“If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.” Galatians 6 : 3 – 5 NIV
How’s your Jesus shining? Are you showing the ways of the Lord or the ways of the world?. In the world today we measure ourselves by the other person, when in actuality we should always measure ourselves on how much Jesus we are showing. Today’s prayer is that we would never compare ourselves to one another, but only measure ourselves to the Lord of Lords……..Be Blessed

“GOD IS THE GOD OF ALL TIME and all that is. Seek GOD not only in morning quietness but consistently throughout the day. Do not let unexpected problems distract you from The LORD’S Presence. Instead, talk with GOD about everything, and watch confidently to see what HE will do. Adversity need not interrupt your communion with The LORD. When things go “wrong,” you tend to react as if you’re being punished. Instead of this negative response, try to view difficulties as blessings in disguise. Make GOD your Refuge by pouring out your heart to The LORD, trusting in HIM at all times.”
Scripture
Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. PSALM 55 : 17
Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him. PSALM 32 : 6

Prayer: Lord, I want to make you my refuge, trusting you at all times – morning, noon, and night. When I forget, gently remind me you are with me and you promise to use everything for good. I trust you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“GOD IS YOURS FOR ALL ETERNITY. GOD is the Alpha and the Omega: the One who is and was and is to come. The world you inhabit is a place of constant changes — more than your mind can absorb without going into shock. Even the body you inhabit is changing relentlessly, in spite of modern science’s attempts to prolong youth and life indefinitely. GOD, however, is the same yesterday and today and forever. Because GOD never changes, your relationship with The LORD provides a rock-solid foundation for your life. The LORD will never leave your side. When you move on from this life to the next, HIS Presence beside you will shine brighter with each step. You have nothing to fear, because GOD is with you for all time and throughout eternity.”
Scripture
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” REVELATION 1 : 8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13 : 8
In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 25 – 27
For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end. PSALM 48 : 14
Prayer
Prayer: God thank you for being my loving and good God. Though my body is slowly withering away, with each day I am closer to my true home in Heaven. Help me to live a life now that’s honoring, pleasing, and all in for you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Joshua said to the people, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Long ago your ancestors, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River, and they worshiped other gods. But I took your ancestor Abraham from the land beyond the Euphrates and led him into the land of Canaan. I gave him many descendants through his son Isaac. To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I gave the mountains of Seir, while Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. “Then I sent Moses and Aaron, and I brought terrible plagues on Egypt; and afterward I brought you out as a free people. But when your ancestors arrived at the Red Sea, the Egyptians chased after you with chariots and charioteers. When your ancestors cried out to the Lord, I put darkness between you and the Egyptians. I brought the sea crashing down on the Egyptians, drowning them. With your very own eyes you saw what I did. Then you lived in the wilderness for many years. “Finally, I brought you into the land of the Amorites on the east side of the Jordan. They fought against you, but I destroyed them before you. I gave you victory over them, and you took possession of their land. Then Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, started a war against Israel. He summoned Balaam son of Beor to curse you, but I would not listen to him. Instead, I made Balaam bless you, and so I rescued you from Balak. “When you crossed the Jordan River and came to Jericho, the men of Jericho fought against you, as did the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. But I gave you victory over them. And I sent terror ahead of you to drive out the two kings of the Amorites. It was not your swords or bows that brought you victory. I gave you land you had not worked on, and I gave you towns you did not build—the towns where you are now living. I gave you vineyards and olive groves for food, though you did not plant them. “So fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly. Put away forever the idols your ancestors worshiped when they lived beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord alone. But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”” Joshua 24 : 2 - 15 NLT
I know it’s long winded!!! But these words have never been more clear for this broken world today!!!! The media is the devil’s device to divide the people, CNN says one party is crushing the other, Fox says another is crushing the other!!! Haven’t we all read the book? Don’t we know who appoints the leaders? Don’t we know who wins in the end? Politics have become a game of the devil’s lies and who can line their pockets the most. Today’s prayer is that we as Christians would stand on the Truth!!! God is not a God of lies and we all know the condition of the world was prophesied long long ago. Stand on your Faith and know that what happens in this world is God;s will and His will only!!!!! Be Blessed and remember there is only one Savior and it is not the President of the United States or any politician or celebrity – It IS GOD!!!
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
“COME TO GOD when you are weak and weary. Rest snugly in GOD’S everlasting arms. You are GOD’S child – HE does not despise your weakness. Actually, it draws GOD closer to you, because weakness stirs up The LORD’S compassion — HIS yearning to help. Accept yourself in your weariness, knowing that GOD understands how difficult your journey has been. Do not compare yourself with others, who seem to skip along their life-paths with ease. Their journeys have been different from yours, and GOD has gifted them with abundant energy. The LORD has gifted you with fragility, providing opportunities for your spirit to blossom in GOD’S Presence. Accept this gift as a sacred treasure: delicate, yet glowing with brilliant Light. Rather than struggling to disguise or deny your weakness, allow GOD to bless you richly through it.”
Scripture
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice. ISAIAH 42 : 3
“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. ISAIAH 54 : 10

Prayer
Prayer: Lord I come to you when I am weak and weary and rest snugly in your everlasting arms. Thank you for my weaknesses because they remind me to depend on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.’” Acts 2 : 28 NIV
Isn’t it nice to know that we serve a God that not only laid out the instruction manual for our lives but also gave us an internal counselor. The Bible directs us on how we are to live and the Holy Spirit convicts us how we should live! Praise God!!! Today’s prayer is that we would be sensitive to not only the Word of God but also the Holy Spirit…….. Be Blessed

“LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE MORE. Relax, remembering that The LORD is GOD with you. GOD crafted you with enormous capacity to know HIM and enjoy HIS Presence. When GOD’S people wear sour faces and walk through their lives with resigned rigidity, The LORD is displeased. When you walk through a day with childlike delight, savoring every blessing, you proclaim your trust in The LORD, your ever-present Shepherd. The more you focus on GOD’S Presence with you, the more fully you can enjoy life. Glorify GOD through your pleasure in HIM. Thus you proclaim The LORD’S Presence to the watching world.”
Scripture
“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 23
