DO NOT BE WEIGHED DOWN by the clutter in your life: lots of little chores to do sometime, in no particular order. – PROVERBS 16 : 3, MATTHEW 6 : 33

“DO NOT BE WEIGHED DOWN by the clutter in your life: lots of little chores to do sometime, in no particular order. If you focus too much on these petty tasks, trying to get them all out of the way, you will discover that they are endless. They can eat up as much time as you devote to them. Instead of trying to do all your chores at once, choose the ones that need to be done today. Let the rest slip into the background of your mind, so GOD can be in the forefront of your awareness. Remember that your ultimate goal is living close to GOD, being responsive to HIS initiatives. The LORD can communicate with you most readily when your mind is uncluttered and turned toward HIM. Seek GOD’S Face continually throughout this day. Let GOD’S Presence bring order to your thoughts, infusing Peace into your entire being.”

Scripture

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. PROVERBS 16 : 3

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” MATTHEW 6 : 33

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, as I spend time with you, order my thoughts and infuse peace into my entire being. Let peace and love and joy overflow in and through me today by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭13:5

“But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭13:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Sometimes it’s hard to grasp the mercy of God, we fail daily but the Lord is right there to pick us up and put us back on the straight path. Our salvation is our everything and we need to thank the Lord daily. Today’s prayer is when we miss the mark and fall into sin we understand our counselor is right there waiting with arms wide open, repent and ask for guidance…….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

WHEN YOU ARE PLAGUED by a persistent problem—one that goes on and on—view it as a rich opportunity. ISAIAH 30 : 20 – 21, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17

“WHEN YOU ARE PLAGUED by a persistent problem—one that goes on and on—view it as a rich opportunity. An ongoing problem is like a tutor who is always by your side. The learning possibilities are limited only by your willingness to be teachable. In faith, thank GOD for your problem. Ask GOD to open your eyes and your heart to all that HE is accomplishing through this difficulty. Once you have become grateful for a problem, it loses its power to drag you down. On the contrary, your thankful attitude will lift you up into heavenly places with GOD. From this perspective, your difficulty can be seen as a slight, temporary distress that is producing for you a transcendent Glory never to cease!”

Scripture

Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ISAIAH 30 : 20 – 21

For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17

Prayer

Prayer: God open my eyes and my heart to see all that you are accomplishing through difficulties in my life. An ongoing problem is like a tutor always by my side. Help me to find the lesson each day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬

And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. 1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ NLT

Do you ever get that feeling inside of total peace? Do you ever hear that voice telling you don’t do that, do this?This my friends is the spirit of God that lives inside us. Today I pray that we would all listen to the direction that the Holy Spirit gives us, listen closely and be at peace…….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 ‭103:22

“Praise the LORD, everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the LORD.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103:22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily lives we stop one day and think, when was the last time I gave thanks to God for all he does? Prayer and communication should be a by the hour thing with our Lord. Today’s prayer is that we all would give thanks and praise in all things to the Lord, good and bad because we know all Good comes from the Lord, and all the bad the Lord will turn to good for his glory………..Be Blessed and Praise

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 ‭14:34-35‬

““Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭14:34-35‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

It’s a privilege to be a Christian it’s also our obligation to witness the gospel to all we can. To say you’re a Christian is one thing but are you actively pursuing souls for Christ? Thus salt without flavor is useless. Today’s prayer is we would be more than just professing Christians but be active Christians……….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

YOUR LONGING FOR HEAVEN IS GOOD – ROMANS 8 : 23 – 25, HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20, ROMANS 15 : 13

“YOUR LONGING FOR HEAVEN IS GOOD, because it is an extension of your yearning for GOD. The hope of heaven is meant to strengthen and encourage you, filling you with wondrous Joy. Many Christians have misunderstood this word hope, believing that it denotes wishful thinking. Nothing could be farther from the truth! As soon as The LORD became your Savior, heaven became your ultimate destination. The phrase hope of heaven highlights the benefits you can enjoy even while remaining on earth. This hope keeps you spiritually alive during dark times of adversity; it brightens your path and heightens your awareness of GOD’S Presence. GOD’S desire is that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Scripture

Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. ROMANS 8 : 23 – 25

God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ROMANS 15 : 13

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, your hope is an anchor for my soul. It’s what I cling to in dark times. May your hope fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in you, by the power of your Holy Spirit who lives in me, so that I may overflow with confident hope. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 NKJV

Jesus said “I am the way” the way to eternal life is through salvation in Jesus which is a gift!!! Not of mans effort. Jesus said ” I am the truth” this means that every spoken word from him is absolute!!!! We should strive to be like him. He said ” I am the life” there is no life worth living aside of Jesus !!!! He is our comfort, counselor , best friend, our everything. Today meditate on the gift of salvation and give thanks for that unconditional love….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

REST IN GOD, forgetting about the worries of the world. – HEBREWS 13 : 8, ECCLESIASTE 1 : 2, PROVERBS 3 : 6

“REST IN GOD, forgetting about the worries of the world. Focus on GOD and let The LORD’S living Presence envelop you in Peace. Tune in to GOD’S eternal security, for GOD is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If you live on the surface of life by focusing on ever-changing phenomena, you will find yourself echoing the words of Solomon: “Meaningless! Meaningless! Everything is meaningless!” Living in collaboration with GOD is the way to instill meaning into your days. Begin each day alone with GOD, so that you can experience the reality of The LORD’S Presence. As you spend time with GOD, the way before you opens up step by step. Arise from the stillness of your communion, and gradually begin your journey through the day. Hold GOD’S hand in deliberate dependence on HIM, and The LORD will smooth out the path before you.”

Scripture

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13 : 8

“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” ECCLESIASTE 1 : 2

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.. PROVERBS 3 : 6

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to rest in you each day, forgetting about the worries of the world and letting your presence and peace envelop me. I hold out my hand in deliberate dependence on you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:4-6

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:4-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Still think you’re not worthy? Still think you’re not good enough? This scripture tells us that even though at times we think we are not worthy of God’s grace it is freely given to us because of God’s love for us. Grace is not a license to sin, it’s a reason not to. Today’s prayer is that we would live the life that God ordained for each one of us, when you miss the mark REPENT!!! Don’t regress – truly let the grace of God work in your life…….Be Blessed & remember to Bless someone else
