Perfect Day on the White River

It could never be a bad day of fishing, right? But when the fish are biting, it’s a perfect day. Even when the heat index is 100.

Spent the morning just below Beaver Dam on the White River. The Rainbow trout were biting good. Caught and released 6 of them.

I love God’s Creation and I am thankful for the beauty that He has given us in Northwest Arkansas. It’s a great place to vacation. An even greater place to live.

How to Have a Good Day

I read this thought from Levi Lusko this morning and it resonated with my spirit. Everything is a choice. Including how we go through our everyday lives. It is all about how we decide to start our day.

LISTEN TO THESE WORDS FROM LEVI LUSKO:

It’s hard to have a bad day that starts well. Not impossible, but you make it harder for things to go sideways and your attitude to get sour if things begin on the right foot. If you start your months well, your weeks well, and your days well, you position yourself to receive from God all he has for you. A lot of people sit under open heavens with closed windows. So what does it look like to open them up? At the start of the month, give God your first fruits; at the start of the week, gather together with God’s people; and at the start of the day, get in God’s presence, and then come what may, you’ll have already had a great day!

The Psalmist said, “This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.” Start your day in God’s presence and learn to rejoice always, and again I say rejoice. This was the Apostle Paul’s secret to life. You cannot go wrong by beginning each day in prayer and Bible reading. It will shape your day, especially if you include thanksgiving and rejoicing. Now, have a great day!

Passion for God’s House

John 2:17 NLT, “Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: “Passion for God’s house will consume me.”

In our society today we have a passion for a lot of different things. Sports, education, media and movies, food, and many other things that bring us pleasure. Jesus was known, from the beginning of His ministry, for His passion for God’s House.

Here is a fulfillment of a prophecy,” Passion for God’s House will consume me.” This begs the question, “Does a passion for Gods House consume us?”. If we are passionate about things of this world, how much more should we be passionate about the things of God.

We should be passionate for God’s house in the following areas:

1. Passionate to GO to God’s House.

Are we faithful to His House or do we let other things keep us away? We must be careful that we don’t let things keep us from corporate worship.

2. Passionate to PRAY for God’s House.

How often do you pray for your church?  If we belong to a church then we should pray for the church, its pastors and leaders. There is no greater way to impact the church than to pray for it. Prayer equals power.

3. Passionate to GROW in God’s House.

There is an old saying that says we should bloom where we are planted.  Are you planted and blooming in church? It is difficult to mature spiritually apart from the church. Now, this doesn’t mean that it is the church’s job to make you grow. You have to feed yourself. But growth happens at a greater pace when you are linked with other believers. Being taught and ministered to. You grow when you are feeding yourself at home and then blooming in a Bible teaching congregation.

4. Passionate to SERVE in God’s House.

If you belong to a church, are you serving in that church? Everyone is called to ministry. We must use our giftings to serve others. People who are passionate for Gods house serve in God’s House.

5. Passionate to BUILD God’s House.

When is the last time you invited someone to church? It is not solely the pastor’s responsibility to build God’s House, it is everyone’s. The pastor equips the saints for the work of the ministry and the saints minister. It means that every church member is a builder. Building by inviting and building by serving.

We all need to grow in these areas. Find where you are lacking and work diligently to grow in passion for God’s House. In a couple of weeks this will be a part of our Commit to Jesus. Series. “I am Committed to God’s House.”
