When I’m not reading through the Bible in 90 Days<\/a>, I use this reading plan<\/a> to keep me in the Word daily.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you aren’t already following a daily plan, or you are between plans, I hope you’ll consider joining me. Just jump in on today’s date.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today’s Reading: Malachi 3-4, Psalm 148, Acts 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s what I heard today using SOAP<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Scripture: Acts 5:39<\/strong><\/p>\n

But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Observation: <\/strong><\/p>\n

When God is in control, the mission cannot be stopped.<\/p>\n

Application:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I am working for God, truly, completely and purely working for God, the mission will take off.\u00a0 No, it may not take the path I expect and no , that doesn’t mean there won’t be any detours, but it does meant that when I commit my efforts to Him and work for the Lord, the mission will succeed. He is in control.<\/p>\n

Prayer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lord, you are amazing and awesome and powerful beyond my comprehension. And I love serving you. Thank you for that honor and that privilege.<\/p>\n

When I hit bumps and detours along the way, please guide me in re-thinking my actions and determining if my end goal is just to serve you. Because when it is, you make the project fly.<\/p>\n

You cannot and will not be stopped, no matter the roadblocks I may see. Guide me in focusing on you. And thank you for the joy I have experienced as you have allowed me to serve you.<\/p>\n

Please guide me as I continue, and please guide more and more to experience that joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
