“while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18
Where do you put your trust and value? Are you worried about the present or your future? This scripture tells us that things not seen are eternal. We all tend to look at the things that are seen! Our financial stature, our status in society, how many things we have that impress people ? Today’s prayer is that we would understand that we have a perfect eternal life waiting for us!!!! So don’t fret about what we may not have in this life but trust in our promised eternal 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
“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 HIS Power and HIS 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 one of the best reminders that you keep your promises, Lord. You sent Jesus as the ultimate gift to show that you want to be with us for eternity. Thank you sweet Father. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Luke 14:34-35 NKJV
It’s a privilege to be a Christian it’s also our obligation to witness the gospel to all we can. To say you’re a Christian is one thing but are you actively pursuing souls for Christ? Thus salt without flavor is useless. Today’s prayer is we would be more than just professing Christians but be active Christians……….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 JESUS CHRIST JOINED THE RANKS of humanity, born into the humblest conditions, CHRIST’S Glory was hidden from all but a few people. Occasionally, streaks of Glory shone out of CHRIST, especially when HE began to do miracles. Toward the end of CHRIST The LORD’S life, HE was taunted and tempted to display more of HIS awesome Power than HIS Father’s plan permitted. JESUS CHRIST 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 CHRIST The LORD by proclaiming The LORD’S 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: Lord thank you for loving us so much you gave us Jesus. Fill me with all joy and peace so my life is a praise song to you, proclaiming your goodness and mercy and nearness that follow us all the days of our lives. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6 NKJV)
Jesus said “I am the way” the way to eternal life is through salvation in Jesus which is a gift!!! Not of man’s effort. Jesus said ” I am the truth” this means that every spoken word from him is absolute!!!! We should strive to be like him. He said ” I am the life”. There is no life worth living aside from Jesus !!!! He is our comfort, counselor, best friend, our everything. Today meditate on the gift of salvation and give thanks for that unconditional love…. Be Blessed

Praise the LORD, everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the LORD.” Psalms 103:22 NLT
Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily lives we stop one day and think, when was the last time I gave thanks to God for all he does? Prayer and communication should be a by the hour thing with our Lord. Today’s prayer is that we all would give thanks and praise in all things to the Lord, good and bad because we know all Good comes from the Lord, and all the bad the Lord will turn to good for his glory………..Be Blessed and Praise
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

Our salvation is our everything and we need to thank the Lord daily. Today’s prayer is when we miss the mark and fall into sin we understand our counselor is right there waiting with arms wide open, repent and ask for guidance…….Be Blessed

And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. 1 John 4:13 NLT
Do you ever get that feeling inside of total peace? Do you ever hear that voice telling you don’t do that or do this? This my friends is the spirit of God that lives inside us. Today I pray that we would all listen to the direction that the Holy Spirit gives us, listen closely and be at peace…….Be Blessed

“COME TO GOD with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in GOD you are complete. As you rest quietly in GOD’S Presence, HIS Light within you grows brighter and brighter. Facing the emptiness inside you is simply the prelude to being filled with The LORD’S fullness. Therefore, rejoice on those days when you drag yourself out of bed, feeling sluggish and inadequate. Tell yourself that this is a perfect day to depend on GOD in childlike trust. If you persevere in this dependence as you go through the day, you will discover at bedtime that Joy and Peace have become your companions. You may not realize at what point they joined you on your journey, but you will feel the beneficial effects of their presence. The perfect end to such a day is a doxology of gratitude. GOD is HIM from whom all blessings flow!”
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” MATTHEW 5 : 3 – 6
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. COLOSSIANS 2 : 9 – 10
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD. PSALM 150 : 6
Prayer: Lord during this busy Christmas season help me to make time to rest quietly in your presence letting you fill me with joy and peace and strength. On days I feel I’m lacking, remind me to tell myself this is a perfect day to depend on you in childlike trust. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
