“But–to use the words of Scripture–we speak of things which eye has not seen nor ear heard, and which have never entered the heart of man: all that God has in readiness for them that love Him.” -1 Corinthians 2:9 (Weymouth New Testament)

We can’t even begin to imagine the awesome, incredible and wonderful things that God has in store for us in eternity. Our life here comes and goes like a vapor (James 4:14) and at times we may go through hard times but it is nothing compared to the glory God has for us in eternity (Romans 8:18.)  So chin up! We have a glorious future to look forward to!

“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” – Philippians 4:8 (NASB (©1995))

YOU are responsible for what you let enter into your eyes and ears. Yes, some of it you can’t control, true, like inside of a store, but alot of it you can. If what you allow enter into your mind is NOT all those things stated in that verse then you’re not doing what the Word of God is telling us to do. Remember that we are “in” the world but not “of” the world.

“For the vision is still for the fixed time, and it is moving quickly to the end, and it will not be false: even if it is slow in coming, go on waiting for it; because it will certainly come, it will not be kept back.”  – Habakkuk 2:3 (Bible in Basic English)

Are you waiting on a promise of God to come to pass? Has it been so long that you’re wondering if it was just your imagination? God doesn’t live from day to day like we do but rather totally outside of time. He sees all eternity at once and is in no hurry. Keep waiting and when the right time arrives, no one will be able to stop it!

“For we have not a High Priest who is unable to feel for us in our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in every respect just as we are tempted, and yet did not sin.”
– Hebrews 4:15 (Weymouth New Testament)

The great thing is that not only can we confess our sins to Jesus, our “High Priest” but He knows EXACTLY how it feels to go through everything that we do because He experienced it first hand also.  So if you fall, His Blood will cleanse you and then keep moving forward with God’s plan for your life!

“See, your name is marked on my hands;”
– Isaiah 49:16a (Bible in Basic English)

Have you ever seen someone write a person’s phone number on their hand so that they wouldn’t forget it?  Well God has YOUR name engraved into His hands.  So when you feel like everyone has forgotten you and that nobody cares whether it’s family or friends or whoever, remember that God CANNOT forget you!

When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, O LORD, I shall seek.”
– Psalm 27:8 (New American Standard Bible (©1995))

God isn’t impressed with all that you do or offer Him or even what you do for His people. He wants His children to want to be WITH HIM. To spend time WITH HIM. To love on HIM. Just like any loving Father would. Make time for Daddy today…and everyday.

Having a bad day? Pray and praise God and watch Him rock your world!!!

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” – Ephesians 6:10

Notice that it says to draw on God’s strength and power and not on our own. We just mess things up anyway in our own strength so let God be God and get off His throne!

As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel would win, but as soon as he put his hands down, the Amalekites would start to win.
– Exodus 17:11 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))

Hands uplifted always represents praise so in every battle you face never stop praising Him if you want to win!

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, besides You, what He has prepared for him that waits for Him.
– Isaiah 64:4 (King James 2000 Bible (©2003))

God’s plan for our lives are beyond what we can imagine.
