What’s your motivation?

You got things straight?

Jim Elliot once said: “It is dangerous to get the cart before the horse, but it is essential in God’s program to get the heart before the course.”

For those who think faithful attendance to the Lord’s house is optional you better read you bible and think again. Jesus did not establish the church for nothing! 

Psalm 84
The Blessedness of Dwelling in the House of God

84 
How lovely is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!
2 
My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 
Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.
4 
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;
They will still be praising You. Selah
5 
Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6 
As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with pools.
7 
They go from strength to strength;
Each one appears before God in Zion.[b]
8 
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 
O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your anointed.
10 
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.
12 
O Lord of hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in You!

Don’t speak hastily!

True Satisfaction.

Thomas Kempis once said: “Wherever You are, wherever you go, you are miserable unless you turn to God.”

How true that is! You may even fool yourself into think something in this world will bring you true satisfaction in life but God designed you and He designed you in such a way that without Him there is no satisfaction! 

God in your life is the ultimate satisfaction! If you are a follower of Jesus you already know this, if you are not, then you need to heed the word of God and follow now!

▪ Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35)
▪ For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things. (Psalm 107:9)
▪ The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever! (Psalm 22:26)
▪ In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 16:11)

Thank you Lord for being my satisfaction!
