Daily Devotionals

Jesus paid it all. That's right. He gave everything for us when Jesus died. Yes, He paid the interest for us, so we wouldn't have to. In other words He paid for our value in full and didn't charge us anything. How awesome it is to know Him. I consider it an awesome blessing. There's no doubt about that. Romans 10:9-11 is proof.

Where, is it, you want God to take you? Do you know He will give you the desires of your heart? But...you have to be willing to put some work -- lots of work -- behind your faith, because nothing worthwhile will come easy. Oh no. We have to put some perseverance, determination, stamina, and intensity, in order to go where it is He has for us to go. And guess what? We can indeed get there. Don't think we can't. It's about staying on the word "go" and continuing on. God did great things for Joseph in Genesis and He will do the same for you.

Proverbs 27:17 says, "iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." What that means is that the people who are around us are the people who make us better and we make them better. Or at least it should be that way. I Googled some iron synonyms and some of the words were: uncompromising, unrelenting, unyielding, unbending, resolute, resolved, determined, firm, rigid, steadfast, and unwavering." All of those words can convey that if a person is like iron, they are fixed, gazed, and purposeful in what they want and nothing will stop them.

Do you know you’re in a league by yourself? It’s true, because there’s only one you and since there’s only one you, you’re the only one who can do what you do. It doesn’t matter who is doing the same thing, the fact is, nobody is you and you’re not anybody else. Did you get that? Ok, I’ll put it this way, what is for you, is for you and you only, so don't bother comparing yourself to people who seem to be further along than you, because you'll feel like you don't measure up. And remember, no one started where they are now. And don't waste a minute comparing yourself to anyone who doesn't appear to be as far along as you, because then you may get a false sense of where you are. Genesis 18:14 is proof.

There is a woman in the bible named Esther who has a book of the bible named after her. That says alot, doesn't it? She is one of my favorite women in the bible. She came from humble beginnings and ended up winning, because she took chances and they paid off.

Do you know God wants to bless you? Do you know He has abundance for you? Where are you today? Are you in the same place you were last year? A few years ago? A decade ago? Or have you've grown? Hopefully, you have grown, because change happens regardless of where we are and positive growth should come with that change. The blessings are in moving with the times and being open to the new moves of the Lord. Matthew 6:25-34 speaks to that.

You know what another great thing I love about God is? His amazing grace gives us amazing faith, doesn't it? Just when we think we can't get through another challenging situation, the Lord will give us another round of His grace to get us over that hurdle, yet again. He will give us second winds that come often, which will be so awesome we can't help but be amazed at His awesomeness. We have to trust Him no matter how long it takes, because faith matters (Matthew 21:18-22). "Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord" (2 Peter 1:2) Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart

Do you know you are valuable, precious, and substantial to God? That clearly means you're royalty because you are a descendant of kings and of The King. And royalty gets the best God has, it doesn't get sloppy seconds or the left-overs. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” Royalty!

Do you know you can rise and shine like a diamond? That’s right, it doesn’t matter what comes at you, you can make it through. And no matter any past mistakes, God has forgiven you. God will deliver on His promises, so you can walk with your head up high knowing that God’s glory is on your life, so stay faithful. Hebrews 10:23 reminds us to hold fast to the profession of our faith without wavering; for God is faithful who promised it.

Have you ever heard of Habakkuk 2:2/3? It talks about seeing a vision, writing it down, working towards it, and waiting for it to come. The scripture goes like this: "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it;it will surely come; it will not delay." There were faithful people in Hebrews 11:32-34.

Are you an eagle? Do you know, eagles fly above the storm and they wait for the winds to carry them to greater heights? That's right, as the storm is raging below, they are soaring above it all. Philippians 4:13 says, you can do and get through all things through God who gives you the strength. Your faith will help you fly above the storm and your faith will move in your life as you are able to fly above the storm.

Do you know it's just a matter of time before you get what God has for you? So, continue to think big, because God has big things for you. You know why? Because when it's your time, it's your time and God wants faithful people who know the power of what He can do. There are many things we were born to do and although they won't come easy, they will come. Remember, before the Lord formed us in the womb He knew us and He set us apart; He appointed us as prophets to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:5). So now you see why you will make it even if you don't know exactly how? God has big things for you to do. And He will be there every step of the way for you to do them, because when it's your time, it's your time.

“Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul" (3 John 1:2). As 3 John 1:2 conveys, I pray things go well for you, for your health, and your soul -- your living body, your will, and your emotions. I pray you will get over every hill or mountain, out of every valley you may find yourself in, every fire that seems as though it's consuming you (although it's not). I pray that all goes well for you. Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart

"I run to you, God; I run for dear life" (Psalm 31:1). Those were David's words, which I can identify. For, I do run to God. How about you? Do you run to Him too? "Love God, all you saints [and others who want to draw near to Him]; God takes care of all who stay close to him" ( Psalm 31:23). And His love never runs out.

In yesterday’s blog post and podcast I talked about encouraging ourselves, but I didn’t really get into how. Would you like to know what has worked for me? The scripture reference comes from Hebrews 13:8, which says, God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow and He wants us to rely on Him first and foremost. Blog: http://insharonsheart.blogspot.com/2018/03/how-to-encourage-yourself.html?m=1

Today I've come to encourage you to stay encouraged even if you have to encourage yourself. Sometimes we may have to dig deep to find that encouragement, but we must make that a priority. We can't expect others to encourage us all the time, because although some people mean well, some are nevertheless...up today and down tomorrow...Hebrews 13:8 says, He's the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. That means He will never flake on us. Be encouraged in knowing that. Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart

Do you know, when we're walking with the Lord, we're walking blameless? "For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones" (Proverbs 2:6-8) Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart

I often hear, over and over again, that consistency is the key to achieving great things. I totally agree. Consistency is everything and if we will just stay the course, victory and success are imminent, which means our breakthrough is coming. Proverbs 4:25-27 says, "let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil [the things that will only set us back]."

Do you know miracles and extraordinary things happen everyday? So, why can't we experience such things, right? Aren't we children of the Most High? Than there you have it. It can still happen for you. It can still happen for us. I'll say again -- with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart

Are you waiting on the Lord to do anything in your life? If you are, don't give up, because God is still working on your behalf. And if you believe great things can happen for you, then they can indeed. It's all about believe, remember? Whatever you want God to do in your life, you have to believe it can happen for you. In Matthew 19:26, "Jesus looked at them [the disciples] and said, “with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart
