Day 10

“Come dine with Me” is the open invitation from Papa to enjoy a meal and moment with Him. Luke 22, Rev 3:20

Day 11

As the path of life wanders through the valley, piles of bones can be seen littering either side.  These dry bones belong to believers who let discouragement consume their hope, those who considered the whispers of the accuser, taking their eyes off of the prize.  To all who have given up hope, the same resurrection words that Lazarus heard are being spoken over you this morning… “come forth”.  The tomb has released you to live again…

Day 12

There is often a canyon between what I hold to be true and how I live. Bridging this distance requires putting motion to what I believe, departing from the comfortable and stepping over into difficult.  Heaven touches the natural things when the carriers of heaven walk where fear tells them not to go.

Day 13

In heaven there will be hundreds of thousands of days and nights to worship God along with the myriads of angels, saints and kneeling elders, in vibrant color and light.  But today, we have the privilege of focusing through the noise and darkness of the world, standing alone against the gravity of need to present a sound of unaccompanied worship that touches the heart of our Father –

Day 14

The purpose that God has for your life is surrounded by foreboding demons of fear, firing paralyzing thoughts and feeling in your direction.  Reaching your divine destination means gathering up courage and facing head-on, every fear that stands in your path.  Your boldness to confront these fears will not only find you walking in your calling, but will also expose the facade of terror you passed through as a mask of lies.  Matt 15:43, 2 Tim 1:7, Pr 28:1

Day 15

Flush all of the images in your mind of how you think things will turn out in life – marriage, ministry, career.  Then, with eyes fixed upon Jesus alone, follow Him wherever He goes, partnering with Him in His missions, loving those in your life extravagantly. While enjoying the journey, He will create a masterpiece behind you of His will fulfilled in your life from the palette of your mistakes, service and the love you have given away to the least of these along the way.

Day 16

The normal activities in our daily lives bring us near strategically placed burning bushes.  Papa leaves these mysterious clues out in the open to see of His kids want to play, desiring to get your attention so He can reveal your part in delivering nations. Any clue that tugs on our curiosity invites the busy to turn aside and discover with kid-like wonder, purposes and journeys that we didn’t know existed.

Day 17

“We act like pagans in a crisis, only one out of a crowd is daring enough to bank his faith in the character of God.” Oswald Chambers

Day 18

Our job is not to convict people of sin, but to lavish the kindness of God upon everything that breathes.  His kindness delivered through us has a thousand times more power than condescending truth or self-righteous preaching.  The kindness of God has the power to penetrate the hardest of hearts, unraveling the most twisted of minds, drawing the distant near.

Day 19

David danced with “all his might” and God loved it.  David wasn’t a trained dancer participating in a beautifully choreographed performance, but rather a son who had would rather act a celebratory fool than live without the presence of God.
