Daily Devotionals

Do you know it just may be part of God's plan that you are where you are, in order to help someone or to help a group of people? It just may be that God set you up for something greater than yourself for such a time as this, which is whatever particular time that is for you. That was the case in Esther 4:13-17 when Esther was the chosen one who married the king and which was one of the key reasons she was put into place to marry him. It turns out that Esther was to be instrumental in saving her people -- the Jews -- against destruction.   Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Do you know God has a will for our lives? Yes, it's really true. He has a will for our lives when we surrender all to Him. So when we make a decision to surrender all we have -- to surrender our will to Him, then God honors that. Only we know what that means though. Only we know what's in our lives that God has been dealing with us on. Only we know that person, place, or thing we need to lose in order to find ourselves. That something stays with us until we surrender -- until we really give it to God -- until we can really let Him have our right to "own" it. We give it to Him to own it. When we give that up then God will take it over and He will be the one who will take care of it on our behalf.   Isaiah 41:10 says, "fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Yes. It's all about trusting God with no strings attached, because God has a will for our lives when we surrender all to Hi

Sometimes we need all the strength we can get, don't we? Do you need to get though anything in particular today? If so, remember Jesus is still Lord and when we trust in Him with all our heart, and not rely on our own understanding, He will bring us through yet again. Yes, Proverbs 3:5 says, to "trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." When we do that, we will be stronger with the things that will come our way. Our strength comes from the Lord and He gives us what we need to be strong enough to conquer the obstacles that will surely come.  Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

I have some questions for you. How much do you visualize where you want God to take you? How often do you see yourself going to big places? Doing big things? Talking to the people you never imagined you'd talk to? Sitting next to a person you always admired from afar? What do you imagine for yourself? What do you dream about? What has eluded you, because you didn't think you were worthy of it?  In Genesis 15:1, God told Abram in a vision, "do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great." And as we know, God kept His promise. Abram became Abraham and he indeed became great.   Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Do you know you were made in love? You  were created by God and in the image of God. God, the creator of the universe, the creator of mankind, the creator of all things great, which includes love. Yes, God is love and God only operates in love. He is also all power, wisdom, and authority. God is the Great I Am (Exodus 3:14).   Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Do you know God is present right now and He's moving in the atmosphere? Yes, He's in the midst at this very moment. Do you need Him for anything? Psalm 46:1-3 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling." That scripture is saying with God we will not be moved, because we have nothing to fear with Him in the midst of our circumstances.   Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Sometimes we simply have to encourage ourselves. Yes, sometimes we have to encourage in the Lord -- in God. And if that requires dancing or whatever it is you want to do in Jesus name, then do it.  2 Samuel 6:14 says, "and David danced before the Lord with all his might."  Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart

Are we moving with the flow of God? I looked up the word stream, and a stream is a continuous flow of motion. It moves right along with the flow. Are we going in the direction God would have for us to go? Are we moving along in His stream? Did you know God makes the crooked places straight? Yes, it's true. In Isaiah 45:2, God said "I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron."  Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart

Do you know it’s wise to visualize your visions and dreams? Yes it is, because God has them for you, so you have to see what He has for you. I'm talking about operating in what has been in your heart for so long now that you may be wondering if it's ever going to come. But, don't grow weary and don't grow tired that you don't take time to make another move. You have to make the time. Yes, you have to keep those visions and dreams in your sight.  Habakkuk 2:2/3 says, "And then God answered: “Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to what’s coming. It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait! And it doesn’t lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It’s on its way. It will come right on time."  Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Do you know that when we move, God moves? Yes, sometimes He's simply waiting for us to make a move of faith on that thing we've been wanting to get done. We have to move and operate in faith. Hebrews 11:6 says, "and without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." And James 2:14-16 speaks to faith without works being dead.  Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

Do you know you have joy and victory? Yes, it's in you and it doesn't matter what is coming at you either. So, continue to believe you already have the joy and you already have the victory. Speak it over your life -- often and as much as possible, because it makes a difference. Speak life over your life. Psalm 3 was one of many, David's prayers to the Lord.

 Do you need God to act on your behalf today? Do you need God to intervene in anything in your life? Do you need Him to straighten out anything? Jeremiah 29:12 says, 'then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." So if there is anything that needs to be straightened out for your life, know that God will go before you and He will line things up. Yes, He will make the crooked places straight and He will level the mountains for you (Isaiah 45:2). Focus on Him and He will see to it that things line up the way they're supposed to in your life regardless of what it looks like in the natural. Be encouraged today as you continue on in your faith walk with the Lord. He will come through for you and He will continuously line things up for you. He will do it.

Do you know, God knew what he was doing from the very beginning? Romans 8:29:39 tells the story of His love for us and His sending His only son to intercede for us.  Relish in those scriptures, because those words were sent to encourage you today that you have not failed, because God has called you to by name to greater heights even though He knew everything that happened, would happen. That's great news for you, so don't let anything stop you. Nothing.  Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever" (Psalm 86:12).  I’ve come to remind you to be encouraged in what you’re doing. You have been serving God and it hasn't been in vain.

1 Samuel 17:45-49 is the story of David and Goliath. Some of you may be familiar with the popular story of David and the giant, Goliath. It was about the story of when a giant -- a formidable foe -- intimidated, scared, and terrorized a people. But it didn't end well for him. You see, when God is for you, who can be against you, right? Comon somebody. I've come to remind you that giants fall.  Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). I just want to encourage you to keep looking up, keep following the light, and to keep the plans God has for your life, front and centered. Continue to look up towards heaven no matter what you're going through. If you're not going through anything, then that's good, just continue to ensure your gaze is still on the Lord.

“Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing" (Psalm 16:1). Do you believe what David was conveying in those words? God will answer your righteous prayers and God will meet you exactly where you are. God took care of David and He will do the same for you and I. Have you spoken to God today? Have you called out to Him? He will answer you and He will not abandon your soul. Instead, He will give you all you need and He will do that right now.   Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart

1 Thessalonians 4 speaks to living a life for God, which can indeed be a full joyous life. Verses 1/2 say, "Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. For you remember what we taught you by the authority of the Lord Jesus."   Let's not make living for the Lord difficult. Let's do what it is He wants us to do in spirit and in truth.

Are you an eagle? Do you know, eagles fly above the storm and they wait for the winds to carry them to greater heights?  As you going through anything today? Are you worried about anything in particular? Just know, you can rise above it all. Nothing is too big for God. You can soar to great heights, because the Lord gives you the strength you need to do it. Have you called on Him to help you? To guide you? We all need Him. Do you know God gives you the fortitude to fly like an eagle? Yes, that's right, embrace what you are becoming if you are going through a storm, because you can give others hope that they too, can come out on top when they don't give up on what the Lord has for their life. You can help others soar too, just like the amazing eagle helps us. 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.  Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.

In the bible, David had heart -- the heart of a godly champion. That's the heart a person has for Christ when they refuse to give up. Psalm 31:24 says, "Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!" That means when we're strong and courageous, we will be able to stand the pressure just like David did -- a man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22).  Blog: insharonsheart.blogspot.com/ WebinarCourses: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart
