PREPARE YOUR HEART

This morning I prepared my heart for the day...I began it in GOD'S WORD. I read that if I belong to CHRIST ,HE dwells in me by HIS Holy Spirit. So again I have to prepare my heart and mind each day for the LORD. How can I know which way to go? How will I know which path to take if my eyes are not fixed on HIM? In JOHN 1:1 it says , "In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD and the WORD was GOD." Sooooo I say to continually know GOD we must seek HIM in HIS WORD. How does your day go when you do not seek HIM in HIS WORD? I can honestly say I need HIS WORD to encourage, comfort and sustain me! HIS WORD gives me the courage to live a life of victory in CHRIST JESUS! So in the beginning of your day, begin with the WORD! HIS WORD! If we are the dwelling place for the Holy Spirit, what better way but to feast on the WORD of GOD and fill our minds and hearts with HIS truth. Let us nourish our hearts with the faithfulness of GOD ! HE has given us a glimpse of HIS heart in HIS WORD......HE loves us and will not forsake us and HE is faithful to finish the work HE began in us! What an amazing GOD we serve!

HE IS FAITHFUL !

Just wonderin'....if you are as thankful as I am for the sunrise today? For that matter. what about those flowers...the birds songs....that smile...the breeze....family...friends....children.....hugs....chocolate! You know there is going to be chocolate in heaven! There has to be!
what about each breath we take....every step we are able to take....our sight...all that we hear? GOD is in every part of our life. HE is in control of all things. All HE asks is that we would trust and obey. Trust is the first step.......it is easier to obey when we trust. Do you trust that there will be a sunrise tomorrow? What a beautiful gift from GOD to be thankful for! HIS faithfulness!

HIS MANNA

How thankful I am for each day! GOD is good! HE provides eactly what we need every day. It is only when we like the grumbling Israelites in EXODUS complain,that HE may give us what we ask for.....but is that what we need? Is it GOD'S will for us? Will it be a blessing or a curse? Will we choke on it as they choked on the quail? So we have to ask ourselves ....is GOD'S WORD enough for us? Is HIS manna all we need...daily? HIS MANNA will nourish us and strengthen us! All we have to do is open HIS WORD and read about HIS promises to see love and provision for us. HIS love and provision! Let HIS MANNA be enough! GOD BLESS!

TRUST

Have you been trying to please GOD? Working your way into HIS heart? When you have JESUS as your SAVIOR ...the work has already been done! All you have to do is trust GOD! Trust WHO HE says HE is...trust what HE says about you! You must ask yourself...do I believe GOD? You must ask yourself...do I believe GOD'S WORD? If you do believe GOD'S WORD is truth then you have to believe that you are HIS child and that you no longer need to work to please GOD. GOD loves you! You are HIS! Trust HIM to complete the work that HE started in you! GOD BLESS YOU!

FEAR

We all live in a world where fear can consume us. All we have to do is turn on the tv or radio. If we read the newspaper, well there we are! Another tragedy! I wonder if we would open GOD'S WORD more,myself included ...we would be as haunted by the terrors of the day? Are we trusting in a GOD that loves us? Are we turning to a SAVIOR that died for us when we let circumstances fill us with fear!? How can we not worry or be afraid or tremble? We have to ask ourselves...is GOD real? We then have to ask ourselves....does GOD love me? Then in faith we have to trust in the LIVING GOD in heaven, who came to earth and became flesh so that we would have salvation in HIM. JESUS CHRIST.LOVING...SAVIOR....COMPASSIONATE...MERCIFUL...ETERNAL...HOLY....FAITHFUL...TRUE....EVER WITH US...IMMANUEL....GOD WITH US! Let our hearts invite this wonderful LORD of ours in...and let us trust in HIM alone.

I CHOOSE TRUST!

When we trust GOD we allow HIM to work in our lives! We are not perfect....guess what? HE knows! JESUS came to earth for just this reason! When we accept HIM as our LORD and SAVIOR it is HIS righteousness that lives in us. We are HIS! We are saints. Not because anything we did, but what HE accomplished on the CROSS! When we trust in HIM..it is CHRIST who works out in us who HE has chosen us to be from before the beginning of creation! Because HE loves us! All we have to do is trust in JESUS CHRIST! MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH HIS TRUTH!

THE GARDEN

Have you ever read in GOD'S WORD how GOD came into the Garden of Eden? GOD HIMSELF walked in the Garden! HE was looking for Adam and Eve! HE seeks a relationship with us as HE did with them! The question is ,"Are you willing to come to HIM?"
Adam and Eve had it all! GOD had given them a place to live that was abundant in all they would ever need! They had GOD'S presence! They had a place to tend....food to eat....warmth...sunlight...shelter.GOD had given them all the animals and creation. All the beauty of creation surrounded them.....yet it wasn't enough! The mistake they made was to NOT trust GOD......with all that they had.....they still fell to their own wisdom instead of believing GOD! Instead of believing what GOD said ; they chose to believe a lie........what do you choose?
