Yes He Can by Cain

I Can Do All Things by Jarica Jamison

Proverbs 4:25 TPT — Set your gaze on the path before you. With fixed purpose, looking straight ahead, ignore life’s distractions.

I enjoy reading different translations of scripture. I have recently discovered TPT, “The Passion Translation.” The translation I commonly use is NIV, “New International Versión.” Proverbs 4:25 NIV — Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.

What do you think a  “fixed purpose” means?

Fixed is defined as not fluctuating or varying. While purpose is defined as the reason for which something is done or created.

When we look at a tree or flower, we know that God created it with a purpose, just like he created each of us for a purpose. Through God’s word we gain wisdom. It is our guide to maneuvering through life. No matter what task is at hand, it is already fixed in place by our omnipotent God. He chose you for this task. God knows and understands there will be distractions. 

Will you go confidently today with the mindset that God chose you for a fixed purpose? 

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for creating me with a fixed purpose. Help me to go confidently about my day with Godly confidence. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

Isaiah 60:1 NIV — Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.

In a 24 hour period the sun rises and the sun sets. Each day we see this repeated again and again. Are you living on repeat? Are you just going through the motions to check another day off the calendar?

Our days can become so monotonous if we allow them to. The good news: God has called us for so much more. We are God’s remnant and He has so many glorious plans for each of us. I encourage us all to get off repeat mode so that we can arise and shine through each new day.

I encourage you to listen to the song, Arise & Shine by New Wine. We are the remnant that will not be shaken but rather, standing firm.

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for another sunrise and sunset. I am thankful for the blessings that each new day holds. I seek to shine Your light today. In Jesus’s Name I pray, Amen.

Psalms 119:105 NIV — Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

We can choose to see the light of the moon or the darkness of night. We can be open to seeing God’s word light our path or we can be focused on  worldly views which may cause us to stumble. 

Is there a scripture that God has laid on your heart to help guide you?

A scripture that has been close to Deborah and I over the years is Isaiah 43:19 NIV — See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

Don’t miss out on seeing what God is doing today! Will you perceive it?

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for Your word that lights my path. Help me to keep my eyes, ears, heart and mind open for what you are doing today. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

A staircase can be used for both ascending and descending. Moving downward tends to be less daunting. Through our mindset we can perceive the week ahead with an “I can” or “I can’t” attitude. What will you choose? 

The Bible says we can do ALL THINGS with God’s strength. Just like this staircase has a hand railing, God is holding our hand every step of the way. When in doubt this week, whisper “all things.” I encourage us all to write it on a Post-it note and place it somewhere that can be seen throughout our day.

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for equipping me to do all things through You oh Lord, who gives me strength. Help me to have an “I can” attitude today. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

Through rest and reset, we reclaim a proper perspective on our lives. Hopefully, we all found time this past weekend to rest so that we can reset for the week ahead. 

When I see a basketball hoop, I see a challenge. We can choose to let our challenges get the best of us or we can choose to reclaim that perspective and take on our challenges with God’s help.

Let’s open our eyes to the blessings God has for us instead of focusing on our challenges. 

Let’s position ourselves for the blessing. Dribble the ball and shoot for the best! To dribble is to take the ball forward. 

Will you move forward in what God has in store for you today? Take some time today to move forward in meditation. 

Psalm‬s ‭34:8‬ ‭MSG‬ — Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see — how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him.
