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 EXPECT to be treated fairly in this life. People will say and do hurtful things to you, things that you don’t deserve. When someone mistreats you, try to view it as an opportunity to grow in grace. See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you. Don’t be concerned about setting the record straight. Instead of obsessing about other people’s opinions of you, keep your focus on GOD. Ultimately, it is GOD’S view of you that counts. As you concentrate on relating to The LORD, remember that GOD has clothed you in HIS righteousness and holiness. GOD’S see you attired in these radiant garments, which Jesus Christ, The LORD bought for you with HIS blood. This also is not fair; it is a pure gift. When others treat you unfairly, remember that GOD’S ways with you are much better than fair. GOD’S ways are Peace and Love, which The LORD has poured out into your heart by HIS Holy Spirit.”
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. COLOSSIANS 3 : 13
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. EPHESIANS 1 : 7 – 8
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. ROMANS 5 : 5
Prayer: Lord thank you for reminding me not to expect to be treated fairly in this life. Help me to forgive others just as you have forgiven me time and time again. Thank you for your amazing grace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“AS YOU BECOME increasingly aware of GOD’S Presence, you find it easier to discern the way you should go. This is one of the practical benefits of living close to GOD. Instead of wondering about what is on the road ahead or worrying about what you should do if . . . or when . . ., you can concentrate on staying in communication with The LORD. When you actually arrive at a choice-point, GOD will show you which direction to go. Many people are so preoccupied with future plans and decisions that they fail to see choices they need to make today. Without any conscious awareness, they make their habitual responses. People who live this way find a dullness creeping into their lives. They sleepwalk through their days, following well-worn paths of routine. GOD, the Creator of the universe, is the most creative Being imaginable. GOD will not leave you circling in deeply rutted paths. Instead, The LORD will lead you along fresh trails of adventure, revealing to you things you did not know. Stay in communication with GOD. Follow The LORD’S guiding Presence.”
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. PSALM 32 : 8
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. GENESIS 1 : 1
Prayer: Lord, help me to concentrate on staying in communication with you so I can learn to hear your voice more clearly and discern the way to go. Help me to let go of the unknowns in the future and focus on what you have for me today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“What mighty praise, O God, belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, for you answer our prayers. All of us must come to you.” Psalms 65:1-2 NLT
God is our refuge!!!!! End of story!!! When we are down we have God, when we are stressed we have God, when we are blessed we have God!!! Today’s prayer is WE HAVE GOD ALL THE TIME!!!! Give thanks and know he is always there…….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
“COME TO GOD when you are hurting, and GOD will soothe your pain. Come to GOD when you are joyful, and GOD will share your Joy, multiplying it many times over. The LORD is All you need, just when you need it. Your deepest desires find fulfillment in GOD alone. This is the age of self-help. Bookstores abound with books about “taking care of number one,” making oneself the center of all things. The main goal of these methodologies is to become self-sufficient and confident. You, however, have been called to take a “road less traveled”: continual dependence on The LORD. True confidence comes from knowing you are complete in GOD’S Presence. Everything you need has its counterpart in The LORD.”
“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
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. JAMES 1 : 4
Prayer: God teach me that you are all I need, just when I need it. My deepest desires find fulfillment in you alone. And in you alone I find true rest. Thank you Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
“GOD IS WITH YOU, for all time and throughout eternity. Don’t let the familiarity of that concept numb its impact on your consciousness. GOD’S perpetual Presence with you can be a continual source of Joy, springing up and flowing out in streams of abundant Life. Let your mind reverberate with meanings of HIS Names: Jesus—the Lord saves, and Emmanuel—God with us. Strive to remain conscious of GOD’S Presence even in your busiest moments. Talk with The LORD about whatever delights you, whatever upsets you, whatever is on your mind. These tiny steps of daily discipline, taken one after the other, will keep you close to GOD on the path of Life.”
“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” . . . “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 21,23
“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.” ACTS 2 : 28
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your perpetual presence. Help me to talk with you more today than I did yesterday throughout my day, when I do I remind myself you are with me, with you all things are possible. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“The godly will rejoice in the Lord and find shelter in him. And those who do what is right will praise him.” Psalms 64:10 NLT
What is right? What is wrong? I believe we are all born with a moral compass and it’s up to us to know the difference!!! To be the best person you can be will bring satisfaction not only to you but bring happiness to God, to be an ugly, mean person will bring you hurt and bring sorrow to God!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would be the best person we can be!!! Be kind to all, don’t judge, don’t slander, don’t gossip and see the joy that comes into your life……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 satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.” Psalms 63:5 NLT
The satisfaction of knowing that God almighty loves us more than anyone in this world could ever love us should bring a peace over us that is indescribable!!!! Today’s prayer is that when someone we love hurts us or wrongs us, just remember who has eternal love and show it in return……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
“LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES of Peace. Learn to unwind whenever possible, resting in the Presence of your Shepherd. This electronic age keeps GOD’S children “wired” much of the time, too tense to find The LORD in the midst of their moments. GOD built into your very being the need for rest. How twisted the world has become when people feel guilty about meeting this basic need! How much time and energy they waste by being always on the go, rather than taking time to seek GOD’S direction for their lives. GOD has called you to walk with HIM down paths of Peace. GOD wants you to blaze a trail for others who desire to live in HIS peaceful Presence. GOD has chosen you less for your strengths than for your weaknesses, which amplify your need for HIM. Depend on GOD more and more, and The LORD will shower Peace on all your paths.”
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. PSALM 23 : 1 – 3
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. GENESIS 2 : 2 – 3
“ . . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79
Prayer: Lord teach me to lie down in green pastures of peace. To rest in your presence, often. To be still and know you are God. To listen for your direction before I go. Quiet my spirit Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
