Pursue what matters most

In the book of Romans, Paul begs Christians to give their entire lives over to God because God sacrificed everything for them. Jesus gave up His life so that we could experience His unending love and grace. We cheapen His gifts if we refuse to align our lives with the way Jesus lived.

But we give our lives to God by making Him the one thing we pursue above anything else.

So here are 5 steps you can practice—right now—to help you put God first.

Give thanks

“We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds.”

Psalms 75:1 ESV

Right now, take a moment to thank God for what He’s already done for you. Reflect on His faithfulness, and recount the stories you have seen and heard of His wonderful power.

Spend 5 minutes in silence

“Abide in me, and I in you.”

John 15:4 ESV

Abiding in Jesus starts with stillness. So right now, pause, take a deep breath, and give anything concerning you over to God. Spend 5 minutes centering your heart on the One who matters most.

Remember Whose you are

“You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV

God loves you. The price He paid for you cost Him everything. So remind yourself of Whose you are, and reflect on some of the things God says about you.

Meditate on God’s Word

“Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.”

Psalms 119:97 ESV

One of the best ways to find out how Jesus wants you to live is by spending time in Scripture. As you do, ask God to speak to you through His Word about what His will is.

Focus on what is excellent

“…If there is any excellence … think about these things.”

Philippians 4:8 ESV

You have been given the mind of Christ. If you’re not sure what you should think about, try asking yourself: What is praiseworthy? What thoughts and actions would honor God?

Make a list of whatever comes to mind, and pursue those things.

By practicing these steps every day, you can create habits that will help you pursue intimacy with God every day, and put Him first above everything else.

“Keeping In Step with Christ” This 1-minute devotion explains why Christ told us to take His YOKE and 4 ways we can make sure we're doing it:

We always get out of step when we try to bear our own burdens, solve our own problems, and operate in our own power.

We need a yoke* that connects us with Christ so we can move in step with Him:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Yoked to Christ, we walk where He walks:

1. Dwelling on His Word:

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly” (Colossians 3:16a).

2. Rejecting popular worldly philosophies:

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” (Colossians 2:8).

3. Following His purposes:

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).

4. Walking in His power and strength:

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).

Jesus says, "Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be" (John 12:26).

Best of all, when we move in step with Christ, we find rest for our souls.

-----------------

*Yoke: "zygós – properly, a yoke; a wooden bar placed over the neck of a pair of animals so they can pull together; (figuratively) what unites (joins) two people to move (work) together as one."

For a deeper understanding of taking Christ's yoke:

•Which yoke

•Yoked but unburdened

•Learn from Him

•Jesus invites us to come take and learn

•Come

John Powell you are so cruel for 4:24-5:26 in As Long As He's Safe. What the actual fuck.

#in this scene Hiccup says goodbye to Toothless and lets him go free to lead all the dragons and this parallels the scene in HTTYD 2 of #Hiccup ''finding'' Toothless and telling him how much he loves and appreciates him as Hiccup frees Toothless from Drago to save #their home and all of the dragons. 4:47-5:26 of ''As Long As He's Safe'' is specifically a repeat of 1:28-1:51 in ''Toothless Found'' #and it just absolutely fucking kills me I can't even emphasize how much emotional damage I get from this 1:28-1:51 of #''Toothless Found'' is my favorite part and the strongest you hear the main thematic melody of HTTYD 2 #there's another part from 00:42-00:57 that is the same melody that also reflects HTTYD 2 where Hiccup is taken off of Toothless #and Toothless falls into the icy ocean trying to desperately get back to save Hiccup #This plays in 2:12-2:44 of ''Toothless Lost'' and in the HTTYD:THW scene where Hiccup sacrifices himself and falls off of the Light Fury #so that she can save Toothless #so that's just another parallel where John Powell mercilessly ripped my heart out 👍👍👍👍 #I could seriously write an entire essay for the parallels of ''Toothless Found'' and ''As Long As He's Safe'' and cry like a little baby #I've said it once and I'll say it again ''Toothless Found'' is my favorite soundtrack piece in the entire world and more people need to- #appreciate the HTTYD 2 and HTTYD:THW soundtracks they are as equally good as the first once and each one incorporates the- #other main melodic themes of the others and it's just so incredible and emotional to hear #I'm in a music mood tonight if you couldn't tell #John powell #httyd thw soundtrack #httyd thw #httyd soundtrack

Lessons from Cain Lesson 02: Two Conversations

Did you know the Bible records two conversations between Cain and God?  Today we are going to study these two conversations in-depth.

Let’s read together Genesis 4:6-7.

In our previous lesson we discussed why God rejected Cain's offering, but accepted Abel’s offering.  The offering was a symbol of salvation.  We cannot save ourselves through our own works.  We need a Savior.

Nevertheless, Cain was upset his offering was not accepted by God.  Cain had offered the best fruits and vegetables from his hard work and labor in the fields.

Let’s read together Proverbs 11:2 and 16:18.

God knew Cain’s pride was wounded by this rejection.  When God asked Cain why he was angry, God was warning Cain not to let his pride get the better of him.   God let Cain know if he offered the proper sacrifice, then it would be accepted.

Let’s read together Deuteronomy 30:19; Psalm 139:23-24; 1 Corinthians 10:13; and James 1:12-13.

God saw Cain was at a precipice.  Cain had a fateful decision to make.  He could either give into his pride and resentment, which would lead him down the path of sin, or  Cain could let go of his pride and resentment.  Cain could obtain a sheep from Abel (perhaps for some fruits and vegetables) and offer a proper sacrifice to God.

God foresaw the tragedy that would come if Cain persisted in his pride.  This conversation teaches us that we are only slaves to sin because we choose to commit sin.  We have the power of choice - to do good or evil, right or wrong.

Let’s read together Genesis 4:8.

Tragically, Cain was unable to let go of his pride.  He murdered his brother Abel, who had done nothing wrong.

Let’s read together Genesis 4:9; Psalm  32:5; Proverbs 28:13; and 1 John 1:9.

Why did God ask Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?”  God already knew the answer.  Just like with Adam and Eve, God was giving Cain a chance to confess his sins.  However, unlike his parents, Cain remained defiant and lied to God.  Cain basically asked God, “Why should I be concerned about Abel?”

Let’s read together Genesis 4:10-14; Exodus 21:12; and Revelation 6:9-11.

God confronted Cain with his sin.  Cain was a murderer.  Abel was innocent and had done nothing worthy of death.  Justice demanded Cain be put to death. 

However, God did not strike Cain dead.  God instead chose to curse Cain.  The ground would no longer yield good fruit and vegetables as it did before.  Cain would no longer be able to take pride in his ability to till the earth.  Cain would no longer be a farmer, but he would live the life of a nomad, wandering from place to place.  

In the hardness of Cain’s heart, he did not repent of his sin.  Rather, Cain complains about the severity of his punishment.

Let’s read together Genesis 4:15; Leviticus 19:18; Numbers 14:18; and Romans 12:19.

Why did God put a mark on Cain to preserve his life?  God was demonstrating his longsuffering mercy.   God hoped Cain would one day come to his senses as in the parable of the prodigal son.  God wanted Cain to confess his sins, repent, and return to Him. 

The mark of Cain was a precursor to the cities of refuge in the time of Moses.  God does not want us to take vengeance on our own.  He will judge in His own time.

Let’s read together Psalm 103:10-12; Romans 8:12-13; 1 John 1:9; Hebrews 7:25; and Revelation 3:12

God’s conversations with Cain teach us two important lessons.  First, we can have victory over sin!  Jesus Christ can give you victory if you are willing to rely on His strength and not your own.  Secondly, Jesus will forgive any and all sins if you sincerely confess your sins and ask Him for forgiveness.

Friend, will you take these two lessons to heart?

Four Dimensions, Deeper Love: How God Loves You Back

Four Dimensions, Deeper Love: How God Loves You Back

In Ephesians, Paul mentions the four dimensions of God’s love as if everyone knew about them; so tell me, have YOU ever thought about the four dimensions of Christ’s love? In his book of superlatives, Paul talks about where God’s love is planted, and what it looks like. Even if you think you have love all figured out, his description is a revelation that will push your boundaries and redefine…
