A great story from a blog I read today:
"According to legend, British conductor Sir Thomas Beecham once saw a distinguished-looking woman in a hotel foyer. Believing he knew her but unable to remember her name, he paused to talk with her. As the two chatted, he vaguely recollected that she had a brother. Hoping for a clue, he asked how her brother was doing and whether he was still working at the same job. “Oh, he’s very well,” she said, “And still king.”
Dear reader, do you know your King?

Testimony of two Iranian Christians released from Iranian prison.
Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back. ”
Luke 6:38 NLT
Psalms 84:9-12 TPT
God, your wrap-around presence is our defense. In your kindness look upon the faces of your anointed ones.
For just one day of intimacy with You is like a thousand days of joy rolled into one! I’d rather stand at the threshold in front of the Gate Beautiful, ready to go in and worship my God, than to live my life without You in the most beautiful palace of the wicked.
For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping Himself around me like a shield, He is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory. Those who walk along his paths with integrity will never lack one thing they need, for He provides it all!
O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what euphoria fills those who forever trust in You!
When weight training you shouldn't just work the muscles that look good at the beach, each muscle should be worked equally.
So it it with the faith, you shouldn't just improve the areas of your life that look good in church. You should work every part of it: faith, peace, joy, love, individual giftings and callings etc.
“But every one of the Israelites went down
to the Philistines to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, or his sickle.”
1 Samuel 13:20
We are engaged in a great war with the Philistines of evil.
Every weapon within our reach must be used.
Preaching, teaching, praying, giving—all must be brought into action,
and talents that have been thought too common for service
must now be employed.
--Charles Spurgeon
