Do you trust your own judgment? It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps, and the heart is deceitful. Your own judgment can get you into trouble, but I offer you righteous judgment. You are too intimately involved in your own choices. Have you ever ‘taken a step back’ from a situation and seen it more clearly, and that you were headed in a bad direction? Carry this process through to the end. Make the deliberate choice to take your hands off, and I will step in to sway your judgment to conform to my will and the principles of my Kingdom. Who has known the mind of the Lord? Yet by yielding to me you will have the mind of Christ.

In the parable of the talents, the first two servants earned a profit and the master was pleased with them. The last servant broke even and was cast out. Do you think this is a story about money and profits? You know that it is possible for investors to lose money. What if there had been a fourth servant who invested his master’s money as the first two had, but the market went against him and he lost money. Would the master have devised a punishment more severe than that of the third servant? Yet the wicked servant’s punishment was not for lack of gain but for attributing false characteristics to the master. If you know me and trust in my goodness I will not cast you out even if you suffer reverses. 

Holy Lord God, I know that You want to work through us to accomplish Your desires. What are Your people doing or not doing that hinders your work?

The heavens declare my goodness and my glory. Do you see my handiwork there? Consider the North Star. It is fairly bright, perfectly positioned, and there are no other bright stars nearby. Any child can be taught to find it from prominent reference marks. It has been used by navigators throughout history to find their way as they travelled. Do you see how unlikely it is for all these things to occur simultaneously by random processes? Yet this did not occur by chance. I put Polaris there because I did not want people to be lost. In a greater sense, I came and died at Calvary because I did not want people to be lost. 

For all who have been praying for restoration of our nation, the following article, copied from here is extremly encouraging. In a decision that has major implications for the pro-life movement, the Alabama Supreme Court on Friday issued a unanimous ruling that a mother may pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of her pre-viable unborn child.

Do you think of your faith as life-enhancing, something that will make it better? This is an insufficient faith. It assumes that you start with a good life that would benefit from improvement. The promise of the gospel is more radical than this. It offers transformation. Not an improvement, but a total change. If you live in an affluent culture with many opportunities for self-improvement then the need for transformation may not be obvious, but the same issue was relevant in my own time. Do not water down the gospel message to suit the taste of your audience for life enhancement when they really need the transformation that only I can give.

Jesus, what do You desire for me to share with Your people? 

Congress proclaimed days of fasting and of thanksgiving annually throughout the Revolutionary War. This proclamation by Congress set May 17, 1776, as a "day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer" throughout the colonies...[Click Here To Continue Reading]

Holy Lord Jesus, I need Your perspective on ministry appeals that says give them a certain amount of money within a given amount of time and be blessed with great and unrealistic returns. As you know, I react badly to some of these appeals.
