Daily Devotional In Christ

As I do my daily morning study of God’s Word, I find out alot about myself. I am that sinner he points out that deserves death. I am the hypocrite at times spoken about. I am that one who sometimes doesn’t hold his tongue when he should. I am that one who can’t turn his cheek when struck and insulted, especially for what I believe. I am that one who lacks love for others at times.
Yes, God tells me all these things but he also tells me how his Son, Jesus, was sent down from heaven to be the ONLY bridge from certain death to eternal salvation in his heavenly Kingdom by his grace, his free grace, given to us all, if we so choose to accept and change our lives from the world to him. Jesus gives us hope and he makes us “presentable” to his father by his blood shed on the cross.
My life has been changed since I embraced Christ and established a real intimate relationship with him. I am on a lifelong journey knowing more and more about him every day by studying his Word and daily prayer. He has pointed out my weaknesses and he is changing/molding me into a better Christian. My salvation is assured, this I know. I give my shortcomings to him, and I know he is walking by my side in my walk with him. Turning to Christ doesn’t make one sinless. But when we allow Christ into our hearts, he shows us the way out of sin and sin no longer controls us. He leaves us with his Holy Spirit to strengthen and guide us every single day.
As I continue to grow, I will share what I’m shown through his Word, for he commands us to.
Are you ready to embrace Christ? Tomorrow is promised to no one…

“REST IN GOD’S PRESENCE, allowing GOD to take charge of this day. Do not bolt into the day like a racehorse suddenly released. Instead, walk purposefully with GOD, letting The LORD direct your course one step at a time. Thank GOD for each blessing along the way; this brings Joy to both you and GOD. A grateful heart protects you from negative thinking. Thankfulness enables you to see the abundance The LORD showers upon you daily. Your prayers and petitions are winged into heaven’s throne room when they are permeated with thanksgiving. In everything give thanks, for this is GOD’S will for you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18 (NKJV)

Prayer: God everything in this world tells me to do more like Martha. But you tell me to rest in you. To sit at your feet like Mary did. I’m so grateful to have a Father who encourages me to rest and be restored in Him each day. Help me to obey. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“BE STILL IN THE LIGHT of GOD’S Presence, while GOD communicates Love to you. There is no force in the universe as powerful as GOD’S Love. You are constantly aware of limitations: your own and others’. But there is no limit to GOD’S Love; it fills all of space, time, and eternity. Now you see through a glass, darkly, but someday you will see GOD face to Face. Then you will be able to experience fully how wide and long and high and deep is GOD’S Love for you. If you were to experience that now, you would be overwhelmed to the point of feeling crushed. But you have an eternity ahead of you, absolutely guaranteed, during which you can enjoy GOD’S Presence in unrestricted ecstasy. For now, the knowledge of GOD’S loving Presence is sufficient to carry you through each day.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12 (KJV)

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19

Prayer: God thank you for your unconditional love. Break my heart for what breaks yours. Give me a heart to see and ears to hear what you want me to think, say and do today. And may it all be for your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge. (Proverbs 23:12 NKJV)

Have you ever heard that small voice tell you ” don’t do that” that’s the spirit trying to guide you. Have you heard something that you know is right but you do the complete opposite? This scripture is telling us to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, he was given to us as a guide and protector. Today I pray we all would listen to that small voice, even if we don’t understand it…..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
