We know this, we claim this but we struggle to live or feel like it is. In John 19:30 we are told: So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. (NKJ) Jesus died for our sins. He said it is finished. Then He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. We find it hard to give up our ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I do to others as I would have them do to me.
Ok, some refer to this as the Golden Rule. I am not sure where that term came from and quite frankly I am not going to spend further time in looking for it. A quick Google search of the term gave me a quick glimpse into those who harbor much hatred for God, Jesus and faith. This concept as some say is simple and been around for thousands of years ...

Affirmation of God: I turn to the LORD with all of my heart.
Searching for affirmations this morning in Joel chapter 2 I feel much like Simon Peter must have felt in John 6: 68-69 But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Day after day I am amazed and overwhelmed ... Continue Reading »

No matter the season. No matter what is going on today. God has put eternity in our hearts. Wherever we are today, it will pass. Whether it is a tough season or a joyous season, the time will change. This affirmation is from Ecclesiastes 3:11: He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: God fills my hunger.
Are we hungry enough? Really hungry enough? Jesus promises to us in Luke 6: 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh. (NKJ) The affirmation the Lord showed me today from this scripture was “God fills my hunger”. He promised that if I was hungry He would fill me. There are ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I humble myself before the Lord and He lifts me up.
Being humble in part is realizing we are unworthy and bringing ourselves low before the Lord in our proper position. When we are at a place when we realize we just can’t control the situation any longer and God is the way is where we see Him. In the 12-Step recovery programs it has always seemed odd to me that it is Step 7 before we are ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: God will complete the work He has started in me.
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6(NASB) “For I am confident of this very thing” Paul was confident in his letter to the church at Philippi. Are we that confident? Confident that God will complete the work He has started in us? But God you ... Continue Reading »
