Zoom Huddle 10 am today
Good Morning Disciples that Jesus Loves! That is so true, but would you describe yourself that way? John did. Maybe if we did, we would be a bit more earnest in pursuit of and living for Jesus. we are so very loved by the God who is love and then saved, empowered and sent to love like Jesus. That is our mission that transforms our lives and of those around us. How's that going? Has God revealed someone to you that needs His love? Has your team discerned someone to love like Jesus loves you. Has the Holy Spirit given you dreams and visions for how to? be bold and courageous and step into your anointing today. God has great plans just for you! Rejoice, trust and follow well!
I was able to get three solid hours of sleep and some 10-30 minute naps before that. However, I need more rest as I cannot keep my eyes open right now. God has led me in a step in the right direction. That flows form abiding n matter my circumstances and then trusting and following well, just as I am. Check out the UR's reminder that as we allow what breaks God's heart to break ours we will reap with joy. What's breaking your heart right now? What are you doing about that? Ask God for eyes to see, ears to hear and for His heart and mind to step into your purposes today. Ask for willing feet and hands that hold loosely to your agenda for this day. Find someone to pray about this, to discern with and to plan and then cover you and help you. That is God's plan for you! Yes rejoice and come as you are and allow Him to move you closer to what he has created you to be and do. Amen! TWFYT asks a simple question that Jesus asked and still asks, "Do you want to be made whole?" How you answer that will determine what happens next. Choose Jesus! Choose love! Choose to trust and obey. Choose to die to self, take up cross today and allow Him to lead you to His best. He's waiting for you! And we are praying into us discovering and stepping into our purposes boldly and ready. May it be so Lord! Come! Amen! The harvest is waiting! Revival is at hand! Amen! Shalom shalom! Know perfect peace as you trust, surrender and follow today!
UR: No Labor Lost
Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. - Psalm 126:5 (NIV)
At an annual event that rewards hard work and excellence across sectors in Africa, our organization won an award. I went to receive it. As I stood on the podium, the chairman named the feats we have achieved over the years, and the crowd cheered. It was a spectacular moment because the hard work we thought had gone unnoticed was finally rewarded.
Reflecting on that moment, I thought of the future time when God will honor the saints, the martyrs, the unknown heroes of faith, the peacemakers, the generous givers, and others who work tirelessly for the cause of God’s kingdom (see Matt. 16:27). Even when we feel our service has gone unnoticed or seemingly unrewarded, God takes note.
Realizing that God sees my effort even when the world does not instills in me a fervent desire to serve God and humanity. I look forward to the day when I will stand before God among the cheering saints and hear God say to me, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matt. 25:21).
Today's Prayer
Dear God, when our heart and hands are weary, strengthen us. Amen.
