Time for what you may ask. To get connected with God and pursue His plans and purposes for our lives. Time to do what God is asking you to do even if or when you don’t feel qualified. One thing I learned over the years when I tried to resist God’s calling because I felt unqualified was that God doesn’t call the qualified but rather qualifies the called. Are you ready? Would you respond, “I was born ready”? If you got the ultimatum that it’s now or never, how would you respond? I know that ultimatum got my attention many years back and has helped me be more responsive to God’s calling, even when I feel unqualified because I know He did it before and He can do it again!
God’s Time:
Let’s be the dads who remember God’s timing is perfect! He rarely early and He’s never late, He right on time! So today, let’s make the decision to lean into what God is calling for us to be and do so that in and through it all He will receive the praise, the honor, and the glory in Jesus’s name.
Today’s Verse of the Day:
Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:10 AMP
Let’s embark on the journey of becoming the kind of fathers who, in following Jesus’s teachings, remember and study how to pray. Firstly, let’s begin by praising our Heavenly Father. Subsequently, we should invite God’s perfect will and plan into our lives, thereby allowing His kingdom to reign in our lives and on Earth, just as it does in heaven. Furthermore, let’s acknowledge that the Earth belongs to the Lord, and He is our ultimate provider for everything in it.
Moreover, let’s recognize the immense power of forgiveness, not only for ourselves but also for extending it freely to others. Additionally, it’s crucial for us to grasp the perils of the world and draw nearer to God. Let’s beseech Him to prevent us from succumbing to temptation and to deliver us from the clutches of the devil, the evil one. This way, our lives will radiate for His glory, and He will receive the praise, honor, and glory in Jesus’s name.
