IBS field time week 3
2 Chronicles 19:7 “Now then, let the fear of the Lord be upon you. Be careful what you do, for there is no injustice with the Lord our God, or partiality or taking bribes.”

This is such an important verse because we truly do need to be careful about what we do. This goes even farther than our immediate actions, but what we watch or listen to. Because eventually they are going to start affecting our thoughts and our hearts no matter how hard we try for them to not. The worst part of all is that no matter how hard you try God knows and alabe knows about everything. So there is no trying to hide from Him. What is great about this passage is that it brings about the importance of remembering that God is just in all that He does and all the time. At the same time He is one hundred percent good. He can’t be any less of one of His attributes or else it wouldn’t make Him God. That just gives me such a joy because it shows that He is so much greater than any human and so much bigger. And with that we should want to obey Him in all we do which gives us a healthy respect and fear for Him.

Application:
I will pray about being more conscience with what I’m letting into my mind.

IBS week 8.1

John 12:26 "Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me." How honored would we be to be servants of the one true God. And we are, He chose us to be His servants, that's such a blessing and an honor. If we realized that we are truly Gods servants than when we are asked to do things we wouldn't grumble or complain because we aren't just doing them for man but we get to do them for our King. What a difference would it be to look at tasks with a mind set of getting to serve the Lord instead of having to because we were told to. But many times we could hear this passage and not like how it says that we are servants because we've grown up in a culture that says we are free to do whatever and being a servant to others is lowly and that instead people should be serving you. When in reality we are all serving something or someone and I would rather serve a Lord who is just and trea

IBS Week 1

Matthew 8:9-10 “I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, “Go,” and they go, or “Come,” and they come. And if I say to my slaves, “Do this,” they do it. When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “ I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel! “ (NLT) Reading this I get convicted because in the past there has been times where I heard God say go but I chose not to because it would have been out of my comfort zone. Even now there are still times where I question Gods decisions but I know thats not what He wants for me, so little by little I have been trying to trust when God says go and I go. For instence when I heard the call to go to Ignite and said yes to the Lord, that decision has helped me grow deeper in my faith with Him. I want to keep growing in that faith so that there is not even an ounce of doubt left in my mind for t

Matthew 5:45 “So that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” I never gave this verse much thought, yes I was taught to always be thankful for the little things. But when I took a closer look to this passage it made me even more grateful. For me I always knew the sun would rise and set with everyday, that’s what is has done all of my life so why would it be any different? God doesn’t have to make the sun rise and set, He can make it stand still like in the book of Joshua. But even though we aren’t grateful He still allows this. This is a picture of God's grace because we need the sun for plants to grow and without the sun we could not survive very long, because we would run out of nutritious food. So even though we have done things to not deserve His grace He still provides for us. He also lets us have rain. The rain helps the soil, and again helps plants grow, and gi
