies and deception and then there is truth. 

Which side of life do you identify with? Do you live for Jesus in your day to day actions? Notice I didn’t ask “do you go to church” but are you a follower of Christ in or out of church. Do you lead a life worthy of Him. Pray for anyone you know who may be caught up in the dark side of life thinking it is fun when ultimately it leads to loneliness and separation from the Almighty. 

PRAYER:Father help me recognize the light from the darkness the truth from lies. Guard my heart and the heart of those in my family I love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Coincidences Are God’s Will Remaining Anonymous



"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight". Proverbs 3:5-6

Strange title I know and not necessarily Biblically sound but the idea of a screen and script  writer in the movie ‘The Secret Dare To Dream’ in which actor Josh Lucas character utters this phrase and it made me think. You think something’s just happen out of the blue but indeed maybe they are God’s will remaining anonymous. Hmmm. 

I myself don’t think there are coincidences but things happen for a reason the key is to submit to God and stay under His protective umbrella. Sometimes you may want to strike out on your own without praying first. Try to resist the impulse to do that. 

Act in a way always pleasing to the Lord in all you say and do as if he was right beside you. Trust Him with the details of your life and let Him have the steering wheel. 

PRAYER: I need you Lord. I pray you will keep me grounded and stable on the right path and steer me away from danger. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.John 14:1


I just love vanity tags and the title today is one I saw recently here in Idaho which translates to ‘believe in Him’ meaning Jesus. 

Do you believe in the Father, the Son(Jesus) and The Holy Spirit, three in one? God the Father gave us His only son Jesus and the Holy Spirit lives inside all who believe convicting of right and wrong. 

If you are far from God or perhaps have had bad church or faith experiences don’t quit but keep seeking God and you will find Him. You are living in a world that tries to make its’ own rules editing the truth to confuse you. Stand firm grab a Bible and read the book of John. Ask God to open your mind and heart to His truth. 

PRAYER: I need you Father and I choose to believe in God the Father and pray for any people who may be struggling with their relationship with God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
