“To You I cry; O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer come to meet You.” Psalm 88:13
As soldiers, we wouldn’t leave home without suiting up for war. We’d be sure we had our marching orders and all the equipment we needed to successfully engage the battles ahead. Though we may not be a conventional warrior, we’ve got conflicts to face throughout the day, struggles we’re not quite sure how to handle. And we will wrestle with situations which will require ingenuity, strength, and wisdom. We should always start our day with God in prayer and commit all its troubles to His hands. Remember all of our battles belong to God. As our Commander, God will always lead us safely to triumph! Live in Your God-given Blessings Today! “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.” Psalm 141:3
Do we say, “I can’t” or “God can”? Do we declare, “I’m not strong enough” or “I can do anything through Him who strengthens me?” Do we proclaim, “It’s impossible’ or “With God everything is possible”? Thinking about what we articulate in our speech, do we focus on our weaknesses or God’s strength? It’s no wonder our speech is negative when we are constantly measuring our burdens against our ability to handle them. When we focus on God, we realize He can handle anything we face. We can either talk ourselves into defeat or call upon God for the victory! Let’s voice our praises to God’s amazing power and perfect wisdom. It’s the surest way to triumph! In His Love, Do All You Can, While You Can, As Long As You Can, To All You Can….Have a Beautifully Blessed Day! “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 NLT
This verse reminds us that today, like every other day, is a cause for celebration. God gives us this day; He fills it with possibilities, and challenges us to use it for His purposes. The day is presented to us fresh and clean at midnight, free of charge, but we must beware: Today is a non-renewable resource – once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. Our responsibility is to use this day in the service of God’s will and according to His commandments. Treasure the time that God has given you. Give Him the glory and praise and thanksgiving that He deserves. Search for hidden possibilities that He has placed along your path. This day is a priceless gift from God, so use it joyfully and encourage others to do likewise. Rejoice and Praise God with your whole Heart! “O land, land, land, hear the word of the Lord.” Jeremiah 22:29
What is absolutely essential for our country and our people to experience revival? First, the Spirit of God must move in a mighty way! Second, we , as His people must open our hearts to hear and respond to the Word of the Lord! Let’s commit to pray together all over the world, so All will open their hearts to the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and the word of God the Father! In His Love, Do All You Can, While You Can, As Long As You Can, To All You Can….Have a Beautifully Blessed Day! Make a plan now to keep a daily appointment with God. The enemy is going to tell you to set it aside, but you must carve out the time. If you’re too busy to meet with the Lord, friend, then you are simply too busy.
