TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. – PSALM 34 : 8, GENESIS 16 : 13 – 14, JOHN 20 : 19, COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

https://youtu.be/4dsVkcf9SYw

“TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. The more intimately you experience GOD, the more convinced you become of HIS goodness. GOD is the Living One who sees you and longs to participate in your life. The LORD is training you to find HIM in each moment and to be a channel of HIS loving Presence. Sometimes GOD’S blessings come to you in mysterious ways: through pain and trouble. At such times you can know The LORD’s goodness only through your trust in GOD. Understanding will fail you, but trust will keep you close to GOD. Thank The LORD for the gift of HIS Peace, a gift of such immense proportions that you cannot fathom its depth or breadth. When CHRIST, The LORD appeared to HIS disciples after the resurrection, it was Peace that JESUS CHRIST communicated first of all. JESUS, The LORD knew this was their deepest need: to calm their fears and clear their minds. GOD also speaks Peace to you, for The LORD knows your anxious thoughts. Listen to GOD! Tune out other voices, so that you can hear GOD more clearly. GOD designed you to dwell in Peace all day, every day. Draw near to The LORD; receive GOD’S Peace.”

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. PSALM 34 : 8

So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,” for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.” Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered. GENESIS 16 : 13 – 14

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” JOHN 20 : 19

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

Prayer: Lord thank you for designing me to dwell in peace, all day everyday. Help me to tune out other voices, so I can hear you more clearly. To slow down, to sit in your presence, and to appreciate your blessings all around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:1-3

“I will love You, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

David was known to be a man after God’s heart. Are you? This Psalm is beautiful in so many ways and covers a multitude of areas. Today’s prayer is that we would pray this daily for God is our hope in darkness, our strength in weakness, our “be there in everything”…… 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 IS TAKING CARE OF YOU. – PROVERBS 3 : 5, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27, JEREMIAH 29 : 13 – 14

https://youtu.be/lIxAAijERmc

“GOD IS TAKING CARE OF YOU. Trust GOD at all times. Trust GOD in all circumstances. Trust GOD with all your heart. When you are weary and everything seems to be going wrong, you can still utter these four words: “I trust You, Jesus.” By doing so, you release matters into The LORD’S control, and you fall back into the security of CHRIST, The LORD’s everlasting arms. Before you arise from your bed in the morning, GOD has already arranged the events of your day. Every day provides many opportunities for you to learn GOD’S ways and grow closer to HIM. Signs of GOD’S Presence brighten even the dullest day when you have eyes that really see. Search for The LORD as for hidden treasure. GOD will be found by you.”

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. PROVERBS 3 : 5

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13 – 14

Prayer: God thank you for taking care of me and arranging every detail of my day before I even rise. Open my eyes to see the opportunities to love and blessings all around me. I trust you Jesus. Lead the way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭3:17-18

“Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.”
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭3:17-18‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Are you praising God in troublesome times? Or are you only praising him in the good times? God is always there and he is always faithful!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would praise God in everything we do at all times…….Be Blessed

STOP TRYING TO WORK THINGS OUT before their times have come. – ECCLESIASTES 3 : 1, JOHN 16 : 33

https://youtu.be/OUdikWOXMk4

“STOP TRYING TO WORK THINGS OUT before their times have come. Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask GOD whether or not it is part of today’s agenda. If it isn’t, release it into The LORD’S care and go on about today’s duties. When you follow this practice, there will be a beautiful simplicity about your life: a time for everything, and everything in its time. A life lived close to GOD is not complicated or cluttered. When your focus is on GOD’S Presence, many things that once troubled you lose their power over you. Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that CHRIST, The LORD has overcome the world. The LORD has told you these things, so that in HIM you may have Peace.”

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. ECCLESIASTES 3 : 1

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

Prayer: God help me to ask you when something on my mind is for today’s agenda. And if not, help me release it to you and let it go. A life lived close to you is not complicated or cluttered. Though the world is messy and confusing, I tuck myself in your sweet presence where life is simple and all is well with my soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1-2

As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it. For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1-2‬ NLT

Is today that day? Do you have a friend or loved one that doesn’t know The Lord ? We’ll today is that day. We as Christians can not save people, but be used as a conduit for God to reach the unsaved. Our job is to witness by our actions, the love we show, and not only what we do when others are watching, but when they’re not. God has a use for each and everyone of us!!!! Ask him to show you. Today I pray that we would boldly witness to all that are unsaved and on a road to destruction and make today that day for someone……In Jesus name…….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

CHRIST, THE LORD IS A GOD WHO GIVES and gives and gives. – PHILIPPIANS 2 : 17, MARK 10 : 15, ISAIAH 26 : 3

https://youtu.be/NyW2CvU68-w

“CHRIST, THE LORD IS A GOD WHO GIVES and gives and gives. When JESUS CHRIST, The LORD died for you on the cross, HE held back nothing; JESUS CHRIST poured out HIS Life like a drink offering. Because giving is inherent in The LORD’s nature, GOD searches for people who are able to receive in full measure. To increase your intimacy with GOD, the two traits you need the most are receptivity and attentiveness. Receptivity is opening up your innermost being to be filled with The LORD’S abundant riches. Attentiveness is directing your gaze to GOD: searching for GOD in all your moments. It is possible to stay your mind on The LORD, as the prophet Isaiah wrote. Through such attentiveness you receive a glorious gift: GOD’S perfect Peace.”

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 17

“I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” MARK 10 : 15

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. ISAIAH 26 : 3 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord ,thank you for your extravagant generosity. Help me to be more like Jesus this week, to be open to whatever and wherever you lead, and attentive to your voice and leading. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬ NLT

Are you struggling with your daily walk with Jesus ? You know what type of life you are called to live but it seems that you can’t do it? Check your surroundings and the company you keep. Paul says we died with Christ and were raised with him in a new life, that means NEW not the same as it was. The devil wants to continue to remind you of your past, but Jesus only wants you to think of the now and future. Today I pray that we all would give our surroundings a self check and let the spirit of The Lord guide 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

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/ZbKtQyJMVAo

“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 GOD has planned for you. Do not seek GOD primarily for what HE can give you. Remember that GOD, the Giver, is infinitely greater than any gift HE might impart to you. Though The LORD 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 GOD 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 The LORD’S Presence, enjoy the greatest gift of all: Christ in you, the hope of Glory!”

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

Personal note: I do my very best to make time to not only make and share these posts but study and “internalize” the content myself before doing so. At times that is hard to do either making time during workday or even taking time away from family pursuits on the weekend – this past Saturday I missed making the normal post as we were busy moving into a new home. I understand the struggle it is sometimes to set aside time with GOD and HIS WORD when the world places demands on your time but it is ALWAYS worth it and the right choice.

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.

Proverbs 23:12

Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge. Proverbs 23:12 NKJV

Have you ever heard that small voice tell you ” don’t do that” that’s the spirit trying to guide you. Have you heard something that you know is right but you do the complete opposite? This scripture is telling us to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, he was given to us as a guide and protector. Today I pray we all would listen to that small voice, even if we don’t understand it…..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
