Availability
God is looking for availability.
God uses people whose hearts He has examined. No great talent or skill is a prerequisite. 1 Samuel 16:7; 1Corinthians 1: 26,27.
Have you ever wondered why it seems as though God uses those who seem simple or goofy? Remember David, he was just a shepherd boy. When people looked at him, I am sure they did not think he could ever become a king. God does not look at us the way people do. Remember God looks only at the heart, He has always know what we look like, He is our creator!
We all have incredible potential to do amazing things for God. He is only looking for a pure, heart and one who is focused on Him.
God has a plan for you become available to Him today, and allow Him to show you what golden nuggets that lies within you.

What's your Inheritance?
Many people think of God as being angry and judgmental, pointing his disapproving finger at our sins and failures. In reality, God is both holy and merciful. In his holiness, he calls us to moral and virtuous living; in his mercy he is willing to forgive us, and he loves us even when we fail. The psalmist is rejoicing that he can rely upon God's mercy, which becomes a protection against the destructive forces of evil. Practice each day to rely on God's mercy.
Mercy is God's gift to us; reverence (respect, faith) is our gift to God. The two works together to leave a legacy of faithfulness to future generations.
But as for me, I will sing about your power. I will shout with joy each morning because of your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge, a place of safety in the day of distress.
O My strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.
Psalm 59:16-17 NLT

Come before the Lord
Lord, I want to please you in every way. Bring me to a place of deeper solitude before You. I need to hear Your voice. Fine tune my ears to hear You more clearly, I give you my mind to sharpen my belief in You and Your word, to be more compassionate with a tender heart. Lord there are alot of hurting people, I ask you to let me be one of Your vessels who will answer the call when they need a hearing ear. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
Job 2:13 NASB

My choice to Glorify the Name of the Lord
Your name Lord is above all names. Your presence is welcome here today, we were created to praise you. We were created to live in your image, and to remain in your presence, therefore, I praise and glorify your name. You are the one who wakes me up in the morning, gives me energy during the day, and answers all my prayers;that's why I worship and have chosen to make it my life style. To be prostrate before You keeps me humble and loving to those who refuse to live for You but, they call you their own, and those who say they want on part of you. Forgive me for not being the right representation of your church. Since we are the church, we must cling to God for His guidance on our daily journey as we are presented to various individuals for an opportunity to lift up the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, guide me in the right direction for your blessings of giving or receiving today! Thank you Lord for your widsom and understanding, bless those who seek you and your kingdom and your righteousness.
Therefore, create in me a clean heart and a right spirit for your glory in Jesus name. Amen

Just Thinking
How do you respond to those in your comminity or church who have a need? I am asking because there are phone calls galore telling me, " we are out of work and loosing everything and no one can help, because there are too many in need." My freezer is empty and the shelves are almost bare. I could have used those prime ribs, pork roast, T-bones, and the hickory smoked bacon for my family.
Relying on Jesus I stay before Him with prayer and praise. It is time to dance before Him, because I know His answer is on the way!
