“REST IN GOD’S RADIANT PRESENCE. The world around you seems to spin faster and faster, till everything is a blur. Yet there is a cushion of calm at the center of your life, where you live in union with GOD. Return to this soothing Center as often as you can, for this is where you are energized: filled with The LORD’S Love, Joy, and Peace. The world is a needy place; do not go there for sustenance. Instead, come to The LORD. Learn to depend on GOD alone, and your weakness will become saturated with GOD’S Power. When you find your completeness in GOD, you can help other people without using them to meet your own needs. Live in the Light of GOD’S Presence, and your light will shine brightly into the lives of others.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. GALATIANS 5 : 22

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 JOHN 4 : 12

Prayer: Lord help me to stay close to you today. More aware of your presence with me at all times. Let your light shine brightly through me into the life of others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. (‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ NLT)

Sometimes it seems like the attacks are never ending, we are surrounded by evil all day every day, but in this scripture Paul writes take heart God will deliver us from all evil. Gods plan for us is not to suffer but to have peace and joy knowing what awaits us when this life is done. Today I pray that we would all meditate on this scripture and know that we serve a all loving, caring, and protecting God…….Be Blessed

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:3-7‬

“Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them. And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules. And hardworking farmers should be the first to enjoy the fruit of their labor. Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:3-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Paul speaks of relying on Jesus for strength and knowledge. Are you trying to follow the rules of the world standard or the knowledgeable ways of the Lord to win your race? Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for the knowledge to run our race in a way that will please God………Be Blessed

“CONTINUE ON THIS PATH WITH GOD, enjoying GOD’S Presence even in adversity. The LORD is always before you, as well as alongside you. See GOD beckoning to you: “Come! Follow Me”. GOD who goes ahead of you, opening up the way, is the same One who stays close and never lets go of your hand. GOD is not subject to limitations of time or space. GOD is everywhere at every time, ceaselessly working on your behalf. That is why your best efforts are trusting GOD and living close to GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. HEBREWS 7 : 25

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 3 – 4

Prayer: God thank you for going before me as well as coming alongside me. Thank you for always working on my behalf. Even when I don’t see it, your working. I trust you wholeheartedly Lord. Keep me close to you today, where I am safest. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Mark 8:34 – 35

When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. (Mark 8:34- 35 NKJV)

Losing your life to save it is the best decision we ever made, getting rid of the old sinful nature brings us eternal life. Today look through whatever trial comes your way and look to the eternal life we have in heaven. Take up your cross and rejoice in the end we win……..Be Blessed

“MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE. Though many things feel random and wrong, remember that GOD is sovereign over everything. GOD can fit everything into a pattern for good, but only to the extent that you trust HIM. Every problem can teach you something, transforming you little by little into the masterpiece The LORD created you to be. The very same problem can become a stumbling block over which you fall, if you react with distrust and defiance. The choice is up to you, and you will have to choose many times each day whether to trust GOD or defy GOD. The best way to befriend your problems is to thank GOD for them. This simple act opens your mind to the possibility of benefits flowing from your difficulties. You can even give persistent problems nicknames, helping you to approach them with familiarity rather than with dread. The next step is to introduce them to GOD, enabling The LORD to embrace them in HIS loving Presence. GOD will not necessarily remove your problems, but GOD’S wisdom is sufficient to bring good out of every one of them.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28

But we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 CORINTHIANS 1 : 23 – 24

Prayer: God thank you for fitting everything into a pattern for good. Open my eyes and heart to see the good you have planned in advance for me today. Some big, and many small treasures waiting to be discovered today. A blue sky, wildflowers, a kind word. Thank you in advance Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
