Hungry For His Glory

Everyday I seek something new. I am hungry for it. I thirst after it. God's will. In every area of my being I try to see something new be it in the trees or the many faces I see. In a whisper or the thunder. All around us is something to be appreciative of. Our hardships are nothing compared to the many lives that sleep under bridges, in cars and eat out of trash cans. Children starving. Elderly ignored. Mental and physical illness. The list goes on.

I can never give God enough praise for all that He has done for me and all that He has not. I am more appreciative of what He has not done. Most only seek God when disaster stricks but soon as the storm clears they go right back to what ever it was they were doing and often times God is no where in it. It is written that you can not serve two masters. It is written that God is a jealous God. It is written that every knee will bow and every tougne will confess.

This is where the new comes in. I don't want to be the same. I want to gain something valuable not for me but for the use in building Gods kingdom one soul at a time. I want to be used for a greater good not for meaningless position or mere pats on the back. I don't need nor want recognition, that is all for God's glory. He is worthy of all the praise. I am not a perfect being but I am a chosen vessel. And as the Potter molds me and makes me, I will be what He desires me to be.

1 Chronicles 7:14 NLT-Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.

Here I am Lord, use me. He can use you too, if you let Him.

Spectators Never Win

1 Corinthians 9:24-26 in the NLT Paul tells us, “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing”. I am reminded with every breath, the race I am running. I know that God has given me the vision and because He alone is omnipotent, having unlimited power, I have won, I just have to run. I may stumble and fall, I may get scratched up and bruised, but run I must. An athlete does not go into a race with doubt and fear. They are not concerned with who is cheering them on. A runner cannot focus on the runner next to them thought they are aware that they are there. A runner is focused on the run, the finish line, and the score board that tells them if they have beaten a previous record for the win. Being a runner on the track is the same as

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal, and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing

Win The Race With Endurance

Today has been a good day. How many of you get up in the mornings and say this? Do you get up with anticipation and drive to do all that you can in peace, or do you get up dreading the day before it even starts? You have a choice to either be grateful or in torment. After a great call with a friend I haven't seen or talked to in over 30 years until a few weeks ago spoke so much life and confirmation in to me today. I was reminded about endurance and running the race that God has placed me in. This race is nothing about what I want, it's about what His will is for me and nothing more. You see, we have to surrender our will for His will because as you know, God's will is the platform in which we have been placed at the starting line to run and not faint or grow weary. We been called and hand picked for a time such as now. Its urgent and immediate. Are you running to it or from it? The past few months have been challenging on many levels and with these challen
