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

https://youtu.be/dfEupB3Nzec

“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 The LORD. This is a training opportunity, since GOD designed you for deep dependence on HIM, 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 The LORD knows what HE is doing, and be ready to follow HIS lead. GOD will give strength to you, and The LORD will bless you with Peace.”

Scripture

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

Prayer: Lord thank you the more demanding my day, the more I can expect your help when I give up control to you. Help me to view challenging times as reminders of how much I need your help. Give me strength and peace to do your good works today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Philippians ‭3 : 20

“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;” Philippians ‭3 : 20‬ ‭NASB‬‬

As I read this scripture the song “Waiting on the dock of a bay” strikes me. We all are waiting for something in this life. Is it our permanent home or something else? Today’s prayer is that we would Love hard, Be loyal, be transparent, and be the best us we can be in the Lord’s eyes not the world’s …….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

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED by the difficulty of keeping your focus on GOD. – ROMANS 8 : 33 – 34, HEBREWS 4 : 14 – 16

https://youtu.be/rpG5Y-wdJR0

“DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED by the difficulty of keeping your focus on GOD. GOD knows that your heart’s desire is to be aware of HIS Presence continually. This is a lofty goal; you aim toward it but never fully achieve it in this life. Don’t let feelings of failure weigh you down. Instead, try to see yourself as GOD sees you. First of all, GOD is delighted by your deep desire to walk closely with HIM through your life. GOD is pleased each time you initiate communication with HIM. In addition, GOD notices the progress you have made since you first resolved to live in HIS Presence. When you realize that your mind has wandered away from GOD, don’t be alarmed or surprised. You live in a world that has been rigged to distract you. Each time you plow your way through the massive distractions to communicate with GOD, you achieve a victory. Rejoice in these tiny triumphs, and they will increasingly light up your days.”

Scripture

Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. ROMANS 8 : 33 – 34

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. HEBREWS 4 : 14 – 16

Prayer

Prayer: God I am so grateful for your grace and patience. And because you lived on earth as man, you understand every temptation, distraction, and feeling I could ever have. I can come to you for every need. I find my rest in you. In Jesus’ precious 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 so often made ” 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 will 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

James‬ ‭4 : 7 – 8‬

“So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4 : 7 – 8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Where does your loyalty lie? Are you battling a spiritual warfare today? Are your motives pure ? This scripture I believe describes most of us at a certain time. Today’s prayer is that we would all humble ourselves before God Almighty and ask for the strength to battle the war within, To give us pure motives in all we do, and for us to be loyal to God as he is to 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

‭Matthew‬ ‭6 : 21

“Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” ‭Matthew‬ ‭6 : 21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Where are your treasures? What is your most loved thing that you have ? Do you love it more than God? Ouch I know hit me hard also!!!! Sometimes we tend to value our possessions so much we can put them before our Heavenly Father. Today’s prayer is that we would know that all of our things are just things!!!!! Pray about everything and always have your priorities straight!!!!! 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

LEARN TO LISTEN TO GOD even while you are listening to other people. – EXODUS 3 : 5, 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19, JOHN 7 : 38 – 39

https://youtu.be/7ZlrU-kBbaI

“LEARN TO LISTEN TO GOD even while you are listening to other people. As they open their souls to your scrutiny, you are on holy ground. You need the help of GOD’S Holy Spirit to respond appropriately. Ask The LORD to think through you, live through you, love through you. GOD’S own Being is alive within you in the Person of the Holy Spirit. If you respond to others’ needs through your unaided thought processes, you offer them dry crumbs. When the Holy Spirit empowers your listening and speaking, GOD’S streams of living water flow through you to other people. Be a channel of GOD’S Love, Joy, and Peace by listening to GOD as you listen to others.”

Scripture

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” EXODUS 3 : 5

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. JOHN 7 : 38 – 39

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for your Holy Spirit who is God and knows everything about everything, past, present, and future – and who lives in me. Holy Spirit think through me, live through me, and love through me – help me to listen and speak what you tell me. Use me Lord to be an encouragement to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 18‬ NLT

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. ‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 18‬ NLT

Sometimes it seems like the attacks are never ending, we are surrounded by evil all day every day, but in this scripture Paul writes take heart God will deliver us from all evil. God’s plan for us is not to suffer but to have peace and joy knowing what awaits us when this life is done. Today I pray that we would all meditate on this scripture and know that we serve an all loving, caring, and protecting God ……. 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

GOD IS WITH YOU. GOD IS with you. GOD IS with you. – JEREMIAH 29 : 12 – 13, JOHN 10 : 14, 27 – 28

https://youtu.be/VKZ2JeFMrYE

“GOD IS WITH YOU. GOD IS with you. GOD IS with you. Heaven’s bells continually peal with that promise of GOD’S Presence. Some people never hear those bells because their minds are earthbound and their hearts are closed to The LORD. Others hear the bells only once or twice in their lifetimes, in rare moments of seeking GOD above all else. The LORD’S desire is that HIS “sheep” hear HIS voice continually, for GOD is the ever-present Shepherd. Quietness is the classroom where you learn to hear GOD’S voice. Beginners need a quiet place in order to still their minds. As you advance in this discipline, you gradually learn to carry the stillness with you wherever you go. When you step back into the mainstream of life, strain to hear those glorious bells: GOD is with you. GOD is with you. GOD is with you.”

Scripture

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. JEREMIAH 29 : 12 – 13

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me. . . . “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.” JOHN 10 : 14, 27 – 28

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to set my mind on eternity and listen for your voice more often. Help me to prioritize finding a quiet place each day to still my mind and feel your presence with me, filling me with peace and joy that surpasses understanding. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ephesians‬ ‭3 ‬: ‭19‬

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. ‭Ephesians‬ ‭3 ‬: ‭19‬ NLT

Sometimes we let the circumstances defeat us, we feel like the whole world is against us!!!! Take heart and know the God who loves us and saved us from eternal hell. God’s plans for us are to prosper and excel, not live defeated in a broken world ….. today I pray that all would understand the love that God has for each and every one of us, he is always with us to see us through the trials …….. 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
