“rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!” Philippians 2:7-8 NIV
Wow and we have the audacity to complain as Christians? Jesus humbled himself to live on earth as a mere human and died so we could live!! Today I pray we all take a step back and analyze the way we are living and strive to be more like Jesus in 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
“If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.” 1 John 4:15 NIV
Being a Christian is more than a mercy me t-shirt or a “not of this world” sticker on your car window. The true transformation is to embrace the Holy Spirit that lives within you. Jesus told us in the scripture that “He is leaving us the power of the Holy Spirit” – the internal GPS. Today’s prayer is that we would all listen to that internal gps and live our lives to please 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
“WHEN GOD GIVES YOU no special guidance, stay where you are. Concentrate on doing your everyday tasks in awareness of GOD’S Presence with you. The Joy of The LORD’S Presence will shine on you, as you do everything for HIM. Thus you invite GOD into every aspect of your life. Through collaborating with GOD in all things, you allow HIS Life to merge with yours. This is the secret not only of joyful living but also of victorious living. GOD designed you to depend on HIM moment by moment, recognizing that apart from The LORD you can do nothing. Be thankful for quiet days, when nothing special seems to be happening. Instead of being bored by the lack of action, use times of routine to seek GOD’S Face. Although this is an invisible transaction, it speaks volumes in spiritual realms. Moreover, you are richly blessed when you walk trustingly with The LORD through the routines of your day.”
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. COLOSSIANS 3 : 23
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4
Prayer: Lord help me to concentrate on my everyday tasks in awareness of your presence with me. To abide in you while you prune away anything that doesn’t look like Jesus in me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
“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
“TRUSTING GOD is a moment-by-moment choice. GOD’S people have not always understood this truth. After GOD performed miracles in the wilderness, HIS chosen children trusted HIM intensely—but only temporarily. Soon the grumbling began again, testing GOD’S patience to the utmost. Isn’t it often the same way with you? You trust GOD when things go well, when you see HIM working on your behalf. This type of trust flows readily within you, requiring no exertion of your will. When things go wrong, your trust-flow slows down and solidifies. You are forced to choose between trusting The LORD intentionally or rebelling: resenting HIS ways with you. This choice constitutes a fork in the road. Stay on the path of Life with The LORD, enjoying GOD’S Presence. Choose to trust The LORD in all circumstances.”
Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.) So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?” Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them. EXODUS 1 : 22 – 25
But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.” PSALM 31 : 14
Prayer: Lord, I want to trust You in all circumstances. Through the highest mountains and the darkest valleys. You promise to be with me through it all. Help me to stay close to you as my rock, my strength, my everything – all the days of my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy.” “Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” Revelation 22:11-13 NLT
Do you believe God is a God of second chances? A God that forgives once and for all? When the New Covenant came Jesus brought never ending forgiveness to all who call upon his name and make him the Lord of their life. This scripture speaks until the coming of our Lord let the choice of how people live be their choice, Jesus will judge all according. Today I pray that we would spread the gospel to anyone we can, we don’t know when his return will be, but the promise he has given should not be missed……Be Blessed and use your testimony to witness Jesus to the unsaved
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
“THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE. Rejoice and be glad in it. Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that GOD is pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since GOD is the Author of your circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank GOD for them. This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees The LORD to work HIS ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it. To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. GOD knew what HE was doing when HE divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. GOD understands human frailty, and GOD knows that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in GOD’S Presence today.”
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 3 : 13 – 14
Prayer: Lord, this week I reflect on Easter and what you endured for me. Thank you for stepping down from Heaven to save me and providing a way for me to be with you for eternity and to live an abundant life here and now, full of peace and joy despite any circumstance. Help me to accept both this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk 3:17-18 NASB
Are you praising God in troublesome times? Or are you only praising him in the good times? God is always there and he is always faithful!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would praise God in everything we do at all times…….Be Blessed

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV
Are you at a point in life where you think How did I get here, why am I here, am I ever going to get it turned around? My friends, this scripture says there is a time and reason for everything. In life circumstances may look like they’re impossible, but God knows right where you are and why you’re there. Today I pray that whatever circumstance you are in that you trust God will bring you out…. May your tests be your testimony…….Be Blessed

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;” 2 Corinthians 4:7 NASB
Are you giving from a Godly heart or an earthly heart? All Things are from God and we should be treating them as so. We can sometimes put a value on possessions that makes them our god! Agree? Today’s prayer is that we would be a blessing to those in need and always remember it all belongs to God and he supplies all our needs……..Be Blessed
