Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7 : 8

“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 to is the Lord’s 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 CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of Glory. The One who walks beside you, holding you by your hand, is the same One who lives within you. This is a deep, unfathomable mystery. GOD and you are intertwined in an intimacy involving every fiber of your being. The Light of The LORD’S Presence shines within you, as well as upon you. GOD is in you, and you are in GOD; therefore, nothing in heaven or on earth can separate you from The LORD! As you sit quietly in GOD’S Presence, your awareness of The LORD’S Life within you is heightened. This produces the Joy of the Lord, which is your strength. The LORD, the God of hope, fills you with all Joy and Peace as you trust in HIM, so that you may bubble over with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”Scripture

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 man’s 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 from 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

THIS IS A TIME OF ABUNDANCE in your life. – PSALM 23 : 5, JOHN 3 : 16, LUKE 11 : 9 – 10, ROMANS 8 : 32

https://youtu.be/-HUOr7f9Y-A

“THIS IS A TIME OF ABUNDANCE in your life. Your cup runs over with blessings. After plodding uphill for many weeks, you are now traipsing through lush meadows drenched in warm sunshine. GOD wants you to enjoy to the fullest this time of ease and refreshment. GOD delights in providing it for you. Sometimes GOD’S children hesitate to receive HIS good gifts with open hands. Feelings of false guilt creep in, telling them they don’t deserve to be so richly blessed. This is nonsense-thinking, because no one deserves anything from The LORD. GOD’S kingdom is not about earning and deserving; it’s about believing and receiving. When a child of GOD balks at accepting The LORD’S gifts, HE is deeply grieved. When you receive GOD’S abundant blessings with a grateful heart, The LORD rejoices. GOD’S pleasure in giving and your pleasure in receiving flow together in joyous harmony.”

Scripture

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. PSALM 23 : 5 (KJV)

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” JOHN 3 : 16

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” LUKE 11 : 9 – 10

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

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus your grace removes my old identity and replaces it with a brand-new identity – a child of God. Thank you for adopting me into your family and lavishing me with blessings and a home for eternity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭10 : 4 – 5‬

“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10 : 4 – 5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

As Christians we know what is in line with God’s word, we know the difference between wrong and right in God’s eyes. Are we rewriting his words to fit our needs? The Bible gives us instruction on how to be the example of Christ, although temptation is all around from the worldly standard our spirit knows how to combat that temptation. Today’s prayer is that we would be so strong in God’s word that there would be no chance to twist it in any way ……… Be Blessed and Pray hard

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 LET any set of circumstances intimidate you. – EPHESIANS 1 : 18 – 20, PSALM 105 : 4, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25

https://youtu.be/5JfnEw8PtcA

“DO NOT LET any set of circumstances intimidate you. The more challenging your day, the more of GOD’S Power HE places at your disposal. You seem to think that GOD empowers you equally each day, but this is not so. Your tendency upon awakening is to assess the difficulties ahead of you, measuring them against your average strength. This is an exercise in unreality. GOD knows what each of your days will contain, and HE empowers you accordingly. The degree to which The LORD strengthens you on a given day is based mainly on two variables: the difficulty of your circumstances, and your willingness to depend on GOD for help. Try to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of The LORD’S Power than usual. Look to GOD for all that you need, and watch to see what The LORD will do. As your day, so shall your strength be.”

Scripture

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms. EPHESIANS 1 : 18 – 20

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4

Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; As your days, so shall your strength be. DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: God you know what challenges and triumphs are up ahead today. When challenges come, help me to view them as opportunities to receive more of your power and strength than usual. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Micah‬ ‭6‬ : ‭8

But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what GOD is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously— take God seriously. ‭Micah‬ ‭6‬ : ‭8‬ MSG

I love the way this translation explains it, basically be nice to all and put God first in everything!!!!! The Bible has laid out instructions for our lives, it is so easy to get tangled up in the things of the world, but when God’s first it becomes clear on how to handle circumstances. Today I pray that it would be this simple to translate for us, treat all equally, love with all you have, don’t be so hard on yourself, and most important PUT GOD FIRST…….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 APPRECIATE difficult days. – ISAIAH 41 : 10, PSALM 102 : 27, ACTS 17 : 28

https://youtu.be/hAtFCi5as3s

“LEARN TO APPRECIATE difficult days. Be stimulated by the challenges you encounter along your way. As you journey through rough terrain with GOD, gain confidence from your knowledge that together The LORD and you can handle anything. This knowledge consists of three parts: your relationship with GOD, promises in The Bible, and past experiences of coping successfully during hard times. Look back on your life, and see how GOD has helped you through difficult days. If you are tempted to think, “Yes, but that was then, and this is now, ” remember who GOD IS! Although you and your circumstances may change dramatically, GOD remains the same throughout time and eternity. This is the basis of your confidence. In GOD’S Presence you live and move and have your being.”

Scripture

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

“‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 28

Prayer

Prayer: Lord on days and seasons of rough terrain, help me to gain confidence in your presence with me, your unshakable promises, and your unfailing love and presence with me. Great is your faithfulness, Lord unto me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hebrews‬ ‭13 : 14

“For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.” Hebrews‬ ‭13 : 14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It’s easy to get frustrated with all that is going on in the world today but this scripture is reassuring us that this life is just temporary. Our next life is eternal and perfect. Today’s prayer is that when things get rough we hold on to the promise we have in Heaven …….. 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

James‬ ‭4 : 1 – 3

“What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong — you want only what will give you pleasure.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4 : 1 – 3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

What are your motives? Do you find yourself in envy of others? Do you want what others have at any price? This scripture is a direct reflection of why the world is in the condition it is in today! People want what they don’t deserve or have not labored to have so they steal, kill, and destroy to get it at all cost and with no regard for who suffers! Today’s prayer is that we would never have envy or want so bad that it consumes our life and thoughts!! Work hard, love hard, and bless others and you will love a joyful life with what you have been blessed with ……. Be Blessed And Be A Blessing

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
