“For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.” Psalms 149:4 NKJV
God loves the humble!!! Humility is a trait that pleases God. To be humble is not to be weak, it gives strength!!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would never boast in anything but be humble 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’S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE is unfolding before you. Sometimes the road you are traveling seems blocked, or it opens up so painfully slowly that you must hold yourself back. Then, when time is right, the way before you suddenly clears—through no effort of your own. What you have longed for and worked for GOD presents to you freely, as pure gift. You feel awed by the ease with which GOD operates in the world, and you glimpse GOD’S Power and Glory. Do not fear your weakness, for it is the stage on which GOD’S Power and Glory perform most brilliantly. As you persevere along the path The LORD has prepared for you, depending on HIS strength to sustain you, expect to see miracles — and you will. Miracles are not always visible to the naked eye, but those who live by faith can see them clearly. Living by faith, rather than sight, enables you to see GOD’S Glory.”
I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. PSALM 63 : 2
We live by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” JOHN 11 : 40
Prayer: Just as the Israelites waited 100s of years for You to fulfill your promise to send a Savior, Christmas is a great reminder you keep your promises. Thank you for sending Jesus as the ultimate gift to show the length you would go to be with us for eternity. Thank you sweet Father. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works.” Psalms 145:8-9 NKJV
For some reason this Psalm reminds me of the song “How Great Is Our God”. This psalm speaks of his tenderness, mercy, compassion. Today’s prayer is we would always praise How Great Our God is to all……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
“WHEN THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST JOINED THE RANKS of humanity, born into the humblest conditions, CHRIST, The LORD’s Glory was hidden from all but a few people. Occasionally, streaks of Glory shone out of JESUS CHRIST, especially when The LORD began to do miracles. Toward the end of JESUS CHRIST’S life, HE was taunted and tempted to display more of HIS awesome Power than GOD, The Father’s plan permitted. The LORD could have called down legions of angels to rescue HIM at any point. Imagine the self-control required of a martyr who could free Himself at will! All of this was necessary to provide the relationship with The LORD that you now enjoy. Let your life become a praise song to The LORD by proclaiming HIS glorious Presence in the world.”
This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. JOHN 2 : 11
The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.” The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar. . . . LUKE 23 : 35 – 36
It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands. How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts! PSALM 92 : 1 – 5
Prayer: Father, what an honor it is to have a front row seat to the greatest story in the universe. Don’t let me miss You this Christmas season. Help me to simplify my activities and traditions so I can focus my celebration on your coming Jesus. Amen.
“Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle— My loving kindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.” Psalms 144:1-2 NKJV
We have to prepare for battle everyday!!!! Which God has prepared us for! Daily the devil wants to defeat us through breaking up the family, depression, not getting that promotion, getting looked over for all the good you do at work, etc (fill in the blank) but we are victors not victims !!!!!!!!! Today’s prayer is that we put on the whole armor of God every morning and know that we serve a God whose promise never fails…….. Be Blessed and take heart because there is victory in Jesus Christ….Amen

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
“DO NOT BE WEIGHED DOWN by the clutter in your life: lots of little chores to do sometime, in no particular order. If you focus too much on these petty tasks, trying to get them all out of the way, you will discover that they are endless. They can eat up as much time as you devote to them. Instead of trying to do all your chores at once, choose the ones that need to be done today. Let the rest slip into the background of your mind, so GOD can be in the forefront of your awareness. Remember that your ultimate goal is living close to GOD, being responsive to HIS initiatives. GOD can communicate with you most readily when your mind is uncluttered and turned toward HIM. Seek GOD’S Face continually throughout this day. Let The LORD’S Presence bring order to your thoughts, infusing Peace into your entire being.”
Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. PROVERBS 16 : 3
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” MATTHEW 6 : 33
Prayer: Lord as I spend time with you, order my thoughts and infuse peace into my entire being. Let peace and love and joy overflow in and through me today by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“Let not a slanderer be established in the earth; Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him.”” Psalms 140:11 NKJV
There is so much hate in the world it’s crazy!!!! From brother to brother and Nation to Nation!!!! Today’s prayer is we would not have any hate in our hearts, search us God and take any hate from 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
“In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul.” Psalms 138:3 NKJV

Today’s prayer is that in your time of trouble you would turn to Jesus the author and finisher of your faith!!! Let him turn the trials into joy…..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 SPEAKING in the depths of your being. Be still, so that you can hear HIS voice. GOD speaks in the language of Love; HIS words fill you with Life and Peace, Joy and hope. GOD desires to talk with all of HIS children, but many are too busy to listen. The “work ethic” has them tied up in knots. They submit wholeheartedly to this taskmaster, wondering why they feel so distant from GOD. Living close to GOD requires making HIM your First Love— your highest priority. As you seek The LORD’S Presence above all else, you experience Peace and Joy in full measure. GOD also is blessed when you make HIM first in your life. While you journey through life in GOD’S Presence, HIS Glory brightens the world around you.”
The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. ISAIAH 50 : 4
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4
See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. ISAIAH 60 : 2
Prayer: Lord don’t let anything get in the way of spending time with you. Help me to first spend time with you so you can fill me with love, joy, peace and hope so I can be fully equipped to love and share with others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
