Daily Devotional Video 3/27/2020 – ROMANS 12 : 2, REVELATION 2 : 4, COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

https://youtu.be/0_QE-Siz-6g

“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 GOD’S Presence, The LORD do 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, The LORD 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!” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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: God I know that nothing is as important than spending time with you. Help me to push back the clamor and to do lists of the day and sit in your presence, allowing you to renew my mind and see things more from your perspective. What a precious gift. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 3/26/2020 – LAMENTATIONS 3 : 24 – 26, ISAIAH 40 : 31, PSALM 16 : 11

https://youtu.be/sVHPNM9dysQ

“WAITING ON GOD means directing your attention to GOD in hopeful anticipation of what The LORD will do. It entails trusting GOD 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. GOD has promised many blessings to those who wait on HIM: renewed strength, living above one’s circumstances, resurgence of hope, awareness of GOD’S continual Presence. Waiting on GOD enables you to glorify GOD by living in deep dependence on HIM, ready to do HIS will. It also helps you to enjoy GOD; in GOD’S Presence is fullness of Joy.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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: Lord help me to stay more conscious of you throughout the day today. And put my hope in you alone, waiting in anticipation of what you will do next. Renew my strength Lord, help me to live above my circumstances and may everything I say and do glorify you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 3/25/2020 – 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10, HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29

https://youtu.be/5Bb_d3KfE4Y

“LET THANKFULNESS TEMPER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. A thankful mind-set keeps you in touch with GOD. GOD hates it when HIS children grumble, casually despising HIS 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 GOD and fills you with Joy.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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: Lord help me to cultivate a thankful heart, allowing me to see the light of your presence shining on all my circumstances. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 3/24/2020 – PSALM 89 : 15, HEBREWS 13 : 8, ISAIAH 41 : 13

https://youtu.be/90Ox1GTuZ4E

“THIS IS A TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU MUST LEARN TO LET GO: of loved ones, of possessions, of control. In order to let go of something that is precious to you, you need to rest in The LORD’S Presence, where you are complete. Take time to bask in the Light of GOD’S Love. As you relax more and more, your grasping hand gradually opens up, releasing your prized possession into The LORD’S care. You can feel secure, even in the midst of cataclysmic changes, through awareness of GOD’S continual Presence. The One who never leaves you is the same One who never changes: GOD is the same yesterday, today, and forever. As you release more and more things into The LORD’S care, remember that GOD never lets go of your hand. Herein lies your security, which no one and no circumstance can take from you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13 : 8

“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” ISAIAH 41 : 13

Prayer: God help me to not hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. Help me to rest in your presence, the only place where I am complete – and let go. Let me get out of the cockpit and allow you to have control. Remind me again and again when I forget. Thank you for your grace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 3/23/2020 – PSALM 36 : 7 – 9, PSALM 132 : 15, JOHN 6 : 12 – 13

https://youtu.be/DUznaD3Qi1c

“THE LORD IS A GOD of both intricate detail and overflowing abundance. When you entrust the details of your life to The LORD, you are surprised by how thoroughly HE answers your petitions. GOD takes pleasure in hearing your prayers, so feel free to bring The LORD all your requests. The more you pray, the more answers you can receive. Best of all, your faith is strengthened as you see how precisely GOD responds to your specific prayers. Because GOD is infinite in all HIS ways, you need not fear that The LORD will run out of resources. Abundance is at the very heart of who GOD is. Come to GOD in joyful expectation of receiving all you need—and sometimes much more! The LORD delights in showering blessings on HIS beloved children. Come to GOD with open hands and heart, ready to receive all The LORD has for you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. PSALM 36 : 7 – 9

I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food. PSALM 132 : 15

When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. JOHN 6 : 12 – 13

Prayer: Lord I trust you and I’m amazed that you care about every detail of my life. I tell you what is on my heart and I wait in joyful expectation, excited to see what you are going to do next; To see how you are going to use everything for my good. Thank you Lord. You are so good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 3/20/2020 – 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 5, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17, PSALM 50 : 14

https://youtu.be/GURFhJEew0U

“THANK THE LORD FOR THE GLORIOUS GIFT OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT. This is like priming the pump of a well. As you bring The LORD the sacrifice of thanksgiving, regardless of your feelings, GOD’S Holy Spirit is able to work more freely within you. This produces more thankfulness and more freedom, until you are overflowing with gratitude. GOD showers blessings on you daily, but sometimes you don’t perceive them. When your mind is stuck on a negative focus, you see neither The LORD nor HIS gifts. In faith, thank GOD for whatever is preoccupying your mind. This will clear the blockage so that you can find The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 5

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17

Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High. PSALM 50 : 14

Prayer: Lord thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit with me and in me at all times. Help me to spend time each day thanking you for all you have done and are doing in my life. This frees me from the bondage of worry and negative thoughts. Each time my mind wanders back, remind me to thank you instead. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
