THE LORD GOD IS MY STRENGTH; HE WILL MAKE MY FEET LIKE DEER'S FEET, AND HE WILL MAKE ME WALK ON HIGH HILLS. HABAKKUK 3:19

Produce an Abundance of Good Fruit, Plant the Right Seeds

Jesus has sown us into this world to influence humanity in the age in which we live and produce fruit for His Kingdom. We are planted right where we are to bear good fruit through the consequences of our choices, our actions, and our influence.

The Kingdom of God is manifested around us in accordance with our right choices, our right words, and our right actions.

As we pray and learn more about Him and grow spiritually. He will swing open doors for us when we have grown into the spiritual stature to walk through them as He wants us to. He knows what we can walk into and occupy, just as He knew what the Israelites could occupy and hold.

Your Word says I am good seed, Lord. Good seed ultimately produces good fruit that lasts forever. I want to bear bushels of lasting fruit for the Kingdom. Jesus, I bind my emotions to your healing balance, Holy Spirit, because I need them truly balanced in love to be able to give good spiritual fruit to those who need your love.

Galatians 5:22-23 , Matthew 13:37-38, and 2 Peter 1:5-8
-Liberty Savard-

I am in awe of all the devoted Christian authors the Lord has placed to reveal who He is. Our God wants us to know that He is Alive and Well today and wants to have a personal relationship with each of us.

As we climb the mountain of God, let's not forget to encourage each other along the way, lifting each other up in prayer. And lets not forget all the saints who have helped pave the way before us. God is still searching for the hearts that will commit to His quest. The quest, if we should except it, to bring souls into His kingdom. The kingdom which Christ is preparing for each of us in our Heavenly home. A kingdom of everlasting life with our Creator. -Debi Webster-

Thank Him for the Gifts He Gives You

Acknowledge that your skills and abilities are God's gifts to you. Thank Him for them, and use them wholeheartedly for His Glory. The Word says, Moses told the Israelite's, "See God has selected Bezalel...He's filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and know-how...(Ex. 31:1-6; 35:30-35). This is one of the earliest references in Scripture to being filled with the Holy Spirit. The idea here is that God's Spirit enhanced the native abilities with wisdom to fulfill His instructions; understanding to solve the project's complex problems; and workmanship, skill to accomplish the labor with accuracy. (MSG and NSFL)

"True thankfulness begins by recognizing our weakness. It ends in praising God, glorifying His Name, and praising His attributes in love. A mark of true thankfulness is that we love the giver more than the gifts. When God's creatures return to Him, there in His presence His goodness is experienced. If we possess this love we always have something to be thankful for" -The Dutch minister Frans Bakker-
