This Is The Day The Lord Has Made!

This Is The Day The Lord Has Made!

Today this was all one could see looking outside through the patio doors.  Freezing rain had arrived and one can hear its pitter patter on the still frozen window pane.  It is a day of reflection! One to spend indoors and just spend time with my Heavenly Father.  Truly we do need days of quiet reflection to take time aside from the busy bustle of life and ponder afresh the wonders of our God. It rains on the just and the unjust.  Perhaps it is our perception of it that is the key point today.

We can either complain or rejoice in the things that come our way, knowing God is ever present with His children.  Whatever kind of day you are having, whatever the weather outside, come aside with Him and ponder  the wonders and the goodness of our God.  Thank you Jesus for this new day! ²⁴This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Jesus Is Our Reason For Living!

FROM ABBA'S HEART TO OURS


Jesus Is Our Reason For Living!

Today many are tired and needing refreshing that can only come from our Heavenly Father.  It has snowed outside, and there is a fine powdered snow on the ground and roof tops are slightly covered in our town.  It is cold and we are reminded that there is more yet to come.  Winter is here and grace is needed to go through.  Yet, one can be grateful to Father to be able to be home and somewhat protected from the outside world.  As we are outside at times, we see outdoor workers digging in the street perhaps on a broken water main and I am ever reminded how thankful  I am to be indoors.

That said, there are many suffering in this season due to lack in their life.  Many suffering because of their cold spiritual condition and many suffering because of the cause of Christ. We need Jesus to be our reason for living.  He alone is our help in this time of trouble.

Lord strengthen us today to be all we are called to be in Christ.  Strengthen that which remains.  In this natural winter season strengthen us and refresh us but let us remember that in the Spirit we may not be in a winter season and need to be busy about the work of the Kingdom.  Plainly the Kingdom of God is within us and it cannot get rain, or snowed upon.  Let us abound in the work of the Lord.

Give us wisdom to schedule our lives with time at your feet so that life is worthwhile.  Plainly it is too much to face on our own.  Let our prayer be, "Lord we are your creation and the work of your hands.  Help us today to look past our weaknesses and see your strength for you are a very present help in time of trouble.  Help us to lean heavily on your grace today, in Jesus name".

  ²²While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22 (AMP)
   

Walk As That Overcomer

^{FROM GOD'S HEART TO YOURS}

^{WALK AS THAT OVERCOMER}

¹⁸And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  Matt. 16:18

We have seen much onslaught against the church, but she is a living breathing epistle that will not be defeated.  Christ is building His church and the gates of hell will not prevail against her.  She shall overcome all obstacles and though there are yet many hurtles to overcome, she will do so.  The body of Christ will be triumphant against all the onslaught of the enemy.

God has called you to walk as an overcomer in Him.  You will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of your testimony.  Do not be discouraged because there are many obstacles set in your path but overcome them one at a time.  Wage war and win.  You are an overcomer and can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.  Faith is the victory that overcomes the world and you are indeed that overcomer.  Walk in holiness before me and overcome.

Thankful Hearts!

FROM GOD'S HEART TO YOURS

THANKFUL HEARTS!

God is looking for hearts that are thankful. Are you thankful for all the Lord has done in your life? Does Father God look at you and see a grateful child? The food on your table and even the shoes on your feet can be taken for granted. Let us ask the Lord for a thankful heart that rejoices in all the Lord has done. 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:4-7 (NASB)

He Will Never Forsake Or Leave You!

FROM ABBA'S HEART TO OURS

HE WILL NEVER FORSAKE OR LEAVE YOU!

Today I am seeing the faithfulness of God. He hears and answers prayer. He does above all we could ever ask or hope for and He takes care of His own. Let us become rooted and grounded in His Word so that we will not be moved with all the shaking that is going on. Let us be steadfast and always abounding in the work of the Lord for we know that He will never forsake or leave us. Call on Him today and He will answer you and remember that it will always be in keeping with, His Word.

¹¹ So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. Isa. 55:11 (NKJV)

A New Song In Your Heart

FROM GOD'S HEART TO YOURS

A NEW SONG IN YOUR HEART

Last evening as I was preparing to sleep the Lord put a simple song in my heart.  He had me sing it out loud.

Eye has not seen,

ear has not heard,

the things God's prepared

for those that He loves.

God has not forgotten you though man has forgotten God days without number.  Do not give up!  Do not be discouraged!  Father God sees all that you are going through and His plan is to give you a future and a hope. Begin to praise Him today and ask Him to put a new song in your heart.

Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say, rejoice. In praising Him you will find your way to complete victory for faith is the victory that overcomes the world.   

                                                                                                           

⁹ But as it is written: “ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”  ¹⁰ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. (NKJV)

Be Encouraged Today!

FROM GOD'S HEART TO YOURS

BE ENCOURAGED TODAY!

There are times that one needs to just go forward like a bulldozer and not stop. The enemy comes with all manner of things to bring discouragement and to try and prevent the Word of God from going forth but you must not be disheartened. David encouraged himself in the Lord and you must do the same. You would not have opposition, even from those that call themselves believers if you were not doing right. The opposition is because you are taking ground. Do the right thing even when it is difficult to do so and God will honour your taking the high road. Begin to praise the Lord and you will see the opposition lift and new joy come into your heart and situation!

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (NKJV)
