God Wants Our Whole Heart...πŸ™πŸŒΏπŸŒΌπŸ’žπŸ•Š

Today’s Word:

Amaziah, king of Judah, had a promising start. Scripture tells us he "did what was right in the eyes of the Lord," and that sounds like a good report. But then comes the catch — “but not wholeheartedly.”

This is a sobering reminder that *God isn’t just looking for right actions — He’s looking for right hearts*. It’s possible to obey outwardly while being distant inwardly. We can serve in ministry, tithe, attend church, avoid "big sins" — and still be doing it all from a place of obligation, pride, fear, or routine rather than love and surrender.

Amaziah's story goes on to show how his half-heartedness led to pride, idolatry, and ultimately, his downfall. His lack of wholehearted devotion opened the door to compromise. He obeyed some of the way, some of the time. But *partial obedience is still disobedience in God's eyes*.

Can we be saved this way? Salvation is by grace, not works — but real faith shows up in a surrendered heart. God wants more than behavior; He wants love, trust, and devotion.

Today, don’t settle for doing just enough. *God is worthy of all of you*. When your heart is fully His, your life will follow.

Today’s Prayer:

Father, thank You for this beautiful and blessed day. Father, I don't want to serve You half-heartedly. Cleanse me of divided motives. Give me a heart that seeks You fully — not out of fear or routine, but out of love and trust. I surrender all I am to You. In Jesus Name, Amen.

A River...πŸ™πŸŒΏπŸŒΌπŸ’žπŸ•Š

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater Isaiah 55:10 KJV

Jesus gives us living water. The Bible is like a river of life, and everything lives whenever His Word is preached. If you have the spirit in your life, your mind, your heart becomes like a river of life. God wants that river to flow through us to reach others.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim-Joel 3:18 KJV

100% to God = 0% Compromise to the world!

A Heart Of Wisdom...πŸ™πŸŒΏπŸŒΌπŸ’žπŸ•Š

TODAY’S WORD:

If we truly understood how fleeting life is—how each breath is a gift—we would live differently. We wouldn’t waste time holding grudges or letting petty annoyances build walls between us and the people we love. That little quirk your spouse has? You’d smile at it instead of sigh. You’d count it among the things that make them beautifully human. You’d embrace another day beside them with gratitude.

We wouldn't drag ourselves to work with complaints on our lips. Instead, we’d thank God for the job, for the boss we have—flawed as they might be—and for the provision of purpose and a paycheck. Some people are praying for what you now take for granted.

A heart of wisdom puts things into perspective. It remembers that someone somewhere is lying in a hospital bed praying for one more chance. Someone else is grieving a loved one they can no longer call. Someone is jobless, lonely, or burdened beyond what words can express. When you number your days, you stop wasting them. You start living fully, intentionally, and thankfully.

Life is precious because it’s seasonal. Don’t let the temporary steal the beauty of today. *Your life may not be perfect, but your God is—and He’s already in your tomorrow, turning detours into direction.* So pause. Breathe. Laugh. Love. Forgive. Hug your family a little tighter. Say “thank you” more often. Celebrate small victories. Number your days, and live with a heart tuned to eternity.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Father, thank You for this beautiful and blessed day. Help me to live it with joy, gratitude, and purpose. Teach me to number my days and focus on what truly matters. Thank You for being with me, guiding me, and working all things for my good. I choose peace over frustration and faith over fear. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

100% to God = 0% Compromise to the world!

Counterfeits...πŸ™πŸŒΏπŸŒΌπŸ’žπŸ•Š

The people of God are directed to the Scriptures as their safeguard against the influence of false teachers and the delusive power of spirits of darkness. Satan employs every possible device to prevent men from obtaining a knowledge of the Bible; for its plain utterances reveal his deceptions. At every revival of God's work the prince of evil is aroused to more intense activity; he is now putting forth his utmost efforts for a final struggle against Christ and His followers. The last great delusion is soon to open before us. Antichrist is to perform his marvelous works in our sight. So closely will the counterfeit resemble the true that it will be impossible to distinguish between them except by the Holy Scriptures. By their testimony every statement and every miracle must be tested.... 

The man who makes the working of miracles the test of his faith will find that Satan can, through a species of deceptions, perform wonders that will appears to be genuine miracles. 

Satan is a cunning worker, and he will bring in subtle fallacies to darken and confuse the mind and root out the doctrines of salvation. Those who do not accept the Word of God just as it reads, will be snared in his trap. 

Evil angels are upon our track every moment.... They assume new ground and work marvels and miracles in our sight.... 

Some will be tempted to receive these wonders as from God. The sick will be healed before us. Miracles will be performed in our sight. Are we prepared for the trial which awaits us when the lying wonders of Satan shall be more fully exhibited? Will not many souls be ensnared and taken? By departing from the plain precepts and commandments of God, and giving heed to fables, the minds of many are preparing to receive these lying wonders. We must all now seek to arm ourselves for the contest in which we must soon engage. Faith in God's word, prayerfully studied and practically applied, will be our shield from Satan's power and will bring us off conquerors through the blood of Christ-Maranatha 

100% to God = 0% Compromise to the world! 

Happy and Joyful Sabbath as We are filled with this Hope that Burns within Our Heart!

He Will Never Leave You...πŸ™πŸŒΏπŸŒΌπŸ’žπŸ•Š

TODAY’S WORD:

When God told the prophet Jonah to go preach to the city of Nineveh, he disobeyed, got on a boat, and went in the opposite direction. You would think God would say, “I would have gone before you if you went to Nineveh, but now you’re on your own.” But God doesn’t abandon us when we make mistakes. He had a big fish ready to swallow him and spare his life when the sailors threw him overboard to calm the storm. God had already gone before Jonah…in the wrong direction. 

How many times has God in His mercy gone before us in the wrong direction. When we got ourselves in trouble, it was nobody’s fault but our own, but God was there to help get us out. You’re not on your own. You’re not doing life by yourself. The Creator of the universe is going before you. You can lie down at night in peace, knowing that God has you covered, even when you make mistakes. He’s going to be there to restore you, to help you get back on the best path.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Father, thank You for this beautiful morning. I come to You in prayer, asking for the type of focus that only You can provide in this busy world. Help me to focus on the greatness of You and the life You have planned for me. Thank You that You are always going before me and You’re always with me even when I mess up and go in the wrong direction. Thank You that You are so merciful to not leave me on my own. I believe that You are going to be there to keep me on the best path. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Beware Of Man-Made Tests...πŸ™πŸŒΏπŸŒΌπŸ•ŠπŸ’ž

There are those who need in their hearts the touch of the divine Spirit. Then the message for this time will be their burden. They will not search for human tests, for something new and strange. The Sabbath of the fourth commandment is the test for this time.

The commandment of God that has been almost universally made void, is the testing truth for this time.... The time is coming when all those who worship God will be distinguished by this sign. They will be known as the servants of God, by this mark of their allegiance to Heaven. But all man-made tests will divert the mind from the great and important doctrines that constitute the present truth. 

It is the desire and plan of Satan to bring in among us those who will go to great extremes—people of narrow minds, who are critical and sharp, and very tenacious in holding their own conceptions of what the truth means. They will be exacting, and will seek to enforce rigorous duties, and go to great lengths in matters of minor importance, while they neglect the weightier matters of the law—judgment and mercy and the love of God. Through the work of a few of this class of persons, the whole body of Sabbathkeepers will be designated as bigoted ... and fanatical.... 

God has a special work for the men of experience to do. They are to guard the cause of God. They are to see that the work of God is not committed to men who feel it their privilege to move out on their own independent judgment, to preach whatever they please, and to be responsible to no one for their instructions or work. Let this spirit of self-sufficiency once rule in our midst, and there will be no harmony of action, no unity of spirit, no safety for the work, and no healthful growth in the cause.... Christ prayed that His followers might be one as He and the Father were one. Those who desire to see this prayer answered, should seek to discourage the slightest tendency to division, and try to keep the spirit of unity and love among brethren-Maranatha

Ecclesiastes12:13-14|The End Of The Matter...πŸ™πŸŒΏπŸŒΌπŸ’žπŸ•Š

Third, it’s time to live

Verse 14: “For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.”

Now we’re back to where we started: the judgment of God. We hate the word judgment don’t we? But it’s in the judgment of God that we find meaning in absolutely everything.

The judgment of God is not something we can avoid—the Christian nor the non-Christian. You see it right there in verse 14: God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. All of our life falls under the judgment of God.

What will that day be like for each person? Look again at verse 14. Every deed. Every secret thing, whether good or evil. Do you know what that word EVERY means here? EVERY . ALL. EACH ONE. The ENTIRETY. Nothing is hidden from God. He sees every secret thing, whether good or evil.

Jesus will on that day be perfectly just. The sins of the righteous and the unrighteous will be presented. The righteous won’t pay the penalty for them because he already did, but they will be revealed, highlighting the grace of Christ in your life even greater.

Do you see what this means for us? If every day will be judged on that day, then every day matters. Jesus is watching. He knows what our days are really made of. Nothing is hidden. So, that secret sin you’re protecting, why not hand it to Jesus now to find forgiveness and healing? He knows it anyway, so what are you really hiding? Why not confess it and be rid of it. And that secret good deed you wish others new about, why not forget the praise of men and move on to the next good deed? Jesus saw it, and he’ll commend you for it.

So here’s how we live: low before Jesus, totally open to him. We just fear and follow and live open to his grace and mercy. One day, to our utter amazement, we will see how meaningful our life really was. And we’ll see that it’s all because of grace.  It’s like the father who prepares all for his son’s steps, clearing the path for success, and then praising him for the work at the end. The son only walked; the father worked, but he’s praising nonetheless.

Life under the sun only is,“Vanity of vanities! All is vanity.” But life under the hand of God is not meaningless. Your life in Christ is more meaningful than you know. So let’s get to living it for him now because it matters today and will matter tomorrow and will matter for eternity.

Fear him and follow him, and he will show you on that day how eternally significant that moment was. That’s life under the hand of God.-DM
