Blessed in Low Places

Good morning! We are looking for greatness in high places, but God starts his Greatest Blessings in Low Places. Don't be accused of missing the blessing that sits right under your nose.
God birthed a miracle in a manger. (Matthew 1:18-25) It's not always the ideal place where God will send your blessing.

God will take you to a low place that will alter your perspective. You start to see all of the things that God protected you from while navigating to that low place. He protected you from dangers seen and unseen. You even see the foes that were in your presence that never harmed you. (Psalms 110:1) Yes it's the low place that brings the greatest blessings.
Don't spend too much time seeing the tragedy of the low place, focus on God. God has the keys to your blessings. Spend time in prayer, meditation and studying his word in your low place. Ask God to give you strength to develop the 4 R's that will equip you in being Blessed and Highly Favored.
1) Receive the word of God. If God said it, that settles it. It will come to pass. (Hebrews 11:6)
2) Resilient - you are being set up for a come back! Walk it out! (Psalms 98:1)
3) Rejection is a jump start to your blessing and it does not determine your future. God has your future in His hands. (Jeremiah 29:11)
4) Redemption - the thing that is in you right now, will deliver you! The battle has already been won. (2 Chronicles 20:15)
You are blessed and highly favored! Receive it! Walk it out! Claim it!

Good Evening ! God has a stimulus package. If you put God first, He will put you first (Matthew 6:33). It is going to cost you everything to the do the things that God has called you to do. If you can bear the weight of your cross, He will bear the weight of your crown (Luke 9:23). Trust Him with your destiny! He has something divine in store for you that is beyond all that you can imagine or think (Ephesians 1:4). There is no plan that you can layout for yourself that surpasses the plans God has for you (Proverbs 3:5-6). God will put you in a situation where your faith is tested. You may only see a glimpse of the situation and wonder why you are there, but you have to give everything to it (Hebrews 11:6). Be humble, and fear the Lord as there is indeed honor and a reward in your reverence for Him (Proverbs 22:4). What have you sought the Lord for in your personal time of prayer and devotion? What is it that He has promised you? Put Him first in all things, and persevere - stay in His

Beware of The Green Eyed Monster

Envy has no place here.         Never before have we had such immediate access into each other’s lives.  While the connections we strengthen through social media are meaningful, there is something to watch out for: envy.  It is said that “Jealousy comes from counting others’ blessings instead of our own.” Many of us feel genuine gratitude as we get to catch up with our friends and family’s pictures, growth and accomplishments on social media, and elsewhere.  But, too often we allow thoughts of comparison and hints of envy to creep in as well. Constant comparison is envy’s gateway.  Have you found yourself looking at someone’s anniversary pictures and wishing your relationship was as solid?  Have you and your wife struggled with infertility only to be saddened by constant pictures of beautiful, thriving babies?  Shakespeare wrote, “Oh beware...of jealousy!  It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock.”  Feelings of jealousy and envy must be healed; they are not worthy of our pea
