Isaiah 12:2 “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”  
This verse is how we should live our lives, we choose to trust and not be fearful when we have a relationship with Christ. We realize that we need to be humble, otherwise God is not our strength and we don’t trust His ways. When God is our strength we realize how pointless it is to try and get strength from ourselves or other things of the world. And we realize just how painful that way of living is. But when Christ is our strength a sort of weight is lifted up off our shoulders, because we don’t have to worry about doing things on our own, instead we give it right to God. He is our song, we should always be giving praise to God. No matter the circumstances God is praise worthy. He is where our joy and happiness comes from.  Our praises for God should be like that song that you can never get out of your head. But instead of it being annoying you love it because it makes you see God in all the little things of life, along with witnessing to others. There is always a reason to be giving God praise, just look around, everything is a blessing from God. Then the verse goes on to say again that God is our salvation. This is such a comfort because that means we can’t save yourself, our jobs can't, nothing can except for Christ. And we should be thankful because we would never be good enough to save ourselves and for that I give God thanks.

Application:

Wake up thanking God for another day on Earth.

IBS ft 1 Ephesians 5:1 “ Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.” What does it truly mean to be imitators of Christ? God is our example and the more we read the bible to really understand the characteristics of Christ the more we also learn how we should be living. It’s very easy to just do our own thing during the day and not even double check our actions and the heart behind them to see if they match up with the Lord. We desire to do one thing but the Lord desires us to do another and then we just brush it off, but the more we dig into the word and deliberately take time to be alone with God the harder it is to be obedient to your fleshes desires. In the end your desires change to be the same as the Lords and it turns out to be much easier to know if what you were doing or wanting to do was the Lords desire for you or your flesh, and you will in turn want to do the will of the Lord because you know God has a perfect plan. And yours usually ends up causing more pain the

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
