Leap of Faith
Trusting God is a lifelong journey. Don’t travel alone.
A Devotional Moment
Ephesians 4:2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love.
We are called to be one in Christ. Why can’t we do this? Oneness shouldn’t occur because we lost someone dear to our hearts.
Nor should we have regrets in our hearts because we did not love, honor, and uplift the neighbor, friend, or loved one.
Tomorrow is not promised. So, let us take this day to appreciate and acknowledge others. Be it a smile, a ride to the store, or offer prayer. Don’t lose this precious opportunity to show they do matter.
Ephesians 4:3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.

THE ROOT
A Study of the Word
“My Hope”
Psalm 25:21 May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.
Have you had the experience of going back home for a visit and some of the same people are doing the same activities, same hang out, talking the same thing you were a witness to ten years earlier?
Often there are one or two people in this environment who improves their quality of life by moving forward; seeking a career, higher education, or relocation.
However, the “friends” who are in the “rut” will try to step on the dreams and ambitions of those who are looking for a way out.
These so-called friends don’t have the ambition to move forward in their own lives, but they don’t want to see anyone else make improvements either.
They work at trying to hold that person back through mockery. The goal is to keep others there with them. A person’s growth scares those around them who do not want to change their own lives.
Where is the integrity in the person who strives to keep someone down? Who tries to lure them in corrupt and dangerous activities?
We look at integrity and honesty from our own point of view and we should. But it involves not only us. There are a lot of scenarios where our lack of integrity and honesty affects others.
Psalm 25:5 Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
When we ask God to lead us by his truth. He will.
When we hear a sermon preached and our heart quickens, we know the message is for our ears. Because it touches our spirit. When the spirit of God speaks softly to us and tells us to do something.
These are truths. We may not want to hear what is said because it hits our spirit with shame, embarrassment, and sometimes anger. But we asked God for his truth, remember this when he delivers it.
when God leads us by his truth. It is his truth we will receive. Like it says in psalms 25:5 ‘for you are the God who saves me’.
Saving us is the whole point. His truth is found in his laws and instructions. Reading the scriptures, we learn how he moves in the lives of those he called for a purpose.
We can learn both, his character and how he moves in the lives of those in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Recognizing God as the one who saves us and asking him to lead us by his truth is important to our lives; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spirituallyIt is good to have hope.
It is excellent to have hope, in God. We understand who he is.
In the opening scripture 👇🏽
Psalm 25:21 May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.
For integrity and honesty to protect us, we have to possess them.
​
Integrity:
-adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.
Honesty:
-truthful; ethical; fair; not lying or cheating:
-showing uprightness and fairness; not deceitful:
-To live a moral, upright life, ethical and can be trusted. No lying or cheating. These are qualities that God wants us to have.
When we live right. We can have hope in his protection, answered prayers, and direction.
Although there are many examples to use. The scenario of friends living day to day with no thought of seeking a more meaningful life is a truth in many places.
Some people are not motivated to work on a job. They would prefer to wheel and deal in other ways. Lacking motivation, they discourage others who are looking for a better life.
Lack of integrity and honesty can be found in our everyday lives. It is up to us to recognize, identify, and refrain from making excuses and trying to cover it up.
If you ask God to lead you by his truth and teach you. He will. Hope is something he wants us to have because hope is a key to our faith.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
My closing prayer:
Psalm 25:5 Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
Father, I pray we will take this time and inventory our lives.
Let the desire to please you outweigh the need to live unrighteous.
If we ask you to lead us by your truth, you will. I pray we strive to make ourselves worthy of you daily. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Proverbs 11:3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

A Pouring Out of Living Water
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Living water is the eternal flow of God's spirit. He says he is the fountain of living water in
Jeremiah 2:13 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Jeremiah 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
​John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
​Thirst: a sensation of dryness in the mouth and throat caused by need of liquid.The physical condition resulting from this need, strong or eager desire; craving: That strong, eager desire can occur in the physical for need of liquid to quench our thirst. It is also a spiritual need that needs quenching in our spirit.Drink: take in liquid, consume Receive the spirit of God, he is the source, fountain of eternal life-living water.
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Revelation 21:6 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.Water: Water is Liquid, transparent in color, odorless and makes up lakes, rivers, oceans. Consider the movement of water- it flows, it can flow gently or in the movement of waves.
The focus is not the liquid, but the movement of the liquid water- it can flow gently or in movement of waves. It’s the movement.
Described as the flow or movement of waves, the flow of the spirit of God within you is felt physically in the body as your spirit is filled up with him.
Revelation 22:17 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. ​​Drink: take in liquid, consume.Receive the spirit of God, he is the source, fountain of eternal life-living water
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Revelation 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
This living water comes from God. He is the source, the fountain, It is for you, me, and anyone who desires to have him in our lives. when you invite him in your heart and life, he will come.​He makes it available because it is his desire that no one perish. As it states in John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ​
Invitation to meet Christ our Lord
For anyone reading this who has not asked the Lord Jesus into your heart
This is your opportunity. Ask him into your heart and life, confess your sins to him, ask his forgiveness. Make every effort from this day forward to turn away from sin. This is the act of repentance. God will meet you where you are.
If you are in the midst of sin; treat your vessel (body) wrong using substances that alter your mind, emotions, and behavior, you are in sexual immorality, corruption, or any combination of these or other forms of sin. Don’t put it off, as we are not promised tomorrow.
Come as you are. Listen, you weren’t feeling ashamed or embarrassed while you werecommitting the act, don’t allow those hindering spirits to stop you now.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Matthew 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Whatever the sin, you and God have always been present during those times. It is you and him now, alone together as you read this. He stands with open arms.
John 7:3 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. ​
