Micah‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬ MSG

But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what GOD is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously— take God seriously. ‭Micah‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬ MSG

I love the way this translation explains it, basically be nice to all and put God first in everything!!!!! The Bible has laid out instructions for our lives, it is so easy to get tangled up in the things of the world, but when God is first it becomes clear on how to handle circumstances. Today I pray that it would be this simple to translate for us, treat all equally, love with all you have, don’t be so hard on yourself, and most important PUT GOD FIRST…….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 HE has prepared for you. – DEUTERONOMY 6 : 5 , COLOSSIANS 3 : 23, PSALM 16 : 11

“STAY EVER SO CLOSE TO GOD, and you will not deviate from the path HE 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 The LORD 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 GOD’S Presence! GOD created mankind to glorify HIM and enjoy HIM forever. GOD provides the Joy; your part is to glorify The LORD by living close to HIM.”

Scripture

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

Prayer: Lord help me to have an awakened soul that gets thrilled about being in your presence. And this advent season help me to cultivate a hope as I anticipate Christ’s coming – both in celebration of his birth and in the promise of his return. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭3:14‬

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭

Do you find yourself striving for greatness? And to what measure are you striving for? God has called us to live a life that is pleasing to him, pressing forward to the goal of bringing heaven to earth. Today’s prayer is that we would strive for greatness in God’s eyes not the world’s, that we would be seeking approval from God not man In Jesus name 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. – PSALM 31 : 20, GENESIS 28 : 11 – 16

“LET GOD’S PRESENCE override everything you experience. Like a luminous veil of Light, GOD hovers over you and everything around you. The LORD 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 The LORD. 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.”

Scripture

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

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. “Surely the Lord is in this place!” In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭James‬ ‭4:8

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

To draw near to God is to seek him in all you do. God draws near to those who seek to be more like his son in all they do. Being a double minded person is to say one thing and do another, who are you? Today’s prayer is that we would seek Gods ways in all we do,say, and are……..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’S THOUGHTS are not your thoughts; neither are your ways HIS ways. – ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9, COLOSSIANS 4 : 2, PSALM 116 : 17

“GOD’S THOUGHTS are not your thoughts; neither are your ways HIS ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are GOD’S ways and thoughts higher than yours. Remember who GOD is when you spend time with HIM. Marvel at the wonder of being able to commune with the King of the universe—any time, any place. Never take this amazing privilege for granted! Though GOD is vastly higher and greater than you, The LORD is training you to think HIS thoughts. As you spend time in The LORD’S Presence, HIS thoughts gradually form in your mind. GOD’S Holy Spirit is the Director of this process. Sometimes The Holy Spirit brings Bible verses to mind. Sometimes He enables you to hear GOD “speak” directly to you. These communications strengthen you and prepare you for whatever is before you on your life-path. Take time to listen to GOD’S voice. Through your sacrifice of precious time, The LORD blesses you far more than you dare to ask.”

Scripture

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2

I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD. PSALM 116 : 17

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to spend time sitting in your presence each day. Allowing your thoughts to gradually form in my mind. Help me to prepare my heart to celebrate the birth of Jesus and anticipate the glorious day Jesus comes back again to take us home. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭1‬

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭1‬ NLT

When the going gets tough, God gets going. Trials come and go, some days seem to be filled with them and others do not. God is faithful through every situation are you? Today I pray that we would trust in the Lord in good times and bad, when things are great praise the Lord, when trials are at the worst, praise the Lord for the help that’s coming…….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

Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31-32

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31-32‬ NLT

Are you waiting on some type of favor? Advancement? But it seems like it just won’t happen? This scripture tells us that God is always for us, that special something you are wanting may not be what God wants for you! Maybe he has something bigger and better. Today I pray that we would all wait patiently on God’s will for our lives no matter how much we want something…..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

Luke‬ ‭23:34‬

“Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.” Luke‬ ‭23:34‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To his last breath Jesus was pleading the case for the sinner, hanging on the cross beaten and torn; he was asking the Father to forgive them for what they had done and were doing. Is there someone that you are holding unforgiveness against? If so, think of the words of Jesus from the cross. Today’s prayer is that we would forgive as Jesus did and not condemn those who persecute us but pray to the Father to forgive them…..There is power and freedom in forgiveness……..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 LOVED YOU with an everlasting Love, which flows out from the depths of eternity. – JEREMIAH 31 : 3, LAMENTATIONS 3 : 22 – 26

“GOD LOVED 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.”

Scripture

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

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 Jesus. Amen.
