​REST IN GOD’S PRESENCE WHEN you need refreshment. – PROVERBS 3 : 5, ISAIAH 30 : 15

https://youtu.be/SXKrCgq9c0I

REST IN GOD’S PRESENCE WHEN you need refreshment. Resting is not necessarily idleness, as people often perceive it. When you relax in GOD’S company, you are demonstrating trust in GOD. Trust is a rich word, laden with meaning and direction for your life. The LORD wants you to lean on, trust, and be confident in HIM. When you lean on GOD for support, The LORD delights in your trusting confidence. Many people turn away from The LORD when they are exhausted. They associate GOD with duty and diligence, so they try to hide from HIS Presence when they need a break from work. How this saddens GOD! As GOD spoke through HIS prophet Isaiah: In returning to GOD and resting in GOD you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.

Scripture

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

For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength. But you were unwilling, ISAIAH 30 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God, teach me to rest in You — not as a last resort, but as my first response. Help me see rest not as weakness, but as a way to trust You more deeply. In quietness and stillness with You, strengthen my heart and renew my spirit. Amen.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭10 : 2‬

“He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10 : 2‬ ‭NIV‬

This parable has always ministered to me, there are so many lost souls in this world and so few telling them about Jesus Christ. Today’s prayer is that we would take the opportunity to witness to everyone we can and tell them just how real Jesus Christ is …… 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 NEARER than you think, richly present in all your moments. – ACTS 17 : 27 – 28, HEBREWS 11 : 1

https://youtu.be/FggypNdqkbg

“GOD IS NEARER than you think, richly present in all your moments. You are connected to GOD by Love-bonds that nothing can sever. However, you may sometimes feel alone, because your union with GOD is invisible. Ask The LORD to open your eyes, so that you can find HIM everywhere. The more aware you are of GOD’S Presence, the safer you feel. This is not some sort of escape from reality; it is tuning into ultimate reality. GOD is far more Real than the world you can see, hear, and touch. Faith is the confirmation of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.”

Scripture

“God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 27 – 28

​Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. HEBREWS 11 : 1

Prayer

Prayer: Lord open my eyes, my spouse’s eyes, and my children’s eyes, to see You in every moment. Even when I feel alone, remind me that I am forever connected to You by Your unbreakable love. Help me to live by faith, confident in Your nearness, even when I cannot see. Let my heart rest in the truth that You are more real than anything around me. Amen.

‭Psalms‬ ‭31‬ :‭ 14

But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” ‭Psalms‬ ‭31‬ :‭ 14‬ NLT

Trust is a character that is lacking in today’s world, to trust someone is to confide your all to them!!! When you truly understand God’s love for you it’s easy to trust Him. Today I pray that we would all put our 100% trust in The Lord and not in the things of the world ……. 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 ‭4 ‬: ‭11

Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. ‭Philippians‬ ‭4 ‬: ‭11‬ NLT

Like Paul we should always be content in the current situation we are in. Paul lived a life that by today’s standards would be all over the map, he killed Christians, arrested the Christians, but yet God called him in the highest way. Today I pray that we would all be content with where we are, not complacent but content because God has a greater plan 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

Psalm‬ ‭90 : 12

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭90 : 12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We all have a day that we will meet The Lord, are you living life with a “just get by” attitude or are you living life to the fullest for God? Today’s prayer is that we would approach every day with thanks and with a heart to serve The Lord with all our heart …….. 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

COME AWAY WITH GOD for a while. – SONG OF SONGS 2 : 13, LUKE 10 : 42

https://youtu.be/rT5ncwHbr-I

“COME AWAY WITH GOD for a while. The world, with its nonstop demands, can be put on hold. Most people put GOD on hold, rationalizing that someday they will find time to focus on The LORD. But the longer people push GOD into the background of their lives, the harder it is for them to find HIM. You live among people who glorify busyness; they have made time a tyrant that controls their lives. Even those who know GOD as Savior tend to march to the tempo of the world. They have bought into the illusion that more is always better: more meetings, more programs, more activity. The LORD has called you to follow HIM on a solitary path, making time alone with GOD your highest priority and deepest Joy. It is a pathway largely unappreciated and often despised. However, you have chosen the better thing, which will never be taken away from you. Moreover, as you walk close to GOD, The LORD can bless others through you.”

Scripture

“The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” SONG OF SONGS 2 : 13

“But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” LUKE 10 : 42

Prayer

Prayer: God, draw me away from the noise and hurry of the world. Teach me to treasure quiet time with You more than anything else. Help me resist the pull of busyness and remember that You are my deepest joy. As I walk closely with You, use me to bring Your peace and love to others. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭23 : 4‬

“Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23 : 4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Are you tired? Are you tired of trying to obtain something that is material? This Proverb speaks truth! Life is about happiness, life is about more importantly making people happy! Today’s prayer is that we would do all we can to make others happy in these tough times. Care for those who do not have and help those who are in need and you will have more riches than you will ever need ….. Be Blessed and always be a blessing

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

SELF-PITY IS A SLIMY, BOTTOMLESS PIT. – PSALM 40 : 2 – 3 , PSALM 42 : 5, PSALM 147 : 11

https://youtu.be/Kc9u9Y_vS5M

“SELF-PITY IS A SLIMY, BOTTOMLESS PIT. Once you fall in, you tend to go deeper and deeper into the mire. As you slide down those slippery walls, you are well on your way to depression, and the darkness is profound. Your only hope is to look up and see the Light of GOD’S Presence shining down on you. Though the Light looks dim from your perspective, deep in the pit, those rays of hope can reach you at any depth. While you focus on GOD in trust, you rise ever so slowly out of the abyss of despair. Finally, you can reach up and grasp GOD’S hand. The LORD will pull you out into the Light again. The LORD will gently cleanse you, washing off the clinging mire. HE will cover you with HIS righteousness and walk with you down the path of Life.”

Scripture

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD. PSALM 40 : 2 – 3 

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. PSALM 42 : 5 (NKJV) 

The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. PSALM 147 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: God, when I feel stuck in self-pity or despair, help me to look up toward Your Light. Reach into my darkness, lift me with Your mercy, and remind me I’m never too far gone for Your grace. Cover me in Your love, and lead me back into Life with You. Amen.

Psalms 37 : 4 – 5

Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. Psalms 37 : 4 – 5 NKJV

Life gets so busy we make JUST enough time for The Lord. This scripture tells us to delight yourself, the meaning of delight is “something that brings you extreme pleasure, happiness”. We as believers should put JESUS CHRIST before anything else, The LORD is our best friend, The LORD takes pleasure when we consult HIM in everything …… Today I pray we would all get alone with GOD and have a personal conversation with 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
