What Are We Pursuing?
Good Saturday Morning friends! I did it! Two Saturday’s in a row I am writing in my blog. I really want to get back to writing more but baby steps ya know? I hope and pray everyone had a good week and is able to take a couple of days of down time and relax.
This week coming up is going to be a big one for yours truly; more to come on that. 🙂
Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare.– Isaiah 55:1-2
As I was reading my morning devotional, I knew that I had to write about this passage. Today, more than ever, we need to be focused on what is truly important. For so long, we have been focused on things such as money, careers, “the hustle”, and yes even the nasty cuss word right now politics. All the while we have pretty much put God on the shelf.
Oh yes we will do our morning devotionals, go to church, heck we might even fill our social media posts with timely and feel good messages. But are we pursuing Him? What are we pursuing in His place? Do we have any wonder why we always feel frustrated with our lives?
Today I am here to tell you that God wants us to pursue Him full-time! Not just for a few minutes every morning, but in all times and in all circumstances. As the above passage shows us, why spend all of our pursuit on things that only provide temporary strength? Why spend our money on things that will bring us no joy (or only temporary joy). Pursue the things of God and He will provide “the finest food” and all for FREE. (At least for us- It was not free for Jesus)
One final example, for all you gym rats out there? How much time did you put in to making your body healthier and looking better? (Not that there is anything wrong with exercise and eating right-save the hate mail). Now, how much time did you put into making your relationship with God healthier and stronger? I think for all of us the answer is that we spent more time on situation one. And yet we still wonder why we stay frustrated and never satisfied……Making sense?
Friends, I’m not saying to stay in your prayer closet 24/7 and not live your life (although these days that isn’t such a bad idea). We still have to work, exercise, and do the things God has called us to do, but we can still do all those things for HIM. We can make sure that we are not in it for OURSELVES but for HIM. You know who else was all about themselves? Lucifer; and we all see how that turned out….
Start today pursuing our first real love; Jesus Christ. Give Him your all and so all things through Him. Amen? I pray you have a blessed day and please, leave your thoughts and comments below. I would love to hear from you! Also, if your a Twitter peep; follow me at @Gods_Warrior91.

We Don’t Get It
Good morning! Its me again! I have done a horrible job or writing this last year…Not totally sure why other than I am a creature of habit and simply got out of the habit of doing it. Its been a long year with multiple personal issues hitting myself and my family; so it’s probably that as well. Anyways, I hope many of you are still with me and see this, if not, then I’m getting this out of my system at the very least…..
We don’t get it……Get what you ask? Well I could pick a bunch of things but for the purpose of this writing it is our current climate in America. Let’s summarize things shall we?
- We just let the best President in the last 50 years get voted out of office. (No, it was not “stolen”)
- We let a man who supports the killing of the unborn and does nothing but cater to the progressive, atheistic, left take his place.
- Many of us put our worship into a movement called “Q” and was told to “trust the plan”. Yes because a real plan to keep President Trump in office against the Deep State would be put in full view on the internet for all to see.
- While COVID is real, we have let the Government close our businesses and make us more dependent on them than ever.
- We forgot about Jesus…..
Forgot about Jesus? Yep and that is where we come back to my title header; We don’t get it….We don’t get the fact that no matter who we put in the White House, if we don’t get back to Jesus and His biblical principles, it will never matter. Did President Trump champion many things for the Christian community such as Pro-Life laws? Yes, but what did we do as citizens? Nothing; because we “trusted the plan”. (By the way, the “plan” resembled something more like what you would see in Revelation but that is for another day).
And so here we are with a new President that has one foot in the grave and a VP that is just biding her time until Congress can pass the 25th to have him removed. Folks, we don’t get it….This has NOTHING to do with politics and EVERYTHING to do with Spiritual Warfare. Can you really not see this?
We are really good at being “keyboard warriors”, but what are we doing in the real world to get back to where we should be? We put all our money on Donald Trump and friends the house won. No matter how good his intentions, he is one man, we make up millions of people that claim to worship Christ; yet we let Trump lead and not Christ. So, here we are…..
So what do we do? Well it would be easy to throw our hands up and just wait for the Lord’s return but is that really what God would want? Let me give you what I believe GOD’s PLAN is…
- Individually repent of our sinful ways and ask God to lead us once again.
- Stop blaming the other side; someone needs to be the adult in the room and if we as Christians can’t be that adult we are in trouble.
- Speak up on what you are for, everyone knows what you are against.
- LISTEN, yes even to the most atheistic liberal. Jesus never argued anyone into the Kingdom and neither will you.
- Love, yes even your enemies. (Jesus didn’t say love your enemies you feel like loving).
- Tell someone your personal testimony about how Jesus changed your life (heck, even ask them if they have ever heard the Good News)
There are alot more I could list but this is a good start. Take some time today and pray about how God would use you. I’m not talking about violence and uprising but true Spiritual Battle. Are we willing to do that or are we just going to wait for the next politician to save us?
Are we really Christ Followers, or not.
The next few months and years will reveal tell the story. Biden may be in the White House but God almighty is on the Great Throne. Who has the more power? Who do you think wins this battle?
The choice is yours; time to decide.
God Bless,
David

What To Do?
These were the best of times, these were the worst of times…..
Who am I kidding, these are the WORST of times.
Last night on Twitter it hit me when I saw the left start the hashtag, “Wrong Trump”. It then hit me that humanity has reached a new low. A low so far down into the depths of Hell that there is no coming back. This truly is as were the days of Noah.
No one listens, no one cares, no one has an open mind to understand why people feel the way that they do. Just the “I will be right” mentality at all costs. Not everyone can be right though correct? Who is really right? Who is wrong? Where is God in all of this? Has He just said Peace Out you all have reached a level of evil that there is no saving from?
As I…

Happy Saturday!
Good morning everyone and welcome to Saturday! I’m not sure about all of you but this has been a stressful week. At my job they have completed one round of layoffs and on Monday morning I find out if I am part of the second. Part of me is ok if I am because the severance package will be nice and I have been praying for a fresh start. Whether or not this is in God’s plan and timing, I guess will be determined in a couple of days.
In either case, I will do my best to find joy in the decision; these are unprecedented times and the one thing I am sure of is God’s plans are WAY better than mine.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
– Psalm 51:10
Its funny because when I sat down to write…

– Psalm 51:10
Its funny because when I sat down to write this message, I really had no idea what to write about. With so much going on, I could literally talk about thousands of relevant topics. But when I looked back at my verse of the day; it hit me as to exactly what God wanted me to talk about. (Usually this is when God has the biggest impact when I just let His Spirit guide me and stop trying to control it.)
Years ago, I was hit by a car as I darted across the street. Even from this early age of 13, the Evil One was trying to take me out. I won’t get into all the graphic details, but all things considered I fared pretty well. But one of the things that happened still sticks with me today and leads me to what I believe God wants me to share with you all.
So, I was unconscious for about 10 hours; any longer and the doctor said there could have been serious issues. But with God’s Grace I awoke and once I got my wits about me and what had happened, my arm REALLY hurt. I had quite a few injuries but this one in particular REALLY hurt. So when I gathered enough courage, I looked down and my forearm was basically completely exposed down to the bone. It was bloody, full of gravel, and was the worst pain I had ever felt. Then the fun part came….
The nurses came in with this peroxide stuff and what was essentially a scrub brush. I’m thinking, what are they going to do with that?? Well, they said, “we need to get out all the gravel and dirt so your arm doesn’t get infected. Then we can stitch you up”. I’m like, YOU COULDN’T HAVE DONE THIS WHILE I WAS UNCONSCIOUS?????
In any event, they did what they had to and all was well. I do have a reason for telling you this story and here it goes. See the Scripture above is the Psalmist asking God to create a new heart and a new spirit within him. For those of us that are disciples of Jesus Christ, we should be asking the same thing. The thing is though, be careful what you ask for because just like my how my arm needed to be cleaned out to avoid infection, when God goes to clean out your heart, it also will cause some pain.
Things that you never realized will come to light as God uses His “scrub brush” to clean out your old heart and spirit. Just as the doctor was preparing my arm for healing, God is preparing your heart for not only healing but Heaven! Every time the doctor took a swipe at the opening in my forearm the pain was unbearable, but in the end, it saved my arm. In the same way, every “swipe” God takes at your old and wretched heart and spirit, it WILL cause you pain, but in the end, it will save your SOUL.
Yes you are a new Creation in Christ and by believing in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have gained Eternal Life. But it doesn’t stop there! There isn’t some magic event that happens that make you perfect. From that point on God, if you let Him, will continue to purge that old, wretched heart, and replace it with a new pure one that is ready for your next life. (And makes the current one better as well)
May God bless each of you today and know this above all else; God loves you more than you can possibly imagine and as those of us that are parents understand, sometimes the best thing for His children is to allow some temporary pain to bring out lasting transformation that will make us better than ever before.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
