Focused on the goal-part 2

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.
Look, everybody, the bottom line is that we have to focus on the task at hand, right? What did God tell you to do? Focus on that. Yes, and if it's one thing, stay with one thing; if it's two things, stay with two things. But it's not going to be too much that He tells us to do at once. I do believe in the phrase, "staying in our lane." There are certain times that we need to cross over to other lanes and go pass other cars. But we have to know when the Lord tells us to do that. For now, I'm staying in my lane. That's what I have to do.  I'm focused on my lane and I don't have to cross over to another lane right now in my life. I don't.

We have to focus on what God told us was going to happen. We have to focus on that awesome and godly thing that lives in our heart. We cannot and must not, get sidetracked and distracted by the unnecessary and the unimportant. You know what God put in your spirit. I know what God put in mine. We know it and we can't be concerned about the negativity and the people who don't get it. We get it. God gets it. And that's good enough for me. How about you? In fact, it's great enough for me.

Philippians 3:15/16 says, "So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it." And that's it. Focused. On. The. Goal.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Speak things as if they were

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. Do you know you have the power to speak things into existence? Do you know you have the power to change your atmosphere? Oh yes, so speak life to your life and know that the Lord's Word never comes back void. It is always alive and active. It's never too late to start speaking over your life. In   Mark 11 :24 Jesus says, "therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours"  and   Proverbs 23 :7 says, "for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he."  Those verses are proof that when something lives in our heart, all we have to do is open our mouths and speak those things as if we already had them. It's amazing how much power we really have, but we throw it away, because of our lack of faith. I've done that for years and let me tell you, it's not happening anymore. I'm not giving no thing, no one, and no place another inch of m
