“Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.” Psalms 116:5 NKJV
Grace and Mercy are gifts that are undeniably the greatest gift we will ever receive. The Cross of Calvary brought both by the selfless act of Jesus Christ!!!! Today’s prayer is we would thank God daily for his Grace and Mercy and not abuse it as a license to Sin…….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 GOD 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 GOD 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 HIS Presence! GOD created mankind to glorify HIM and enjoy HIM forever. GOD provides the Joy; your part is to glorify GOD by living close to HIM.”
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: Lord, help me to have an awakened soul that gets excited about being in your presence. This advent season, please help me to think about Christmas being the start of God’s redemptive plan to get his children back by sending Jesus. Thank you Jesus for your willingness to come down from Heaven for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell; They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat.” Psalms 115:3-7 NKJV
What is your favorite thing on earth? What do you cherish the most? Is it God? Or is it something that you have that has material? Today’s prayer is that we will always praise God and not idolize any of our earthly possessions even though they’re nice things and may be blessings of God we should never put them before 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
LET GOD’S PRESENCE override everything you experience. Like a luminous veil of Light, GOD hovers over you and everything around you. GOD is training you to stay conscious of HIM in each situation you encounter. When the patriarch Jacob ran away from his enraged brother, he went to sleep on a stone pillow in a land that seemed desolate. But after dreaming about heaven and angels and promises of GOD’S Presence, he awoke and exclaimed: “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” His discovery was not only for him but for all who seek GOD. Whenever you feel distant from GOD, say: “Surely the Lord is in this place!” Then, ask GOD to give you awareness of HIS Presence. This is a prayer that The LORD delights to answer.”
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues. PSALM 31 : 20
When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the LORD, and he said: “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” GENESIS 28 : 11 – 16
Prayer: God thank you for being in this place, no matter where I am, there you are. Thank you for always being there, always guiding, always watching over me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord’s name is to be praised.” Psalms 113:3 NKJV
Throughout each day, we have a lot of our favorite things that we give 100% of our attention to. Is the Lord one of them? Today’s prayer is that we will always praise God and all things at all times and always have him first and all we do. ……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
“Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His commandments.” Psalms 112:1 NKJV
I believe this scripture is one of the most miss understood! To fear the Lord is to fear to disappoint him, the God we serve is a loving God!!! Could you send your son to the cross for all humanity? Today’s prayer is that we would all fear of disappointing our all loving Lord and do all we can do to make him proud…….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
“JESUS CHRIST IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE. As CHRIST said to HIS disciples, THE LORD says also to you: Peace be with you. Since The LORD is your constant Companion, HIS Peace is steadfastly with you. When you keep your focus on The LORD, you experience both HIS Presence and HIS Peace. Worship GOD as King of kings, Lord of lords, and Prince of Peace. You need The LORD’S Peace each moment to accomplish HIS purposes in your life. Sometimes you are tempted to take shortcuts, in order to reach your goal as quickly as possible. But if the shortcut requires turning your back on GOD’S peaceful Presence, you must choose the longer route. Walk with GOD along paths of Peace; enjoy the journey in GOD’S Presence.”
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ISAIAH 9 : 6
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” JOHN 20 : 19 – 21
Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. PSALM 25 : 4 (NKJV)
Prayer: Jesus thank you for being my constant peace and companion. I need your peace each moment to accomplish what you’ve put me on this earth to do. Above all else, help me to love you and love others well today. To put relationships over my to do list. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever: Holy and awesome is His name.” Psalms 111:9
We are a redeemed people!!!! Our redemption in the Lord is everlasting!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would always realize that the day we were saved we were sealed and redeemed in Christ Jesus……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
“Help me, O Lord my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy, That they may know that this is Your hand— That You, Lord, have done it!” Psalms 109:26-27 NKJV
We tend to take credit as Christians for all we have done should we? If not for the Cross we would not have the opportunity to live a blessed life (spiritually) so shouldn’t we acknowledge God in all we do? Today’s prayer is that whenever we get, do, achieve we thank God for the Cross…….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 LOVES YOU with an everlasting Love, which flows out from the depths of eternity. Before you were born, GOD knew you. Ponder the awesome mystery of a Love that encompasses you from before birth to beyond the grave. Modern man has lost the perspective of eternity. To distract himself from the gaping jaws of death, he engages in ceaseless activity and amusement. The practice of being still in GOD’S Presence is almost a lost art, yet it is this very stillness that enables you to experience The LORD’S eternal Love. You need the certainty of GOD’S loving Presence in order to weather the storms of life. During times of severe testing, even the best theology can fail you if it isn’t accompanied by experiential knowledge of The LORD. The ultimate protection against sinking during life’s storms is devoting time to develop your friendship with GOD.”
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” JEREMIAH 31 : 3
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 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 : 22 – 26
Prayer: Lord, oh how important it is for my soul to be still in your presence. I need to feel you and experience your presence to weather the storms of life. Thank you for your compassion which is new every morning. Everyday you give me a clean slate because of Jesus. Thank you Lord. Amen.
