From the Inside Out

"The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: the world, and they that dwell therein." -Psalm 24:1


Ministry is good. Doing is good. Being busy can be good. But during all of this you cannot forget what's most important!
Sitting at Jesus' feet. Our personal devotion to the God we love, and Who loves us fully. The time spent investing in our RELATIONSHIP with our Savior. Listening to Him, sharing with Him, and enjoying a life spent WITH Him.
It's the basis for any positive action, and the source of strength that allows you to keep going.
When this part of out faith is missing nothing matters. Ministry becomes empty, volunteering becomes stressful, and being busy sucks out life away. You cannot forget the most important part of your faith, your RELATIONSHIP with God.

"The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people
with peace." -Psalm 29:11

We get SO distracted with what's going on on the outside. Making sure the PEOPLE see the we're acting right, walking right, talking right. For the wrong reasons.
We want to LOOK like something we're obviously not, because we don't want anyone to know we're struggling.
True godliness is from the INSIDE OUT!
You cannot fake it, schedule it, or plan for it. It's not something you can "work into" your life. It has to BE your life!
Peace is a very important characteristic of the Christian walk. It's one of the most attractive things about our faith. Because so many people are desperate for it.
Peace is a BLESSING. As it says in Psalm 29:11. Peace is a RESULT, the outcome of what's going on INSIDE of you.
When you are relying upon Jesus for everything. Trusting Him with ALL of your life. That's when the love, peace, and joy begin to burst out of you.
He's filling your heart with all that you need because you've finally let Him IN.
And when you are filled, then you have something to give.
