GOD IS LIFE AND LIGHT IN ABUNDANCE. – PSALM 48 : 9, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 12, PSALM 37 : 4

“GOD IS LIFE AND LIGHT IN ABUNDANCE. As you spend time “soaking” in GOD’S Presence, you are energized and lightened. Through communing with GOD, you transfer your heavy burdens to HIS strong shoulders. By gazing at The LORD, you gain HIS perspective on your life. This time alone with GOD is essential for unscrambling your thoughts and smoothing out the day before you. Be willing to fight for this precious time with GOD. Opposition comes in many forms: your own desire to linger in bed; the evil one’s determination to distract you from GOD; the pressure of family, friends, and your own inner critic to spend your time more productively. As you grow in your desire to please The LORD above all else, you gain strength to resist these opponents. Delight yourself in The LORD, for GOD is the deepest Desire of your heart.”

Scripture

Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love. PSALM 48 : 9

About Benjamin he said: “Let the beloved of the LORD rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the LORD loves rests between his shoulders.” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 12

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to fight for time spent sitting in between your shoulders each day. When I do, I find rest and refreshment and energy for my mind, body, and soul. Thank you for loving me and wanting to spend time with me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭139‬ : ‭23 – 24‬

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. Psalms‬ ‭139‬ : ‭23 – 24‬ NLT

Are you anxious about anything? Are you focusing on the negative surroundings? This psalm is saying put your everything in the hands of God, the impure thoughts, worry, stress, anger, God can handle it. Today I pray that we would have God search our hearts and take any imperfections and make them perfect. God is our strength he is our fortress…….Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. – PSALM 34 : 8, ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9

“TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. This command contains an invitation to experience GOD’S living Presence. It also contains a promise. The more you experience GOD, the more convinced you become of HIS goodness. This knowledge is essential to your faith-walk. When adversities strike, the human instinct is to doubt GOD’S goodness. The LORD’S ways are mysterious, even to those who know HIM intimately. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are GOD’s ways and thoughts higher than your ways and thoughts. Do not try to fathom The LORD’S ways. Instead, spend time enjoying GOD and experiencing HIS goodness.”

Scripture

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. PSALM 34 : 8

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I’ve tasted and seen time and time again that you are good. Teach me to enjoy you above all else. You are all my soul desires. You have never failed me, never left me, and never let me down. Your mercies are new every morning. Thank you Jesus. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭14 : 34‬ ‭GNT‬‬

“Righteousness makes a nation great; sin is a disgrace to any nation.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14 : 34‬ ‭GNT‬‬

It’s time for America to wake up!!! We see all the horrible things daily on the news and maybe even with our own eyes, could it be because America has turned away from God? I believe so. Today’s prayer is that as Christians we would pray that the Nation would repent and turn back to God so that he will have his hand upon America again…….Be Blessed

Psalms‬ ‭46‬ :‭ 10‬

“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” ‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬ :‭ 10‬ NLT

1 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬ : ‭35

I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible. 1 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬ : ‭35‬ NLT

This particular scripture is addressing marriage but I think it applies to all areas. Have you ever found yourself getting ready to read your Bible and the phone rings, doorbell, favorite movie you haven’t seen in years comes on? These are the distractions the devil loves for it keeps you out of the word and your Bible remains a dust collector……. Today I pray that each one of us would set aside special time with The Lord, read his word, praise his name, thank him for all you have. I pray that he will make a way for a quiet place with no distractions for you to have communion and relationship with him………Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

REST WITH GOD A WHILE. – PSALM 143 : 8, GENESIS 28 : 15

“REST WITH GOD A WHILE. You have journeyed up a steep, rugged path in recent days. The way ahead is shrouded in uncertainty. Look neither behind you nor before you. Instead, focus your attention on GOD, your constant Companion. Trust that The LORD will equip you fully for whatever awaits you on your journey. GOD designed time to be a protection for you. You couldn’t bear to see all your life at once. Though GOD is unlimited by time, it is in the present moment that HE meets you. Refresh yourself in The LORD’S company, breathing deep draughts of HIS Presence. The highest level of trust is to enjoy GOD moment by moment. The LORD is with you, watching over you wherever you go.”

Scripture

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. PSALM 143 : 8

Psalms 37 :4 – 5

Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. Psalms 37 :4 – 5 NKJV

Life gets so busy we make JUST enough time for The Lord. This scripture tells us to delight yourself, the meaning of delight is “something that brings you extreme pleasure, happiness” we as believers should put Jesus before anything else, he is our best friend, The Lord takes pleasure when we consult him in everything…… Today I pray we would all get alone with God and have a personal conversation with him……..be blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

STAY CALMLY conscious of GOD today, no matter what. – PSALM 23 : 1 – 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 17

“STAY CALMLY conscious of GOD today, no matter what. Remember that GOD goes before you as well as with you into the day. Nothing takes GOD by surprise. The LORD will not allow circumstances to overwhelm you, so long as you look to HIM. The LORD will help you cope with whatever the moment presents. Collaborating with GOD brings blessings that far outweigh all your troubles. Awareness of GOD’S Presence contains Joy that can endure all eventualities.”

Scripture

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 1 – 4 (NKJV)

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 17

Prayer

Prayer: Lord when circumstances threaten to overwhelm me, help me to fix my eyes on you Jesus. To rely on your strength and wisdom and not my own. You are with me every step of the way and will show me the way, one step at a time. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭6 ‬: ‭1 – 2

As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it. For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation. ‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6 ‬: ‭1 – 2‬ NLT

Is today that day? Do you have a friend or loved one that doesn’t know The Lord ? Well today is that day. We as Christians can not save people, but can be used as a conduit for God to reach the unsaved. Our job is to witness by our actions, the love we show, and not only what we do when others are watching, but when they’re not. God has a use for each and everyone of us!!!! Ask him to show you. Today I pray that we would boldly witness to all that are unsaved and on a road to destruction and make today that day for someone……In Jesus name…….be blessed
