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.
Are you letting what is in you come out? Are you letting His word and His worship pour out of you? There may be someone within your circle of influence that needs to hear a word from God. Are you being a vessel God can use? Understand we are all containers for God. God fills us in different ways. We are to take the word that He is placing within us and sharing with us and be a pipeline to someone elses life. Don't just self consume. When we self consume ... we take what we are given and we run with it. We refuel ourselves and never fuel those around us. Take time to share what God is saying with others. Take time to lead them into a closer relationship with Him. Take time share your resources ... whether it be the church you go to, the type of Bible that you use, the books that you read, the sites that you go to.... whatever it is ... let it be available to those around you.
Today ... make it your determined purpose to be a vessel and a guide. A vessel for God to use and a guide that leads others to the well of God's word so that they can drink on their own. We have to want people to be mature enough in the things of God to drink on their own.
To be loyal?Do you know what it means to be loyal? To be loyal means to give or show “constant” support or allegiance.Are you being constant in your walk with God or is your loyalty up for question?To support means to sustain or withstand the pressure of something without giving way.We have to learn how to withstand the pressures of life without give way to the enemy.We are called to be loyal to God.To His plan and to His purpose in the earth.
In order for you not to give way to the enemy … you have to be strong.You have to be able to withstand pressure.The only way to withstand pressure is by reinforcement.We are to reinforce ourselves with the word.Therefore when something comes against your life to question who God is … you will have a ready answer that is based on God’s word.Understand the basis of the enemies attacks in your life is to get you to question what God has said.He did that to Eve in the garden.He tried it with Jesus.So understand he is going to try the same tactic on you.Undergird yourself with God’s word.The Bible tells us to put on the whole armor of God so that we can stand.Let the word of God reinforce your belief.
Are you walking in “momentary trust” or “continued trust”?Just because it didn't happen when you wanted it to doesn't mean God is not still at work in your situation.We have to learn how to have "continued trust".We tend to have "momentary trust".Trust for the moment rather than trust for the outcome.The word moment means a brief period of time, whereas, the word continued means to remain in existence or it implies the duration.
It’s time we stop living in momentary trust with God.Either we believe Him or we don’t.Faith says I believe you God will do it and I trust you God with the outcome.Faith does not say I give up and I quit because it is not looking like I want it to look.It says I understand that you see and know all things Father and I know that everything is working together for my good.
Always remember … “your faith is in God”.We tend to put our faith in the thing that we are asking for rather than in God.We get disappointed when we don’t see the thing happen because our faith is in the thing rather than in God.When your faith is in God … no matter what the outcome is … you don’t get disappointed because your faith is in Him and you know and understand that He is working everything together for your good.
Have you ever felt like asking God what now and what’s next?Where there are so many things happening and you are at a lost as to where to go and what to do?Do you sometimes feel like what’s the use and what is the purpose?Understand … God wants you to ask Him what’s next.He wants to know that He is your guide and the one that you are turning to in the wilderness experiences of your life.He wants you to seek Him for your purpose.For it is He that created you and He that designed the plan that He has for your life.He wants to know that you are not trying to do it your way … but that you are yielding your life to His plan and His way.
You were created by God for God.You were created to honor Him and to praise Him.Learn how to live for Him.In life there will always be things that try to pull us opposite who God is.These are things that will keep us in the wilderness of life.The major purpose of these things is to keep us from seeing and applying God’s word.There will be things that try to overtake us and cause us to question our belief.That is why we must live from the inside out.Where we allow the word that is within us to be our guide.Where we seek the word for the answers to our situations in life.A word for direction and a word for healing.Once we find the word … we have to learn how to stand steadfastly on that word.Not moving and not changing … just trusting that God will bring it to pass.The answers to life are resident in God’s word for our lives.
What happened to your joy?The love and the happiness that you once had.Is it gone based on what someone else said or on what someone else did?Is it gone based on what happened yesterday?Do you understand that the Bible says in Nehemiah 8:9 that the joy of the Lord is your strength?Do you understand that strength is defined as the power to resist attack?If you don’t have strength … you don’t have what you need to resist the attack of the enemy.
Psalm 51:12 says “Restore the joy of your salvation to me, and provide me with a spirit of willing obedience”.It may be time that you ask God for restoration. To restore your joy and to provide you with a spirit of willing obedience. There are many ways in which obedience comes. Sometimes we refuse to obey until something happens that causes us to obey God. Jonah was a good example of that. God's desire for us is to obey Him totally and fully without our obedience being a result of a trial or a test. So today make it your determined purpose to obey God based on the fact that you find pleasure and delight in His word and who He is.Amen.
God has told you what to do... the question now is how do you get it done. How do you get from fhe place of belief to the place of acquisition. The place where you actually acquire the blessings that He has in store for you. God loves you and He wants you to havs His best.
Understand we acquire the blessings of God by doing what is required. God requires that we trust Him. He requires that we obey Him. He requires that we wait on Him. It's time we get in position. Understand that every time you allow doubt in...it knocks you out of position.
Have you made mistakes?Did you fail to do it right the first time?Are you stuck?Are you asking God for deliverance?Understand God knows every mistake, every failure, every situation that has you locked up and locked in and He is ready to deliver you.Just ask Him for help.Ask Him to help you get from this place where you put yourself.This place that is a result of bad choices and bad decisions.He said in His word that His mercy is renewed every day.He said to call on Him and He will answer.He said that He would make a way where there seems to be no way.We have to understand that God will take our mess and make it a message for His use.
Take a moment to recommit.Take a moment to reconnect.Recommit and reconnect to God’s plan for your life.There are things that we desire to do and there are things that we must do for Him.Let your life and your choices be God based.Let His plan become your plan.He knows what is best for you.Ask Him to lead you and to guide you in what He would have to you to do and to say.It is only when we leave Him out of our choices that our lives become chaotic.Understanding that the word chaotic means in a state of confusion and disorder.
