‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11 ‬: ‭5‬

​​As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. ‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11 ‬: ‭5‬ NIV

Trying to figure out everything that is going on in the world and in your life will always end with the same result “you will never understand”. Worry and control are extremely exhausting, Today’s prayer is that we would trust in The LORD and all HIS ways, as The Bible says all things work for the good of those who love 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

WAITING, TRUSTING, AND HOPING are intricately connected, like golden strands interwoven to form a strong chain.  | JOHN 14 : 1, PSALM 27 : 14

https://youtu.be/aBl0LhOiWWA

“WAITING, TRUSTING, AND HOPING are intricately connected, like golden strands interwoven to form a strong chain. Trusting is the central strand, because it is the response from GOD’S children that HE desires the most. Waiting and hoping embellish the central strand and strengthen the chain that connects you to GOD. Waiting for The LORD to work, with your eyes on HIM, is evidence that you really do trust HIM. If you mouth the words “GOD, I trust You” while anxiously trying to make things go your way, your words ring hollow. Hoping is future-directed, connecting you to your inheritance in Heaven. However, the benefits of hope fall fully on you in the present. Because you are GOD’S, you don’t just pass time in your waiting. You can wait expectantly, in hopeful trust. Keep your “antennae” out to pick up even the faintest glimmer of GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.” JOHN 14 : 1 

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. PSALM 27 : 14 

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, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, teach me to wait, trust, and hope in You, knowing that You are always working for my good. Strengthen my faith so that my trust is not just words, but a deep confidence in Your perfect timing. Help me to wait expectantly, with my eyes fixed on You. Amen.

John 21 : 20 – 22

Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.” John 21 : 20 – 22 NKJV

This scripture demonstrates a powerful nugget for all. JESUS CHRIST had just told Peter what his future would hold and his first reaction wasn’t “what should I do until that time?”, it was what about the other disciple. In the world today we live in a nosy, have to know about everybody. Today listen to what JESUS CHRIST tells you about yourself! Don’t worry about anybody else’s chosen path, GOD has gifted us with different gifts and assignments!!!! And all to HIS Glory. Look at what Peter accomplished when he focused on what work The LORD had for him……… 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

WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT | 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7, GALATIANS 5 : 25

“WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. As you take steps of faith, depending on GOD, HE will show you how much HE can do for you. If you live your life too safely, you will never know the thrill of seeing GOD work through you. When The LORD gave you HIS Holy Spirit, The LORD empowered you to live beyond your natural ability and strength. That’s why it is so wrong to measure your energy level against the challenges ahead of you. The issue is not your strength but GOD’S, which is limitless. By walking close to GOD, you can accomplish HIS purposes in HIS strength.”

For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7 (NKJV) 

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. GALATIANS 5 : 25

Prayer:  Lord help me to walk by faith and not by sight. To depend on you and your strength which is limitless and not on my own strength. This requires a close connection with you Lord. Help me to live and keep in step with your Holy Spirit day by day, moment by moment. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1 ‬: ‭14

The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. ‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1 ‬: ‭14‬ NIV

Isn’t it nice to know that you are forgiven? And not only forgiven but unconditionally loved. GOD loved us so much that HE sent HIS Son JESUS CHRIST  for everyone who declares HIM Lord and Savior. When we miss the mark the devil jumps for joy knowing that condemnation will show up and pull us away from GOD, but when you truly understand Grace you will know that it empowers us to overcome our shortcomings and draw nearer to GOD. Today’s prayer is that we would truly understand Grace in its full measure, it’s not only unmerited favor it’s the power to overcome sin ……… Be Blessed

YOU ARE GOD’S FOR ALL TIME — and beyond time, into eternity. | PSALM 37 : 23 – 24, PSALM 18 : 30

https://youtu.be/HPN2hB2qDCY

“YOU ARE GOD’S FOR ALL TIME — and beyond time, into eternity. No power can deny you your inheritance in heaven. GOD wants you to realize how utterly secure you are! Even if you falter as you journey through life, GOD will NEVER let go of your hand. Knowing that your future is absolutely assured can free you to live abundantly today. The LORD has prepared this day for you with the most tender concern and attention to detail. Instead of approaching the day as a blank page that you need to fill up, try living it in a responsive mode: being on the lookout for all that The LORD is doing. This sounds easy, but it requires a deep level of trust, based on the knowledge that GOD’S way is perfect.”

Scripture

If the LORD delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. PSALM 37 : 23 – 24 

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. PSALM 18 : 30

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for the security that no matter how many times I falter in this life, nothing can separate me from your presence now and for eternity. Help me to live in a responsive mode: being on the lookout for all you are doing and following your lead. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭1 John‬ ‭4 : 16

“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4 : 16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

What the world is missing is “True Love” and what is the meaning of True Love? True love is the love that GOD displayed for us by sending HIS SON to The Cross for all of our sin. True love is to have the heart of a servant, to put others before yourself, to be kind in all circumstances. Today’s prayer is that we all would set aside all of the hustle of the world and slow down enough to recognize what love is and show it to all …… 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’S RADIANT PRESENCE. | GALATIANS 5 : 22, 1 JOHN 4 : 12

https://youtu.be/_aJQcFWAWDM

“REST IN GOD’S RADIANT PRESENCE. The world around you seems to spin faster and faster, till everything is a blur. Yet there is a cushion of calm at the center of your life, where you live in union with GOD. Return to this soothing Center as often as you can, for this is where you are energized: filled with GOD’S Love, Joy, and Peace. The world is a needy place; do not go there for sustenance. Instead, come to The LORD. Learn to depend on The LORD alone, and your weakness will become saturated with HIS Power. When you find your completeness in GOD, you can help other people without using them to meet your own needs. Live in the Light of The LORD’S Presence, and your light will shine brightly into the lives of others.”

Scripture

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

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 JOHN 4 : 12

Prayer

Prayer: Father, Help me return often to the quiet center of Your presence. Fill me with Your love, joy, and peace so I depend on You, not the world. In my weakness, let Your power shine, and help my life be a light to others. Amen.

1 John 1 : 5 – 7

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1 : 5 – 7 NKJV

It is so important as Christians to let our light shine, it is so easy when trials arise to shut the light off and let the dark show and that is exactly what the devil wants. To have true fellowship with THE LORD is defined by our actions, remember non believers and some believers are watching what we do under the gun. Today I pray that we all will let our light shine to the glory of GOD, for HE created light and HE is light ……….. 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
