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.
Why are you stopping right here? Why are you losing your faith? Why are failing to trust and believe what God has said? It is God's desire for you to trust Him. He wants you to believe Him. He wants You to walk in obedience so that He can honor His Word in your life.
Move forward in God. Behind you is your past. Stop dragging the pain of your past into the hope of your future. Stop letting what happened cause you to doubt what God has said will happen. One definition for the word stop is leave or discontinue. It's time to leave the past behind and to bring an end to allowing it to affect your future.
Have you ever run into people who only come to you when they need something? How does it make you feel? How do you think God feels when wee fail to listen to Him? When we fail to do what He is telling us to do. Yet He is full of grace and full of mercy even in our inconsistencies.
Do you understand that inconsistent means unpredictable and unreliable. Is that how you want God to see you? Or do you want Him to see you as being consistent in your prayer life and consistent in your praise? Take note of how you feel when others only come to you in their time of need and make it a point to go to God more just because you want to praise Him rather than wanting something from Him.
Are you letting the unresolved problems cause you to walk in frustration? When you are frustrated, you are disappointed and dissatisfied. What has disappointed you? What have left you feeling dissatisfied? Are you disappointed because you didn't get the result of your faith yet or are you still holding on to God's Word and letting your faith stand?
It's time you stand fully and totally on faith. You have to keep your mind stayed on God and His promises. He has promised you that He will work everything together for your good. If He has made you this promise, it doesn't matter what has happened in the past or what the outcome seems to be right now, because God's promises are true. It all will work together for your good. You have to trust Him and stop getting frustrated by what is not happening right now.
Unforgettable moments. In life there are unforgettable moments and then there are moments that we would love to forget about. Those times that we messed up and didn't quite think everything through. Those moments that we feel as though we are paying for right now. But there is one thing you have to understand, God forgives you. His mercy is renewed every day so that He can forgive every mistake that we have made yesterday, today, and forever.
Take time to make new unforgettable moments with God. Take time to get to know Him. Have a worship experience with the King of kings and Lord of lords. Worship Him like never before so that your remembrance of your worship experience will be unforgettable.
Life can be full of difficulties. It can sometimes be very hard to handle the issues of life. We encounter so many things as we walk our road of destiny. Sometimes it is hurt, sometimes pain, sometimes sickness, and sometimes anxiety. It doesn't matter what the issue is, God can handle it.
We need to grow to the point of understanding that no matter what we are going through, God can handle it. We need to learn how to surrender it all to Him. It is as though we want to nurture our pain. The word nurture means to keep a feeling in the mind for a long time, allowing it to grow or deepen. We have to stop allowing the pain, hurt, and anxiety to grow and deepen in our lives. We need to learn how to release it all to God so that He can handle it.
Life lessons are not always easy. Do you remember correcting your child and your child having a hard time accepting the correction? The tears that fell? The distress that your child experienced from the mere fact that you corrected them?
If so, take a moment and understand God's correction. Sometimes it may hurt and you may want to cry. Sometimes you won't understand why you can't have what you want when you want it. But that doesn't negate God's love for you. Just as you as a parent can discern what is best for your child, God knows what is best for us. Learn how to trust the correction of the Father. Trust that He knows what you can and cannot handle at every given moment of your life.
God's power and your praise. God is not looking for you to do anything on your own. Without Him we are weak vessels. However, with Him we can do all things. We have to learn how to rest in His power. We have to understand that all things were created by Him ... for Him. The Bible says:
Colossians 1:16
- For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are
in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him,
and for him:
Once we understand that when He created us, He created everything we would ever need. Again, "all" things were created by Him ... the visible and the invisible. So the things we need in our lives that we can see and those things we cannot see yet.
We must learn how to rest in His promise and praise in His presence. Praise Him because You know that He has already created whatever you need in life.
