Morning

“Nature gave men two ends – on to sit on and one to think with.  Ever since then man’s success or failure has been dependent on the one he used most.”

~George R. Kirkpatrick

Have a great day

Be productive!

Come…

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, come.

If you’re feeling grateful or expectant, come.

If you’re feeling joyful or grievous, confident or doubtful, encouraged or frustrated, come.

“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!”

Psalm 95:6

There’s something about falling on our faces before the One who created us—and everything that exists—that reminds us of who He is and who we are not.

When was the last time you stopped—in your car, in your kitchen, in your rushing, in your humanness—to simply come to God?

When you notice a gorgeous sunset, come.

When you can’t see through your tears, come.

When you’re captivated by a child’s smile, come.

When you’re overwhelmed by bad news, come.

When you’re motivated to make an impact, come.

When you’re deflated beyond words, come.

Come to the Lord, your Maker. He has already come to you.

Dream On, Dreamer!

We are created to dream, God sized dreams. 

Be encourage today to look into the lives of those who have traveled before us and find how they dreamed God sized dreams:

1. I will, like Paul, forget those things which are behind me and press forward.

2. I will, like David, lift up mine eyes to the hills from whence comes my help.

3. I will, like Abraham, trust solely in my God.

4. I will, like Enoch, walk in daily fellowship with my Lord.

5. I will, like Jehoshophat, prepare my heart to seek God.

6. I will, like Moses, choose rather to suffer than to enjoy the pleasures of sin.

7. I will, like Daniel, commune with my God at all times.

8. I will, like Job, be patient under all circumstances.

9. I will, like Gideon, stand firm even though my friends seem few.

10. I will, like Aaron, uphold the hands of my spiritual leader.

11. I will, like Isaiah, consecrate myself to God’s work.

12. I will, like Andrew, strive to lead my brother to a closer walk.

13. I will, like John, learn to lean upon the bosom of the Master.

14. I will, like Steven, manifest a forgiving spirit toward those who hurt me.

15. I will, like the heavenly host, proclaim the message of peace and hope.

God help us all to keep alive the dreams and the dreamers we were created to be so that we too can walk in a newness of life in Christ Jesus! 

We are where we are today, because someone dared to be different and reached for the stars. Many times under the heavy load of criticism and false accusations, but thank God they were willing to press on anyhow.

Don’t Kill the Dreamers from Joel 2:28.
