Revised Edition Part Six
Welcome back to Time With God, Part Six of Eight. If you haven’t read Part One through Four yet, I encourage you to catch up here, here, here , here, here, and here.. This journey is transformative, and starting from the beginning will help you engage fully with the message.
We live in a world governed by time, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and so on. But how much of that time are we dedicating to God? While time is a gift, it’s easy to let distractions steal it away.
Do you eagerly anticipate your Time With God? Or does life get in the way? Spending Time With God, through prayer, worship, and Bible reading, should be our highest priority.
Are you still?
Are you taking time to truly connect with God? Or have you been distracted, missing out on the transformative power of being in His presence?
As we continue this series, I encourage you to reflect on your Time With God. Let’s prioritize it together. Don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next part of this life-changing journey.
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing..
We give all glory and honor to God for His countless gifts and blessings. Every single day, we are reminded of His greatness and the abundance of good that He has allowed us to experience. We praise and worship Him for His generosity and grace, knowing that all the goodness in our lives is due to Him. We strive to live a life of gratitude and humility, recognizing that it is only through His guidance and grace that we can be successful and content in our lives. We are eternally grateful for all that God has bestowed upon us, and we give Him glory and honor for all our blessings.
God has given us permission to do the things we have done and are doing. He told us He wants us to do them, that it is our free will. He already knew about them, and He knew what the outcome would be. He gave us the will to do it, but He also shows us the way if we trust Him. We may not understand why He allows certain things, but He has a plan for us, and He will see us through it. We must remember that God is with us, and He will bring us through any situation. He will provide us with strength and courage if we have faith in Him. That is why we must rely on Him and put our trust in Him.
We have so much to be thankful for. A simple fact of being alive is cause for immense gratitude and praise to God. No matter how difficult life may seem or how much you dislike your current situation, God knows your heart and has allowed you to make your own choices. He is waiting for you to surrender to Him, so that He can be your strength and guide you through the decisions you make. He is faithful and will stand by your side as you navigate life.
Matthew 24:13 – New International Version
but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
We can always be thankful for the fact that we are still alive and that we have the opportunity to make our own choices. God watches over us, waiting for us to admit that we need His help, and to surrender ourselves to Him. His mercy and grace are available to us anytime we need it. We can simply say, “I surrender!” and He will provide us with the strength to continue on.
Are you ready? Are you ready to stop living life your way and live your life the way God has planned it, as He intended it? I am ready, and I encourage you to do the same. Let us surrender our lives to God and walk in faith and obedience to His will for our lives. Let us live the life He has planned for us and experience the joy, peace, and purpose that He has for us. Let us live a life of faith and follow God’s plan for our lives.
The WWJD symbol and logo have become an iconic representation of the Christian faith, representing a call to action for Christians to emulate the life of Jesus in their everyday lives. The acronym stands for “What Would Jesus Do?” and encourages Christians to ask themselves this question whenever they face a difficult decision. I may have to face the possibility of losing some friends and contacts because of my faith. People may point their fingers and talk behind my back, but that doesn’t faze me anymore. I know I am doing the right thing by standing up for my beliefs, and I am proud to be a Christian. I may post religious messages and content on social media, and I’m prepared to accept any criticism that comes my way. I’m not afraid to show my faith in public, no matter what the consequences may be. I’m not going to let anyone else dictate my beliefs or how I choose to express them. Let them judge me, let them mimic me; let them say what they want. What would Jesus do? Jesus would show love and compassion for everyone, even those who are not so kind. That’s what I strive to do. I will love them regardless, I will pray for them if they ask, but I will no longer be living for the world’s approval. I am here to be obedient to my God and spend Time With Him, to show Him my love and devotion. Even if others cannot understand, God is changing me, and I trust that He will change them too. I will not give in to the pressures of the world and will focus my attention on being obedient to God. He is my rock and my salvation, and I will put my trust in Him.
It was great to see my former co-worker when he visited my job a few days ago. He often comes to visit the old gang and hang out, so it wasn’t a surprise to see him there. On this particular day, he walked up to me and said, “Hello Pastor Willie,” and asked if I was going to become a Pastor. I had been posting a lot of religious content on social media, and my friend obviously had noticed. I’m not sure what his purpose was: was he wondering if I had an intention or plan in mind, or was he trying to be rude, making a joke at my expense to get a laugh from the other guys in the shop? Either way, it was a strange interaction that left me feeling a bit uncomfortable. My response to the suggestion that I might be trying to portray myself as a Pastor is that I’m not trying to do that. I’m simply sharing what God puts in my heart on social media, and if I read something that moves me or think might move someone else, I’m likely to share it in the hope that it brings them closer to God. I don’t have any agenda other than that, and I’m not claiming to be a Pastor or anything like that. I’m just someone who loves God, and I want to spread His message in whatever way I can.
2 Timothy 2:15 – Holman Christian Standard Bible
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth.
I admit that I do not know God’s plan for me right now. I am nothing more than a humble servant, a sinner who desires a relationship with the Lord. I firmly believe that I was created for a purpose – to honor and glorify God, to keep a relationship with Him, and to bask in His presence for eternity. I cannot live my life on my own; I need the guidance of the Lord to show me the way. I want to live my life in accordance with His will, allowing Him to direct my path and trusting in His divine plan for me.
I want to take a moment to acknowledge and accept that I cannot do life alone. I need something bigger than myself, something that will always be there for me no matter what I face. I have come to recognize that Jesus is the only One who can lead me to the Father, and the only name given to us to be saved. He is the only way, and I am grateful to have found Him.
John 6:44 – New Century Version
The Father is the One who sent me. No one can come to me unless the Father draws him to me, and I will raise that person up on the last day.
Contrary to what some people think or say, I don’t just post nonstop religious things on social media. I still post music, jokes, and pictures of my vacation trips, tours, and meals. Nevertheless, why should it matter what I or anyone for that matter posts? Don’t let the people who are so quick to judge and criticize you for your Christian life and your Godly ways stop you from doing what makes you happy. You should be able to express your faith in your own way without feeling intimidated or ashamed. Your faith should be a source of joy and strength for you, and it should never stop you from living life to the fullest.
It can be easy to let the opinions of others cloud our judgement when it comes to faith and our relationship with The Lord. Don’t let those who point fingers at your beliefs get in the way of your relationship with God. He is your friend forever, always and evermore. He is a constant and comforting presence in our lives, no matter what. On the other hand, so-called “friends” can come and go, and they won’t be there for you forever. Don’t let their opinions shake your faith. Keep God at the forefront of your life and he won’t steer you wrong. He is a faithful companion who will always be there for you, no matter what.
Keep God at the forefront of your life and he won’t steer you wrong
