FROM BEING BUSY TO TRUE PURPOSE


*DAILY DEW 26TH/JANUARY/2021*

*FROM BEING BUSY TO TRUE PURPOSE*

_Key Bible Text:_
*“Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest."* (Matthew 11:28 (GNT))

_Bible Insight:_
Have you ever said any of these things?

“I’m so busy, but so is everyone else; it’s just the way life is.”

“I’m stressed. Everything is an emergency all the time.”

“I thought doing so much for others would be fulfilling, but I just feel drained and empty.”

If you are like me, you have said one, two, or maybe all those things at one time or another. But what if I told you that you might be missing out on the life God meant for you to live, missing out because you are operating in a world of crazy busy where the noise and distractions keep you from what you were meant to do?

When we speak out loud these feelings that most of us feel daily, it’s easy to see that we need to get off the wheel of crazy busy. *Crazy busy is a life without peace.* 

It’s marked by decisions made for the approval of the world, not the approval of God. 

It’s filled with what we think we “should” do, not what we know God has specifically called us to do.

It’s filled with what we think will make others happy, not what is pleasing to the Lord.

But all this busyness, in the end, keeps us just out of reach of the life we were created to live. 

*The world says we must do it all, but God says we must do only what He gives us to do!* How Amazing is that!!
It’s time to stop spinning our wheels in busyness and instead slow down to find the spiritual sweet spot of a life lived in sync with God.

MEDITATION: 
*Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God—what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.*
(Romans 12:2 (GNT))

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it?  Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not?  Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve.  How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25...

THE WAY OF THE CROSS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 16TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from both the penalty and the power of sin.* (1 Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible) What are the benefits that accrue to us from following the cross, or carrying the cross to follow Jesus? In answering this, we need to understand that it is the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross that gives the cross its power.  "1. Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from the penalty of sin." This is clearly the meaning of the words, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” By using the word “tree” rather than “cross,” Peter no doubt had in mind Deuteronomy 21:22-23, where it pre...

TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS*

Image
*DAILY DEW 24TH/DECEMBER/2021* *TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."* (Job 13:15 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ It's an uphill task trying to understand God's plan, especially when we can't make logical sense of what we see happening to and around us. But we aren't instructed to understand His plans, but to TRUST HIM and be secure in the knowledge that He's working everything to ultimately turn out for our good.  God won't mismanage your life. Trust Him with it and be willing and quick to obey His instructions even when they don't fit into your parameter of what's logical. One of the truest form of worship we can give to God is to TRUST Him - leaning our entire existence on the unchangeability of His nature and counsels. ❤ _MEDITATION:_ *In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.* (Psalms 71:1 (KJV)) *#Chibuikem_...
