When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is wisdom. Proverbs 11:2 NASB
How are you viewed as a person? Do you humble yourself? Or have to always give the right answer? Do you sometimes agree when you are wrong? Do you walk away from an argument or do you stay and try to prove you are right? Do you brag about all of your accomplishments or do you just say thank you? Today’s prayer is that we would always humble ourselves, for there is a time and reason for everything God blesses the humble ……Be Blessed and always be humble
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
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8 NLT
What are you constantly thinking of? Are your thoughts on things of the day, or things of God ? Paul writes about thinking of all the things are that worthy of praise, not the troubles and worries. Today I pray that all would keep the blessings of God in their thoughts and give him thanks for all he has done, all he is doing, and all he will do……..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
“IN GOD YOU HAVE EVERYTHING. In GOD you are complete. Your capacity to experience GOD is increasing, through HIS removal of debris and clutter from your heart. As your yearning for The LORD increases, other desires are gradually lessening. Since GOD is infinite and abundantly accessible to you, desiring HIM above all else is the best way to live. It is impossible for you to have a need that The LORD cannot meet. After all, GOD created you and everything that is. The world is still at GOD’S beck and call, though it often appears otherwise. Do not be fooled by appearances. Things that are visible are brief and fleeting, while things that are invisible are everlasting.”
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…. EPHESIANS 3 : 20
as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18
Prayer: Lord continue to remove the debris and clutter from my heart so that my desires melt into yours and eventually your desires become my desires. It amazes me the creator of the stars and everything under the stars is abundantly accessible to me? What an honor and privilege. Help me to take advantage of this precious gift Jesus died for today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.” 2 Corinthians 4:8 NLT
Day to day can sometimes seem impossible, always issues in one way or another. This scripture reminds us that no matter what we cannot be defeated in Christ!!! Today’s prayer is that we would take hold of this scripture and push on through the troubles in front of us…..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
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14 NIV
There are so many that have chosen the broad gate, in their mind it is easier living a life of quote freedom, no rules, being there own person. Jesus speaks of that road leading to destruction. Today’s prayer is that all would understand that the narrow road gives you the true meaning of freedom! The total lack of condemnation. The road to heaven is the easy road, there will be test and trials but we have the ultimate tour guide when we choose this path……..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
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke 15:4-7 NIV
Are you praying for a family member, friend, co-worker ? God hears your prayer and that one person is as important to the Lord as any other soul. The parable of the lost sheep reveals to us just how important every soul on earth is to our Father in Heaven. Today I boldly pray that God would grace us with the strength to overcome the adversity of the things of this world and boldly witness the joy that comes from making Jesus your Lord and Savior……..
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
“TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. The more intimately you experience GOD, the more convinced you become of HIS goodness. GOD is the Living One who sees you and longs to participate in your life. The LORD is training you to find HIM in each moment and to be a channel of HIS loving Presence. Sometimes GOD’S blessings come to you in mysterious ways: through pain and trouble. At such times you can know The LORD’s goodness only through your trust in GOD. Understanding will fail you, but trust will keep you close to GOD. Thank The LORD for the gift of HIS Peace, a gift of such immense proportions that you cannot fathom its depth or breadth. When CHRIST, The LORD appeared to HIS disciples after the resurrection, it was Peace that JESUS CHRIST communicated first of all. JESUS, The LORD knew this was their deepest need: to calm their fears and clear their minds. GOD also speaks Peace to you, for The LORD knows your anxious thoughts. Listen to GOD! Tune out other voices, so that you can hear GOD more clearly. GOD designed you to dwell in Peace all day, every day. Draw near to The LORD; receive GOD’S Peace.”
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. PSALM 34 : 8
So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,” for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.” Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered. GENESIS 16 : 13 – 14
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” JOHN 20 : 19
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 thank you for designing me to dwell in peace, all day everyday. Help me to tune out other voices, so I can hear you more clearly. To slow down, to sit in your presence, and to appreciate your blessings all around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“I will love You, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.” Psalms 18:1-3 NKJV
David was known to be a man after God’s heart. Are you? This Psalm is beautiful in so many ways and covers a multitude of areas. Today’s prayer is that we would pray this daily for God is our hope in darkness, our strength in weakness, our “be there in everything”…… 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 TAKING CARE OF YOU. Trust GOD at all times. Trust GOD in all circumstances. Trust GOD with all your heart. When you are weary and everything seems to be going wrong, you can still utter these four words: “I trust You, Jesus.” By doing so, you release matters into The LORD’S control, and you fall back into the security of CHRIST, The LORD’s everlasting arms. Before you arise from your bed in the morning, GOD has already arranged the events of your day. Every day provides many opportunities for you to learn GOD’S ways and grow closer to HIM. Signs of GOD’S Presence brighten even the dullest day when you have eyes that really see. Search for The LORD as for hidden treasure. GOD will be found by you.”
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. PROVERBS 3 : 5
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13 – 14
Prayer: God thank you for taking care of me and arranging every detail of my day before I even rise. Open my eyes to see the opportunities to love and blessings all around me. I trust you Jesus. Lead the way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk 3:17-18 NASB
Are you praising God in troublesome times? Or are you only praising him in the good times? God is always there and he is always faithful!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would praise God in everything we do at all times…….Be Blessed
