SEEK TO PLEASE GOD above all else. – JOHN 8 : 29, HEBREWS 11 : 5 – 6, PSALM 37 : 4

https://youtu.be/bkSzesJSfJI

“SEEK TO PLEASE GOD above all else. As you journey through today, there will be many choice-points along your way. Most of the day’s decisions will be small ones you have to make quickly. You need some rule of thumb to help you make good choices. Many people’s decisions are a combination of their habitual responses and their desire to please themselves or others. This is not GOD’S way for you. Strive to please The LORD in everything, not just in major decisions. This is possible only to the extent that you are living in close communion with The LORD. When GOD’S Presence is your deepest delight, you know almost instinctively what will please HIM. A quick glance at GOD is all you need to make the right choice. Delight yourself in The LORD more and more; seek HIS pleasure in all you do.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” JOHN 8 : 29

By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. HEBREWS 11 : 5 – 6

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

Prayer: Lord help me to seek to please you above all else and may every decision I make big of small be pleasing to you. Show me any areas I need to work on and make in me a new heart Lord, one that’s completely aligned with your good and pleasing and perfect will. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

I John 1:5-7

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. I John 1:5-7 NKJV

It is so important as Christians to let our light shine, it is so easy when trials arise to shut the light off and let the dark show and that is exactly what the devil wants. To have true fellowship with The Lord is defined by our actions, remember non believers and some believers are watching what we do under the gun. Today I pray that we all would light our light shine to the glory of God, for he created light and he is light………..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 ‭29‬:‭13‬

If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭13‬ NLT

Are you looking to the Lord in every situation or just in those that are beneficial to you? This scripture says “Wholeheartedly ” with all you have, the good and the bad. Today I pray that we would seek God in the storm, and when everything is going perfect……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

Prayer in the morning in a beautiful sunrise.

YOU CAN LIVE AS CLOSE TO GOD as you choose. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 12, GENESIS 28 : 15, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

https://youtu.be/vS9PAWN28Qk

“YOU CAN LIVE AS CLOSE TO GOD as you choose. GOD sets up no barriers between you; neither does GOD tear down barriers that you erect. People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. So they pour their energy into trying to control those situations. They feel happy when things are going well, and sad or frustrated when things don’t turn out as they’d hoped. They rarely question this correlation between their circumstances and feelings. Yet it is possible to be content in any and every situation. Put more energy into trusting GOD and enjoying HIS Presence. Don’t let your well-being depend on your circumstances. Instead, connect your joy to GOD’S precious promises: GOD is with you and will watch over you wherever you go. GOD will meet all your needs according to HIS glorious riches from HIS Love.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 12

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” GENESIS 28 : 15

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

Prayer: Lord help me to be content in any and every situation, whether things are going my way or not, whether others are kind or helpful or not. You are all I need Jesus. You are enough. In your precious name I pray. Amen.

WALK PEACEFULLY WITH GOD through this day. – EXODUS 33 : 14, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25, HEBREWS 13 : 20 – 21, PSALM 29 : 11

https://youtu.be/sErVPustOVY

“WALK PEACEFULLY WITH GOD through this day. You are wondering how you will cope with all that is expected of you. You must traverse this day like any other: one step at a time. Instead of mentally rehearsing how you will do this or that, keep your mind on GOD’S Presence and on taking the next step. The more demanding your day, the more help you can expect from GOD. This is a training opportunity, since GOD designed you for deep dependence on your Shepherd-King. Challenging times wake you up and amplify your awareness of needing GOD’S help. When you don’t know what to do, wait while GOD opens the way before you. Trust that GOD knows what HE is doing, and be ready to follow HIS lead. GOD will give strength to you, and GOD will bless you with Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14

The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days. DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25

May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. HEBREWS 13 : 20 – 21

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. PSALM 29 : 11

Prayer: Lord help me to walk peacefully with you through the day today. Keep my mind on your presence and following your lead step by step. I know you give me uniquely enough daily bread for each day. You know exactly how much I will need today. Thank you Lord for always taking care of me perfectly. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭43:2

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” Isaiah‬ ‭43:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Life can be difficult at times, situations can make it seem like there is no hope. This scripture reminds us of Gods promise to his people. Today’s prayer is that when situations get overwhelming that we would lean on God and his promises……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

EVERYTIME something thwarts your plans or desires, use that as a reminder to communicate with GOD. – COLOSSIANS 4 : 2, PHILIPPIANS 3 : 7 – 8

https://youtu.be/G4lnOWgtV0Y

“EVERYTIME something thwarts your plans or desires, use that as a reminder to communicate with GOD. This practice has several benefits. The first is obvious: Talking with GOD blesses you and strengthens your relationship. Another benefit is that disappointments, instead of dragging you down, are transformed into opportunities for good. This transformation removes the sting from difficult circumstances, making it possible to be joyful in the midst of adversity. Begin by practicing this discipline in all the little disappointments of daily life. It is often these minor setbacks that draw you away from GOD’S Presence. When you re-frame setbacks as opportunities, you find that you gain much more than you have lost. It is only after much training that you can accept major losses in this positive way. But it is possible to attain the perspective of the apostle Paul, who wrote: Compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus, I consider everything I once treasured to be as insignificant as rubbish.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ. PHILIPPIANS 3 : 7 – 8

Prayer: Lord when the little disappointments of life happen, help me to use them as a time to communicate with you which blesses me and strengthens our relationship. May I see setbacks as opportunities to learn and talk with you and like Paul, learn to be content in every situation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬

“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

All of Gods people should be praying this scripture NOW!!!!!! God’s land is so broken and such a mess! Everything we see from the homeless to the high on the hill are broken. When sin becomes the normal we are in trouble. Today’s prayer is we all should be on our knees praying God would heal his land and restore it to peace and good……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

GROW STRONG in the Light of GOD’S Presence. – PSALM 116 : 5 – 7, EPHESIANS 5 : 20, ISAIAH 30 : 15

https://youtu.be/Jn2EZAiW1i8

“GROW STRONG in the Light of GOD’S Presence. Your weakness does not repel GOD. On the contrary, it attracts GOD’S Power, which is always available to flow into a yielded heart. Do not condemn yourself for your constant need of help. Instead, come to GOD with your gaping neediness; let the Light of GOD’S Love fill you. A yielded heart does not whine or rebel when the going gets rough. It musters the courage to thank GOD even during hard times. Yielding yourself to GOD’S will is ultimately an act of trust. In quietness and trust is your strength.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The LORD protects the simple hearted; when I was in great need, he saved me. Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. PSALM 116 : 5 – 7

. . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20

This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” ISAIAH 30 : 15

Prayer: Lord may the light of your love fill me. I yield my heart to your will Father. Be at rest again, oh my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Acts ‭4‬:‭12

There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” (‭Acts ‭4‬:‭12‬ NLT)

I hear this statement made so often ” I’m a good person I’m ok” well friends unfortunately being a good person won’t get you to heaven!!!! In this scripture Luke states that there is no other name, or other way but Jesus Christ!!!!! Today I pray that all that are not saved would come to realize that being a good and nice person won’t save you, that only Jesus can save…….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
