Easter Season Daily Reading - Day 17

Every year on our jobs we get a performance evaluation for the work we done.  Our peers and managers give feedback where we need to improve.  Some of the feedback is positive and some negative.  The key is to take all of the feedback into account and use them to grow for the coming year.  This is true about our relationship with God.  Every year we should see growth in our relationship.  We need to ask others what do they see in us and ask God to reveal those area we are immature in. Now put it action your new way of growing for the year.

Easter Season Daily Readings - Day 13

We are always looking for God to bless us because we tell people we are favored by God.  When will we learn that people rather see God in us rather than us tell them that.  The blessing of the Lord is for all.  It's not a reach up and grab type blessing it's a blessing for those who believe God can and will do what is necessary in our lives.

Easter Season Daily Readings - Day 12

As we prepare for this new day, we need to remember that God does protect God's children.  The protection of God comes from those around us and mountains moved by the invisible hand of God.  Go out in this new day of life and stand tall in all you do.  Don't put yourself in unnecessary burden or dangerous situations expecting God to protect you.  Walk the day knowing God is with you and do what is right.

Easter Season Daily Reading - Catching up

Eastertide, Easter Season.  Well, Easter isn't over.  On the Christian calendar we are in the 50 days leading up to Pentecost.  Jesus made his appearance to the disciples over those days to prepare them for the comforter, the guide and the truth called the Holy Spirit.  Please take the time to read more at http://www.crivoice.org/cyeaster.html

Daily Scripture Readings Lent Day 46 (Holy Saturday)

Lent Day 46 - Holy Saturday.  The Passover began on sundown the day before.  The people, the crowd and disciples rested from their labor.  However, the Roman guards were standing watch to make sure none of Jesus' disciples would come and take his body, this was the fear of the Jewish leaders.  So on this Holy Saturday take the time to reflect on these 46 total days including Sundays.  Use this day as the day of anticipation.  I believe Jesus' disciples were all wondering if what he said was true.  I believe they sat and waited anxiously.  Let us wait with that same anticipation.  The real question is Do you believe?

Thank you to our Muslim brothers and sisters who  joined us on our Lenten Journey and in return let us join them during the month of Ramadan at sundown on June 17, 2015 for 30 days.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 Day 44 (Holy Week)

Lent Day 44 (Holy Week) - As we continue with Jesus' journey.  We turn our attention to the last supper.  Jesus realized this was his final hours of spending time with his disciples.  The hint in the text is when he tells Judas go quickly and do what you must do. This is after they ate and Jesus washed their feet.  The reality of this event is that  no matter how close some people are to you there will be those who will set you up.  Instead of getting angry or made just tell them go quickly and do what you must.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 43 (Holy Week)

Lent Day 43 (Holy Week) - It's midweek as we remember Jesus' journey to the cross.  During this midweek, Jesus had some quiet time.  He went to a place to be refueled for the journey before him was not going to get any easier.  The Pharisees and Scribes have been looking for a way to kill him.  Imagine taking your last final journey and knowing what's in front of you will be brutal and nasty.  This is how life can treat us day to day.  We just need a place of peace to prepare ourselves for the days ahead of us.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 42 (Holy Week)

Lent Day 42 (Holy Week) - Celebrating Holy Week has it high and low moments.  As we continue with Jesus' journey to the cross we must take a good look at what Jesus has done for humanity.  Jesus reminds us, like the woman with two mites, to give out of our poverty and instead of our excess.  When we sacrifice, let it come from a true sacrifice not just because it's been laying around and we decide to give it away.

Daily Scritpure Readings Lent 2015 - Day 37

Lent Day 37 - Struggle is so real to the point we believe life is nothing but a struggle.  One truth about struggle is that we learn about ourselves as we go through the struggle.  It's a struggle to live in this image of God because the music, media, magazine and social quo tells us different.  If we are struggling we know greater is waiting for us to become what God has created us to be.  The agitation in life prepares us to walk into our purpose.  If we don't believe struggle prepares us, just look at the process of a pearl or the beauty of a butterfly.  These did not come without struggle and agitation.

Daily Scritpure Readings Lent 2015 - Day 36

Lent Day 36 - Transformation is real.  Everyone of has been transformed in life.  When we witness the transformation of others we are amazed and blown away by them.  When we read the word, we realize we are reading the transformation of lives as they encounter the second person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ.  It's impossible to remain the same when we've been touched by the finger of God's love.  We are truly being rebuilt by God because of God's love.  Rebuild us today Lord.

Daily Scritpure Readings Lent 2015 - Day 35

Lent Day 35 -There ought to be an excitement when we are in the presence of God.  We should be excited about worship, the reading of the word, the songs that speaks to our souls, the prayers that articulate what we can't utter and the proclamation of the word.  As we quickly approach Palm Sunday, there was an excitement around Jesus and what he was doing.  Let's get excited every time we step into the presence of God. This excitement only comes when we are living by the spirit.  When we live in the spirit of God, the spirit of God falls on us.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 33 (5th Sunday)

Fifth Sunday in Lent - For those who are following this daily reading, let me be the first to point out I made a mistake.  I sure did counted the Sunday readings.  Really when you add all the days it's 46 days.  Sunday is not a counted day but since I counted the last 4 Sunday's why stop now.  We are getting closer to Psalm Sunday.  As you prepare yourself for worship on this Sunday, reflect over the past 32 days.  What have you learned about yourself?  What have you learned about God?  What have your learned about others? If you haven't learned much or want to learn more ask God to teach you more.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 32

Lent Day 32 - In the world of social media we rarely meet people face to face.  There are times when we need to meet people, to hug people and get some face time in.  As human beings we have a need to be touched by the love of others.  When we are touched by those who love us we realize they do care about us.  Everybody needs someone in this life  to lean on and to love on. There are people we depend on to survive because we haven't learned to depend on God totally.  God help us to step away from social media for a moment and show us that one person we need in our life.  The one person who will pray for us and will lift us up as we do the same for them.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 31

Lent Day 31 - It's hard to be ourselves when the environment around us dictates we need to be someone else.  When we act like other people we forget who we are.  When we forget we want to harm ourselves.  In order for us to reclaim ourselves we pray for someone to see us beyond our physical appearance.  When we are seen beyond the physically our inner self will start to emerge.  When our inner self emerge, the outer self will die.  Therefore when we continue to ask God to endow us with God's spirit we understand why our old self must die.  Lord Make me over from the inside.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 30

Lent Day 30 -The fasting during Lent truly reveals our strength and weakness.  Fasting gives us a chance to detox some things out of lives temporarily or permanently.  As we journey closer to Holy Week, reflect on what has happened in your life so far.  During this time we find out those who are truly disciples of God and seeking a stronger relationship with God.  This discipline of fasting reminds us we need a day set aside with God with no distractions so that God gets all the praise.  It may not be a whole day, it can be a few hours out of the day but whatever you do just sit in the presence of God.  Ask God to speak to your heart so you can see with your heart and hear with your eyes.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 29

Lent Day 29 - The voice of change is the voice of social justice.  When we listen to certain music we can hear the songs of struggle, songs of change and songs for justice.  When the oppressed and marginalized people finally get enough they start a movement for change.  When a movement for change start, there will be people who will be against the status quo.  Today there is an unrest across the world.  People are fighting back for basic human rights being denied and redeeming who they are in the image of God.  Freedom! oh Freedom!

Lent Day 28 - As we mature in life we lose people, places and things.  When we lose those people to death we can't get them back but we can remember their presence, their love, their dreams and their hope.  When we lose people to death we hurt, we cry, we get depress and we want to give up.  Take the time to mourn and grieve but just don't give up on the healing power of God.  There will always be a place in your heart that still hurt.  Just don't give up on what God can do to transform you in the hurting season of life.

Let us be the example that shines the light of God.  The God who forgives and reconcile all people more than once.  Remember when we mess up, God does give us a second chance and others will see that too.

Lent Day 25 - Meditation is one of those disciplines needed for walking on a spiritual journey.  When we meditate, we focus on God.  Our focus is not on what God will do for us by us being good images of God.  We want to focus on God through meditation to help center us for the day.  When we center on God before we start our day, we'll handle the day a lot better.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 24

Lent Day 24 - Where is your gratitude?  That's a question many of us will ask when we hear people complain about life.  There so many people who died and may have not said thank you or apologized to those they've hurt.  Too often we are not thankful for getting up every morning and laying down because life hasn't been good to us.  Instead of complaining about life, let us tell God thank you for giving us another day to get things right in our life.  Living is a blessing because we have an opportunity to share God's love and testify about the real goodness of God.  Go tell someone why God loves and why you are so thankful for that love.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 23

Lent Day 23 - Day by Day many of us are just living.  We work to get a paycheck and pay the bills.  At one time we loved our job but now it's just a place that may drain us day in and day out.  The passion we had is now replaced by the demand that we must work to continue the life we are living.  Today let us praise God for what we have and remember if it wasn't for God we wouldn't have made it this far.  In order to make it further on our job, let us reclaim the joy we once had by recalling why we decided on that position in the first place.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 22

Lent Day 22 - We would like to be apart something perfect or be perfect ourselves.  We must realize we are not perfect people.  We do serve a perfect God.  As we prepare ourselves to be in relationship with God we must remember we will fall and stumble.  We also need to remember that others will do the same.  Since we are not perfect people, we will have issues like everyone else.  Let us bear one another burden and pray for each other rather than judge one another. Living is hard enough and we really don't need anyone else to point out our mistakes especially when they haven't looked in the mirror of their mistakes.  When you fall down, get up, brush yourself off and get moving!

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 21

Lenten Day 21 - On the cross we say Jesus paid a ransom for our souls.  It was at the cross that God allowed a real sacrifice.  What Jesus did on the cross was more than paying a price for us, Jesus opened a door that was closed to all of us.  Jesus opened the door of reconciliation to God.  Through the reconciliation we now have an opportunity to have a relationship with God on our own.  No longer do we need a priest to pray for or make sacrifices for our sin.  Thank you God for making it possible to know who you are!

Lent Day 19 - We want more of God in us.  We want to be filled by the Holy Spirit.  As many of us know it takes sacrifice to be fully filled by God.  We continue to have the desire to things our way and call it God's way.  When we are filled by God, we will see in each of us the image of God, the love of God and the hope of God.  Instead of looking at our differences, let us look at our commonality.  Fill us up God with more of you and less of us.

Lent Day 18 - The song says in the morning when I rise.  When I rose this morning I didn't have no doubt.  Doubt is one of those things that cause us to second guess our decision and our relationship with God.  Many of us thought we would be able to last this long on the Lenten Journey.  When doubt creeps in our mind, remember with God nothing is impossible.  Let's put a plan in motion and kick doubt to the curb!

Lent Day 17 - Too often we forsake time with God because we believe we can handle the situation.    When we try to fix a small problem and it gets to be bigger than we thought it would be, that's when we must realize and recognize there are no problems or situations too small for God.  Instead of thinking we can fix small things, let us seek God in prayer in all things in our lives first.  Be bold and courageous when turning it all over to God.

Lent Day 16 - Worship begin with our praise of God.  During this Lenten Season let us recognize the things we worship.  So many of us worship God only when it is necessary.  We ought not worship God when we need things, we should worship God for being our protector, our safety and our hope.  When we worship things and objects other than God, then we are tore in our worship.  Let us remember the one we worship ought to be the one we trust.

Lent Day 15 - On the morning prayer line we spoke about intercessory prayer.  The question that went forth was "Who are your interceding for during the Lenten Season?"  Too often we only want to pray for our needs and forget the needs of others, but we are to pray for one another, love one another and bear one another burden.  Let us be specific in our prayers for ourselves and others.  Take the time today to pray for your neighbors, your co-workers and those who you come in contact.  We are a people who know that prayer does and will change things.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 13

Lent Day 13 - Life is full of choices we make.  The choices we make determines our integrity and commitment.  In today's world we have more choice than before.  There was a time on Sunday you couldn't find a store open because of the blue laws.  Sunday meals were at home or at our places of faith.  In the world today we complain about people not going to a place of worship and we forget there are more choices now (i.e. stores open, youth sports, sporting events and etc). In this world of choices we need to decide what's important to us.  Choice wisely and make the choice that will impact your life for eternity.

Lent Day 11 - This week CIAA began in Charlotte, NC.  This is the one time of the year those who graduated from HBCU's come together to support their schools in the basketball games.  Besides the games there are numerous day and night parties, concerts, fundraiser and networking opportunities.  There are so many people who attend every year and have never missed a year.  These are among the faithful followers. When we are faithful to a cause, we will always run into others who are just as faithful.  Lent is also a time for us to be faithful because we know God is a faithful God.

Daily Scirpture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 9

Lent Day 9 - During our weekly Bible study last night we expounded Psalm 33.  The ice breaker question from our facilitator was, "What has God done to put you in awe?"  The one thing that puts me in awe of God is the creation of the earth.  God created the foundation of the world out of nothing, out of chaos and out of darkness.  The awe moment is realizing everything has it's own boundaries and beauty.  The next time when you are traveling, take a good look at the scenery around you and really look at what the voice of God created and formed.  We always miss the subtle presence of God because we are rushing through life.  Slow down, take a deep breathe and enjoy the moment.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 8

Lent Day 8 - Recently, I saw a carton of two people digging a tunnel.  One person just started and the other person was nearly to the end then quit.  So many times were are so close to our breakthrough and we just quit. We quit because the work is long, hard, unrewarding and we have nothing to show for all the time and passion we put in to it.  We quit too soon because we can't see what's on the other side of temptation, trials and tribulation.  I'm here to say DON'T GIVE UP keep pushing, keep chopping and keep digging because it's all for the glory of God.  When you receive the breakthrough that's when you realize it was worth it because now you are stronger, wiser and humbler than before. HOLD ON and DON'T GIVE UP!!

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 7

This is the 7th Day of Lent.  Many of us are witnessing the greatness of God.  We are seeing how God is manifesting in our lives through our prayers, praise and proclamation of the Word.  We realize the more we pray together and call upon God change happens.  We are imperfect people who serve a perfect God.  Our God is a great God and there is only one living God for all of humanity.  How great it is to know we are created equally in the eyes of God.  We are God's image no matter how much we try to deny or even run from it.  We are created from the dust and to the dust we will return.    Remember it only takes a response from us to acknowledge God and our spirits will remember the greatness of our God.

Daily Scripture Readings Lent 2015 - Day 5 (1st Sunday)

Staying focus during Lent can be hard.  Sacrifice is hard because we have a burning desire not to deny ourselves anything.  In reality we are tempted by what we sacrifice.  Whatever you decided to give up or add in your life for Lent, you will be tempted in many ways.  Keep your eyes on the goal and when temptation comes continue to pray to get through it.  The key is not to give up.

On this third day of Lent habits are hard to break.  There maybe a habit you decided to give up for Lent and just for a second or two you went back to your regular routine.  If it does happen don't give up keep trying, keep pressing and keep moving.  Sacrifice is not easy.  We do fall down.  So get back up and start over again.

Today is the first day of Lent.  The 40 days leading up to Easter.  Easter is our time of celebration as Christians as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Did you know that Mardi Gras is rooted in Christianity as well.  Yes, we know people use it as a time of partying and drinking, but there is more to it.  Check out this site to learn more about this season of the Christian Year by visiting http://www.crivoice.org/cylent.html.

This site contains the daily readings for Lent which I will post on a daily basis.  I do hope and pray that you will reflect, fast, sacrifice and repent seriously on this 40 day journey.  These 40 days can be a spiritual renewal if you truly submit yourself to God.
