Happy New Year,
my friend. Thank you for allowing me to
share with you some of the things going on in life, our family and
ministry. My prayer has always been that
these e-devotions would be an inspiration as well as to call out the God given
potential in each of your lives.
Be blessed. I
am praying for you!
Then the
Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak
to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel. You
shall say to them: 24 The
Lord bless you, and keep you; 25 The
Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; 26 The Lord lift up His
countenance on you, And give you peace.’ 27 So they shall invoke My name on the sons of Israel, and I then will bless them.”
I have heard those words for many, many years. It was handed to Moses to pass down to others
who were in turn to share them with God’s people. There is never a time when God pours out
blessings that we are to keep them for ourselves. The blessings of God are intended to be
shared with others.
How are you sharing the stuff, the opportunities and
the truth that God is placing in your life?
This is most often seen in how we use our time, our talents and our treasure.
In the blessing from Moses to Aaron and on to the
people of God was the pure desire for God’s face and His glory to shine on and
through His people. This blessing
included the presence of real peace and the opening of possibilities for more blessings
from God.
These blessings aren’t the winning of the
million-dollar lottery. These blessings
are meant to change lives, to create more blessings and to allow people to
experience God.
I pray that in 2016 that you and I will enjoy the
presence of God so much that we overflow with the peace of God and His glory
for all those we come in contact with.
This is going to be a great year. I’m ready.
Are you?
Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all the earth.
People I am praying
for:
My family (to fall even more in love with Jesus and serve more than ever
before), You (to see and seize the incredible grace of God as well as share
that grace with others), our church (to grow in number because many more people
accept Jesus in 2016 and to move in to our new campus), my community (to find
even more hope in Christ and a lift in the economy), myself (to seek Him fully
and to lead with greater passion). Who
are you praying for?
