I declare today that my strength and energy is in the Lord! I have strength & energy beyond my weariness. His power sustains me to faithfully run the race before me and consistently walk out my life to His glory!

As I embrace what God has for me today, may my heart and mind always stay fixed on Him. May I be a person of integrity, honesty & fairness serving the Lord faithfully and sustained by Him. May I not fear my future with the Lord, but embrace it joyfully and expectantly.

Luke 14:28-30 ESV -- 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’

Hebrews 3:4 ESV - "For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God." We can trust God's blueprint for our lives!

In a world of change, our faith is built on solid bedrock! This is really good news! Think on this, and give thanks to God Almighty!

“So Moses told the people of Israel everything just as the LORD told Moses…” This morning we will all take our places and share with our people. What will we say? Do not stand and speak without words from God! Do not stand and speak and not share everything from God, even the hard parts! Do not try to fix or change the words the Lord has given. Just be prepared and then proclaim! You’ve been lifted up before the Father!

Be encouraged every day as you pass what you know in Christ to another person and start the process!

How much does God love you this morning? Ponder on that while you prepare today!

If you are struggling this morning, don’t think you are alone. So many Sunday mornings we all find ourselves at a place where what we are called on to do and what we need to do may be at odds. There are times when preparation and presentation do not meet!

There may be many reasons we will do what we do, but the main goal is always that we are called to lift up the name of Jesus! To use our opportunity to herald truth that will it be used by God to accomplish His plan!
