Scripture: Hebrews 11:[6] And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Observation: I want to please God more than anything, yet my lack of faith at times makes that impossible. I have moments each day when my faith fails me and my thoughts turn to negativity and worry. I know God exists and that He loves me, but my actions at times deny that and people would see that and doubt my faith.

Application: My faith should be based on the love God has for me and shows me all the time. My past should be basis enough for faith, the way He saves me over and over again. I need to have faith in all situations not just some or even most, but all. The more faith I have the closer I will draw to my Father.

Prayer: Dear Lord I believe, help my unbelief and increase my faith. Fill me with the Holy Spirit and always have on my mind and heart you faithfulness in my life.

Scripture: Hebrews 10: [24] And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.

Observation: In my walk I’ve had several people help me grow closer to God. I’ve had pastors help me realize visions God has given me, brothers and sisters in Christ who encouraged me to do more for God. I’ve always felt God uses other people to speak to me and guide me along the path He has chosen. I need to give to others so they may experience the joy I have received. In a couple of weeks we will be holding a Thanksgiving dinner at the Army and Navy Academy for military families, homeless or anyone that has no place else to go. This event will help those servants understand God’s will better for their life.

Application: I need to reach more people that God has surrounded me with. I need to encourage and help them fulfill the purpose God has created them for. I need to love them more so they may see I’m sincere in helping them.

Prayer: Dear Lord help me love more. I know you love me and that I have no doubt, but I’m still a sinner and full of anger at times, help me love all those you put in my path as you love me.

Scripture: Hebrews 9: [27] Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

Observation: I know Jesus died for my sins and because of that I now have a place in heaven, but there still is a judgment. I must answer to God what I have done with this life He has given me. I know what I was like before being saved and Jesus cleansed me of those sins, but what have I done since I’ve been saved? I’m not going to be here much longer, I lived most of my life, but it’s not over yet.

Application: I need to live my life in a way that I’m excited to hear what God has to say about me. I want to hear the words well done good and faithful servant and not, what have you done with the time I gave you. I don’t want to know about the people that He put in my path that I ignored and did not tell the gospel to. I want to meet the people that are in heaven because God was able to use me.

Prayer: Dear God continue to change your servant and make me more like your Son. Show me how to finish this race well and when I get to go home may I feel your warm embrace, because you are pleased with your servant.
