7 Days A Week


 7 Days A Week!

Do you have a daily relationship with God? Or is it just a Sunday relationship?  Reading in Jeremiah 7, I noticed something...call me crazy but when reading all of the disobedient things the Israelites did, I assumed that they had stopped going into God's house on a regular basis as well.  But they didn't!  In Jeremiah 7, God is giving Jeremiah instructions on what to tell the people, and God address the fact that they sin all week long, even on the Sabbath and then they come and stand before Him as if everything is just honky-dory!  Well, God was not pleased with this behavior from the Israelites, and He is not pleased with it when we do it today, either.  As I was reading it hit me that many of the "Christians" today do this same thing.  They go out and live like there is no God during the week, and then come to church on Sunday, put a smile on their face and hope that not only will they fool the rest of the people at church, but they also hope to fool God.  But God is not one to be fooled...He knows the truth of what we do with our week, going to church on Sunday does not save us...just as it did not save the Israelites...God wants a personal relationship with us. He want to be a part of our everyday lives, not just Sunday.  Going to church on Sunday is an important part of worshiping God, but going on Sunday and putting on a false worship experience is not what God ask for...He ask for our hearts, our lives, He wants us to live everyday, walking with Him, reading His Word, serving Him and bringing glory to Him in our everyday lives...God wants 7 day a week, not just Sunday!

"How Can I Keep From Singing" - Chris Tomlin


"How Can I Keep From Singing" by Chris Tomlin

As I listen to this song, I just can't help but sing along...such a powerful and anointed song.  We all need to remember no matter what the circumstances, in success, in failure, in good and bad...God is so good! It doesn't matter what we are going through...How can we keep from singing His praise?
