For His Glory Friday.
Luke 15:1-7
Found! We give God all the glory because of who He is and what He has done for us. Like sheep, we have all gone, and sometimes still go, astray; wondering away from the will of God. But God, who is a loving Father, sent Jesus to earth to lead a search party to find us. Because of His love for us, Jesus looked for us in common and uncommon places; high and low places; public and private places; blessed and broken places. He didn’t quit or give up. He continued to search for us until He found us. He knew that without being in His care, death (physical and spiritual) would be our eternal fate. So, even when we didn’t have a chance, God made a way. My friend, Christ loves, looks for, finds, and lifts you to live the new life of victory. You are found! You are in His care. Heaven is rejoicing and hell is mad. Listen, you may become lost again, but don’t worry. Jesus will seek and find the lost again and again. He came to save the lost. He will save the lost. Thank God that you are found. Give Him all the glory.

Luke 15:1-7
Lost in Actions Moses did it. Peter did it. Even David, God’s chosen did it. What did they do? They became lost in their thinking and emotions, which resulted in them becoming lost in their actions. In short, they reacted impulsively to the situation instead of asking God first for instructions; we are all guilty. While under pressure, assaulted by adversity, or confronted by challenges, we have been known to lose it. We become lost in our actions. Thus, we speak before we think, act before we ask, and jump to conclusions. This aggressive behavior is irrational, erratic, and violent (sinful). When we choose to act this way, we are NOT pleasing God, we are lost. My friend, all is not lost. Like the three characters mentioned above, God, who is love, looks for you until He finds you. Not to condemn you, but to care for you and carry you as you learn how to manage your impulses. Trust in Him as you ask in prayer before you act. Continue to learn how to allow (obey) the Holy Spirit to help you manage yourself.

Lost in Emotions In 1987, Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam released a song entitled, “Lost in Emotion.” It’s about someone becoming lost in the emotion of love. The song helps us realize that it is easy for anyone to get lost in their emotions. Emotions are powerful feelings we experience because of what we see, hear, do, or remember. Emotions are given to us by God to enjoy Him in a relationship, enjoy life, and enjoy connecting with others. Emotions are not the problem, it when they become unhealthy (negative, destructive, harmful). Unhealthy emotions are evil. Like cancer, they multiply, attack, and destroy everything they come in contact with. Unhealthy emotions derail our lives and we become lost. My friend, when you are lost in unhealthy emotions, the Lord is near. He wants to heal you and help you get back on course (Ps. 51:17); from unhealthy to healthy living. Here are a few strategies for success: * Commune with God. * Know your emotional triggers. * Reset Your Thinking. * If you, Mess up, Get up, Move Forward.

Luke 15:1-7
Lost. Lost. It means away from. This is what happens to us when we stop trusting in God and start leaning to our own limited, self-centered understanding. As a result, we are slowly lured away from God (the Good Shepherd) into known and unknown dangers. The Bible warns us about living this way and the results we will face when we do. When we choose our thinking over God’s will, we become prisoners of our negative thoughts. We overthink, criticize, and worry. We stress, quit trying, and hurt ourselves and others. We lie, curse, and complain. We are lost. The good news is that Christ, by His life, death and resurrection, came to seek us out and set us free. In Christ, we are set free from negative, trifling, and destructive thinking and living. My friend, you may be saved, but lost. Christ is pursuing you to set you free. Take the risk to trust in His Word and His timing. He promises that when you are lost He will leave the ninety-nine and go after you until He finds you and brings you back. Love looks for the lost.

1 John 4:16
Show Love! God is love and in every moment He demonstrates His love in everything that He does. From keeping the earth in its proper position to providing eyelashes to keep debris from our delicate eyes, it’s all evidence of His love. His unconditional, life-changing, eternal love is what we need to survive and thrive; He loves us to life, a new life of victory. As we live this new life, we must choose to know Him, believe in Him, and surrender our lives to Him as He lives through us, reaching the world. These choices are our responses to His love for us. My friend, God is love. To be His child, His love must continually abide in you and be shown in your character and conduct toward others. How? *study His word to know Him. * believe in Him to trust Him. * surrender to His will, making yourself available to Him as He uses you to share His love with others. Ruminate The one who does not show godly love to others doesn’t know God (WOW). Love others as Christ has loved you. Be the reason someone is loved.

Heb. 6:19
Trust My Anchor Anchors have been a symbol of hope for centuries. They remind us of the safety, security, and salvation promised to us through Christ. But, what good is an “Anchor (Christ)” if we don’t trust in Him? I have provided practical truths to work on as we learn to trust Christ, our Anchor. Truths Who to Trust? Christ. Mt. 16:16 What to Trust? His presence, power, Word, love, faithfulness. Where? Everywhere I go. When? At all times. Why? He is Christ; faithful, with an exceptional track record. Without Him, every day I aimlessly drift, never reaching the destiny He preordained for me. How to trust Christ, our Anchor…* personal relationship with Christ* pray about everything. *, pay attention to His Word and (hide) His Word in all your heart. * practice love and faithfulness. * permit your heart to trust in Him again.* put all your understanding on Him, not self.* praise Him in everything you do.* put into action daily what you learn from His word, patterning your life after His. * put the work in.

Christ: Our Anchor”In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil”. These are the words penned by Edward Mote a Baptist minister from London as he wrote the hymn, ” My Hope is Built.” This great hymn challenges and reminds us that during the storms of life Christ is our anchor, providing safety, security, and salvation. The question is do you trust Christ as your anchor? Hopefully, you respond with a firm “yes.”. If your response is unsure, don’t worry, every believer has been there; I just don’t want you to stay there. Below, I have provided important info that can help everyone take risks to anchor their souls in Christ.When Christ is my anchor, I am: Safe. 2 These. 3:3-5 Secure. Isa. 54:17 Saved. 1 Thess. 5:9-10 My friend, Christ is the only anchor for your soul. He is able to keep you safe and save you from a life of sin, guilt, and shame. He alone holds us firmly as the storms of life try and blow you off course; Christ will keep you from being swept away. Have you made Him your anchor?

Anchored! The lyrics of a blues song ring out “they call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday is just as bad.” The singer goes on to say that the rest of the week is even worse. I think we can all agree with the singer that in this life, we will experience storms. Unlike natural storms that soon pass, the storms of life often linger for what seems like an eternity. However, when we are anchored in Christ, we will be able to weather any storm. For Christians, to be anchored means that our hope is hooked into God’s Word which is solid as a rock, secure as God’s love, and forever true. As a result, our hope is generated by faith in God, keeping us connected to Him and preventing us from aimlessly drifting and drifting away. As a note, during life storms, use the time as an opportunity to check your faith, making sure that it is anchored in Christ, enabling you to hold on and prevent your life from becoming a wreck. My friend, you are responsible for making sure that your anchor of hope grips and holds on to Christ, He holds forever.
