Daily Devotional Video 6/18/2020 – EPHESIANS 1 : 4, PROVERBS 16 : 9, JEREMIAH 29 : 11, EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14

https://youtu.be/SiZ-48s3Z7o

“YOU ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD. GOD choose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with HIM along paths designed uniquely for you. Concentrate on keeping in step with GOD, instead of trying to anticipate HIS plans for you. If you trust that GOD’S plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment. Your hope and your future are rooted in heaven, where eternal ecstasy awaits you. Nothing can rob you of your inheritance of unimaginable riches and well-being. Sometimes GOD grants you glimpses of your glorious future, to encourage you and spur you on. But your main focus should be staying close to THE LORD. GOD sets the pace in keeping with your needs and HIS purposes.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

. . . just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. EPHESIANS 1 : 4 (NKJV)

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. PROVERBS 16 : 9

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29 : 11

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14

Prayer: Lord thank you that nothing can separate me from your love. I am sealed for eternity, marked as chosen, holy, and dearly loved because of Jesus. Thank you for the Holy Spirit in me, reminding me of your promises and teaching me to be more like Christ everyday. Your grateful child. Amen.

Daniel‬ ‭7:14

“And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.” Daniel‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭ESV‬‬
‭‭
This scripture speaks such volume! In today’s society there are so many different opinions of what a God is. There are religions that worship objects, animals, Suns , moons, etc. The truth is there is only one true living God and every person will at some point have the opportunity to call upon his name. Today’s prayer is that we would be the disciples that Jesus called us to be, witness to all and educate them of the truth……..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

Daily Devotional Video 6/17/2020 – PROVERBS 17 : 22, PROVERBS 31 : 25, MATTHEW 1 : 23, Matthew 11:28-29

https://youtu.be/huRyTe_bGrk

“LEARN TO LAUGH at yourself more freely. Don’t take yourself or your circumstances so seriously. Relax and know that God is with you. When you desire GOD’S will above all else, life becomes much less threatening. Stop trying to monitor GOD’S responsibilities—things that are beyond your control. Find freedom by accepting the boundaries of your domain. Laughter lightens your load and lifts your heart into heavenly places. Your laughter rises to heaven and blends with angelic melodies of praise. Just as parents delight in the laughter of their children, so GOD delights in hearing HIS children laugh. GOD rejoices when you trust HIM enough to enjoy your life light-heartedly. Do not miss the Joy of GOD’S Presence by carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Rather, take The LORD’S yoke upon you and learn from HIM. GOD’S yoke is comfortable and pleasant; HIS burden is light and easily borne.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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

She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. PROVERBS 31 : 25

“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 23

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-29 (ESV2001)

Prayer: Lord help me to laugh at myself more freely. To relax and let you fill me with your peace and joy. To remember you want me to live an abundant life with you both here and now and in Heaven. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daniel 3:25 [KJV]

He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. (Daniel 3:25 [KJV])

Just as Jesus was there with the three in the fire to protect them he is with us during our biggest trials.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had faith and would not renounce God in any situation, do you have that same faith? Today’s prayer is that we all would without a doubt trust and know that Jesus is there all the time and trust he will provide a way for 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

Daily Devotional Video 6/16/2020 – EPHESIANS 2 : 10, MICAH 6 : 8

https://youtu.be/L2f5THwfQ1M

“STAY ON THE HIGH ROAD WITH GOD. Many voices clamor for your attention, trying to divert you to another path. But GOD has called you to walk ever so closely with HIM, soaking in HIS Presence, living in HIS Peace. This is GOD’S unique design for you, planned before the world began. GOD has called each of HIS children to a different path, distinctly designed for that one. Do not let anyone convince you that his path is the only right way. And be careful not to extol your path as superior to another’s way. What GOD requires of you is to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with GOD—wherever GOD leads.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. EPHESIANS 2 : 10

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. MICAH 6 : 8

Prayer: God help me to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with you God. Help me to listen for your voice. You are the Sheppard and I am the sheep. Help me to learn your voice better than any other. And obey when I hear it. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭13

Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out. (‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬ GNT)

Do you ever feel like ” how am I going to make it through this days circumstances?” Paul speaks about Gods faithfulness to never give us more than we can handle, and always giving us a way out. Today I pray that we would trust in God through the tough times and know that he is always faithful to his word……Be Blessed

Daily Devotional Video 6/15/2020 – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18, ISAIAH 6 : 3, PSALM 130 : 5

https://youtu.be/cZ-4tuURLvQ

“WHEN YOU APPROACH GOD in stillness and in trust, you are strengthened. You need a buffer zone of silence around you in order to focus on things that are unseen. Since GOD is invisible, you must not let your senses dominate your thinking. The curse of this age is over-stimulation of the senses, which blocks out awareness of the unseen world. The tangible world still reflects GOD’S Glory, to those who have eyes that see and ears that hear. Spending time alone with GOD is the best way to develop seeing eyes and hearing ears. The goal is to be aware of unseen things even as you live out your life in the visible world.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” ISAIAH 6 : 3

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. PSALM 130 : 5

Prayer: Lord help me to approach you in stillness and trust, allowing you to strengthen me. Open my eyes to see and my ears to hear of your beautiful creation that reflect your glory all around me. Fill me with your peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:8‬

“The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Have you ever noticed how most things finish better than they start if we have patience? Do you ever get the I want it now attitude? Well I know I have fallen into this trap and made a mess of many things. This scripture paints a clear picture that good things come to those who wait. The best we have to look forward too is the Lords return. Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for patience and in the process be humble…….Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new

‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭4-5

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. (‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭4-5‬ )

Reality check! We sometimes think life is unfair, we complain about the most trivial things, we exchange our thankfulness of life in general for what? Today I pray that we would all remember the gift we were given when Jesus so graciously went to the cross in our place, that gift was Love and Life…….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

Romans‬ ‭13:8‬

“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.” Romans‬ ‭13:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are you loving to get something or are you loving because that’s what’s in your heart? To love someone is to give the same sacrifice that Christ gave on the cross! As hard as that maybe it’s truth. True love is forgiveness no matter what the circumstance. Today’s prayer is that Jesus would help us with forgiveness. And place on our hearts true love……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
