WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING
THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: PREPARING OUR HEARTS
You can tell the importance of a day by the effort it takes to prepare for it. Look at a birthday for example: If it is just another birthday then maybe a week before people will make plans to go to dinner. But if it is a milestone birthday, sixteen, twenty-one, one hundred, there may be a big party that takes months to plan. Weddings are the same way.
There is coming a grand and glorious day, when we are called home to the wedding of the ages. The amount of time that this celebration has been being prepared for is over two thousand years. It is one invitation that should not be refused. Jesus has openly invited who so ever will…
If we have accepted his invitation to be a part of his bride then we need to be in preparation for the big day. We need to check ourselves daily and ask God to reveal anything in us that we need to change. As the bride of Christ, we are expected to be ready and not found lacking. No one wants to come up short.
Prov 16:1-3 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord. 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
The world may judge us by the kind of car we drive, the label on our jeans and if our address is on the right side of town. They judge us by our family name, and our career choices. But God judges us by our hearts. He looks to see if we have prepared our hearts and made room for him to come in and dwell. He looks to see if we daily try to walk in his ways, do we study with hunger his word? He desires to know us, to spend quiet time with us.
James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
God is calling us to that place of quiet intimacy with him. When the world is in chaos around us, we can have peace within by knowing God. Truly knowing him, not head knowledge of him, but heart knowledge…relationship.
Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith.
Today is the day to be preparing for revival and renewal of our relationship with God. He is getting ready to sweep our land with his presence. We just have to hold on through the shaking and hold on tight to him. Allow all the time you have spent in preparing to see him be your foundation. That foundation of relationship will not be shaken if the relationship is strong.
Psalm 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God.
Reinforcing strength into our bond, being prepared, and drawing closer to God, is our preparation. He will not disappoint us.
Psalm 24:4-5 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
In a world full of ways to not have clean hands and a pure heart, today we need to fight harder than ever to be such a person of integrity. This is what it means to prepare our hearts.
Until next time,
BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
