"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:13 NIV
Did you ever play hide and seek and give up looking for the other person? Then come to find out, they were right there all along, you just didn't look hard enough.
God wants us to look for Him with our whole heart. He wants us to pursue Him, not just take a quick look and then give up.
Just like any relationship, one with God requires work. Take the time to seek out your Heavenly Father and Be Blessed!

Shepherd’s voice…
"My own sheep will hear my voice and I know each one, and they will follow me. I give to them the gift of eternal life and they will never be lost and no one has the power to snatch them out of my hands."
John 10:27-28 TPT
Do you hear God's voice in your life? Calling you, leading you like a shepherd leads His sheep.
If you are a child of God, then listen for His voice, follow His direction. If you do, then He promises to protect you from the enemy. To keep you out of harms way and to guide your path.
Look to the shepherd, follow His voice and Be Blessed!

Your value…
"What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won't he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us."
Romans 8:31-35, 37 NLT
"Your value does not increase or decrease based on what others might say or think about you. Your value comes from the ingredients God used to make and save you." -Wild Life: Start really living.
Know that your value and worth is in God and given to you by Him! No one else can give it or take it away! Know that victory is through Christ and Be Blessed!

God’s love…
"Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure."
Ephesians 1:4-5 NLT
It is hard to imagine, in this world, that you don't have to please someone to be loved. We all want acceptance and love.
But God loved you "before he made the world"! You didn't have to do a thing to get His love. He loved you before you even existed!
God chose you! He gave His son, for you! He has loved you since the beginning of time!!
There is nothing you can do to make Him not love you and nothing that you can do to make Him love you more.
So take a moment to thank God for His love and Be Blessed!

1 Samuel 17:48 NLT
Why would young David, a young shepherd boy of maybe 12-14 years old, run into battle to meet a giant, seasoned warrior? Did he not realize that the odds would be against him?

Psalms 18:34-35 NLT
David praised God for giving him everything he needed to defeat his enemies. David knew, that without God's help, victory was impossible!
We can go through this life on our own and try to win, or we can use the help the Heavenly Father has given us to win the battle. God is always there, offering His right hand. All you have to do is ask!
The battle is long and the war is not over! Reach out and take His hand, be victorious with His help and Be Blessed!

Praise the Lord…
"The godly will rejoice in the Lord and find shelter in him. And those who do what is right will praise him."
Psalms 64:10 NLT
Do you ever just take time to bask in the Lord's prescience? Put your headphones on and praise Him to the top of your lungs in the back yard.
Know that a little praise time is essential. God deserves our praise, not only for what He has done but for who He is!
So crank up some praise and worship, make the neighbors think you have lost your mind. Sing to the top of your lungs and dance like no one is watching! Praise the Lord and Be Blessed!

He knows…
"O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!"
Psalms 139:1, 5-6 NLT
Isn't it wonderful to have a God that knows you so intimately! It's also a little scary, to think that He knows what is inside your heart and all your thoughts.
We tend to think we can hide parts of our life from God. Those secrets that we don't tell anyone about. But our God knows those things and He still loves us beyond measure. He wants to help you overcome those hidden sins.
He wants to place His hand of blessing on your head. So stop trying to hide from God, it's not possible. Confess to Him, ask His forgiveness, take His help and Be Blessed!

God spoke…
"Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light."
Genesis 1:3 NLT
How many times have we read the creation story and skimmed over this detail? God spoke and all creation began!
He didn't wave a magic wand or conger up some spell. He spoke! Our God is so mighty that neutrons and electrons and the very molecules that make up our existence bow to His mere words!
Now of our God's mere words and speak the universe into being, don't you think he can solve whatever problem your holding on to?
Let God take control, read His words, they can be life altering and Be Blessed!

Lord, rescue me…

Psalms 55:1-2, 16 NLT
David's cry to God in Psalms 55 is a plea for help. He is running from His enemies. But in verse 16, he knows the Lord will rescue him.
When we cry for help, do we run or do we trust that the Lord will rescue us? It's hard to have enough faith that God will save us. But we must rest assure in our God.
Call upon His name, whatever your going through, whatever enemy is attacking you; God will rescue you. Trust in Him and Be Blessed!

Prepare the way…
"God sent a man, John the Baptist, to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light."
John 1:6-8 NLT
Many believes that John, himself, was the messiah. But he was just a witness. His sole purpose was to prepare the way for Christ.
And so is our purpose, to tell everyone about Christ. We can do that by: how we act, how we interact, how we serve and our actually testimony. Few are called to preach, but all are called to witness.
So be like John, prepare the way for Christ second coming. Share the gospel and Be Blessed!

Thankful…
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done."
Philippians 4:6 NLT
So many times we worry, so we take it to God in prayer. We tell Him what we need, but we forget to thank Him for what He has already done.
Spending time in Florida, after Hurricane Ian. I have seen so many grateful people. They had roof damage, but they are thankful their home was spared. They were without power, but thankful they had a generator. They suffered for days but are thankful to be alive.
So many times in this all about me society, we want more and more. And we forget to be thankful for what God has already done. Today I am thankful that God gave me the opportunity to give back and to meet these wonderful people. Be Blessed!

Attack of the enemy…
"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith."
1 Peter 5:8-9a NIV
We must always be alert for an attack of the enemy. As silly as it sounds, my wife is never allowed to walk on my right side. That is my strong side, I want to always be prepared to defend her and myself should an attack occur.
But God's word tell us the same, we must remain strong in the faith so that we can defend against the enemies attacks. In regular prayer, daily Bible study, regular church attendance and a close personal relationship with your Lord and Savior.
Always be prepared and when the attack comes, you can easily defend yourself. Stand firm in the faith and Be Blessed!
