BRING GOD THE SACRIFICE of thanksgiving. – PSALM 116 : 17, GENESIS 3 : 2 – 6, 1 JOHN 1 : 7

https://youtu.be/C8yo5DOn39o

“BRING GOD THE SACRIFICE of thanksgiving. Take nothing for granted, not even the rising of the sun. Before Satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, thankfulness was as natural as breathing. Satan’s temptation involved pointing Eve to the one thing that was forbidden her. The garden was filled with luscious, desirable fruits, but Eve focused on the one fruit she couldn’t have rather than being thankful for the many good things freely available. This negative focus darkened her mind, and she succumbed to temptation. When you focus on what you don’t have or on situations that displease you, your mind also becomes darkened. You take for granted life, salvation, sunshine, flowers, and countless other gifts from GOD. You look for what is wrong and refuse to enjoy life until that is “fixed.” When you approach GOD with thanksgiving, the Light of The LORD’S Presence pours into you, transforming you through and through. Walk in the Light with GOD by practicing the discipline of thanksgiving.”

I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD. PSALM 116 : 17 (NKJV)

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” “You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. GENESIS 3 : 2 – 6

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 7

Prayer: Lord help me to have a grateful heart. To take nothing for granted, not even the rising of the sun. To trust your timing for unanswered prayers, remaining thankful. Thank you for always being trustworthy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hebrews‬ ‭13:16‬

“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” Hebrews‬ ‭13:16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you view yourself as a giver? Do you put the needs of others before yourself? Can you imagine if Jesus would have said “You know what I’ve changed my mind I have never sinned. So why should I die for everyone else’s sins?”. This scripture should remind us that we are in so many ways blessed beyond words! We have air in our lungs and that is more than we deserve. Today’s prayer is that we would always help others in their time of need and realize that God sees our sacrifice and continues to bless us abundantly…….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

Thirsty.

LET GOD FILL YOU with HIS Love, Joy, and Peace. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 7, ISAIAH 30 : 15

https://youtu.be/lZVqPgJap9c

“LET GOD FILL YOU with HIS Love, Joy, and Peace. These are Glory-gifts, flowing from GOD’S living Presence. Though you are an earthen vessel, GOD designed you to be filled with heavenly contents. Your weakness is not a deterrent to being filled with The LORD’S Holy Spirit; on the contrary, it provides an opportunity for GOD’S Power to shine forth more brightly. As you go through this day, trust GOD to provide the strength that you need moment by moment. Don’t waste energy wondering whether you are adequate for today’s journey. GOD’S Holy Spirit within you is more than sufficient to handle whatever this day may bring. That is the basis for your confidence! In quietness (spending time alone with GOD) and confident trust (relying on GOD’S sufficiency) is your strength.”

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 7 (NKJV)

This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” ISAIAH 30 : 15

Prayer: Lord fill me with your love, joy, and peace as I spend time alone with you. Thank you that your Spirit in me is more than sufficient to handle whatever this day may bring. I walk in confident hope and trust, surrendered to your good and perfect will. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOD MEETS YOU in the stillness of your soul. – ZECHARIAH 2 : 13, 2 CHRONICLES 16 : 9, PSALM 23 : 2 – 3

https://youtu.be/ISuj7llN0XI

“GOD MEETS YOU in the stillness of your soul. It is there that GOD seeks to commune with you. A person who is open to The LORD’S Presence is exceedingly precious to HIM. GOD’S eyes search to and fro throughout the earth, looking for one whose heart is seeking HIM. GOD sees you trying to find HIM; your mutual search results in joyful fulfillment. Stillness of soul is increasingly rare in this world addicted to speed and noise. GOD is pleased with your desire to create a quiet space where you and HE can meet. Don’t be discouraged by the difficulty of achieving this goal. GOD monitors all your efforts and is blessed by each of your attempts to seek HIS Face.”

“Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.” ZECHARIAH 2 : 13

“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.” 2 CHRONICLES 16 : 9 (NKJV)

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. PSALM 23 : 2 – 3 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord help me to create a quiet space where you and I can meet. Where my soul can be still. Where you can refresh me and restore me and fill me with your Spirit. Be still my soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭2

When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is wisdom. ‭Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭2‬ NASB

How are you viewed as a person? Do you humble yourself? Or have to always give the right answer? Do you sometimes agree when you are wrong? Do you walk away from an argument or do you stay and try to prove you are right? Do you brag about all of your accomplishments or do you just say thank you? Today’s prayer is that we would always humble ourselves, for there is a time and reason for everything God blesses the humble ……Be Blessed and always be humble

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 ‭4‬:‭8

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. ‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ NLT

What are you constantly thinking of? Are your thoughts on things of the day, or things of God ? Paul writes about thinking of all the things are that worthy of praise, not the troubles and worries. Today I pray that all would keep the blessings of God in their thoughts and give him thanks for all he has done, all he is doing, and all he will do……..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 GOD YOU HAVE EVERYTHING. – EPHESIANS 3 : 20, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

https://youtu.be/K8BK6fJ_Wpc

“IN GOD YOU HAVE EVERYTHING. In GOD you are complete. Your capacity to experience GOD is increasing, through HIS removal of debris and clutter from your heart. As your yearning for The LORD increases, other desires are gradually lessening. Since GOD is infinite and abundantly accessible to you, desiring HIM above all else is the best way to live. It is impossible for you to have a need that The LORD cannot meet. After all, GOD created you and everything that is. The world is still at GOD’S beck and call, though it often appears otherwise. Do not be fooled by appearances. Things that are visible are brief and fleeting, while things that are invisible are everlasting.”

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…. EPHESIANS 3 : 20

as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

Prayer: Lord continue to remove the debris and clutter from my heart so that my desires melt into yours and eventually your desires become my desires. It amazes me the creator of the stars and everything under the stars is abundantly accessible to me? What an honor and privilege. Help me to take advantage of this precious gift Jesus died for today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:8

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Day to day can sometimes seem impossible, always issues in one way or another. This scripture reminds us that no matter what we cannot be defeated in Christ!!! Today’s prayer is that we would take hold of this scripture and push on through the troubles in front of 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 ‭7‬:‭13-14

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13-14‬ NIV

There are so many that have chosen the broad gate, in their mind it is easier living a life of quote freedom, no rules, being there own person. Jesus speaks of that road leading to destruction. Today’s prayer is that all would understand that the narrow road gives you the true meaning of freedom! The total lack of condemnation. The road to heaven is the easy road, there will be test and trials but we have the ultimate tour guide when we choose this path……..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

Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭4-7

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭4-7‬ NIV

Are you praying for a family member, friend, co-worker ? God hears your prayer and that one person is as important to the Lord as any other soul. The parable of the lost sheep reveals to us just how important every soul on earth is to our Father in Heaven. Today I boldly pray that God would grace us with the strength to overcome the adversity of the things of this world and boldly witness the joy that comes from making Jesus your Lord and Savior……..

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
