PLANTING SEEDS: (Truth) Truth can only be found in God’s word. People can share their opinion on truth, which I am going to do with you in a moment during my “Coffee Cup Counseling” section but I encourage you to personally start getting into the word and studying scripture. It will open up a brand new perspective and new life for those that take the time to begin or rekindle their relationship with God.
Scripture Memorization : Luke 16:10
Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little with also be dishonest with much.
COFFEE CUP COUNSELING: (My Personal Perspective)
This is just my personal experience with scripture. It is just one of the ways that it has impacted my life and gives us an opportunity to interact with one another how it has personally changed our lives.
In my perspective, I’ve had some really big things to overcome in life. I didn’t start living for Christ until I was about 31 years old. It came as quite a shock to me and most everyone around me when I did. I barely attended church ever. Not that I didn’t believe in God, but I was like most people who had much better things to do in this world than sit in a pew that no one really wanted to sit in, to listen to some drawn out preacher preach some drawn out message. See the word before I came to Christ was dead to me, I didn’t live off it, I didn’t depend on it, so it really meant nothing to me.
Later, I would discover how desperately wrong I was. I needed the word of God, more than the air I breathed and if I would have spent a little more time with God than I did at Church, I might have lived life quite a bit different. But when I finally stopped running from God and started listening to him, big things started to change in my life. I realized he wasn’t the dictator I saw him as, I saw him as the Daddy that would never leave me or forsake me. One of the many voids the world left me with, that I desperately needed filled.
I’ve spent a lot of time in the last 12 years letting God put me on his potters wheel and shed those BIG habits, I created, off of me, but in the last 4-5 of those 12 years, I’ve found myself focusing on the small things. Those small things that aren’t so visible as the big things. I and others that knew me 12 yrs ago could easily see all those big things that God shed from me. I could easily boast about all the great big visible things that God has done in my life, and my families life, and he has! Yet, I know inside my heart are little things that God is working in. My temper, my disappointments, my heart, my words, my actions…all those little things we might disregard as works of God because they are not great big for the world to see.
Yet, we know that God speaks in a still small voice.
You see the world might see the great big things that God has done, the world might look for the great big signs, wonders and miracles to believe in God. The world might reject God when he puts his finger on areas of our belief system that doesn’t line up with His will. Yet, those that wait for the still small voice, and obey in areas of the still small things…those things that no one else might see, or give you a pat on the back for, or an applause ….those are the things that God watches for, when he wants to give you more to be trusted with because he loves you and wants the best for you.
So get into God’s word, speak truth and set the captives free.

PRAYER:
Thank you God that you not only care enough to pull out the big roots of bondage in our lives, but that you also pull out the tiny slivers. Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to be the voice of correction we clearly hear instead of the voice of condemnation that the world hears. We accept your truth and reject the lies the enemy spreads. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
Don’t forget to memorize and meditate on today’s Word! It’s absolute Truth!
