YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. – MATTHEW 6 : 24, REVELATION 2 : 4, EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 17, PSALM 16 : 11

YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. (https://youtu.be/zpgwjnWOMkg)

“YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. If GOD is truly your Master, you will desire to please GOD above all others. If pleasing people is your goal, you will be enslaved to them. People can be harsh taskmasters when you give them this power over you. If GOD is the Master of your life, HE will also be your First Love. Your serving GOD is rooted and grounded in HIS vast, unconditional Love for you. The lower you bow down before GOD, the higher The LORD will lift you up into intimate relationship with HIM. The Joy of living in GOD’S Presence outshines all other pleasures. GOD wants you to reflect HIS joyous Light by living in increasing intimacy with HIM.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” MATTHEW 6 : 24

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 17

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: God help me to desire pleasing you above all others. May the joy of living in your presence outshine all other pleasures. Help me to reflect your light by living in increasing intimacy with you each day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 John‬ ‭4:4‬

“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.” 1 John‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The world can just straight out kick your butt!!! But will you let it? This scripture tells us that greater is he (Jesus) that is in us than he (Satan) who is in the world. Day by day can be rough but we have to confess this scripture when the trials arise. Today’s prayer is that we would not become prisoners to the evil ways of the world and fully understand our eternal future……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

John‬ ‭3:30‬

“He must become greater; I must become less.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3:30‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I have seen this scripture all over lately, it’s very simple ” put God first in everything” in the world today we live in a “Me” mentality and I believe that is the cause of the epic failure we see in society. Today’s prayer is simple put God first in everything you do and he will always be Greater……..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

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:16‬ ‭

“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you view yourself as a giver? To you put the needs of others before yourself? Can you imagine if Jesus would have said “you know what I’ve changed my mind I have never sinned so why should I die for everyone else’s sins”. This scripture should remind us that we are in so many ways blessed beyond words! We have air in our lungs and that is more than we deserve. Today’s prayer is that we would always help others in there time of need and realize that God sees our sacrifice and continues to bless us abundantly…….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/dspm9u4tHm0

WHEN SOME BASIC NEED IS LACKING—time, energy, money—consider yourself blessed. (https://youtu.be/dspm9u4tHm0)

“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 GOD. 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.” – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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: 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.

1 Samuel‬ ‭16:7‬

“But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭16:7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Oh so true!!!! So many people judge by the way someone looks, they stereotype someone because of there appearance. God sees our hearts why should we not? Today’s prayer is we would all look at people the way God almighty does!!!! This has happened so many times with me I just laugh now………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/uXr5wxXZOy8

LET GOD TEACH YOU THANKFULNESS. (https://youtu.be/uXr5wxXZOy8)

“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 The LORD anywhere. Some of GOD’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. The LORD’S Word is a lamp to your feet and a light for your path.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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

1 Peter‬ ‭1:6-7‬

“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:6-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

How do you deal with the trials of life? Do you stress,worry,curse,cry or pray?. Prayer and communication with our Lord during trials are critical!!! Not communicating with God show you dependence on your self effort. Today’s prayer is that you exercise your faith in God not yourself! When trial rear there ugly head seek God for council…….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

AS YOU LOOK into the day that stretches out before you, you see many choice-points along the way. – LAMENTATIONS 3 : 22 – 26, PSALM 34 : 8

https://youtu.be/ZWAaJ5JFgPk

AS YOU LOOK into the day that stretches out before you, you see many choice-points along the way. (https://youtu.be/ZWAaJ5JFgPk)

“AS YOU LOOK into the day that stretches out before you, you see many choice-points along the way. The myriad possibilities these choices present can confuse you. Draw your mind back to the threshold of this day, where GOD stands beside you, lovingly preparing you for what is ahead. You must make your choices one at a time, since each is contingent upon the decision that precedes it. Instead of trying to create a mental map of your path through this day, focus on GOD’S loving Presence with you. The LORD will equip you as you go, so that you can handle whatever comes your way. Trust GOD to supply what you need when you need it.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! PSALM 34 : 8 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you more to supply what I need when I need it. Thank you for equipping me as I go so with you, I can handle whatever comes my way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James‬ ‭1‬:‭12

God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬ NLT

How are you responding to the trials that come your way? Are you trusting in God or yourself? This scripture talks about trusting God through the trials and he will bless those. Today I pray that we all would respond to our trials with a thank you and a Amen!!!! Let God handle it and stand on his promise….Be Blessed
