And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings. And they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and worshiped God. Revelation 7:11 NLT

 

Devoted to Worship\n

The Bible tells us that God \u201cchanges not\u201d and in a world that\u2019s moving at a blistering pace, that knowledge is a great comfort. Because God is both eternal and eternally good, you can count on Him no matter the circumstance \u2013even when you, yourself, cannot be counted on.\n

Has your prayer life changed from \u201cGod, I know you\u2019re good\u201d to \u201cGod, I hope you\u2019re in a good mood\u2026\u201d? As you get older and life\u2019s twists and turns wear you down, for some reason, you begin to doubt God\u2019s character. Somewhere along the line of broken relationships, lost jobs, chemo treatments, and funeral homes, doubt creeps in. You no longer believe in His goodness.\n

Do you know what you\u2019ve just done? You\u2019ve recreated God in your own image! Because you change from season to season, you assume God changes too. When your life is messed up, it\u2019s easy to convince yourself God isn\u2019t really good after all because you\u2019re not.\n

Hogwash! He never changes. He is the same \u201cyesterday, today, and forever.\u201d He created you and me to yearn for His goodness, knowing we would have to fight to comprehend it.\n

\u201cHe has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to end.\u201d -Ecclesiastes 3:11\n

Know this: God is not waiting for you to mess up so He can spank you. He wants to restore you. If you feel like God has changed or moved, look in the mirror. You\u2019re the one who moved. Move back into His presence.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Devoted to Worship

The Bible tells us that God “changes not” and in a world that’s moving at a blistering pace, that knowledge is a great comfort. Because God is both eternal and eternally good, you can count on Him no matter the circumstance –even when you, yourself, cannot be counted on.

Has your prayer life changed from “God, I know you’re good” to “God, I hope you’re in a good mood…”? As you get older and life’s twists and turns wear you down, for some reason, you begin to doubt God’s character. Somewhere along the line of broken relationships, lost jobs, chemo treatments, and funeral homes, doubt creeps in. You no longer believe in His goodness.

Do you know what you’ve just done? You’ve recreated God in your own image! Because you change from season to season, you assume God changes too. When your life is messed up, it’s easy to convince yourself God isn’t really good after all because you’re not.

Hogwash! He never changes. He is the same “yesterday, today, and forever.” He created you and me to yearn for His goodness, knowing we would have to fight to comprehend it.

“He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to end.” -Ecclesiastes 3:11

Know this: God is not waiting for you to mess up so He can spank you. He wants to restore you. If you feel like God has changed or moved, look in the mirror. You’re the one who moved. Move back into His presence.

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

My soul is set on Kingdom living.  In my human weakness, I do not always show that in my behavior.  I know that Jesus did not come to condemn me and that there is now no condemnation for me because I love the Lord.  When I wander, I return to His presence, and I am filled with His wonder.  It is amazing how much He loves me!
