He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” Revelation 21:4 NLT
Circumstances can seem so bad that you feel they will never end, well there is good news and this scripture explains it. The world will bring heartache and trials but when it’s over all that will cease!!!!! Today I pray that we would all see through the troubles to the solution Jesus!!! That day will come where all is at peace and joy……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
“THANK GOD for the very things that are troubling you. You are on the brink of rebellion, precariously close to shaking your fist in GOD’S Face. You are tempted to indulge in just a little complaining about The LORD’S treatment of you. But once you step over that line, torrents of rage and self-pity can sweep you away. The best protection against this indulgence is thanksgiving. It is impossible to thank GOD and curse HIM at the same time. Thanking GOD for trials will feel awkward and contrived at first. But if you persist, your thankful words, prayed in faith, will eventually make a difference in your heart. Thankfulness awakens you to GOD’S Presence, which overshadows all your problems.”
I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD. PSALM 116 : 17 (NKJV)
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 4 – 6
Prayer: Lord teach me to thank you in the highs and the lows of life. Jesus you told us in this life we will have trouble, but you also promise to use everything for the good of those who love you. So no matter what happens in the future, I will love and trust you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“WAIT PATIENTLY WITH GOD while HE blesses you. Don’t rush into GOD’S Presence with time-consciousness gnawing at your mind. GOD dwells in timelessness: GOD is, GOD was, GOD will always be. For you, time is a protection; you’re a frail creature who can handle only twenty-four-hour segments of life. Time can also be a tyrant, ticking away relentlessly in your mind. Learn to master time, or it will be your master. Though you are a time-bound creature, seek to meet GOD in timelessness. As you focus on GOD’S Presence, the demands of time and tasks will diminish. GOD will bless you and keep you, making GOD’S Face shine upon you graciously, giving you Peace.”
But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. MICAH 7 : 7
“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
“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” NUMBERS 6 : 24 – 26
Prayer: Lord help me not to rush into your presence. To enjoy just sitting with you as you fill me with peace. Thank you for your goodness and faithfulness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3:19 NLT
Sometimes we let the circumstances defeat us, we feel like the whole world is against us!!!! Take heart and know the God who loves us and saved us from eternal hell. God’s plans for us are to prosper and excel, not live defeated in a broken world…..today I pray that all would understand the love that God has for each and every one of us, he is always with us to see us through the trials……..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 SPEAKS TO YOU CONTINUALLY. GOD’S nature is to communicate, though not always in words. GOD flings glorious sunsets across the sky, day after day after day. GOD speaks in the faces and voices of loved ones. GOD caresses you with a gentle breeze that refreshes and delights you. The LORD speaks softly in the depths of your spirit, where HE has taken up residence. You can find GOD in each moment, when you have eyes that see and ears that hear. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to sharpen your spiritual eyesight and hearing. GOD rejoices each time you discover HIS Presence. Practice looking and listening for The LORD during quiet intervals. Gradually you will find The LORD in more and more of your moments. You will seek GOD and find HIM, when you seek GOD above all else.”
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? PSALM 8 : 1 – 4
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. PSALM 19 : 1 – 2
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13
Prayer: God who am I that you would speak to me continually? Sharpen my spiritual eyes and hearing to see and hear you in each moment. Help me to search for you like hidden treasure. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. John 16:8 NLT
The Holy Spirit came to convict the world of its sin, before we were believers the Spirit worked on us in the same way. As believers the Holy Spirit does not convict us of our sin but of our righteousness!!! He tells us that’s not who we are when we sin, as The Spirit convicts the non believers of their sin and shows them the way. Today I pray that we would be used as a instrument of the spirit to win souls for the Lord…..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
“For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.” John 3:16 GNT
Our Heavenly Father loves us so much this is the sacrifice he made, I am blessed to have had an earthly Father that I believe would have made the same sacrifice. Today is Father’s Day, a day to celebrate your Father, some have gone home and some have never been a part of your life but God has always been there and always will. Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there have a Blessed day
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
“I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.” John 13:15-17 NIV
This scripture is a great reminder of how I always want to be, I have always prided myself on leading by example and not by dictatorship and I believe this is what Jesus is talking about here. Today’s prayer is that we would all put this scripture into place in our lives and please our Lord more and more
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 LAUGH at yourself more freely. Don’t take yourself or your circumstances so seriously. Relax and know that God is with you. When you desire GOD’S will above all else, life becomes much less threatening. Stop trying to monitor GOD’S responsibilities—things that are beyond your control. Find freedom by accepting the boundaries of your domain. Laughter lightens your load and lifts your heart into heavenly places. Your laughter rises to heaven and blends with angelic melodies of praise. Just as parents delight in the laughter of their children, so GOD delight in hearing HIS children laugh. GOD rejoices when you trust HIM enough to enjoy your life lightheartedly. Do not miss the Joy of The LORD’S Presence by carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Rather, take GOD’S yoke upon you and learn from HIM. GOD’S yoke is comfortable and pleasant; GOD’S burden is light and easily borne.”
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17 : 22
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. PROVERBS 31 : 25
“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
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30
Prayer: Lord help me to enjoy life lightheartedly and trust you with the rest. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”” James 4:4-6 NIV
How do you view yourself proud or humble? Do you always have to take credit for something you have done or give God the glory in all? This scripture says He opposes the proud!!! Do not misunderstand this. Read deep, to hold yourself as a proud person in God is one thing but to take credit in all you accomplish is not. Today’s prayer is we would ask the Holy Spirit to guide our actions, and then we can examine if they line up with making God proud……Be Blessed
