“The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent.”” Exodus 14:14
Human nature is to fix everything yourself! When in reality we should trust God to fix the problem. As Christians we need to live The Word, not the world. Today’s prayer is we would stay calm when troubles arise and let God do what he does……..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 LOVES YOU with an everlasting Love. The human mind cannot comprehend GOD’S constancy. Your emotions flicker and falter in the face of varying circumstances, and you tend to project your fickle feelings onto GOD. Thus, you do not benefit fully from GOD’S unfailing Love. You need to look beyond the flux of circumstances and discover The LORD gazing lovingly back at you. This awareness of GOD’S Presence strengthens you, as you receive and respond to HIS Love. GOD is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Let The LORD’S Love flow into you continually. Your need for GOD is as constant as the outflow of GOD’S Love to you.” – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” JEREMIAH 31 : 3
“In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.” EXODUS 15 : 13
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13 : 8
Prayer: God help me to have the power to understand how wide and long and high and deep your love is. And give me eyes to see others through your eyes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”” John 8:7-11 NKJV
A lot of Christians say God loves me just as I am and this is true, but he does not love our sin and wants us to change. Today’s prayer is that we would let God shape our lives without sin so that we can live a life that is pleasing to him in all areas……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
“IN ORDER TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE, you must release all your worries into HIS care. Entrust to GOD everything that concerns you. This clears the way for you to seek GOD’S Face unhindered. Let The LORD free you from fear that is hiding deep inside you. Sit quietly in The LORD’S Presence, allowing HIS Light to soak into you and drive out any darkness lodged within you. Accept each day just as it comes to you, remembering that The LORD is sovereign over your life. Rejoice in this day that GOD has made, trusting that GOD is abundantly present in it. Instead of regretting or resenting the way things are, thank The LORD in all circumstances. Trust GOD and don’t be fearful; thank GOD and rest in HIS sovereignty.”
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18
Prayer: Lord I want to hear your voice so help me to release all my worries into your care. Free me from any fear hiding inside me. As I spend time with you, may your light drive out all darkness in me and when others look at me may they see you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“BE WILLING TO FOLLOW wherever GOD leads. Follow GOD wholeheartedly, with glad anticipation quickening your pace. Though you don’t know what lies ahead, GOD knows; and that is enough! Some of GOD’S richest blessings are just around the bend: out of sight, but nonetheless very real. To receive these gifts, you must walk by faith-—not by sight. This doesn’t mean closing your eyes to what is all around you. It means subordinating the visible world to the invisible Shepherd of your soul. Sometimes GOD leads you up a high mountain with only HIS hand to support you. The higher you climb, the more spectacular the view becomes; also, the more keenly you sense your separation from the world with all its problems. This frees you to experience exuberantly the joyous reality of GOD’S Presence. Give yourself fully to these Glory-moments, awash in dazzling Light. GOD will eventually lead you down the mountain, back into community with others. Let The LORD’S Light continue to shine within you as you walk among people again.”
We live by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7
Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary. PSALM 96 : 6
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. PSALM 36 : 9
Prayer: God I am willing to follow wherever you lead. I don’t know what lies ahead, but you do, and I trust your plan is for my good. Help me to be salt and light to the lost. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;” Colossians 4:2
Prayer is so important!!!! Have you ever noticed when you pray at night it’s so easy to be distracted? Yawn? Cut it short because you’re sooooo tired? I have, and that is the devil’s way of keeping you away from God!!!! Today’s prayer is to enter our prayer life with might and thanksgiving!!! Rebuke the distraction!!! Rebuke the yawn!!!! Rebuke sleepiness!!! And draw near to the Lord………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
“REMEMBER THAT JOY is not dependent on your circumstances. Some of the world’s most miserable people are those whose circumstances seem the most enviable. People who reach the top of the ladder career-wise are often surprised to find emptiness awaiting them. True Joy is a by-product of living in GOD’S Presence. Therefore you can experience it in palaces, in prisons . . . anywhere. Do not judge a day as devoid of Joy just because it contains difficulties. Instead, concentrate on staying in communication with GOD. Many of the problems that clamor for your attention will resolve themselves. Other matters you must deal with, but The LORD will help you with them. If you make problem-solving secondary to the goal of living close to GOD, you can find Joy even in your most difficult days.”
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. 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 : 17 – 19
Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy in his dwelling place. 1 CHRONICLES 16 : 27
Prayer: Lord help me to make living close to you my #1 priority and see how many problems resolve themselves. The rest I know you will be with me through the valley. Thank you for your ever present help. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”” Acts 23:11 NIV
Do you feel sometimes like your assignment is fulfilled? Nope!!!! I believe our assignment is life long. Paul knew that going to Rome would be his final assignment of the Lord but was obedient to the end. Opposition awaits us as believers but the gospel is life changing in places that we would least expect. Today’s prayer is that we against our fears would be obedient to our assignments and pray up before heading into them……..Be Blessed
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
“GOD IS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: Lord of all that is and all that will ever be. Although GOD is unimaginably vast, HE chooses to dwell within you, permeating you with HIS Presence. Only in the spirit realm could someone so infinitely great live within someone so very small. Be awed by the Power and the Glory of GOD’S Holy Spirit within you! Though the Holy Spirit is infinite, He deigns to be your Helper. He is always ready to offer assistance; all you need to do is ask. When the path before you looks easy and straightforward, you may be tempted to go it alone instead of relying on GOD. This is when you are in the greatest danger of stumbling. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to help you as you go each step of the way. Never neglect this glorious source of strength within you.”
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” JOHN 14 : 16 – 17 (NKJV)
“But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” JOHN 16 : 7
So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.” ZECHARIAH 4 : 6
Prayer: Lord thank you for your Holy Spirit who lives within me. He is my helper, guide, my comforter and counselor. Who am I that God would live in me? Help me to rely on You more often this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.” Colossians 3:12-13
Forgiveness is not very common this day and age ! Life is so short and we are not promised tomorrow, so why hold the grudge? Today’s prayer is we would all live a life full of forgiveness, kindness, humility and love……Be Blessed
