TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME. | PSALM 84 : 12, MATTHEW 6 : 34

https://youtu.be/o5g0VSrkj8k

“TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME. This keeps you close to The LORD, responsive to HIS will. Trust is not a natural response, especially for those who have been deeply wounded. GOD’S Holy Spirit within you is your resident Tutor, helping you in this supernatural endeavor. Yield to GOD’S gentle touch; be sensitive to HIS prompting. Exert your will to trust GOD in all circumstances. Don’t let your need to understand distract you from HIS Presence. The LORD will equip you to get through this day victoriously, as you live in deep dependence on HIM. Tomorrow is busy worrying about itself; don’t get tangled up in its worry-webs. Trust GOD one day at a time.”

Scripture

O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you. PSALM 84 : 12

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. MATTHEW 6 : 34

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you one day at a time, keeping me close to you, responsive to your will. Help me to exert my will to trust you in all circumstances, even when I don’t understand. You know what’s best for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Personal Note: My Father-In-Law who is 76 this past weekend suffered a major stroke and combined with other health issues he has been placed on hospice care – Please pray for both him and my Mother-In-Law in this time of trial – that he may not suffer and she may have the Faith and Strength to endure.

1 John‬ ‭2 : 5 – 6

​“But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2 : 5 – 6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This scripture breaks it down in such simple terms it’s amazing. If someone asked you if you love GOD what would your response be? Of course it would be YES so if you love GOD don’t you want to try to please HIM at all times? To live like JESUS CHRIST is to live a life that is pleasing to GOD, to have the heart of a servant. Today’s prayer is that we would wake up daily and start our day out by praying “Heavenly Father let me not serve myself today, but serve only you” let YOUR will be done throughout my day and make this day not mine but yours” I believe this confession will help us all live more like JESUS CHRIST …….. 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 FOR UNDERSTANDING, since GOD knows you far better than you know yourself.  | PSALM 139 : 1 – 4,  2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 21 – 22 , JOSHUA 1 : 5

https://youtu.be/4xRMVa89-78

“COME TO GOD FOR UNDERSTANDING, since GOD knows you far better than you know yourself. The LORD comprehends you in all your complexity; no detail of your life is hidden from HIM. GOD views you through eyes of grace, so don’t be afraid of HIS intimate awareness. Allow the Light of The LORD’S healing Presence to shine into the deepest recesses of your being — cleansing, healing, refreshing, and renewing you. Trust GOD enough to accept the full forgiveness that HE offers you continually. This great gift, which cost The LORD, JESUS CHRIST, HIS Life, is yours for all eternity. Forgiveness is at the very core of GOD’S abiding Presence. The LORD will never leave you or forsake you. When no one else seems to understand you, simply draw closer to GOD. Rejoice in the One who understands you completely and loves you perfectly. As GOD fills you with HIS Love, you become a reservoir of love, overflowing into the lives of other people.”

Scripture

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. PSALM 139 : 1 – 4 

Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 21 – 22 

No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. JOSHUA 1 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for viewing me through eyes of grace and for knowing me so deeply and intimately. Even better than I know myself. Teach me to love like you love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Luke‬ ‭12‬ :‭ 48‬

But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required. Luke‬ ‭12‬ :‭ 48‬

Do you have a clear understanding of GOD’S assignment for your life? When you received the gift of salvation did you file it away like a fire insurance policy? JESUS CHRIST left us a task, to go and preach the gospel to all!!!!! To preach doesn’t require a pulpit, and it sometimes is most effective not by words but by your actions. Bible scholars can break The Bible down into a theological understanding, but telling someone about the things JESUS CHRIST has done in your life is priceless…..Today I pray that we would enter the day with boldness to tell someone about JESUS CHRIST, and remember our actions can sometimes be more than words, Don’t preach at someone, show them the truth through your kindness and actions ……… 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

IT IS GOOD THAT YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR WEAKNESS. | PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13, PROVERBS 17 : 22

https://youtu.be/MT7u7NPP3bw

“IT IS GOOD THAT YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR WEAKNESS. That keeps you looking to GOD, Your Strength. Abundant life is not necessarily health and wealth; it is living in continual dependence on GOD. Instead of trying to fit this day into a preconceived mold, relax and be on the lookout for what The LORD is doing. This mind-set will free you to enjoy GOD and to find what HE has planned for you to do. This is far better than trying to make things go according to your own plan. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Lighten up and laugh with The LORD. You have GOD on your side, so what are you worried about? GOD can equip you to do absolutely anything, as long as it is HIS will. The more difficult your day, the more The LORD yearns to help you. Anxiety wraps you up in yourself, trapping you in your own thoughts. When you look to GOD and whisper HIS Name, you break free and receive GOD’S help. Focus on The LORD, and you will find Peace in HIS Presence.”

Scripture

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.  PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17 : 22

Prayer

Prayer: God help me not to take myself so seriously. To enjoy the blessings you’ve given me –  your peace and your presence. Help me release my plans and stay attentive to what You are doing today. When worry creeps in, turn my focus back to You and fill me with Your peace. Amen

1 Peter‬ ‭4 : 7 – 10

“The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter‬ ‭4 : 7 – 10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

My friends, this scripture sends not only a warning but also instruction. To be of a sober mind is to have the mind of CHRIST, and what kind of mind would that be? A mind that only serves the will of GOD. As for the end is near warning I fully believe this is true today as we look at all the situations in the world. Today’s prayer is that we would have the mind of JESUS CHRIST and walk a walk filled with love for all …… 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 LIVE above your circumstances. | JOHN 16 : 33, JOHN 16 : 22

https://youtu.be/PWaBfmpUSwI

“LEARN TO LIVE above your circumstances. This requires focused time with GOD, the One who overcame the world. Trouble and distress are woven into the very fabric of this perishing world. Only The LORD’S Life in you can empower you to face this endless flow of problems with good cheer. As you sit quietly in GOD’S Presence, HE shines Peace into your troubled mind and heart. Little by little, you are freed from earthly shackles and lifted up above your circumstances. You gain The LORD’S perspective on your life, enabling you to distinguish between what is important and what is not. Rest in GOD’S Presence, receiving Joy that no one can take away from you.”

Scripture

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33 (NKJV) 

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. JOHN 16 : 22

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to live above my circumstances by keeping my focus on You. Fill my heart with Your peace and joy, lifting me beyond the troubles of this world. Give me Your perspective so I can walk by faith, not by sight. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭100 : 4

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭100 : 4

What are you thankful for today? Are you thankful in all things? The key to being thankful is in all things, because if you really look hard you will find a reason to be thankful in all things. Today’s prayer is that we would be thankful for the good and the bad, because GOD will turn the tests into testimonies, and the good for HIS glory ……. Be Blessed

John‬ ‭8‬ :‭ 12

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John‬ ‭8‬ :‭ 12‬ NLT

JESUS CHRIST brought light into a darkened world, from the beginning GOD’S plan was to have a perfect life for mankind But that was lost in the garden win sin entered. Today JESUS CHRIST has conquered that sin once and for all!!! As believers we have that eternal light, that eternal life. Today I pray that even in this darkened world that we would let our light shine knowing the eternal promise we have in JESUS CHRIST ….. Be Blessed!

‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11 ‬: ‭5‬

​​As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. ‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11 ‬: ‭5‬ NIV

Trying to figure out everything that is going on in the world and in your life will always end with the same result “you will never understand”. Worry and control are extremely exhausting, Today’s prayer is that we would trust in The LORD and all HIS ways, as The Bible says all things work for the good of those who love 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
