Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭3‬

He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭3‬ NLT

Everyday we face new circumstances, we are tested with different things, given a choice to do right or wrong. God’s grace brings us through no matter what we feel, and in the end God will get all the glory. Today I pray that whatever you are going through God will bring you out and we will give him all the glory……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 SOME BASIC NEED IS LACKING—time, energy, money—consider yourself blessed. – JAMES 1 : 2, 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

https://youtu.be/-OGihZdX4PI

“WHEN SOME BASIC NEED IS LACKING—time, energy, money—consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto GOD in unashamed dependence. When you begin a day with inadequate resources, you must concentrate your efforts on the present moment. This is where you are meant to live—in the present; it is the place where GOD always awaits you. Awareness of your inadequacy is a rich blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on The LORD. The truth is that self-sufficiency is a myth perpetuated by pride and temporary success. Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself. Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that GOD’S Power is made perfect in weakness.”

Scripture

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord when I am lacking, help me to rely on you and your sufficient grace. Help me to see trials from your perspective and find joy in any situation. With you, I have all I need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7‬:‭5

Better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool. ‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7‬:‭5‬ NLT

Where are you seeking approval from? The world’s measure? God’s measure? Through life we have been taught right from wrong, if you are living a life that you know does not please God then you can be assured you will have tons of approval from the world’s measure. Today I pray that we all would check where our approval is coming from, the world or God’s word……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 TEACH YOU THANKFULNESS. – HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29, PSALM 119 : 105

https://youtu.be/TgYm2p0RRss

“LET GOD TEACH YOU THANKFULNESS. Begin by acknowledging that everything—all your possessions and all that you are—belongs to GOD. The dawning of each new day is a gift from The LORD, not to be taken for granted. The earth is vibrantly alive with GOD’S blessings, giving vivid testimony to HIS Presence. If you slow down your pace of life, you can find GOD anywhere. Some of The LORD’S most precious children have been laid aside in sick beds or shut away in prisons. Others have voluntarily learned the discipline of spending time alone with GOD. The secret of being thankful is learning to see everything from The LORD’S perspective. GOD’S world is your classroom. GOD’S Word is a lamp to your feet and a light for your path.”

Scripture

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. PSALM 119 : 105

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to slow down my pace of life so I can find you everywhere. Help me to draw close to you so I can see things from your perspective and find your beauty and blessings all around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:3‬

“But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.” 2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you ever feel like everything you do becomes a disaster? Do you feel like when you try to do good it seems it turns out bad? Well that is the work of the devil. This scripture reminds us that God always has our back when we are doing things that show his love, and that is when the devil shows up the most. Today’s prayer is that we would always remember who has our back, God Almighty…….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

Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ NLT

Has someone or something taken your joy? Well it’s temporary. Joy in things of the world will at some point leave you wanting something more, something bigger, but joy in the Lord our one true hope will never leave us craving more. Today I pray that whatever brings you joy would be put aside and your true joy would come from the Lord…..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

Isaiah ‭53 : 3‬

“He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.” ‭‭Isaiah ‭53 : 3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you ever feel unappreciated? Do you do good and still get grief from some people? Well Jesus lived this life and are we greater than him? Jesus spent his whole life doing good for others and they still put him on the cross. Today’s prayer is that we would understand that when we do good it’s because of the love of God that is in us and when we get grief it is just part of the deal……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

WELCOME PROBLEMS as perspective-lifters. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 18, PSALM 89 : 15

https://youtu.be/ClCLgdzG24Y

“WELCOME PROBLEMS as perspective-lifters. GOD’S children tend to sleepwalk through their days until they bump into an obstacle that stymies them. If you encounter a problem with no immediate solution, your response to that situation will take you either up or down. You can lash out at the difficulty, resenting it and feeling sorry for yourself. This will take you down into a pit of self-pity. Alternatively, the problem can be a ladder, enabling you to climb up and see your life from GOD’S perspective. Viewed from above, the obstacle that frustrated you is only a light and momentary trouble. Once your perspective has been heightened, you can look away from the problem altogether. Turn toward GOD, and see the Light of GOD’S Presence shining upon you.”

Scripture

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 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 : 16 – 18

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to see problems as opportunities to get close to you so I see things from your perspective. Jesus told us in this life we will have trouble so prepare my heart for future trouble, Lord. I know when I spend time with you, I’m storing up credit to be used when trouble comes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8-9‬

I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8-9‬ NLT

Do you ever feel alone? Are you always the one making difficult decisions ? The psalmist tells us that we are never alone, that God is always beside us. In the world it is beat into our minds that we are weak if we need help, but Jesus said ” I leave you a helper, the great council, THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!! Today I pray that we all would understand that we have the ” The Great I Am” living on the inside and he is there to help us through every situation, if we will listen, will you listen? 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

MAKE GOD YOUR FOCAL POINT as you move through this day. – HEBREWS 12 : 2, PSALM 102 : 27

https://youtu.be/Av6dZ99bzGY

“MAKE GOD YOUR FOCAL POINT as you move through this day. Just as a spinning ballerina must keep returning her eyes to a given point to maintain her balance, so you must keep returning your focus to GOD. Circumstances are in flux, and the world seems to be whirling around you. The only way to keep your balance is to fix your eyes on GOD, the One who never changes. If you gaze too long at your circumstances, you will become dizzy and confused. Look to GOD, refreshing yourself in The LORD’S Presence, and your steps will be steady and sure.”

Scripture

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. HEBREWS 12 : 2

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to spend time in your presence each day to refresh me, to fill me, to renew me, and transform me to look a little more like Jesus. Help me to fix my eyes on you – the one who never changes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
