“The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” Ecclesiastes 7:8 NKJV
Have you ever noticed how most things finish better than they start if we have patience? Do you ever get the I want it now attitude? Well I know I have fallen into this trap and made a mess of many things. This scripture paints a clear picture that good things come to those who wait. The best we have to look forward too is the Lords return. Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for patience and in the process be humble…….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. 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 GOD does in you as you yield to HIS Holy Spirit. GOD can do HIS best handiwork when you sit in the stillness of HIS Presence, focusing your entire being on GOD. Let The LORD’S thoughts burst freely upon your consciousness, stimulating abundant Life. GOD is the Way and the Truth and the Life. As you follow The LORD, HE leads you along paths of newness: ways you have never imagined. Don’t worry about what is on the road up ahead. GOD wants you to find your security in knowing The LORD, the One who died to set you free.”
“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: Holy Spirit, control my mind and my actions today. Make them align to God’s will and be pleasing to Him. Help me to make time to sit in the stillness of your presence, focusing my entire being on You so that your thoughts and your peace and your joy can burst freely in my mind, stimulating abundant life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.” Isaiah 64:4
Patience seems to be a thing of the past! In society today people want it NOW. This scripture says God acts on those who wait for him, are you waiting on God in all the areas of your life? Your decisions for you family, finances, job? Today’s prayer is that in this microwave society that we would wait on God in all the decisions of our life, I believe if we wait on his timing the best will come……..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
“AS YOU GET OUT OF BED in the morning, be aware of GOD’S Presence with you. You may not be thinking clearly yet, but GOD is. Your early morning thoughts tend to be anxious ones until you get connected with GOD. Invite GOD into your thoughts by whispering HIS Name. Suddenly your day brightens and feels more user-friendly. You cannot dread a day that is vibrant with The LORD’S Presence. You gain confidence through knowing that The LORD is with you— that you face nothing alone. Anxiety stems from asking the wrong question: “If such and such happens, can I handle it?” The true question is not whether you can cope with whatever happens, but whether you and GOD together can handle anything that occurs. It is this you-and-GOD-together factor that gives you confidence to face the day cheerfully.”
In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. PSALM 5 : 3
O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. PSALM 63 : 1 (NKJV)
I can do everything through him who gives me strength. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13
Prayer: God thank you that no matter what happens today, you and I will face it together. And you, the King of all Kings, Lord of all Lords, will be holding my hand and leading and guiding me through it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“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 The LORD’S goodness. GOD’S ways are mysterious, even to those who know HIM 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 GOD and experiencing HIS goodness.”
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: 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.
Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your loving kindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. Psalms 51:1-2 NKJV
David was praying a foreshadow of the Cross, at the cross this prayer was fulfilled for us. Jesus was the only perfect person to ever walk this earth and God knew it from the beginning. At the cross Jesus took all the sin for the whole world!!!!! And for those of us that have called upon his name in salvation we are redeemed……..today I would pray that all would shed any condemnation that they have and thank Jesus for redeeming us through his blood…….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
Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. 2 Timothy 4:18 NLT
Sometimes it seems like the attacks are never ending, we are surrounded by evil all day every day, but in this scripture Paul writes take heart God will deliver us from all evil. Gods plan for us is not to suffer but to have peace and joy knowing what awaits us when this life is done. Today I pray that we would all meditate on this scripture and know that we serve a all loving, caring, and protecting God…….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
I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ Acts 20:35 NKJV
In today’s times it seems like people expect things, that they are owed something. As Christians we should never expect anything, but know that we are blessed in everything, doing for others produces blessings because God is faithful, we shouldn’t expect blessings for doing for others, it’s just the way God works. Today do for someone that is in need of something, maybe just a kind word……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
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. Psalms 34:5 NLT
Is it hard for you to ask for help? Do you fell like you are weak if you do ask for help? God is waiting with open arms to help us through any situation or struggle, weakness comes from those who are proud, strength comes to those who humble themselves at the foot of the cross. Today I pray that we would all turn to Jesus for the solution, not the world…….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
“OPEN YOUR HANDS and your heart to receive this day as a precious gift from GOD. GOD begins each day with a sunrise, announcing HIS radiant Presence. By the time you rise from your bed, GOD has already prepared the way before you. The LORD eagerly awaits your first conscious thought. The LORD rejoices when you glance HIS way. Bring GOD the gift of thanksgiving, which opens your heart to rich communion with The LORD. Because The LORD is God, from whom all blessings flow, thankfulness is the best way to draw near HIM. Sing praise songs to GOD; tell of GOD’S wondrous works. Remember that The LORD takes great delight in you; GOD rejoices over you with singing.”
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24
Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 2
“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17
Prayer: God thank you for the sunrise everyday, announcing your presence and goodness. Thank you for preparing the way before me today. Help me to walk in step with the Holy Spirit, following wherever you lead in speech and deed. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
