‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬ :‭ 4 – 5

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. ‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬ :‭ 4 – 5‬ NLT

Reality check! We sometimes think life is unfair, we complain about the most trivial things, we exchange our thankfulness of life in general for what? Today I pray that we would all remember the gift we were given when Jesus so graciously went to the cross in our place, that gift was Love and Life ……. 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 SPEAKS TO YOU from the depths of eternity. – PSALM 90 : 2, COLOSSIANS 1 : 27, COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

“GOD SPEAKS TO YOU from the depths of eternity. Before the world was formed, GOD WAS! You hear GOD in the depths of your being, where HE has taken up residence. GOD is Christ in you, the hope of Glory. JESUS CHRIST, your Lord and Savior, is alive within you. Learn to tune in to GOD’S living Presence by seeking HIM in silence. As you celebrate the wonder of The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S birth in Bethlehem, celebrate also your rebirth into eternal life. This everlasting gift was the sole purpose of The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S entering your sin-stained world. Receive The LORD’S gift with awe and humility. Take time to explore the vast dimensions of GOD’S Love. Allow thankfulness to flow freely from your heart in response to The LORD’S glorious gift. Let GOD’S Peace rule in your heart, and be thankful.”

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. PSALM 90 : 2

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

Prayer: Lord, help me to tune into Your living presence by seeking You in the stillness. Thank You for sending Your Son, who made the ultimate sacrifice so I could be with You forever. This Christmas, help me keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and my heart full of gratitude for all He has done. In His name, I pray. Amen.

‭‭Titus‬ ‭2 : 11

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,” ‭‭Titus‬ ‭2 : 11‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Not one of us is different when it comes to the opportunity of receiving salvation. The difference begins when we choose to reject what Christ did on the Cross. Jesus Christ died that day so that all of us could be set free from the of bondage and sin that we were born into, the sad truth is that many will reject the opportunity. Today’s prayer is that we would be a living testimony to what our salvation has done and is doing in our lives every single day …… Be Blessed

GOD IS KING OF KINGS and Lord of lords, dwelling in dazzlingly bright Light! – 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16, PSALM 95 : 6 – 7, ROMANS 8 : 32, 2 PETER 1 : 19

“GOD IS KING OF KINGS and Lord of lords, dwelling in dazzlingly bright Light! GOD is also your Shepherd, Companion, and Friend — The One who never lets go of your hand. Worship GOD in HIS Holy Majesty; come close to GOD, and rest in HIS Presence. You need The LORD both as GOD and as Man. Only The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’s Incarnation on that first, long-ago Christmas could fulfill your neediness. Since The LORD, JESUS CHRIST went to such extreme measures to save you from your sins, you can be assured that HE will graciously give you all you need. Nurture well your trust in GOD as Savior, Lord, and Friend. GOD have held back nothing in HIS provision for you. The LORD has even deigned to live within you! Rejoice in all that The LORD has done for you, and GOD’S Light will shine through you into the world.”

Scripture

. . . which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. PSALM 95 : 6 – 7

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all— how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ROMANS 8 : 32

And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 2 PETER 1 : 19

Prayer

Revelation ‭3 ‬: ‭20

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Revelation ‭3 ‬: ‭20‬ NLT

Do you hear that knock? Are you always ready for fellowship with Jesus? Or are we so wrapped up in our daily lives that we ignore that knock? Today’s prayer is that at all times we are taking the time to fellowship with the Lord, turn off the phone, TV, etc and fellowship with the Lord. It’s the best part of the day …….. 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 THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST JOINED THE RANKS of humanity, born into the humblest conditions, The LORD’S Glory was hidden from all but a few people – JOHN 2 : 11, LUKE 23 : 35 – 36, PSALM 92 : 1 – 5

“WHEN THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST JOINED THE RANKS of humanity, born into the humblest conditions, The LORD’S Glory was hidden from all but a few people. Occasionally, streaks of Glory shone out of JESUS CHRIST, especially when HE began to do miracles. Toward the end of HIS life, The LORD was taunted and tempted to display more of HIS awesome Power than HIS Father’s plan permitted. The LORD could have called down legions of angels to rescue HIM at any point. Imagine the self-control required of a martyr who could free Himself at will! All of this was necessary to provide the relationship with GOD that you now enjoy. Let your life become a praise song to The LORD by proclaiming GOD’S glorious Presence in the world.”

Scripture

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. JOHN 2 : 11

The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.” The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar. . . . LUKE 23 : 35 – 36

Prayer

It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of youI’m r hands. How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts! PSALM 92 : 1 – 5

Prayer: Father, let my life be a praise song to you and your light shine brightly through me. Don’t let me miss Your sacrifice this Christmas season. Help me to simplify my activities and traditions so I can focus my celebration on Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭90 : 12‬

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭90 : 12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We all have a day that we will meet the Lord, are you living life with a just get by attitude or are you living life to the fullest for God? Today’s prayer is that we would approach every day with thanks and with a heart to serve the Lord with all our heart …….. 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

Isaiah‬ ‭53 : 3‬

“He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.” Isaiah‬ ‭53 : 3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you ever feel unappreciated? Do you do good and still get grief from some people? Well Jesus lived this life and are we greater than him? Jesus spent his whole life doing good for others and they still put him on the cross. Today’s prayer is that we would understand that when we do good it’s because of the love of God that is in us and when we get grief it is just part of the deal …… 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

1 Peter‬ ‭2 ‬: ‭9

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. ‭1 Peter‬ ‭2 ‬: ‭9‬ NLT

Isn’t it nice to know that this is how God feels about us, He loves us so much that we are his chosen people. The world says hold your own and watch out for number one but as God’s chosen people we should show the same love and compassion as He does. Today I pray that we all would show that same love, as hard as it is, remember the mercy and grace that we have been given …… 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

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 THE LORD’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 your peace into my spirit. Let peace, love and joy overflow in and through me today by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
