Join us for 30 Days of Prayer for Global Awakening, March 11-April 9, 2024.
What has your life mostly been about? What thoughts mainly run through your head throughout the day? Worries about how to make ends meet? Anger when someone doesn’t do what you think they should? What you want and how to get it? Lustful thoughts? Fear for your children’s future?
Be careful what you focus on — what you spend your thoughts, your time, your worries, your money on. Be careful what you bow to.
This time we have here on earth is just the blink of an eye. If we make it about how others treat us or whether or not we get what we want, we’ll miss the crown. James 1:12. And you’ll need that crown to lay at your King’s feet. Those earthly treasures you so desire and work so hard for, you can’t take them with you. These are the three things that remain in the end: faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13.
So, this is what it all comes down to in the end: Do you know the Lord? And will you be found faithful? Jesus asked you to love Him and love others. Matthew 22:37-40. This is your greatest command. So, how are you doing with that? And what is He asking you to do to lay aside yourself and reach out all the wider with His love? Philippians 3:7-14.
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14 NIV
Lord, please give us courage to lay down whatever we’ve been holding onto that’s not You. Help us get over ourselves so we can finally get into You. Give us a hunger for You so deep, we make surrender our priority. Then flood us with the power of Your love, overcoming our weaknesses, knocking down our strongholds, and drawing others into You. When that day comes, and I bow before my Beloved, I want to be found faithful to the end.
