Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. Romans 8:18 NLT
Sometimes life can feel like you’re never gonna get a break, only bad things happen to you, feels like you’re gonna break, but The Bible says consider all of that nothing compared to our eternal life. Today I pray strength and comfort for all that are going through a trial, and that the future that we have in Christ trumps all of the earth’s troubles……..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
For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. Colossians 1:19-22 NLT
Isn’t it nice to know that as believers Jesus has brought us into good standing before almighty God!!!! Under the covenant of Grace And by the Blood of Jesus we have been saved from eternal suffering. Today I pray that we all would embrace just how much God loves us, and remember it’s not what we can do for God, it’s what God has done for us…..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
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. Matthew 5:14-16 NLT
Is it time to change out your light bulb? Are you shining that light bright? Jesus said we are the light of the world to shine bright and be a witness to the father. Today I pray that all would shine that light so bright that people cannot help but to see Jesus in you…….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
“HEAVEN IS both present and future. As you walk along your life-path holding GOD’S hand, you are already in touch with the essence of heaven: nearness to GOD. You can also find many hints of heaven along your pathway, because the earth is radiantly alive with The LORD’S Presence. Shimmering sunshine awakens your heart, gently reminding you of GOD’S brilliant Light. Birds and flowers, trees and skies evoke praises to HIS holy Name. Keep your eyes and ears fully open as you journey with The LORD. At the end of your life-path is an entrance to heaven. Only GOD knows when you will reach that destination, but GOD is preparing you for it each step of the way. The absolute certainty of your heavenly home gives you Peace and Joy, to help you along your journey. You know that you will reach your home in GOD’S perfect timing: not one moment too soon or too late. Let the hope of heaven encourage you, as you walk along the path of Life with The LORD.”
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 20 – 23
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 19
Prayer: Lord thank you for the absolute certainty of my Heavenly home one day. Without Jesus’ covering my sins, that would not be possible. Thank you, thank you sweet Jesus. Help me to enjoy today’s journey because I know my future is secure. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8 NLT
What are you constantly thinking of? Are your thoughts on things of the day, or things of God ? Paul writes about thinking of all the things that are worthy of praise, not the troubles and worries. Today I pray that all would keep the blessings of God in their thoughts and give him thanks for all he has done, all he is doing, and all he will do……..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
“WHEN GOD GIVES YOU no special guidance, stay where you are. Concentrate on doing your everyday tasks in awareness of GOD’S Presence with you. The Joy of The LORD’s Presence will shine on you, as you do everything for CHRIST. Thus you invite GOD into every aspect of your life. Through collaborating with GOD in all things, you allow HIS Life to merge with yours. This is the secret not only of joyful living but also of victorious living. GOD designed you to depend on HIM moment by moment, recognizing that apart from The LORD you can do nothing. Be thankful for quiet days, when nothing special seems to be happening. Instead of being bored by the lack of action, use times of routine to seek GOD’S Face. Although this is an invisible transaction, it speaks volumes in spiritual realms. Moreover, you are richly blessed when you walk trustingly with GOD through the routines of your day.”
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. COLOSSIANS 3 : 23
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4
Prayer: Lord help me to concentrate on my everyday tasks in awareness of your presence with me. To abide in you while you prune away anything that doesn’t look like Jesus in me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11 NLT
What kind of attitude did Jesus have? The scripture says he laid aside his Divine nature and humbled himself as a man. Can you imagine the frustration Jesus had being rejected and mocked through his whole ministry? Today I pray that we all would have the same mind as Christ, knowing that when we are not treated right or go through trials that Jesus is right there with us saying ” I know what rejection feels like and I have you in my arms”……..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
“TRUSTING GOD is a moment-by-moment choice. GOD’S people have not always understood this truth. After GOD performed miracles in the wilderness, HIS chosen children trusted HIM intensely—but only temporarily. Soon the grumbling began again, testing GOD’S patience to the utmost. Isn’t it often the same way with you? You trust The LORD when things go well, when you see CHRIST working on your behalf. This type of trust flows readily within you, requiring no exertion of your will. When things go wrong, your trust-flow slows down and solidifies. You are forced to choose between trusting GOD intentionally or rebelling: resenting The LORD’s ways with you. This choice constitutes a fork in the road. Stay on the path of Life with GOD, enjoying GOD’S Presence. Choose to trust GOD in all circumstances.”
Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.) So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?” Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them. EXODUS 1 : 22 – 25
But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.” PSALM 31 : 14
Prayer: Lord, I want to trust You in all circumstances. Through the highest mountains and the darkest valleys. You promise to be with me through it all. Help me to stay close to you as my rock, my strength, my everything – all the days of my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. 1 Corinthians 10:13 NLT
Have you ever been in a situation that makes you feel like there’s no way out? Temptation is a stronghold of the devil. As believers we are to focus on things of God, not things of the world. Today I pray that in the time of temptation that we would thank God for his grace to help us overcome the temptation, and confess that we are the righteous of God through Christ Jesus …….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
“THIS IS THE DAY THAT GOD HAS MADE. Rejoice and be glad in it. Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that GOD is pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since GOD is the Author of your circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank The LORD for them. This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees GOD to work HIS ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it. To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. The LORD knew what HE was doing when HE divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. GOD understands human frailty, and GOD knows that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in The LORD’S Presence today.”
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 3 : 13 – 14
Prayer: Lord help me to begin today with open hands, ready to receive whatever you have for me, whether the path is smooth or bumpy. I trust you know what’s best. Help me cling to your hand and remain grateful throughout the day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
