God Promises To Be Faithful!

We serve a faithful God — He is the God of more than enough! Not only does He promise to meet our needs, He promises to give us enough to meet the needs of others, too.

2 Corinthians 9:10 (NAS) says, “Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness”
When we are sower’s — when we give of our resources, our time, talent, finances and possessions — God promises to multiply those resources so that we can continue to be a blessing to the people around us. We might look at what we have in our hand today and think, “This doesn’t look like much.” But understand that when we give God what we have, He’ll turn it into more than enough! The Bible tells us that Jesus fed a crowd of over 5,000 people by multiplying the lunch of a small boy, and He can multiply whatever we have in our hand, too.

Today, dedicate what you have to the Lord. Ask Him where and how you can be an effective sower so that you can be a blessing to others. As you do, He’ll continue to pour out His blessing and abundance on you, and you will live fulfilled and satisfied all the days of your life.

Remember 2 Corinthians 9:10 (NAS), “Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness”!

Don't lose your peace!


We’ve all been in seasons of life when we feel like things aren’t going our way, or we’re not where we want to be. In these times, it’s tempting to let discouragement and doubt come in and take away the peace and excitement you once had.

David says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4, NIV)

You may be in one of those seasons right now, struggling to truly be happy where you are. But this is not the way God wants you to live. He tells us in scripture that even in the difficult times, He is with us. Even when we can’t see a way out, He will make a way through. Even when things don’t turn out the way we planned, He has a plan to turn things around for our good.

The key is, don’t get upset about your circumstances. Instead, be determined to walk through to victory. Declare by faith that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Declare by faith that you are rising higher. Keep standing, keep believing and keep hoping because God has a bright future in store for you!

Takes More Than A Snickers Bar!

In the natural, what do you do when you’re hungry and just not sure what will satisfy you? You may try to think of what to eat, but maybe you’re not sure what will hit the spot. Makes me think of those Snicker’s candy bar commercials where the person acts weird until they eat a Snickers and satisfy their hunger.

Spiritual hunger works the same way. You may feel a restlessness or unsettledness, but you can’t quite figure out what will satisfy it. You may try to fill that need with other things — food, addictions, people — but only God can fill that hunger.

Matthew 5:6, (“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled”) tells us what will fill that hunger in our soul — righteousness. When we hunger and thirst for righteousness, which is God’s way of doing things, we will be spiritually satisfied. But just like we have to take time to eat in the natural, we have to take time to “eat” or partake of God’s righteousness.

When we spend time in prayer, worship and reading His Word, we are partaking of His righteousness. We are filling our soul. The more time we spend with Him, the more He will fill us and satisfy our hunger all the days of our life! Oh, and it lasts longer than a Snickers bar!
