Daily Habit.

For the follower of Jesus this should be a daily habit:

Psalm 95:6 

Oh come, let us worship and bow down;

            Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. 

Bowing down and kneeling before our Lord should be a daily habit for all of us. He is God and worthy of our worship. For the follower of Jesus we do it out of love, respect, awe, and worship of the ONE who died for us to provide us salvation and all the blessings of life. It is an honor to do so! We love our King!

However one day all will bow and recognize Jesus our King:

Philippians 2:10 

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

We can kneel because we know the Lord and worship Him or in the end we will kneel and recognize Jesus as King our of our ignorance. Be wise and surrender to the King now! Make it a daily habit to worship King Jesus!

Ingredient to happiness.

In God's infinite wisdom he gives us the ingredient to happiness in this live we live on this side of heaven:

Proverbs 16:20 

20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.


1. Heed the Word! Listen and obey God's Word! Plain and simple. Hard to be a follower of Jesus and not read and obey your bible.

2. Trust in the Lord. The Lord knows best so do what He says and trust Him!


Want to be happy? Do what God tells us after all He is God and He knows what He is doing!

Do good!

 As a follower of Jesus the Holy Spirit guides us if we will listen to him and follow His leading. often He will tell us to do something good. For example He may say to you as you see an obvious poor person who needs something to eat to buy something and give it to them. At that point this verse needs to come to mind:

James 4:17 

17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

If God tells us to do something then we need to do it no questions asked! There are a million situations we could mention, we need to be tuned in and listening for God to speak and then obey. It can be something as simple as a kind word. When we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit we show folks Jesus by our example and  you never know where that may lead in the life of someone we are blessed to minister too!!!

Do good!!!

What are you going to do today?

 We have a choice today on our attitude and actions. Many situations you will walk through some good some not so good. How are you going to react? You can make the choice before anything even happens. God tells us the attitude we are to have in His Word:

1 Corinthians 16:14 

14 Let all that you do be done with love. 

Whether good or bad we are to react with love. In all situations look to how Jesus reacted and do the same for He is our example. It is easy to do in the good situations but oh how challenging it is when hard or bad things happen. Don't miss that word "all"! In all that we do we are to do it in love so let us be obedient to the Word of God and do it with love. Even a bad situation can change when the other side sees the love pouring out from you!

So what are you going to do today love or hate?

God knows your name!

 Have you ever sat back ad thought about how personal God is??? The God who created everything and is all powerful knows your name and every detail of your life. Many times in scripture God called out people by their name:

He called out to the child Samuel: 1 Sam. 3:10

He called out to Mary seeking Him at the Resurrection: John 20:16

He called out to Saul on Damascus road: Acts 9:4

and we could go on! He not only know our names but He knows every hair on your head!

Matthew 10:30 

30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Think on that today....God knows you and then ask yourself do I know God??? He desires a relationship with us! all we have to do is seek Him....He is waiting on you to call out His name!!!
