GOD IS LEADING YOU ALONG THE HIGH ROAD, but there are descents as well as ascents. – JOHN 21 : 19, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17, HABAKKUK 3 : 19

https://youtu.be/Xwh7eYBo2SU

“GOD IS LEADING YOU ALONG THE HIGH ROAD, but there are descents as well as ascents. In the distance you see snow-covered peaks glistening in brilliant sunlight. Your longing to reach those peaks is good, but you must not take shortcuts. Your assignment is to follow GOD, allowing HIM to direct your path. Let the heights beckon you onward, but stay close to GOD. Learn to trust The LORD when things go “wrong.” Disruptions to your routine highlight your dependence on The LORD. Trusting acceptance of trials brings blessings that far outweigh them all. Walk hand in hand with GOD through this day. The LORD has lovingly planned every inch of the way. Trust does not falter when the path becomes rocky and steep. Breathe deep breaths of GOD’S Presence, and hold tightly to HIS hand. Together you can make it!”

Scripture

Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” JOHN 21 : 19

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17

The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. HABAKKUK 3 : 19

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to develop trusting acceptance of trials and learn to walk hand in hand with you through them. Trusting your good plan and process is sufficient for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭

This scripture has always had a place in my heart, do you hunger for righteousness? Do you thirst for righteousness? The world will take your focus off of being righteous, it’s portrayed as being weak by the world’s standard. As Christians we should strive to be more like Jesus every day. Today’s prayer is that we would all strive to be more like Jesus everyday! Jesus won over sinners with his love and forgiveness there’s a start……..Be Blessed and Love someone today to Jesus

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

COME TO GOD WITH A THANKFUL HEART, so that you can enjoy HIS Presence. – PSALM 118 : 24, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, 6 – 7

https://youtu.be/iWtuszYYhX0

“COME TO GOD WITH A THANKFUL HEART, so that you can enjoy HIS Presence. This is the day that GOD has made. The LORD wants you to rejoice today, refusing to worry about tomorrow. Search for all that GOD has prepared for you, anticipating abundant blessings and accepting difficulties as they come. The LORD can weave miracles into the most mundane day if you keep your focus on HIM. Come to GOD with all your needs, knowing that GOD’S glorious riches are a more-than-adequate supply. Stay in continual communication with The LORD, so that you can live above your circumstances even while you are in the midst of them. Present your requests to GOD with thanksgiving, and GOD’S Peace, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your heart and mind.”

Scripture


This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, 6 – 7 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: God, help me to come to you with all my needs. Knowing that you care and want to be a part of every detail of my life. Your word says to cast my cares on you because you care for me. And when I do, your peace which surpasses all understanding, will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Amen.

John‬ ‭14‬:‭3-4

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” John‬ ‭14‬:‭3-4‬ NIV

Jesus saved the world then left to his rightful place in Heaven. The purpose in his life on earth was to give us a choice, Believe or Not Believe. The events going on in the world today are mind blowing to some, but as Christians we should not be surprised. From the brutal beheadings of Christians in the Middle East to the defining of what marriage should be are clearly spelled out in The Bible, these events are not problems, they’re prophecies!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would understand what needs to be done as Christians, witness to all, love all, and stand strong on the Biblical truth. Jesus loved the sinner, not the Sin and we should be the same way. Be Blessed and leave the judgment to God, Jesus has our place in Heaven……….

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

COME TO GOD, and rest in HIS loving Presence. – MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30, JOSHUA 1 : 5,9

https://youtu.be/gSk6g3aRRr4

“COME TO GOD, and rest in HIS loving Presence. You know that this day will bring difficulties, and you are trying to think your way through those trials. As you anticipate what is ahead of you, you forget that GOD is with you – now and always. Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, whereas you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur. Do not multiply your suffering in this way! Instead, come to GOD, and relax in HIS Peace. GOD will strengthen you and prepare you for this day, transforming your fear into confident trust.”

Scripture

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30

“No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. . . . Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” JOSHUA 1 : 5,9

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me not to rehearse my troubles and instead rest in your presence allowing you to turn my worry into confident trust. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

What are you thinking about? Are you focused on the problem? Are you thinking of all the things around you that are in a struggle? This scripture says to keep focus on The Lord and he will give you perfect peace!!! Not just peace but PERFECT peace. Today I pray that we would focus on Jesus ( the solution) not the problem, and rest in The Lord’s finished work……Be Blessed

GOD’S FACE IS SHINING UPON YOU, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7, MATTHEW 14 : 30, HEBREWS 12 : 2

https://youtu.be/0a1Qty7flsM

“GOD’S FACE IS SHINING UPON YOU, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face to Face with GOD, your Peace. As long as you focus on GOD, you are safe. If you gaze too long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. When you start to sink, simply call out “Help me, Jesus!” and The LORD will lift you up. The closer you live to GOD, the safer you are. Circumstances around you are undulating, and there are treacherous-looking waves in the distance. Fix your eyes on GOD, the One who never changes. By the time those waves reach you, they will have shrunk to proportions of GOD’S design. The LORD is always beside you, helping you face today’s waves. The future is a phantom, seeking to spook you. Laugh at the future! Stay close to GOD.”

Scripture

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” MATTHEW 14 : 30

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. HEBREWS 12 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord even when I’m surrounded by a sea of problems may I meet you in the inner room of my heart, where you always are, and where there is peace that surpasses understanding. Where I can quickly hide away with you, if even for a minute, before returning to the world. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16-17‬

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. ‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16-17‬ NLT

Need direction? Always trying to do better but seem to stay the same? This scripture says to let the Holy Spirit direct you and then you won’t be caught in the sinful nature. Today I pray we all would let the spirit direct our paths and see how life becomes more fulfilling…….Be Blessed

James‬ ‭2‬:‭14-17‬

What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. ‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭14-17‬ NLT

What do you do when you see someone in need? What is your first response? Do you feel the need to help or to just move on? The prompting of the Holy Spirit is always right there telling you what to do…… Today I pray that we would all take the time to help someone in need, Don’t be the judge whether or not they truly need it, just follow your heart….. Remember the true condition of a person’s heart is defined by their actions……Be Blessed

Ephesians‬ ‭1:5-7‬

“he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace” Ephesians‬ ‭1:5-7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To truly understand what Jesus did for us is mind blowing! If God had not sent Jesus to the cross for all of us we would have never had the chance to get into right standing with God. When God sees us he sees us through Jesus, so therefore he sees perfection. Today I pray that we would never forget the grace that has been given to us freely and undeserved. Praise Jesus in all things and be thankful for all you have, the alternative would have been brutal……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
