GOD CONTINUALLY CALLS YOU to closeness with HIM – PSALM 131 : 2, PSALM 21 : 6, PSALM 37 : 7

“GOD CONTINUALLY CALLS YOU to closeness with HIM. GOD knows the depth and breadth of your need for HIM. GOD can read the emptiness of your thoughts when they wander away from HIM. GOD offers rest for your soul, as well as refreshment for your mind and body. As you increasingly find fulfillment in The LORD, other pleasures become less important. Knowing The LORD intimately is like having a private wellspring of Joy within you. This spring flows freely from GOD’S throne of grace, so your Joy is independent of circumstances. Waiting in The LORD’S Presence keeps you connected to GOD, aware of all that HE offers you. If you feel any deficiency, you need to refocus your attention on GOD. This is how you trust The LORD in the moments of your life.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. PSALM 131 : 2

Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. PSALM 37 : 7

Prayer: Lord when I make time for you, you offer me rest for my soul and refreshment for my mind and body. It’s so amazing the creator of the stars wants to spend time with me and give me such good gifts when I do. Help me to put you first in my life so that despite any circumstance I can have peace and joy because of you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭34‬

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. (‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭34‬ NLT)

No matter where you’re at, No matter what circumstance you’re going through, God is faithful!!!! He is always there and Jesus always has his hand upon the situation. Today I pray that in the middle of the storm we will praise his holy name!!!! And instead of asking him to bring us through the situation, Thank him for bringing us through the situation in his perfect timing…….Be Blessed

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

Price of 2 Sparrows – Matthew‬ ‭10:29-31‬

“What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.” Matthew‬ ‭10:29-31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Do you ever feel unworthy? Ever wonder if you’re good enough? Well you can be assured by mans standards you will probably never be good enough, but by God almighty’s standard you are perfect. Today’s prayer is that we would live to please God !! Live by Gods example….. 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

EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world – REVELATION 19 : 1 , PSALM 91 : 1

“EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. Stop trying to find a way that circumvents difficulties. The main problem with an easy life is that it masks your need for GOD. When you became a Christian, GOD infused HIS very Life into you, empowering you to live on a supernatural plane by depending on GOD. Anticipate coming face to face with impossibilities: situations totally beyond your ability to handle. This awareness of your inadequacy is not something you should try to evade. It is precisely where The LORD wants you—the best place to encounter The LORD in HIS Glory and Power. When you see armies of problems marching toward you, cry out to GOD! Allow The LORD to fight for you. Watch GOD working on your behalf, as you rest in the shadow of HIS Almighty Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, . . .” REVELATION 19 : 1

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. PSALM 91 : 1

Prayer: Lord thank you that in trials you teach me to depend on you. Fight the battle for me Lord, and help me to let go and rest in your presence. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭5

Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭5‬ NLT

Is it hard for you to ask for help? Do you fell like you are weak if you do ask for help? God is waiting with open arms to help us through any situation or struggle, weakness comes from those who are proud, strength comes to those who humble themselves at the foot of the cross. Today I pray that we would all turn to Jesus for the solution, not the world…….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

FIND GOD in the midst of the maelstrom – PHILIPPIANS 2 : 9 – 11, ISAIAH 43 : 1,

“FIND GOD in the midst of the maelstrom. Sometimes events whirl around you so quickly that they become a blur. Whisper The LORD’S Name in recognition that HE is still with you. Without skipping a beat in the activities that occupy you, you find strength and Peace through praying GOD’S Name. Later, when the happenings have run their course, you can talk with The LORD more fully. Accept each day just as it comes to you. Do not waste your time and energy wishing for a different set of circumstances. Instead, trust GOD enough to yield to HIS design and purposes. Remember that nothing can separate you from The LORD’S loving Presence; you are HIS.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 9 – 11

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. ISAIAH 43 : 1

Prayer: Lord help me to find you in the midst of the storm. To whisper your name, Jesus, to remind myself you are still with me and you are still in control. I surrender it all to you Lord. Help me to be salt and light in the darkness this week. For your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Test all things, hold all to Gods genuine truth, and be Strong and Courageous!! Jeremiah 28: 13-17

Jeremiah 28: 13-17 NKJV; God commands Jeremiah, his prophet, to rebuke a false prophet named Hananiah who proclaimed that The kingdom of Judah’s subservience to Babylon would soon be over and that Judah’s King and temple treasures would be returned from Babylonian captivity

13 “Go and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made in their place yokes of iron.” 14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him. I have given him the beasts of the field also.” ’ ”

15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Hear now, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie. 16 Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against the Lord.’ ”

17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Life is not easy and the truth can be quite bitter especially if it proclaims the consequences of sin. As such mankind prefers to hear and believe sweet lies over the bitter truth. This is dangerous both for those who believe the lie and those who proclaim or spread it.

If you believe a lie you have a false foundation for your beliefs and expectations thus leaving you confused, angry, unprepared, and with crushed spirit when the lie is proven false. Those who falsely proclaim truth and spread lies and thus lead Gods people astray face dire consequences just as Hananiah did. Therefore those who wish to spread the word of God must be thoroughly honest with themselves and their audience so they do not corrupt and adulterate Gods word and truth for those who are seeking him.

Test all things, hold all to Gods genuine truth, and be Strong and Courageous!! Amen!!

Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭3

Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ NLT)

How do people view you? Are you kind and caring? Do you lend a helping hand when it’s needed? Today I pray we would all put this proverb to work and be kind and helpful to all we can…..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

Psalm‬ ‭62:5-6

“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” Psalm‬ ‭62:5-6‬ ‭

Circumstances can consume your day and even your life. The key to peace is were it comes from. The Lord is the only true peace we have, to trust and depend on him is key. Today’s prayer is that our foundation would be the Lord! Don’t look at the problem, look through the problem the solution is on the other side waiting, Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…..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

Jeremiah 1:4-8 NKJV

The words of the Lord God of Israel to Jeremiah his prophet who would announce God’s coming judgments and punishments on the kingdoms of Judah and Israel due to their multi-generational rebellion against God: Jeremiah 1:4-8 NKJV

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Then said I: “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” But the LORD said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD.

God knew all of us before we were even born. He claimed us as his own, and has great plans for us. For those plans to be fulfilled we must honor God, keep his commandments, fill the world with his message, and keep our hearts pure. If not the spiritual joy and relationship he reserves for us can not exist and we will walk in darkness and shame. Be strong and courageous, encourage one another, and keep the faith. Amen!!
