1 Thessalonians 4 : 11 , 12

that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing. 1 Thessalonians 4 : 11 , 12 NKJV

The world is trying to suck everyone into the drama, outside situations try to consume your time and joy. This scripture says to mind your own business, and pay attention to your own. Loving one another is the greatest command, but you don’t have to love other’s problems ……. Today I pray peace over all, that we would focus on our situations and not others …… 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

TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD.  – PSALM 34 : 8, ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9

“TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. This command contains an invitation to experience GOD’S living Presence. It also contains a promise. The more you experience GOD, the more convinced you become of HIS goodness. This knowledge is essential to your faith-walk. When adversities strike, the human instinct is to doubt GOD’S goodness. The LORD’s ways are mysterious, even to those who know GOD intimately. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are GOD”S ways and thoughts higher than your ways and thoughts. Do not try to fathom GOD’S ways. Instead, spend time enjoying The LORD and experiencing HIS goodness.”

Scripture

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. PSALM 34 : 8

“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

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, the more I experience you, the more convinced I am of your goodness. Like Job, help me to not hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you and even in adversity may I be able to say, “the Lord gives and takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” 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 you butt!!! But will you let it? This scripture tells us that greater is HE ( Jesus Christ ) 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

GOD IS LIFE AND LIGHT IN ABUNDANCE.  – PSALM 48 : 9, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 12, PSALM 37 : 4

“GOD IS LIFE AND LIGHT IN ABUNDANCE. As you spend time “soaking” in GOD’S Presence, you are energized and lightened. Through communing with The LORD, you transfer your heavy burdens to HIS strong shoulders. By gazing at GOD, you gain HIS perspective on your life. This time alone with GOD is essential for unscrambling your thoughts and smoothing out the day before you. Be willing to fight for this precious time with The LORD. Opposition comes in many forms: your own desire to linger in bed; the evil one’s determination to distract you from GOD; the pressure of family, friends, and your own inner critic to spend your time more productively. As you grow in your desire to please GOD above all else, you gain strength to resist these opponents. Delight yourself in GOD, for HE is the deepest Desire of your heart.” 

Scripture

Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love. PSALM 48 : 9

About Benjamin he said: “Let the beloved of the LORD rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the LORD loves rests between his shoulders.” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 12

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are my Life and my Light, and I need time with You more than anything. Help me fight through every distraction to rest in Your Presence, where burdens lift and perspective clears. Be the deepest desire of my heart today and every day. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭8 : 10 – 12‬

“And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago; but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have. For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭8 : 10 – 12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Where is your life now as compared to where it was a year ago? Are you in the same place? Are you in a better place? Are you in a worse place? Are you still on fire for the gospel the same? Well only you and God know. I believe the world has changed a lot of lives for the worse!!! But if we are grounded in the Gospel we are doing us with God. Today’s prayer is that we would all go back to the basics and make sure God is our foundation, not the world’s issues!!!! 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 THE TRUTH: the One who came to set you free. – JOHN 8 : 32, PHILIPPIANS 2 : 13, JOHN 14 : 6

“GOD IS THE TRUTH: the One who came to set you free. As the Holy Spirit controls your mind and actions more fully, you become free in GOD. You are increasingly released to become the one GOD created you to be. This is a work that The LORD does in you as you yield to HIS Spirit. The LORD can do HIS best handiwork when you sit in the stillness of HIS Presence, focusing your entire being on HIM. Let GOD’S thoughts burst freely upon your consciousness, stimulating abundant Life. GOD is the Way and the Truth and the Life. As you follow GOD, HE leads you along paths of newness: ways you have never imagined. Don’t worry about what is on the road up ahead. The LORD wants you to find your security in knowing HIM, the One who died to set you free.” 

Scripture

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” JOHN 8 : 32

For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 13

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” JOHN 14 : 6

Prayer

Prayer:  Jesus, thank You for being the Truth that sets me free. Help me to sit still in Your Presence and let Your Spirit shape my thoughts and my steps. I trust You to lead me forward—not by knowing every detail ahead, but by knowing You more deeply each day. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭12‬ :‭ 21

Isaiah spoke plain and clear about Jesus Christ in this prophecy. What are you hoping for? Who do you put your hope in?

There are so many people in the world that need JESUS CHRIST, lost and wandering just getting along. The responsibility of us as Christians is to help them to find The Lord.

STAY CALMLY conscious of GOD today, no matter what. – PSALM 23 : 1 – 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 17

“STAY CALMLY conscious of GOD today, no matter what. Remember that GOD goes before you as well as with you into the day. Nothing takes The LORD by surprise. GOD will not allow circumstances to overwhelm you, so long as you look to HIM. The LORD will help you cope with whatever the moment presents. Collaborating with GOD brings blessings that far outweigh all your troubles. Awareness of The LORD’S Presence contains Joy that can endure all eventualities.”

Scripture

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. PSALM 23 : 1 – 4 (NKJV) 

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. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 17

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus Christ, help me stay calmly aware of You today, no matter what comes. Thank you for going before me and walking beside me. Let your presence steady my heart and fill me with a joy that endures. Amen.
