BE STILL IN GOD’S PRESENCE, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. – ROMANS 12 : 2, REVELATION 2 : 4, COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

https://youtu.be/zqCE0r4RCAc

“BE STILL IN GOD’S PRESENCE, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. Nothing is as important as spending time with GOD. While you wait in The LORD’S Presence, GOD does HIS best work within you: transforming you by the renewing of your mind. If you skimp on this time with GOD, you may plunge headlong into the wrong activities, missing the richness of what HE has planned for you. Do not seek The LORD primarily for what HE can give you. Remember that GOD, the Giver, is infinitely greater than any gift HE might impart to you. Though GOD delights in blessing HIS children, GOD is deeply grieved when HIS blessings become idols in their hearts. Anything can be an idol if it distracts you from The LORD as your First Love. When GOD is the ultimate Desire of your heart, you are safe from the danger of idolatry. As you wait in GOD’S Presence, enjoy the greatest gift of all: Christ in you, the hope of Glory!”

Scripture

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12 : 2

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: God I know that nothing is as important as spending time with you. Help me to push back the clamor and to do lists of the day and sit in your presence, resting with you and in you. What a precious gift. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 John 2 : 16 – 17

For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. 1 John 2 : 16 – 17 NLT

What are your priorities? What makes you happy? In today’s society you are measured by what you have, where you live, and what you drive, as Christians we should not measure ourselves by material things but be thankful for our salvation…..God wants to bless us with nice things but he doesn’t ever want us to put them in front of him…….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

WAITING ON GOD means directing your attention to GOD in hopeful anticipation of what HE will do. – LAMENTATIONS 3 : 24 – 26, ISAIAH 40 : 31, PSALM 16 : 11

https://youtu.be/wGtWWJ7zvcw

“WAITING ON GOD means directing your attention to GOD in hopeful anticipation of what HE will do. It entails trusting The LORD with every fiber of your being, instead of trying to figure things out yourself. Waiting on GOD is the way HE designed you to live: all day, every day. GOD created you to stay conscious of HIM as you go about your daily duties. The LORD has promised many blessings to those who wait on HIM: renewed strength, living above one’s circumstances, resurgence of hope, awareness of The LORD’S continual Presence. Waiting on GOD enables you to glorify HIM by living in deep dependence on The LORD, ready to do HIS will. It also helps you to enjoy GOD; in GOD’S Presence is fullness of Joy.”

Scripture

I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. LAMENTATIONS 3 : 24 – 26

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40 : 31

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you with every fiber of my being and wait in hopeful anticipation for you to move. I’m ready to do your will, I surrender my will to yours. Show me any area of my life I’m still controlling. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LET THANKFULNESS TEMPER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. – 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10, HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29

https://youtu.be/o2Y4nRe6iZ8

“LET THANKFULNESS TEMPER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. A thankful mind-set keeps you in touch with GOD. The LORD hates it when HIS children grumble, casually despising GOD’S sovereignty. Thankfulness is a safeguard against this deadly sin. Furthermore, a grateful attitude becomes a grid through which you perceive life. Gratitude enables you to see the Light of GOD’S Presence shining on all your circumstances. Cultivate a thankful heart, for this glorifies The LORD and fills you with Joy.”

Scripture

And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to let thankfulness temper all my thoughts and let thankfulness be the grid through which I perceive life. Thank you for my breath in my lungs, a warm bed to sleep in, and a Heavenly Father who thought I was worth dying for. Thank you Jesus. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭121 : 2 – 3‬

“My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121 : 2-3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Where are you searching for help? Are you looking to friends, family, TV show talk hosts, self help books for help? This Psalm reminds us that our help comes from the Lord! God is there 24/7/365 days a year and he is always the same, never leaving. Today’s prayer is that in our time of need that we would trust in the Lord not in the things of this world……Be Blessed

“‘May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace.’” ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭6:24-26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This promise is even stronger today. God blessed the Israelites even when they didn’t see it or deserve it, that’s the God we serve. Today’s prayer is that we would always depend on God, he will give us all we need in times of need……..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

Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭28‬

Don’t be intimidated in any way by your enemies. This will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be saved, even by God himself. Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭28‬ NLT

I saw a video the other day of a woman that owned a jewelry store,she and a client were talking when a man came in to rob them. The woman instead of screaming, running, panicking, commanded him to leave in the name of Jesus!!!! And yes he turned and left now that’s BOLD!!!! When we truly embrace that we have the spirit of God in us all things are possible. Today I pray that we would all be bold for Christ stand strong on the living word of God at all times……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

REJOICE AND BE THANKFUL! – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 4, PSALM 95 : 1 – 2, PSALM 9 : 10

https://youtu.be/XsgQM7591g8

“REJOICE AND BE THANKFUL! As you walk with GOD through this day, practice trusting and thanking GOD all along the way. Trust is the channel through which The LORD’S Peace flows into you. Thankfulness lifts you up above your circumstances. The LORD does HIS greatest works through people with grateful, trusting hearts. Rather than planning and evaluating, practice trusting and thanking GOD continually. This is a paradigm shift that will revolutionize your life.”

Scripture

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! PHILIPPIANS 4 : 4

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 1 – 2

Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. PSALM 9 : 10

Prayer

Prayer: Lord teach me to trust and thank you throughout the day. Every good thing comes from you and there is much to be grateful for. Gently remind me when I start to plan and evaluate without including you to talk with you, and surrender my plan for yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭4

Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval. ‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭4‬ NLT

The world is full of people trying to play God!!! There will be a day that we all will answer to Almighty, Today I pray that we would never judge nor condemn anyone, but show the love of Jesus and let the creator do his work…….Be Blessed
