“WHEN YOU SEEK GOD’S FACE, put aside thoughts of everything else. GOD is above all, as well as in all; your communion with GOD transcends both time and circumstances. Be prepared to be blessed bountifully by The LORD’S Presence, for The LORD is a God of unlimited abundance. Open wide your heart and mind to receive more and more of GOD. When your Joy in GOD meets HIS Joy in you, there are fireworks of heavenly ecstasy. This is eternal life here and now: a tiny foretaste of what awaits you in the life to come. Now you see only a poor reflection as in a mirror, but then you will see face to Face.”
“I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” JOHN 15 : 11
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12
Prayer: God when I spend time with you, help me to put aside thoughts of everything else and allow your presence to bless me. May my joy in you meet your joy in me and ignite fireworks in my heart. Thank you for this tiny foretaste of eternal life with you in Heaven. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“TRUST GOD IN ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. The LORD knows that some thoughts are unconscious or semiconscious, and HE does not hold you responsible for those. But you can direct conscious thoughts much more than you may realize. Practice thinking in certain ways—trusting GOD, thanking GOD—and those thoughts become more natural. Reject negative or sinful thoughts as soon as you become aware of them. Don’t try to hide them from The LORD; confess them and leave them with GOD. Go on your way lightheartedly. This method of controlling your thoughts will keep your mind in GOD’S Presence and your feet on the path of Peace.”
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. PSALM 20 : 7
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 JOHN 1 : 9
“ . . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79
Prayer: God help me to trust you with all my thoughts and to practice trusting and thanking you. Teach me to test my thoughts and any that aren’t from you, help me to replace those thoughts with truth – your word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 NIV

Today’s prayer is that we would stay focused on Encouraging promise that Jesus gave us, don’t look to the world for hope, look to the Lord for eternal hope……..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 YOUR FATHER. Listen to HIM! Learn what it means to be a child of the everlasting King. Your richest duty is devotion to GOD. This duty is such a joyous privilege that it feels like a luxury. You tend to feel guilty about pushing back the boundaries of your life to make space for time alone with GOD. The world is waiting to squeeze you into its mold and to crowd out time devoted to GOD. The ways of the world have also warped your conscience, which punishes you for doing the very thing that pleases GOD most: seeking HIS Face. Listen to GOD above the clamor of voices trying to distract you. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to control your mind, for He and GOD work in perfect harmony. Be still and attentive in GOD’S Presence. You are on holy ground.”
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
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.” ZECHARIAH 9 : 9 (NKJV)
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. ROMANS 8 : 15 – 16
“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” EXODUS 3 : 5

“DRAW NEAR TO GOD with a thankful heart, aware that your cup is overflowing with blessings. Gratitude enables you to perceive GOD more clearly and to rejoice in your Love-relationship. Nothing can separate you from GOD’S loving Presence! That is the basis of your security. Whenever you start to feel anxious, remind yourself that your security rests in GOD alone, and GOD is totally trustworthy. You will never be in control of your life circumstances, but you can relax and trust in GOD’S control. Instead of striving for a predictable, safe lifestyle, seek to know GOD in greater depth and breadth. The LORD longs to make your life a glorious adventure, but you must stop clinging to old ways. GOD is always doing something new within HIS beloved ones. Be on the lookout for all that GOD has prepared for you.”
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39
When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? PSALM 56 : 3 – 4

So don’t fret about what we may not have in this life but trust in our promised eternal life …….. Be Blessed
