Psalm 46:1 tells us that “God IS our refuge and strength, a very PRESENT help in trouble.” David did not write that the Lord WAS my Shepherd or the Lord WILL BE my Shepherd. He said the Lord IS my shepherd. He is with me and with you at this moment to meet our present needs. He is always in the present - right now with you - meeting your needs and taking care of you. He IS our PRESENT help! Just sayin’……

REVIVAL THOUGHTS THIS WEEK --
We have become so busy if we're not careful, we will be drawn away from the Lord, misplace our passion and priorities, and pursue other people, places and things.

HOW DO WE KNOW IF WE NEED REVIVAL IN OUR LIVES?
1. When our salvation has lost its joy!
- David prayed, "Restore to me the joy of your salvation"
(Psalm 51:12)
I'm worshipping last weekend in church with my wife and as we worshipped, the Spirit quickened me to give the Lord praise and thank Him for my salvation. I quickly did and as I did, tears began to flow down my cheeks. I was overwhelmed with gratitude that I have received the greatest gift of all and yet, did not deserve it but He gave it to me anyway!

I ask you today, if you are a Christian or follower of Jesus Christ, take a moment and thank Him for your salvation. Thank Him for the price that He willingly paid in order for us to be saved, delivered and set free. If you struggle with that, then maybe you are a candidate for revival.

Psalm 85:6 - "Will you not revive us again that your people may rejoice in you?"

If you didn’t know, I am an Arkansas Razorback through and through.
How ‘bout them Hogs!!! They just beat the #1 team in the nation and are on their way to the Elite 8. If I may, can we learn a spiritual lesson with this win. If the HOGS had played on Gonzaga’s terms, we would have been running and gunning and lost the game. But what did we see? We saw Gonzaga playing on our terms and the results speak for themselves.

SPIRITUAL APPLICATION -
When David faced Goliath, King Saul wanted David to fight on Goliath’s terms (close combat with full armor). But David fought on his terms, on the Lord’s terms, and the result - a dead giant who got his head cut off. The next time the enemy attacks you, which he will, don’t fight on his terms because you’ll lose. Fight on God’s terms using God’s weapons and watch your Goliath’s fall. Just writing on the wall tonight! Go Hogs! GO GOD!!!!!

Writing on the wall —
Peter and his buddies had given up. They were washing their nets because of the failure of the night. Jesus stepped into one of the boats and began to teach. He then told Peter to cast their nets into the deep. It would have been easy to say, “Hey Jesus. Been there. Done that” and Peter did say that of sorts. But then Peter said this, “but at your Word…”. And what happened, the nights failure turned into the morning’s abundance all because of one thing … the Word! Sometimes God may ask us to DO what we’ve already DONE before. But when His Word is obeyed, the results will always be an overflow. Don’t be afraid to do what you’ve done. The key is to allow the Word of God to be involved in what you are doing. The Word always works.

Augustine said - If you believe what you like in the Gospel and reject what you don’t like - it’s not the Gospel you believe but yourself.

As a Christian and follower of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is resident in our heart. The question is - is He President of our heart?

After a hiatus to refocus, recharge and regroup, I start this first Greg’s Graffit of 2022 with a confession. I’M LONELY. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not alone just lonely. The move to Houston has been filled with blessings galore, and yet, filled with bumps and breakdowns. Being able to see my immediate family more often - priceless! But while my wife spreads her wings and flies as an RN - meeting colleagues, patients and peers - me, lonely! While my two sons in high school are involved with band and JROTC and making friends and going to youth group - me, lonely! While Eve and Weston know no strangers - I strangely find myself somewhere that I haven’t been in a long time or maybe ever - yep you get it, lonely. We all go through seasons where we feel exactly the way I feel right now. Friends are far away and fellowship even further. Don’t freak out - I’m not depressed, I’m not suicidal, I’m not in a bad place - just lonely. Facebook posts are great but it doesn’t replace the face to face connection that everyone of us need. But this is what I need you to understand - you may feel lonely, but you are never alone! It has been the times with the Lord that I realize that I AM NOT ALONE! He is my constant companion and friend. He is my ever present help in my time of...loneliness! God created us for connection and right now the connections are too few and far apart. So what do I do? I keep praying. I keep going to Church. I keep praising and worshipping the Lord. As we understand His presence in our lives, we realize we are never alone and He will begin to open up opportunities for connection. After 3 months, I can see the Lord opening doors and giving me opportunities for connection, fellowship and lasting friendships. It hasn’t been easy, but I can’t wait to see what God is going to do. So if you are lonely today, know this, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! and that’s me, writing on the wall with Greg’s Graffiti!

As we approach a new year, may the words of Warren Wiersbe ring in your Spirit - “Unbelief says, let’s go back to where it’s safe, but faith says, let’s go forward to where God is working!” Just writing on the wall…

The hustle and bustle of Christmas is in full swing. Parties to attend, presents to wrap and places to go, it can be a little overwhelming at times. But I have a word for you today - BREATHE! Take a moment or two and simply breathe. Job 33:4 says, “For the Spirit of God has made me and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” God breathed in the garden. He breathed on the Day of Pentecost. He breathed into your life the day you were saved. And He continues to breathe life into anyone who will simply stop and … breathe. Let Him breathe into your family, your finances, your health, your mind, your children. There is an old song that says - Let it breathe on me. Let it breathe on me. Let the breath of God now breathe on me! Today I ask you to take a moment and breathe and when you do that, the breath of God will breathe on you. Just writing on the wall this morning!

What a year it has been and what a season we are in! A season that should be filled with worship, joy, peace and love. Yet so many people are victimized by the virus, held prisoner to the pandemic and have doubts of the days ahead. But this evening, you need to know that the enemy is trying to steal your praise and silence your worship. This is the season for praise and worship. We can no longer allow the “mask” to smother our praise or s***f our worship. May we rise up in this season and give worship to the One who is our reason for the season - just writing on the wall!
