The Word as a light

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it." John 1:5 Have you ever been in the dark, been afraid, you turn on the light and the darkness and fear leave? I know I have. In fact I have never turned on the light, had it shine brightly and then all of the sudden while it's still shining the darkness wins and it's dark again. It is impossible, light always wins over darkness.

I've also thought I saw shadows, or monsters when your a kid, I turned on the light and the evil had to flee. This is what God's Word does for our life. His word shines a light in our heart and begins to expose sin and other things that should not be there. When we spend time in the Word these things are revealed and through the Word we overcome.

Psalm says that the Word gives us insight for living, it shows us how to live our life. It shows us what is right and wrong, good and evil. It is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path guiding us on our journey of faith towards God.

This is one reason it's so important to read the Word. It will show you the darkness in your life and give you the power to overcome. The Word is a light for you guiding you, protecting you, and empowering you in this life. Read your Bible everyday and let it be a light for you!

Prayer: Let your Word guide me and expose anything in me that is not of you.

7/23/08

The most important meal of the day!

Growing up I always heard that breakfast was the most important meal of the day. It gets your metabolism kicking and gives you energy to set out and conquer the world! Or go to school; you choose :-). I'd like to propose a different meal as the winner of the title for most important.

In Exodus 16 we find the account of the Israelites in the wilderness. They were miles away from any source of food and a couple thousand years away from a McDonald's. They had to depend upon God to provide food for them.

Everyday they went out and found manna (bread of heaven) on the ground for them to eat. If they tried to save some to eat the next day it rotted. Everyday they had to depend on God to feed them.

The same is true in our life. The most important meal of the day is the meal we spend in God's Word, the Bible. His Word feeds our souls and gives us the spiritual nourishment we need to accomplish the task at hand.

Everyday we need to go to God, read the Word and receive the fresh manna He has for us. We cannot live off of yesterday's quiet time, we need a new one everyday. It is the most important meal of the day.

Prayer: Open your Word to me. Let it be my daily bread. Help me to be more desperate for your Word than anything else.

7/22/08

Hunger and Thirst

All throughout scripture God promises to fill, satisfy and feed those that are hungry and thirsty. Spending time in prayer and the Word is about getting to know God and getting filled with His presence, therefore we need to be hungry and thirsty for the Word, prayer, and his presence.

Psalm 42:2 says my soul thirsts for God. When can I get into his presence? This is the place we need to get to. When we are so hungry and thirsty that we cannot wait to get in the Word or get in prayer or get into God's presence we will be filled!

When someone is recovering from an eating disorder where they don't eat food they have to force themselves to eat because they have lost the ability to be hungry. After forcing themselves to eat for a while their body begins to crave food again and the hunger returns.

This same principle applies to our spiritual lives. We've gone so long without a regular diet of prayer and the Word we no longer crave it, we've lost our hunger. If we will force ourselves to read the Word and pray eventually we will crave it, our hunger will return and we wont find it so hard to seek after God!

You need a hunger and thirst for the living God. Make yourself read and pray and watch a hunger for the living God grow in your life!

Prayer: Father place a hunger and a thirst for your Word and prayer inside of me.

7/21/08

Everyday no exceptions!

If you had a choice between eating a meal and spending time in prayer and the Word what would you choose? If you thought or said the Word or prayer repent because you are lying! I'm just kidding maybe you really feel that way, but most people do not and that is natural. When faced with TV, food, internet, talking on the phone and every other thing there is to do most people choose these things over spending time in prayer and the Word.

This is the natural choices many people make, but if you want to walk in the supernatural seeing God use you to change your world you've got to make supernatural choices. That choice is everyday no exceptions I will spend time in prayer and the Word. All of us can carve out 15 to 20 minutes a day to spend time in prayer and the Word, the choice is ours.

The bible tells us that Job treasured the Word of God more than the food he ate everyday. He made a supernatural choice and as a result he saw supernatural blessing and increase. The Word tells us that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of God's mouth! (Matthew 4:4) In order to walk in the supernatural we've got to live off of the words from God's mouth.

Our natural tendency is to allow life to distract us from God's presence and the Word. In order to walk in the supernatural we've got to make the hard choices. Everyday no exceptions is a hard choice that will cost us some natural things, but in the end the harvest of the supernatural will far out weigh anything we give up.

This summer I've chosen to fast TV for our 93 days of devotion. This elimination of a natural thing has allowed me the time to add the supernatural. With this void I've been able to read the Word and spend hours more in prayer and my life has never been better.

I want you to consider giving up something natural to make room for the supernatural. Make the choice today when it comes to spending time in the word and prayer, everyday no exceptions!

Hide and Seek


This morning I spoke to around 70 3 to 8 year olds about the topic, "Hide and Seek." I love speaking to kids and seeing them worship because the bible is clear. Out of the mouths of children is perfect praise and we must have child like faith to enter the kingdom of heaven. It is inspiring to watch kids love Jesus with everything!

In Psalm 119:11 the psalmist writes, "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." I shared with the kids that we have to play hide and seek with our Bibles. We've got to take the scriptures we hear our teachers (or in your case pastors) talk about and hide them in our hearts. This is why reading the bible is so important. When we read we hide the scripture in our hearts.

When scripture is hidden in our heart then we will respond correctly to situations that arise in our lives. When we are sick scriptures that have been hidden can now be sought, found, believed and applied. During financial difficulties scriptures hidden can be found, believed and applied.

When was the last time you hid some scripture in your heart by reading the Word? I want to encourage you to get a daily reading plan and let the Word of God be a seed in your heart that protects you and brings you life!

Play Hide and Seek this week with the Word of God!
