“The Lord bless you and keep you;the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you;the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26
I pray this blessing over you today and every day.
Walk in His grace and blessing in your life in Jesus’ name.
Sometimes just having something confirmed is reassuring even if the information itself is not necessarily positive.
To fight effectively you must know your enemy. It is the art of war. Know your enemy before you engage. More importantly, know where your strength lies.
For it is written:
“The thief [enemy] comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
Jesus
John 10:10
Your victory lies in the One who is victorious over every enemy that would come against you. Your victory lies in Jesus Christ!
People will always disappoint. Even the most well-meaning among us will let others down at times. We strive for perfection but alas we are human.
Do your best in relationship with others. Forgive fully and move forward.
But remember, there is One Who can be counted on all the time.
Diligently seek your relationship with the Lord. Put your trust in Him.
For it is written:
“Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.””
The key is really where you sit every single day. Spend time sitting at the feet of Jesus as in the end this is the most important seat in the house.
Sitting at His feet will change you. Sitting at His feet will renew your mind. Sitting at His feet will direct you to the narrow road which leads to everlasting life.
For it is written:
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Each day is a gift. God in His goodness ushers in renewal every day. Do not look back.
Walk in the new. Look for the renewal. Speak new life into your situation.
Do not miss the new because you are ruminating over the old.
For it is written:
“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
Instead of constantly talking about and complaining about someone, take the time to pray for them.
Let the Holy Spirit soften your heart to cover them in prayer. Bless them. Sincerely believe for God’s direction and help in their life.
For, we are all human. Not one of us is perfect. Often, what bothers us about another is something we ourselves find challenging even if subconsciously. There but for the grace of God we would manifest the very same actions. Pray for those who upset you. Pray for those who spitefully use you. Pray for those who…
Maturity is not a given with numerical age. Wisdom is not necessarily something that comes with the passage of years. To grow beyond yourself is surely a start.
See the needs of others. Be a blessing.
Instead of chasing after things, seek the Lord’s wisdom for your life. Let Him work in you and through you for the glory of His Kingdom “for such a time as this!”
For it is written:
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, Who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
God does not forget His promises. They are Yes and Amen!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to hold fast to the profession of your faith. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to believe without doubt. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to trust Him despite what you may see around you.
The Kingdom of God operates quite differently from the natural flow of things. What looks like mission impossible in the natural is totally possible with God!
Life is a journey. Some places are just stop-overs. Some require a longer stay. And some are of a more permanent nature.
Whatever your situation, make the most of it. Seek the beauty. Enjoy the scenery.
Each situation brings its own lessons. Grow from them. Let them make you a better person. Let Christ be your strength.
For it is written:
“Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and
