SEP. 22 – LOOK TO JESUS

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” — PHILIPPIANS 4:13

“Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain that build it” (Ps 127:1). God is the foundation for every new beginning. All the labor of man will amount to nothing without God’s intervention. You will make no mark in life until God has put His mark on you. You will make no impact until He has affected you. You cannot influence your world until God has imparted something into you, nor can you be made whole until God has made you (Matt. 4:19).

The new beginning of success that you desire is only guaranteed if you put God first in your life. If you are a pastor, stop trying to form a church on your own. A church is not built by man; God is the builder of His church. He said, “I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18). The reason my wife and I enjoy a great level of peace at home is because God is our foundation. Put God first in everything you do, and you will experience His hand upon your life.

Prayer: Pray and ask God to help you put Him first in everything you do.
