Snooze, You Loose

April 26, 2011 by Fritz

Moses answered the people, “… Stand firm … The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” … Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea” – Exodus 14:13a, 15b-16a

We want to stand around waiting for God to do something before we act but God says to move forward expecting him to make a way as we act.

It’s that way with having children, starting a career, even choosing faith – if you wait until everything is clear and you can afford it then it seldom happens.

A New Set of Duds!

April 25, 2011 by Fritz

All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. – Galatians 3:27 (CEB)

Our criminal history with God has been expunged,1 so why continually dredge it up in prayer? Before coming to Christ, Yes! we need to be aware we are sinners in need of redemption, but not afterwards!

Though I am a sinner in my sight2 I am not one in his! He see me redeemed, clean, and dressed in his beloved son! He begins his character changing work in me, making me more like Christ in my actions, not from guilt but gratitude.

Prayer: Father, I am grateful that though I see my failures you see your son who died for my sins and ever lives his life in and through me!

Sound Bite: I have given my life to Christ, I am redeemed, and I will not let anyone tell me different.

Grasshoppers!

April 24, 2011 by Fritz

[W]e saw the giants … and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. – Numbers 13:33

God sent spies into what was to be Israel’s future home land but they brought back a bad report — the whole nation lost their opportunity to enter because they saw themselves as “grasshoppers!”

God called them an army but they felt like grasshoppers! Isn’t that what happens to us? Our feelings don’t align with what God says and we lose out on divine opportunities! No more!

Prayer: Father, thank you that I am what you say, not what I feel. Help me to see in your word, the Bible, what I really am and what I really have in Christ. Amen.

Sound Bite: I’m no grasshopper!
