WHEN SOME BASIC NEED IS LACKING — time, energy, money — consider yourself blessed. – JAMES 1 : 2, 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

https://youtu.be/I52LOiVTJqg

“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 The LORD 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.”

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: God, thank You for showing up when I feel like I don’t have enough — whether it’s time, energy, or strength. Help me to lean on You instead of trying to do it all on my own. Remind me that Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Amen.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭14 : 12

“How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭14 : 12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The name lucifer means “shinning one” bearer of light” in the traditional translation Hebrew. The name lucifer means ” Morning Star” in the Greek translation. In the modern church the name is known as Satan or the Devil. Before the fall of lucifer it’s said he was the most beautiful angel, so don’t you think he will entice you with things of beauty? Something that may look good and acceptable wrapped up in a devilish package? Today’s prayer is that we would be so led by the spirit of GOD that we would have the discernment to know Good from evil …….. 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 TEACH YOU THANKFULNESS. – HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29, PSALM 119 : 105

https://youtu.be/auC6N79WpnA

“LET GOD TEACH YOU THANKFULNESS. Begin by acknowledging that everything — all your possessions and all that you are — belong 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 GOD’S 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. 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 see things from your perspective and find your beauty and blessings all around me. All good things come from you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms 23 : 1 – 6

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever. Psalms 23 : 1 – 6 NKJV

This scripture is a word to live by. When you feel alone The LORD says HE is with you, when you feel threatened HE is your protection, The LORD says HE will give you all the desires of your heart, in summary The LORD is our Provider in all situations. Today let GOD’S Word sink deep down in your spirit and when a situation arises confess this Word by Faith, remember we walk by Faith and not by sight ….. Be Blessed To Be A Blessing

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/0YAjs6jTQYQ

“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.”

Scripture

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

Prayer: Lord, as I step into this day filled with choices, help me not to be overwhelmed. Keep me close to You, trusting that You will guide me one step at a time and supply exactly what I need. Thank You for walking with me and preparing the way ahead.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3 : 12 – 13

“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3 : 12 – 13‬ ‭

Forgiveness in the world is not very common in this this day and age ! Life is so short and we are not promised tomorrow, so why hold the grudge? Today’s prayer is that we would all live a life full of forgiveness, kindness, humility and love for others just as The LORD has for us …… 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/09kQRFafE_Y

“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 The LORD, 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: Jesus Christ, help me keep my eyes on You today — my steady point in the midst of chaos. When life spins fast and circumstances shift, draw my focus back to Your unchanging presence. Keep me grounded in Your peace and walking steady with You. Amen

Psalms‬ ‭119‬ :‭ 10‬ -‭ 11‬‭

“I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬ :‭ 10‬ -‭ 11‬‭

Seeking God with all your heart is critical! The world is a playground for sin and without his word in your heart it is so easy to be drawn to the playground!!! Today’s prayer is that we would meditate so diligently on God’s word that the sin of the world would have no appeal to us ….. 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

Psalms‬ ‭139 ‬: ‭23 – 24‬

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. ‭Psalms‬ ‭139 ‬: ‭23 – 24‬ NLT

Are you anxious about anything? Are you focusing on the negative surroundings? This psalm is saying put your everything in the hands of God, the impure thoughts, worry, stress, anger, God can handle it. Today I pray that we would have God search our hearts and take any imperfections and make them perfect. God is our strength, He is our fortress ……. Be Blessed

‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬ : ‭14‬

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬ : ‭14‬ ‭

What are you asking for? Healing? Freedom from addiction ? Peace? This scripture tells us that GOD hears us! Patience is a trait that most of us lack, maybe God is waiting for his time and not ours? Today’s prayer is that we would continue to pray and ask GOD to supply our needs and sit back and wait for when HIS will be done …… 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
