DTR: Hope From Heaven

This week we were challenged to take this one main point and apply it to our lives. It comes from Daniel 4:34:  I King Nebuchadnezzar  looked up to heaven, and my sanity returned to me. Then I praised the Most High and honored and glorified Him.
Take time this week to remember that there is hope from heaven for you!!!! When you take the time to look up, everything will begin to change for you because God will be with you through it. So take some time now to Look up, I promise it will make all the difference in the world.  Have a great week!!

DTR: A Life Fully Devoted

What does a life fully devoted to God look like? Take a few minutes to really contemplate this question. Are you fully devoted to God? If not, why? God's love for us is so amazing!! His desire is for us to enjoy this intimacy. Today we got to see what devotion to God looks like in the lives of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I believe they modeled their heart for God in what they said to King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 3:18  We want you as king to know that we will not serve your gods are worship the gold statue you have set up. This is devotion to God on full display. These men knew the one that they worshiped was King Jesus. I heard this quote by Craig Groeshell this week and I will share it with you. .He said "When you kneel before God, it gives you strength to stand before men" I believe what happens in private will become public. Devotion is always a matter of the heart. When our heart is fully devoted to him it will also impact our community! These men's devotion impacted the entire babylonian community as well as the most powerful leader in the world!!! May this be true of us this week as we follow God with all our heart.                                                                                  In Christ,                                                                                                        Chad
