‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:10

“Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭

Spiritual growth is a must as Christians!!! To stay as a babe in the Lord will lead to regression. The Lord has left us not only the Holy Spirit but also an instruction manual. Today’s prayer is we would all grown into the Lord’s way and bring him honor everyday……..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 WORKING ON YOUR BEHALF. – PSALM 36 : 9, GENESIS 21 : 1 – 2, 6 – 7, HEBREWS 11 : 1

“GOD IS WORKING ON YOUR BEHALF. Bring GOD all your concerns, including your dreams. Talk with The LORD about everything, letting the Light of GOD’S Presence shine on your hopes and plans. Spend time allowing The LORD’S Light to infuse your dreams with life, gradually transforming them into reality. This is a very practical way of collaborating with The LORD. GOD, the Creator of the universe, has deigned to co-create with you. Do not try to hurry this process. If you want to work with GOD, you have to accept HIS time frame. Hurry is not in GOD’S nature. Abraham and Sarah had to wait many years for the fulfillment of The LORD’S promise, a son. How their long wait intensified their enjoyment of this child! Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.”

Scripture

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. PSALM 36 : 9

Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.” GENESIS 21 : 1 – 2, 6 – 7

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

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for working on my behalf. As I spend time with you, you slowly shape my desires and dreams to align with your will for my life. And in your perfect timing, with faith and obedience, they will come to fruition. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭1:18-20‬

“But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.” Romans‬ ‭1:18-20‬ ‭

I believe the only thing God hates is Sin!!! God is love but sin is hate and that contradicts love! To live a life that is pleasing to God is to do your best to follow his ways! Love all, treat all with respect, be kind to all rich, poor, those who have different beliefs, etc!!!! God created all and his command is to love not hate! Today’s prayer is we would all try to please God in all our actions! We will fall short and that’s where his love comes in, but that doesn’t mean we can stop trying!!!! Love all, treat all as Jesus did…… 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 ‭62:5-6

“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭62:5-6‬ ‭

Circumstances can consume your day and even your life. The key to peace is where it comes from. The Lord is the only true peace we have, to trust and depend on him is key. Today’s prayer is that our foundation would be the Lord! Don’t look at the problem, look through the problem – the solution is on the other side waiting, Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…..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

2 Samuel‬ ‭22:33‬

“God is my strong fortress, and he makes my way perfect.” 2 Samuel‬ ‭22:33‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Today’s world is based on self, values are whatever your beliefs are. A life with God as your foundation will lead to more peace, better decisions, more compassion for others, and last but not least LOVE. Today’s prayer is less of us and more of God……..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

YOUR NEEDS AND GOD’S RICHES are a perfect fit. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, COLOSSIANS 2 : 2 – 3

“YOUR NEEDS AND GOD’S RICHES are a perfect fit. GOD never meant for you to be self-sufficient. Instead, GOD designed you to need HIM not only for daily bread but also for fulfillment of deep yearnings. GOD carefully crafted your longings and feelings of incompleteness, to point you to HIM. Therefore, do not try to bury or deny these feelings. Beware also of trying to pacify these longings with lesser gods: people, possessions, power. Come to GOD in all your neediness, with defenses down and with desire to be blessed. As you spend time in The LORD’S Presence, your deepest longings are fulfilled. Rejoice in your neediness, which enables you to find intimate completion in GOD.”

Scripture

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. COLOSSIANS 2 : 2 – 3

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I need you for my daily bread and to fulfill my deepest longings. Thank you for my neediness because it points me to you. In you I find completion, peace, and fullness of joy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭12

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. ‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭12‬ ESV

Do you have an identity crisis? Are you searching for who you truly are? Do you see a reflection of the things of Jesus or the world? This scripture explains that we see a dim image, as Christians we are the righteousness of Jesus, we may not appear that way in the natural world but spiritually we are. Today I pray that we would all know our identity, that one day we will stand face to face with our Lord and truly see who we are…..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 WITH YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO, even in the most menial task. – MATTHEW 10 : 29 – 31, HEBREWS 11 : 27, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

“GOD IS WITH YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO, even in the most menial task. GOD is always aware of you, concerned with every detail of your life. Nothing escapes HIS notice-—not even the number of hairs on your head. However, your awareness of The LORD’S Presence falters and flickers; as a result, your life experience feels fragmented. When your focus is broad enough to include GOD in your thoughts, you feel safe and complete. When your perception narrows so that problems or details fill your consciousness, you feel empty and incomplete. Learn to look steadily at The LORD in all your moments and all your circumstances. Though the world is unstable and in flux, you can experience continuity through your uninterrupted awareness of GOD’S Presence. Fix your gaze on what is unseen, even as the visible world parades before your eyes.”

Scripture

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” MATTHEW 10 : 29 – 31

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. HEBREWS 11 : 27

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

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for caring about every detail of my life. What an honor that the one who put the stars in the sky and set the earth perfectly spinning around the sun at just the right speed and angle would care about me. You know the number of hairs on my head and you equip me with everything I need. Thank you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Micah‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬ MSG

But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what GOD is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously— take God seriously. ‭Micah‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬ MSG

I love the way this translation explains it, basically be nice to all and put God first in everything!!!!! The Bible has laid out instructions for our lives, it is so easy to get tangled up in the things of the world, but when God is first it becomes clear on how to handle circumstances. Today I pray that it would be this simple to translate for us, treat all equally, love with all you have, don’t be so hard on yourself, and most important PUT GOD FIRST…….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

STAY EVER SO CLOSE TO GOD, and you will not deviate from the path HE has prepared for you. – DEUTERONOMY 6 : 5 , COLOSSIANS 3 : 23, PSALM 16 : 11

“STAY EVER SO CLOSE TO GOD, and you will not deviate from the path HE has prepared for you. This is the most efficient way to stay on track; it is also the most enjoyable way. Men tend to multiply duties in their observance of religion. This practice enables them to give The LORD money, time, and work without yielding up to GOD what HE desires the most—their hearts. Rules can be observed mechanically. Once they become habitual, they can be followed with minimal effort and almost no thought. These habit-forming rules provide a false sense of security, lulling the soul into a comatose condition. What GOD searches for in HIS children is an awakened soul that thrills to the Joy of GOD’S Presence! GOD created mankind to glorify HIM and enjoy HIM forever. GOD provides the Joy; your part is to glorify The LORD by living close to HIM.”

Scripture

Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. DEUTERONOMY 6 : 5

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. COLOSSIANS 3 : 23

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. PSALM 16 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to have an awakened soul that gets thrilled about being in your presence. And this advent season help me to cultivate a hope as I anticipate Christ’s coming – both in celebration of his birth and in the promise of his return. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
