GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING–EP399–EMPTY TO OVERFLOW

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v6yd866-god-focus-this-morning-ep399-empty-to-overflow.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING, I AM THRILLED TO BE BACK AND HAVE EVERYTHING WORKING AGAIN.

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  EMPTY TO OVERFLOW

I often think about Peter fishing all night without a catch. He was ready to give up. Peter had used his equipment and experience, all that he had within his power to catch fish. We too can do everything in our power to get a good outcome, sometimes, but in spite of our best efforts we fail. Then Jesus came by and said go out and cast your net on the other side. I am sure the last thing Peter wanted to do was go back out after a long night. But he listened to Jesus and went back out. He was obedient.

The first time he was out he was fishing in his own strength and wisdom. The second time he went on Jesus’ word. He caught so many fish; he had to call for another boat to help him. We may accomplish thing on our own. But it is always more profitable to listen to the leading of God.

When we are obedient, we go from an empty vessel to one that is overflowing. When we are obedient, not only will God bless us, but he will bless those around us. It doesn’t say, but I think it is safe to assume that the boat which came to help Peter had fished all night too without much to show for it.

The blessing that God gives us will always overflow onto others. He pours into us so that we can pour out to others. He fills us with encouragement so that we can encourage others. The hope he gives us to give us something to share with others. He gives us faith to share the good news of salvation.

When we are tired of trying, like Peter was that morning, remember God has a plan. We may be empty like the boat Peter was in, but God can fill us up to overflowing. We just have to cast our net on the other side.  If we follow God’s instructions and are obedient, we will be blessed and many around us.

Now is not the time to sit in the empty boat feeling tired and frustrated. The world is depending on us to try again. We need to keep fishing, keep trying to win the lost to Jesus.  Now is the time to look for answers, listen for God’s direction. He will not leave us empty handed but will tell us to launch out into the deep.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS

Welcome to Hiding The Word In Our Hearts. A morning scripture writing devotion. The scripture for today is JEREMIAH 29:11. The subject this week is HOPE. We write the scripture in the heart labeled Monday, if you have the book or in a notebook. Writing the verse will help you to remember it.

JER 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

As children of God our Hope is in God and his plans for us. Our hope cannot be about an effortless life. We cannot hope for fame and fortune. Our hope has to be on the plans of our Lord. The future we hope for can only be about the outcome that God plans for us. His plan is the best one. He knows all about us and what we can and cannot handle. His plan is the best plan.

When we are faced with decisions or problems, we often do not have all the pieces to the puzzle.  However, we know someone who not only has all the puzzle pieces, but he has the picture on the box.  He knows what our life needs to look like, in order to complete the picture of who He wants us to be.  If we rely on Him, He will put the puzzle together, in His time.  It is a peaceful thing to know there is a God in heaven, who cares about us, our lives and our hopes.

VOL 1 WEEK 2 – SATURDAY

Good Morning my God Focus friends.  Today is Saturday.  Week Two of Hiding The Word In Our Hearts.  Week Two is all about Faith.  Our verse this morning is: HEB 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Without faith we cannot please God. He wants us to trust him. He wants us to believe in him and his word.  Anyone who comes to him must believe or have faith that he is. Some do not believe that God exists. He is a rewarder of those who believe in Him.

God desires for us to have faith and trust him. He will pour out blessings on his people.

Faith is seeing things with our hearts that we cannot yet see with our eyes.

Until next time,

Be bold, be brave and keep your God Focus

VOL 1 WEEK 2 – FRIDAY

Good Morning my God Focus friends.  Today is Friday.  Week Two of Hiding The Word In Our Hearts.  Week Two is all about Faith.  Our verse this morning is: James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Many preach that we are justified by our works. Some believe that our works can save us. There is not a biblical basis for this theology. But only our faith in Jesus can save us. We are justified by our faith in the cross of Christ. This is how we are saved, not by works. But works are necessary, they show our faith. We have works as a part of our witness. They show the world that we are different.

Our faith in God gives us a heart to help others. Our faith is a fruit or byproduct of God’s Spirit indwelling in us. We walk by this faith which helps us to grow and be a light to others.

Go out today and let your light shine and show the world your faith.

Until next time,

Be bold, be brave and keep your God Focus
