GOD IS CALLING YOU to a life of thankfulness. – ISAIAH 6 : 3, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

“GOD IS CALLING YOU to a life of thankfulness. The LORD wants all your moments to be punctuated with thanksgiving. The basis for your gratitude is GOD’S sovereignty. The LORD is the Creator and Controller of the universe. Heaven and earth are filled with HIS glorious Presence. When you criticize or complain, you are acting as if you think you could run the world better than GOD does. From your limited human perspective, it may look as if GOD is mismanaging things. But you don’t know what The LORD knows or see what HE sees. If GOD pulled back the curtain to allow you to view heavenly realms, you would understand much more. However, GOD has designed you to live by faith, not by sight. GOD lovingly shields you from knowing the future or seeing into the spirit world. Acknowledge The LORD’S sovereignty by giving thanks in all circumstances.”

Scripture

And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” ISAIAH 6 : 3

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to live a life of thankfulness. If you did nothing else but die on the cross for my sins that would have been enough to give thanks and praise to you all the days of my life. But in your goodness you do more each day. Thank you Jesus. In your name I pray. Amen.

Romans 12 : 1 – 2

beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12 : 1 – 2 NKJV

Paul says I bring to you, by the mercies of God. Too many Christians are going to GOD trying to make him perform by their works, we should be thanking HIM for HIS Mercy…… Today I pray that we all would renew our minds daily, and embrace GOD’S mercy for 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

TRUST GOD, and don’t be afraid. – ISAIAH 12 : 2, PSALM 61 : 2 – 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18

“TRUST GOD, and don’t be afraid. Many things feel out of control. Your routines are not running smoothly. You tend to feel more secure when your life is predictable. Let GOD lead you to the rock that is higher than you and your circumstances. Take refuge in the shelter of GOD’S wings, where you are absolutely secure. When you are shaken out of your comfortable routines, grip The LORD’S hand tightly and look for growth opportunities. Instead of bemoaning the loss of your comfort, accept the challenge of something new. The LORD leads you on from glory to glory, making you fit for HIS kingdom. Say yes to the ways GOD works in your life. Trust The LORD, and don’t be afraid.”

Scripture

“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” ISAIAH 12 : 2

From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. PSALM 61 : 2 – 4

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to say yes to the ways you work in my life. And when you take me out of my comfort zone, help me to grip your hand tightly and rely on your strength, your wisdom, and your Holy Spirit. With God all things are possible. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭53 ‬: ‭6‬

All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all. ‭Isaiah‬ ‭53 ‬: ‭6‬ NLT

The plans for us from God are to prosper and be filled with love and joy, what have you done with those plans? The beauty of it all is no matter what we have done it’s never too late to change!!!! We serve a God of second and third chances, we serve a loving God, a God that only wants good for us. Today I pray that no matter where you are that you realize it’s never too late, God has his arms wide open and waiting ….. I sure am glad that I am living proof of what God’s promise is ……. Be Blessed

HEAVEN IS both present and future. – 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 20 – 23, HEBREWS 6 : 19

“HEAVEN IS both present and future. As you walk along your life-path holding GOD’S hand, you are already in touch with the essence of heaven: nearness to GOD. You can also find many hints of heaven along your pathway, because the earth is radiantly alive with The LORD’S Presence. Shimmering sunshine awakens your heart, gently reminding you of GOD’S brilliant Light. Birds and flowers, trees and skies evoke praises to GOD’S holy Name. Keep your eyes and ears fully open as you journey with The LORD. At the end of your life-path is an entrance to heaven. Only GOD knows when you will reach that destination, but GOD is preparing you for it each step of the way. The absolute certainty of your heavenly home gives you Peace and Joy, to help you along your journey. You know that you will reach your home in The LORD’S perfect timing: not one moment too soon or too late. Let the hope of heaven encourage you, as you walk along the path of Life with GOD.”

Scripture

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 20 – 23

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 19

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, the absolute certainty of heaven gives me peace and joy even on tough days. My light and momentary troubles are achieving for me an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. Open my eyes to see the hints of Heaven you’ve placed along my path today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭11 : 7

“For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.” Psalms‬ ‭11 : 7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Oh to being pleasing to God, He loves when we become more like his Son. The way we think determines the way we act, for example if we look at the negative in all situations we will become negative, if we look at the positives we will become positive. Today’s prayer is that we would be bright witnesses to the positive change having Jesus Christ as the cornerstone in our lives and let all know it’s waiting for them as well ……. Be Blessed

THIS IS THE DAY THAT GOD HAS MADE. – PSALM 118 : 24, PHILIPPIANS 3 : 13 – 14

“THIS IS THE DAY THAT GOD HAS MADE. Rejoice and be glad in it. Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that GOD is pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since GOD is the Author of your circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank The LORD for them. This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees GOD to work HIS ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it. To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. The LORD knew what HE was doing when HE divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. GOD understands human frailty, and GOD knows that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in The LORD’S Presence today.”

Scripture

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 3 : 13 – 14

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to begin today with open hands, ready to receive whatever you have for me, whether the path is smooth or bumpy. I trust you. Help me cling to your hand and remain grateful no matter what. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭42 : 11

This is the state you will have if you trust in the world, the world will bring temporary happiness and eternal sorrow. Today’s prayer is that we would have 100% trust in God and God alone …… Be Blessed
