Surrender...🙏🌿🌼💞🕊

When we let everything go, surrender everything and count ourselves as having nothing, then what? Then what will we have? “All things.” Then they cannot take anything away from us; the people who are in that condition, nothing can be taken from them. How is that so?  They cannot take power from us, can they? They cannot take the character from us. They can take earthly reputation, but not our character in Christ.   They cannot take our riches from us; and they cannot take our life from us; for Christ is our life, and they cannot take Him from us. So when we are in this position we have the victory over the world and all its power, to start with.

Therefore preach that gospel, that mystery of God; and what is that?—“Christ in you the hope of glory”; “Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God;” “The unsearchable riches of God.” “Christ and him crucified.” That is what it was; nothing but that.

Who Has Your Hope...🙏🌿🌼💞🕊

Where do you place your hope—your real hope. If you are honest, you will realize how much hope is placed in things other than God.

We want financial security. We are obsessed with people’s opinions of us....our reputation. Put bluntly, we have an idol problem.

Whoever has your hope, has your heart.   Wherever we trust for ultimate happiness and satisfaction is where we place our hope. And whatever we place our hope in, has true control of our heart.

Today’s verses are a prayer from David—and he’s expressing this same sentiment when he asks God to “unite” his heart to fear God’s name.

David, like so many of us, was a man who struggled with a divided heart. Even though he was a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22) his affections wandered.

That’s the crux, isn’t it?

Every Sabbath we sing songs that agree with verse 10: “For You are great and do wondrous things; You alone are God.” Then on Sunday our hope wanders from the One who is “God alone” and trusts in so many other things. So many idols.

Remember what God said about idols in Isaiah 44:20b? The people “have no knowledge who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that cannot save.”

And what are David’s words? “Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth…”

Idols lie—they simply can't deliver on their promises.

So, for anything that has your deepest hope, ask yourself these questions:

Will this satisfy my heart, or is it lying to me?

Can this save my soul, or will it leave me empty?

Can this heal my marriage, or will it destroy?

Would I be happy if my children and grandchildren embraced this?

So, who has your hope and your heart today? Pray with David for a united heart.

The Waiting Period...🙏🌿🌼💞🕊

Today's Word:

While you’re waiting for God to answer your prayers or see a promise fulfilled, there will be plenty of tests. When it’s taking a long time, it’s because what God has for you is going to be better than you thought, more rewarding, more fulfilling. Don’t despise the waiting period. God knows what’s best for us. Sometimes we’re waiting because another person who’s involved is not ready. Or we’re waiting because God is getting us prepared to handle the weight of blessing. It’s going to be a big blessing, but it’s going to require greater maturity, greater strength of character. 

We all want everything fast, but God knows when the right time is. You have to trust God’s timing. If it hasn’t happened yet, it hasn’t been the right time. But when God is ready, all the forces of darkness cannot hold Him back. The key is patient believing when every circumstance says there’s no way. When you do that, God says you will receive all that He promised—not some of it, not most of it, but the fullness of the blessing.

Prayer For Today:

Father, thank You for another beautiful sunrise. Thank You for Your grace which is every breath I take. No matter what I face today with Your help, I know I will be able to survive, overcome and win. Thank You that Your power to strengthen me in times of difficulty is greater than the greatest force that can ever come against me. Thank You that I can patiently believe through the waiting periods. I believe that I am more than a conqueror and will overcome this. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Help In Daily Living...🙏🌿🌼💞🕊

So long as we are in the world, we shall meet with adverse influences. There will be provocations to test the temper; and it is by meeting these in a right spirit that the Christian graces are developed. If Christ dwells in us, we shall be patient, kind, and forbearing, cheerful amid frets and irritations. Day by day and year by year we shall conquer self, and grow into a noble heroism. This is our allotted task; but it cannot be accomplished without help from Jesus, resolute decision, unwavering purpose, continual watchfulness, and unceasing prayer. Each one has a personal battle to fight. Not even God can make our characters noble or our lives useful, unless we become co-workers with Him. Those who decline the struggle lose the strength and joy of victory. -Help In Daily Living pg 28

Defeating Our Goliaths...🙏🌿🌼💞🕊

Today’s Word:

David faced what appeared to be an insurmountable problem, but he was victorious through God’s power. We can be, too. David declared victory over Goliath before the battle even began (v. 46). His confidence was rooted in his past experiences with the Lord. What’s more, David believed triumph was certain because he came in the name of the Lord.

David had practical faith habits. A strong relationship with the Lord developed from spending time in His presence. This in turn enabled David to face problems with certainty that he was a beloved child of God, with full access to his Father’s storehouses of power, courage, and wisdom. If doubts ever arose, he could look back on God’s great faithfulness in past troubles.

To be victorious, we should practice David’s spiritual habits. Spend time with God and keep a record of His work in your life. Then you can be confident that He is sufficient, no matter the obstacle.

Today’s Prayer:

Father, thank You for this beautiful day with its endless opportunities and blessings. Grant us the strength to stand firm in Your name, knowing that the battles we face are ultimately Yours. May we trust in Your deliverance and proclaim Your glory through our victories. In Jesus' Name Amen.

What Limit?!...🙏🌿🌼💞🕊

Every morning in the desert, God provided the two million Israelites with manna, something like bread, but the people bitterly complained that they wanted meat. God was angered by their complaining, but He told Moses that He would give the people meat, not for a day, but for a whole month. Moses said that was completely impossible, but God answered, “Is there any limit to My power?” 

The Scripture says, “God shifted the wind and caused hundreds of thousands of quail to come in from the sea. For miles in every direction there were quail flying about three feet above the ground.” They were awestruck by what God had done. God is about to shift the winds to blow in your direction. He’s going to cause the quail to come looking for you. You couldn’t have made it happen. You didn’t have the connections, the experience, or the background. But you’ve kept God first place. You’ve been faithful and honored Him. Now He’s going to cause a shift from borrowing to lending, from renting to owning, from not enough to more than enough.  Walk in Faith!

Prayer For Today:

Father, thank You for this beautiful and blessed day. I trust in Your limitless power and faithfulness. Just as You provided for the Israelites, I know You will provide for me. Shift the winds in my favor, Lord—move me from lack to abundance, from struggle to breakthrough. I choose to keep You first and trust in Your perfect timing. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

The Power Of "YET"...🙏🌿🌼💞🕊

Have you experienced times in your life where you can’t feel God’s presence? When the worst happens in our lives, while we do our best to cling to our faith, it’s easy to question God. Where is He when a loved one dies far too young? Where is God in divorce, disease and death? Where is He when war rages? These are age-old questions humans have struggled with for centuries, and questions we can easily ask today. It seems as if the world is on the brink of disaster, so we are left searching for God through all of it.

Habakkuk wrote his prophecy at a time when he and God’s people were asking the same questions. The Babylonians were preparing to invade Judah where the remnant of God’s people remained. This was a direct judgment from the Lord, for they had experienced rapid moral and spiritually decline. Habakkuk complains against God, not understanding how he could use a downright wicked nation in Babylon to judge a less wicked one in Judah. But, we know that God’s ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).

The Lord answers Habakkuk and reminds him that He is a God of justice and mercy and that the righteous have to live by faith (2:4) and trust Him. Habakkuk’s ultimate summary is that no matter what comes, he will choose joy and trust God. Though the world seems to crumble,  *YET*  he will rejoice in the Lord.

What are you going through today? Does it seem like your world is falling apart? Know this: you don’t choose what you go through, but you can choose how you go through it. Choose joy, and know that God is good, just and merciful. No matter what you face, you can choose to say, *YET*, I will rejoice in the Lord…the God of my salvation.”
