Psalm‬ ‭130:3-4‬

“If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭130:3-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Isn’t it nice to know that the Lord keeps no record of our sin, can you imagine if he did? We would be in a world of trouble. Today’s prayer is that we would walk in obedience to the Lord and his ways, never take advantage of the cross, but take the time daily to thank God for the cross……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

LIVING IN DEPENDENCE ON GOD is the way to enjoy abundant life. – PROVERBS 29 : 25, JOHN 10 : 10

https://youtu.be/FARMzNVuYrg

“LIVING IN DEPENDENCE ON GOD is the way to enjoy abundant life. You are learning to appreciate tough times, because they amplify your awareness of GOD’S Presence. Tasks that you used to dread are becoming rich opportunities to enjoy GOD’S closeness. When you feel tired, you remember that GOD is your Strength; you take pleasure in leaning on HIM. The LORD is pleased by your tendency to turn to HIM more and more frequently, especially when you are alone. When you are with other people, you often lose sight of GOD’S Presence. Your fear of displeasing people puts you in bondage to them, and they become your primary focus. When you realize this has happened, whisper The LORD’S Name; this tiny act of trust brings GOD to the forefront of your consciousness, where HE belongs. As you bask in the blessing of GOD’S nearness, HIS life can flow through you to others.”

Scripture

This is abundant life! Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. PROVERBS 29 : 25

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” JOHN 10 : 10

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to live in dependence on you so that I can enjoy an abundant life, full of peace and joy that Jesus died for me to enjoy. Help me to turn to you more and more frequently this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭30‬:‭5

Anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalms‬ ‭30‬:‭5‬ NLT

Yesterday is gone, whatever issue was the problem has left with it. This Psalm says that God’s favor lasts forever. Today I pray that we would not hold on to the problems of yesterday, and look to the joy of today……Be Blessed

YOU ARE ON THE PATH OF GOD’S choosing. – LUKE 12 : 25 – 26, LUKE 1 : 79

https://youtu.be/CcwFLybC5pw

“YOU ARE ON THE PATH OF GOD’S choosing. There is no randomness about your life. Here and Now comprise the coordinates of your daily life. Most people let their moments slip through their fingers, half-lived. They avoid the present by worrying about the future or longing for a better time and place. They forget that they are creatures who are subject to the limitations of time and space. They forget their Creator, who walks with them only in the present. Every moment is alive with GOD’S glorious Presence, to those whose hearts are intimately connected with HIS. As you give yourself more and more to a life of constant communion with GOD, you will find that you simply have no time for worry. Thus, you are freed to let GOD’S Holy Spirit direct your steps, enabling you to walk along the path of Peace.”

Scripture

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 25 – 26

“. . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79

Prayer

Prayer: Holy Spirit, direct my steps today, lead me down the path of peace. When I start to worry, gently remind me of your promises to take care of me and never leave me. Help me to focus on enjoying the present in the present. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭3‬ NLT

WHEN SOME BASIC NEED IS LACKING—time, energy, money—consider yourself blessed. – JAMES 1 : 2, 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

https://youtu.be/-OGihZdX4PI

“WHEN SOME BASIC NEED IS LACKING—time, energy, money—consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto GOD in unashamed dependence. When you begin a day with inadequate resources, you must concentrate your efforts on the present moment. This is where you are meant to live—in the present; it is the place where GOD always awaits you. Awareness of your inadequacy is a rich blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on The LORD. The truth is that self-sufficiency is a myth perpetuated by pride and temporary success. Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself. Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that GOD’S Power is made perfect in weakness.”

Scripture

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord when I am lacking, help me to rely on you and your sufficient grace. Help me to see trials from your perspective and find joy in any situation. With you, I have all I need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7‬:‭5

Better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool. ‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7‬:‭5‬ NLT

Where are you seeking approval from? The world’s measure? God’s measure? Through life we have been taught right from wrong, if you are living a life that you know does not please God then you can be assured you will have tons of approval from the world’s measure. Today I pray that we all would check where our approval is coming from, the world or God’s word……Be Blessed

LET GOD TEACH YOU THANKFULNESS. – HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29, PSALM 119 : 105

https://youtu.be/TgYm2p0RRss

“LET GOD TEACH YOU THANKFULNESS. Begin by acknowledging that everything—all your possessions and all that you are—belongs to GOD. The dawning of each new day is a gift from The LORD, not to be taken for granted. The earth is vibrantly alive with GOD’S blessings, giving vivid testimony to HIS Presence. If you slow down your pace of life, you can find GOD anywhere. Some of The LORD’S most precious children have been laid aside in sick beds or shut away in prisons. Others have voluntarily learned the discipline of spending time alone with GOD. The secret of being thankful is learning to see everything from The LORD’S perspective. GOD’S world is your classroom. GOD’S Word is a lamp to your feet and a light for your path.”

Scripture

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. PSALM 119 : 105

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to slow down my pace of life so I can find you everywhere. Help me to draw close to you so I can see things from your perspective and find your beauty and blessings all around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:3‬

“But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.” 2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you ever feel like everything you do becomes a disaster? Do you feel like when you try to do good it seems it turns out bad? Well that is the work of the devil. This scripture reminds us that God always has our back when we are doing things that show his love, and that is when the devil shows up the most. Today’s prayer is that we would always remember who has our back, God Almighty…….Be Blessed

Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ NLT

Has someone or something taken your joy? Well it’s temporary. Joy in things of the world will at some point leave you wanting something more, something bigger, but joy in the Lord our one true hope will never leave us craving more. Today I pray that whatever brings you joy would be put aside and your true joy would come from the Lord…..Be Blessed
