Psalm 15:1-2 Who may worship in Your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter Your presence on Your holy hill? Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking from sincere hearts. WOW!! This is a powerful statement here! It really speaks to me and puts things back into perspective for me. The Lord looks at our hearts and not everything on the outside. He cares about our heart condition and if we are really sincere.
I sing on our praise team at church and music is a huge part of who I am, but I am learning that worship is more that just the music. That's why I love the story in the bible, Mark 12, where the widow woman came and gave 2 small coins, when everyone else was giving out of their wealth. Jesus said she had gave more than anyone, see He looked at the heart. Worship is an offering, to pour out. And we can worship in so many different ways other than just music. Its in our daily lives that we live. Let your life be about worshiping our Savior. My prayer today is that you find that time and place with the Lord, make time for Him and seek His face and not just His hands!! I believe that is true worship, when we worship Him for who He is and not just what He can do for us. I love that song that states, "every blessing You pour out I'll turn it back to praise". He does want to bless us cause we serve a good God, but lets make it about Him and not just about us. Are we a consumer or a consumee of worship.--Krista

This has got to be one of the most precious pictures that I have seen. It spoke so much to me and showed me where my focus should be and that the Lords love is amazing!! This is a picture of my little cousin. Had to share and praying that you see what I seen in it or that the Lord speaks to you in a special way personally!
Jesus wants us to come to Him as little children. Matthew 18:3. "I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven." These are powerful words from Jesus! We need to get away from our stinkin' thinkin'!! Check out the story in the bible in Acts 7!! Stephen's last words were praying for the people that were doing him wrong!! AMAZING!! Have you ever noticed little children playing and even if they start to not get along or fight about something, it isn't long before they are back playing again with one another! WOW, if we could just put that into practice as adults! Let's focus on what is important and that is the things of the Lord!! Fix your eyes on Him, the Author and Finisher of our faith!!-- Krista Happy Veteran's Day We treasure and honor every veteran and member of the military today. But not just today but everyday!! Thank you for your sacrifice and fighting for our freedom in this country that we live in!! Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for His friends. John 15:13 Jesus paid the ultimate price for our freedom. There is no greater love than that!! He calls us His friends. James 2:23 says, And so it happened just as the Scriptures say: "Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith." He was even called the friend of God. I love that so much, that He calls me His friend! Jesus laid down His life for you and for me, this was the ultimate sacrifice. Abraham was considered a friend because he believed God and his faith was in God. You may know about God and hear the name Jesus, but are you His friend? Do you believe in what He did for you. He sent His son Jesus to die just for you and me, to pay a sacrifice we couldn't pay! Give Him all of you today!! I want to honor those that have fought and are fighting for our freedom in this country!! Words cannot express my thanks and gratitude. Both of my grandparents were in the military and my brother is now! We are truly blessed to have men and women who are willing to stand courageous and fight for our freedom. That you consider us your friend, and protect and serve for each one of us. Thank you and God bless you all. My prayers are continuously with you all!! -- Krista
God is constantly blowing my mind!! He is a Sovereign God, which means He is Almighty and the ruler! The Absolute! And we have a choice to allow Him to have His way in our lives or to try to control them ourselves. I chose a long time ago to let God have the control in my life! I gave my life to Christ on March 17, 1997. I grew up in church all my life and claimed to be a christian, but God truly got a hold of my life when I was 19 years old and TRANSFORMED me!! He is my Father, the Potter and I am the clay and it isn't easy, but I choose daily to pick up my cross and follow Him!! He is continuously molding and shaping me to be what He has called me to be and He wants to do the same for you!
If you have never trusted Jesus as your Savior, I promise you it will be the best decision you will ever make! Romans 10:9-10 says, If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. I pray that Spirit FM 106.9 WQTZ continues to be an encouragement to you. I am blessed to be able to do what I do and I thank the Lord every day for what He is doing!!---- Krista Stop comparing yourself to others. You are an original. - Joyce Meyer
I love that God has made each one of us an original. There is no one else like you!! You have a specific call and plan and purpose for your life and God has taken the time to put every detail of your life and your being together with His hands! We focus so much on our imperfections, but God sees us as something beautiful, He doesn't make junk!! He loves us past our failures, that's why He sent His son, JESUS to die for you and for me!! Choose to see yourself as God sees you today, give Him your life and trust Him, He knows you better than you know yourself.--- Krista |
