Alone with The Father


Matthew 6:6 - When you pray go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place. Do you have a quiet place where you can get alone with God? He loves to hear from you! Just as much as we spend time on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter - God is wanting a little of our time. Our time with God is so important, it's the best part of our day; everything else falls into place when we start our day with God.

Matthew 14:13 If solitude was an important part of Jesus' life, shouldn't it be an important part of ours. Jesus often went to a quiet "deserted place" by Himself to get away from the crowds (the multitudes).

Mark 1:33 Again we see Jesus get alone with the Father in a solitary, quiet place and "there He prayed." Jesus prayer life was much more than ritual it was part of who He was. Some days we may need an hour other days it may  just just 10 minutes but it's important to daily spend time with the Father to be refreshed and invigorated. Consistently seek time to pray - it's so important.

Find a quiet place where you can close the door and communicate with the Father. Choose a time - morning, afternoon or evening; open your Bible and let God speak to you from His Word. Thank Him, praise Him and make your request known. He will answer your prayers - Yes - No - Wait; according to His will. It's in the waiting that's the hardest! Just Do It!!!

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
