YOU ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD.  – EPHESIANS 1 : 4, PROVERBS 16 : 9, JEREMIAH 29 : 11, EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14

https://youtu.be/i8547EmeMcY

“YOU ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD. GOD chose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with HIM along paths designed uniquely for you. Concentrate on keeping in step with The LORD, instead of trying to anticipate HIS plans for you. If you trust that GOD’S plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment. Your hope and your future are rooted in heaven, where eternal ecstasy awaits you. Nothing can rob you of your inheritance of unimaginable riches and well-being. Sometimes GOD grants you glimpses of your glorious future, to encourage you and spur you on. But your main focus should be staying close to GOD. GOD sets the pace in keeping with your needs and HIS purposes.”

Scripture

. . . just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. EPHESIANS 1 : 4 (NKJV) 

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. PROVERBS 16 : 9 

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29 : 11 

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, thank You for calling me Your beloved child. It’s humbling to know You chose me before time began and You walk with me every step of the way. Help me not to rush ahead or worry about what’s next, but to stay in step with You. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭91 : 1 – 2

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91 : 1 – 2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Where do you dwell? Who do you trust? To dwell in the world will bring worldly results, to trust in the world will bring worldly results, but living a life dependent on GOD will produce Godly results. Today’s prayer is that in all we do we do it with the mind of Christ …… 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

LEARN TO LAUGH at yourself more freely. – PROVERBS 17 : 22, PROVERBS 31 : 25, MATTHEW 1 : 23, MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30

https://youtu.be/vQHUEJidijI

“LEARN TO LAUGH at yourself more freely. Don’t take yourself or your circumstances so seriously. Relax and know that The LORD IS GOD with you. When you desire GOD’S will above all else, life becomes much less threatening. Stop trying to monitor The LORD’S responsibilities — things that are beyond your control. Find freedom by accepting the boundaries of your domain. Laughter lightens your load and lifts your heart into heavenly places. Your laughter rises to heaven and blends with angelic melodies of praise. Just as parents delight in the laughter of their children, so GOD delights in hearing HIS children laugh. The LORD rejoices when you trust HIM enough to enjoy your life lightheartedly. Do not miss the Joy of GOD”S Presence by carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Rather, take The LORD’S yoke upon you and learn from HIM. GOD’S yoke is comfortable and pleasant; GOD’S burden is light and easily borne.”

Scripture

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17 : 22 

She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. PROVERBS 31 : 25 

“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 23 

 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for the gentle reminder not to take myself so seriously. You are God—and I am not. Help me release what isn’t mine to carry and rest in the freedom of knowing You’re in control. Teach me to laugh more, to enjoy life with childlike trust, and to find joy even in the ordinary. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 4

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! ‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 4‬ NLT

Has someone or something taken your joy? Well it’s temporary. Joy in things of the world will at some point leave you wanting something more, something bigger, but joy in The Lord, our one true hope will never leave us craving more. Today I pray that whatever brings you joy would be put aside and your true joy would come from the Lord ….. 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 ON THE HIGH ROAD WITH GOD. – EPHESIANS 2 : 10, MICAH 6 : 8

https://youtu.be/mz9bSxR6RzI

“STAY ON THE HIGH ROAD WITH GOD. Many voices clamor for your attention, trying to divert you to another path. But GOD has called you to walk ever so closely with HIM, soaking in The LORD’S Presence, living in HIS Peace. This is The LORD’S unique design for you, planned before the world began. GOD has called each of HIS children to a different path, distinctly designed for that one. Do not let anyone convince you that their path is the only right way. And be careful not to extol your path as superior to another’s way. What GOD requires of you is to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with GOD —wherever HE leads.”

Scripture

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. EPHESIANS 2 : 10 

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. MICAH 6 : 8

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to walk ever so close to you today, soaking in your presence, living in your peace. To be close and still enough to hear your voice and follow wherever you lead. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭7 ‬: ‭15 ‬- ‭20‬

“I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.” Romans‬ ‭7 ‬: ‭15 ‬- ‭20‬ ‭

We all want to do right but do wrong!!! This is human nature!!! Sin was in us at birth and we battle it everyday! Paul says I want to do what’s right but do what’s wrong, sound familiar? Today’s prayer is that we let the Holy Spirit convict us of our wrong and help us do what’s right ….. Be Blessed and pray for the help

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 CREATING something new in you: a bubbling spring of Joy that spills over into others’ lives. – JOHN 3 : 8, GALATIANS 5 : 22 – 23 A

https://youtu.be/B-q-L2dP4wc

“GOD IS CREATING something new in you: a bubbling spring of Joy that spills over into others’ lives. Do not mistake this Joy for your own or try to take credit for it in any way. Instead, watch in delight as GOD’S Holy Spirit flows through you to bless others. Let yourself become a reservoir of the Spirit’s fruit. Your part is to live close to GOD, open to all that The LORD is doing in you. Don’t try to control the streaming of GOD’S Holy Spirit through you. Just keep focusing on GOD as we walk through this day together. Enjoy The LORD’S Presence, which permeates you with Love, Joy, and Peace.”

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” JOHN 3 : 8 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. GALATIANS 5 : 22 – 23 A 

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for the new work You’re doing in me—a bubbling spring of Joy that spills over into others’ lives. I know it’s not my own strength, but Your Holy Spirit flowing through me. Help me stay close to You today, open and surrendered, so Your Love, Joy, and Peace can overflow into every moment. Amen.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2 : 9‬

“However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him—” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2 : 9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This scripture reminds us that no matter how bad things seem, no matter how much we don’t see it happening God is always preparing the best for those who love him. Today’s prayer is that through the trials we would see triumph and through all we would praise the Lord of Lords …. Be Blessed

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4 : 11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We all have things we value! But do we worship them? The material things we have are just that Material. Today’s prayer is that we would worship only one the true all mighty God ……Be Blessed

James 1 : 19 – 20

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. James 1 : 19 – 20 NKJV

Boy is this one needed in all of our lives, have you heard the saying “God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason”? I believe this is the scripture it is based on. Everyone wants to jump to conclusions or assume the worst of every situation, shoot first then ask questions, this scripture is telling us to really process a situation before we come to our decision, and then when we come to that conclusion approach it in a Godly manner. Today I would pray that we all would put this approach into our lives and that the spirit of God would help us to obtain it ……… 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
