Hope For Today – God’s Expansion Plan For Our Lives Ends When …

If we want 2020 to be our year of expansion, we will need to avoid great failures in our lives with all of our strength and discipline. We all know what it’s like to be almost out of control. Sometimes evil thoughts flood our minds and our hearts and drag us away from all that is right and good in God’s eyes. It is in those moments we must reject evil in order to live.

Hi there, I’m Dr. Matthew Lee Smith and I want to share some Hope For Today about the fact that God’s expansion plan for our lives ends as we suffer the consequences of great failure from God’s standards.

Hope For Today – God’s Expansion Plans For Our Lives Thrive!

Flying around the world has taught me several lessons. One of those lessons is that jets fly faster with a tailwind. When we have that extra push we arrive ahead of time. God has a tailwind for you as well in 2020, and it is called the favor of the Lord.

Hope For Today – God’s Expansion Plans Are Thwarted!

Have you ever taken someone’s advice only to find out afterward that what seemed to be good wisdom turned out to be disastrous? All of us have done that at one point or another. But we choose to ignore wisdom right in front of us and the consequences are all too often much worse to me could’ve ever imagined!

What Covid-19 Has Given Me!

While joining in corporate worship is good and it is enjoyable to honor His name with God’s people, I am thrilled for the time alone with Him daily in the Word as I hear His voice so clearly and He shares His plans so distinctly.

As He speaks, I stand in awe and bow before Him. Who am I that God would choose me and what is my family that He would want to use us in these amazing plans He is describing daily to me?

Yes, corporate worship will be wonderful again and I will be glad to reconnect with my spiritual family on a face-to-face basis each weekend.

But my spiritual life is amazingly good right now. My ministry time has increased as people seek me out for counsel and as I seek out others for their wisdom and prayer.

These are great days for planning and preparation to accomplish the Prime Directive King Jesus gave each one of us before He departed: Make disciples of all nations!

So, as I rise and throughout my day – each day – I am working on that very directive. And I seek His heart and direction as I plan for the next season “out in the fields” that are white unto harvest.

Yes, it will be good to be back with God’s people assembled, to worship His glorious Name again in unison.

However, Covid-19 has given me a gift … a greater focus on the One who is my life (Colossians 3.4). And I am so grateful and excited to be preparing in His presence, in His words, with His Spirit for what lies beyond!

When we reopen – and we WILL reopen – I will be ready for the next season to fulfill King Jesus’ Prime Directive of Making Disciples BECAUSE of this season. I am so grateful. Hallelujah!

Hope For Today – God’s Expansion Plans Are Sustainable!

What fruit do you love the most? Right now while I’m in Uganda with Kate, I absolutely love their little bananas and their pineapple. In fact, there’s a lady right across the street that sells those bananas, and it’s pineapples season so there’s a truckload just down the street every day! I just love fresh fruit! I love their sweetness in my mouth!

Hi there, I’m Dr. Matthew Lee Smith and I want to share some Hope For Today about the fact that God’s Expansion is sustainable when we work to bring about fruit!
