For The Moment…107

Sometimes, our minds grow stale, and we get tired. Not that we do not love the Lord, but we truly do.

Routine can be mundane, unevenly, and, at times, boring.

We need revival in our spirits. We need to zip up our hearts and feel that love and commitment surging through our veins again.

The only way we can get that is through prayer. Our deeds are not enough, but our hearts need to be engaged with the Lord. In close contact with praying and diving into his word is the way.  A special shout out to the Lord who doesn’t hold anything from us.

Revive us, oh Lord.

So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. Psalm 80 verse 18.

Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Matt 7 verse 7

We can approach the throne of grace with all boldness.

We can call on the name of the Lord.

We can come before God and ask anything in the name of his son, Jesus Christ, and it will be given unto us.

And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man saying, we will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name , to take away our reproach. Isaiah 4 verse 1.

A true marriage of convenience. This is a prophesy from ancient times, and it fits so well in today’s modern society.

It is good to be strong and not to be dependent on people. Our dependence should be on God, not on a man or anyone, but God is our resource.

He provides people to help us in our time of need. He prepares a path for us to walk where we encounter many folks to help us and to be there for us. We are never alone.

We can be self-sufficient, but we need to call upon the Lord for our needs.

For The Moment…102

I seek the Lord for his word is sweet.

I trust the Lord, for he is good and true.

He is the source of all my blessings. Everything that I have and everything that I am, I owe it all to the Lord.

He provides for all my needs even before I know what to ask for. I call on his name in my day of trouble.

I call on his name when I am lost.

I call upon his name when I have a song on my lips.

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils. Isaiah 2 verse 22.

For The Moment…101

Looking in the mirror, you don’t like what you see convincing yourself that your so-called flaws are ugly.

What is your beauty standard? Who made it up?

Beauty shines from the inside out. It is something that can not hide. It should be appreciated and praised. It can be seen by the eyes of the beholder. 

Next time when you want to bring yourself down because others can not see the beauty that shines from your soul, remember you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Psalm 139 verses 13 and 14.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 

He was their guide, and He gave them protection.

He brought streams out of the rock and caused waters to run down like rivers.

When they were thirsty and faint, he gave them water to drink.

And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

They kept on the path of sin even when they saw how God took care of them.

Yea, they spake against God; they said, “Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?”

Ungrateful heart and slow to understand the love of God. He takes care of us because we are His children. Yet we are so undeserving of his love.

Adapted from Psalm 78 verse 14 to 19.

For The Moment…97

But if thou shalt indeed oney his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. Exodus 23 verse 22.

He will be your protector.

When the enemy comes up against you, he will fight for you.

God, the creator, your Father, who loves you, will prepare provision for you in the day to trouble.

You have divine protection surrounding you.

Fear not he is with you. Abide in  him, and truly, he will never forsake you in the name of Jesus.

As a child of God, you are covered by the blood of God’s only began son. In the name of Jesus, you walk in peace.

For The Moment…94

Come now and let us reason together saith the Lord. Isaiah 1 verse 18.

This is so wonderful. God the creator of all things. The One who called into existence those things that never existed. He made life where their was no life.

This same God throws out an invitation for all to see. He bids us to come and talk with him.

Amazing.

Come and we can talk.

He is a good God.

A faithful God.

For The Moment…90

O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever?

Psalm 74 verse 10.

We live in a society where God is not the center and is therefore not important. Every day, we move among people who have no regard for the things of the Lord. There are religions that seek peace and give instructions on how to live in peace, but they do not know the true and living God. Their words will not last forever.

The answers to life lie in the word of God. Yet, no one opens the Book of books to read. If they did, they would learn the truth.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promises. Soon, he will put all things right. He will be the one all the earth will praise. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall  confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

For The Moment…89

I was envious of the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

Psalm 73 verses 3 and 17.

Don’t look at what others have. Concentrate on your own life.

The grass is never greener on the other side it just looks that way.

Live a life pleasing to the Lord, and everything will fall into place.

The wicked and the foolish will get their own just rewards.
