Welcome to Daily Moments with God, an online sanctuary written by Christian author R. Lynn Moore. This space is a dedicated resource for your everyday walk with Jesus. Through daily devotionals, scriptural studies, and deep reflections, this blog aims to build, edify, and exhort believers. Our mission is to help you silence the noise of the world, stay rooted in faith, and trust God's sovereign hand through life's unexpected turns.
What will you do in this day that God has given you? Will you use it to tell somebody about your Lord, your God and your Savior? Will you use it to go deeper into His word? Will you use it to reflect on the things that He has done in your life? Or will you use it to worry while you wait?
Understand God's love for you. He loved you so much that He supplied a sacrifice for your sins. His love goes far beyond your past, your present, and your future. If He supplied a sacrifice for your sin ....what makes you think that He won't supply money for your need. Healing for your body. Peace for your storm.
Understand that when He did what He did. He left nothing out. He supplied everything that you needed for yesterday .... today ..... and the tomorrows in your life.
Why is it that keep believing for those around you and you are failing to trust God for yourself? Do you not believe His word when He said that He loves you? When He said He is watching over you to keep you in all your ways? When He said you were His child? When He expressed His love for you?
We have to begin to take God's word personal. We need to begin to relate to ourselves and our lives. Not just everyone around us. We pray for people and we believe for them .... yet we don't believe for ourselves. We tend to look ourselves as less than. Understand that God's word says that you are "more than a conqueror through Him". God's words says that He loves us. God's word says that He cares for us. STOP taking yourself out of the equation. Stop thinking that your past (what you did a yesterday, the day before, or the day before that) has the power to dictate your future. That is not the case. God's plan for you has already been established and written. We have to just stop getting off path looking for shortcuts. There are no shortcuts to God. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life". So the way has already been paved.
It's time to believe God's word and to believe that His word is not only for those around you ... it's for you too. Amen.
What is it you want? Why is it that you are still searching? Do you not yet realize the fact that you have been chosen. When someone is chosen .... that means they have been selected as the best and/or most appropriate. The word appropriate means suitable or fitting. Just think about it. God selected you and in doing so He is saying that you are the most appropriate or suitable one to fulfill His plan in the earth.
We have to stop questioning the plan of God by questioning the circumstances of our life. Understand that your circumstance does not determine whether or not God's plan for your life will be fulfilled. The word circumstance is defined as the condition to where you are right now. That does not determine where God is taking you or what He has planned for you. Understand that sometimes circumstances are there only to try to divert you. To cause you change your course. To change directions. To push you closer to God. To cause you call on Him instead of carelessly walking out life.
Understand today that you can stop searching. God has a plan for your life. His plan is to give you hope and a future ..... not to mention an expected end. Take time today and meditate on His word ....
Jeremiah 29:11-13
Amplified Bible (AMP)
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you.Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
What happens when you give it all over to God? When you let it all go? When you stop trying to do it yourself? What happens when you let God be God?
That is what God wants you to do. He wants you to let go of it. The hurts, the pain, the disappointment. The trials and the struggles. He wants you to stop trying to do it on your own. To stop trying to walk it out alone. He wants you to know that you are His child. Understand that a child is not built to carry everything. Because a child is small ..... he or she cannot carry the load that the parent can. That's how God looks at his parental relationship with you. He knows that there are things that you are not able to carry .... so He carries it for you.
Make it your determined purpose to let go and let God today. Amen...
Are you allowing God to lead you, guide you, and direct you? To "lead" means to go with someone while holding them by the hand, a halter, a rope .... but in our case His word. A "guide" is a person who advises or shows the way to others. To "direct" means to to manage or guide by advice, helpful information, and instruction. It means that you help a person to get from one place to another by the shortest way without changing direction or stopping. So again my question to you is are you allowing God to "lead" you, "guide" you, and "direct" you?
So often in life we grab hold of our circumstances and situations and allow them to manage our reaction, our feelings, and our thoughts. It is at that point we are being led by what we are going through instead of who God is. Then there are times when we seek advice from whomever will give it. The question is .... is it God ordained advice? Are they speaking from the heart and mouth of God? You have to know in which direction a person is guiding you and directing you. If it is not closer to God .... it is at that point you should realize you are going the wrong way.
Make it your determined purpose to be led, guided, and directed by your Father, Creator, and King. He loves you and He will always lead you into a closer relationship and walk with Him. Amen.
Do you understand what it means to be developed? To be developed means to cause to grow or expand. It means to elaborate or expand in detail. It means to bring into being or activity. To be developed means to be brought to a more advanced or effective state. Understand today that God is developing you. You have not yet gotten to the place that God has designated you to be. You have not gotten to that advanced or effective state. Also understand that there is a process in development. Use the analogy of taking pictures on a camera with film. With film the process starts with a negative. Think about that word .... negative. Negative means expressingorcontainingnegationordenial. Have you ever felt like you were in a place of denial concerning the things of God? It's all a part of being processed.
Go back and think about the negative where film or should I say a picture is concerned. From that negative comes a process called development. Once development is complete .... you end up with a picture (or photograph). That is how our life is. We have negatives in our lives. Those things that don't seem to line up with the end result we desire or expect. But once we go through the process of development .... we end up with the desired end result. A life that is well pleasing to the Father.
Remember also with film. If you take the film out of the camera too soon or expose it to the wrong kind of light ... you can destroy the pictures that have been taken. The camera is designed to be a place of safety. It is the place where the film is housed. That is how God is to us. We are housed in Him. Remember .... He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High .... in His shelter ... shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." We too must stay housed in our place of safety in God. If we come from under His covering we expose ourselves to danger.
There is a picture of your life that God has taken. It's called destiny. Allow Him to take you through the process of development in order for you to see the desired end result. Amen....
Do you know what it means to be chosen? To be chosen means to be selected. To be picked out of many. That is what God has done. He has chosen you. He has chosen you to lead, to direct, to be an example of who He is in the earth. How are you handling the fact that you have been selected? How are you leading those around you? How are you directing the people and the things around you? One definition of directing is to manage. How are you managing the things around you?
You have an awesome responsibility. To reflect and to to show forth the glory of God. The power of God. The goodness of God. The grace of God. The purpose of God. All of this is what God has placed you here to do.
Understand today that you have been given an invitation. An invitation to enter into His plan, His purpose, and the life He has created for you. How are you responding with the RSVP of your life? Are you saying yes Lord .... I am coming as you have requested or is your life saying that you have no interest in living in His plan.
