Past Behavior May 19

 

        Let go of the past. Jesus has forgiven, blotted out your past. All is healed. Why pick it up again?  When you travel on a journey, you do not go back to each place and dwell upon where each place takes you to get to the next place. The present moves to the future so each day heavenly Father helps you live anew. Whether triumph or failure, let the past go. Anticipate with faith the present. Dwell upon the prayer of the Now and move forward. Who will you meet today that needs help?...maybe just you or some person you see every day. What shall you and the Holy Spirit do together today to honor the heavenly Father? “…Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…”

Prayer: Lord, keep us aware to find ways to live correctly in the now-future. 

 

 

 

 

Listen May 18

        The right word, clearly spoken on God’s behalf, promotes a good thing. But today…. listen someone into forgiveness, allow time for clarification; you might listen someone into health. Listen to their pain, their anguish, their frustration, all their underneath meanings without you trying to give any answer or correction. Hear their story.  Let them know you really do hear. Do this in the name of your Lord. Remember, words are the avenue to define relationship.

 

Prayer: Lord, in our better moments, we admit our tongue is too busy. Help us remain compassionate hearers of others. 

Heaven Stories Mar.17

 

           Suppose while in heaven, you had the chance to tell each angel a story of your good experiences and each would hear it as new and each angel could feel the experience, would you be able to share events that showed your best potential in Christ? Would those episodes prove worthy in eternity? What if you could see all the connections?

           A significant goal in this life is when you can fully accept what you are potentially in Christ; this then begins the framework what you may actually become in heaven reality.

           Prayer: Lord, help me to think less of past experiences and move forward by setting my mind upon what I can become for Christ.

 

What is Right? Mar.16

 

           Any work to which the Heavenly Father commits Himself will be empowered by His  glory. Glory means He remains in a magnificent only first. He allows us to share through his Son, but He remains in control. Any work needs to answer the question: Is some work effort following glory to heavenly Father or just to individuals only?  There often exists a divine principle: The greater a work’s true value to Jehovah, the less eternal human recognition there will be. Any work becoming effective in the divine purpose must be conceived by the Holy Spirit who stabilizes the existence of Jesus, the Son… See the everlasting word in Eph.1: 11-12. 

           Prayer: Lord, help us remember to live your glory which only  honors your Son through any of our personal works.

 

 

Best Contentment Mar.15

 

           When you happen to feel a contentment in your will for what the Holy Spirit is doing, then that peculiar ease becomes a substance guiding completeness. You may then vibrate in love, God’s Grace, as your exercised faith as you grow endurance. You can continue unlimited contentment, every day spent, as a God-given strategy for living. James 1:2-4 shows insightful consideration.

 

           Prayer: Lord, help me recognize and do my part to remove any defects that hinder my covenant with you, so I can journey closely on your path of Grace.

 

Find Patience Mar.14

 

           Because of your earthly, linear time that continues straight ahead, whether backward or forward, many prayerful desires or requests seem to linger by delays without answer. If your concerns diminish by delay or lose specific momentum, they may have entered a different time frame like that of heavenly Father or not have been according to the will of God in the first place. Heavenly values are not disregarded by your misdirection.

          

Prayer: Lord, thank you for reminding us, our time is not the only time. Your heavenly existence embraces our time. Although we do not always understand, help us grow our patience.

Soul Need Mar.13

           As a Jesus believer, sometimes you hunger for an alone time, a time to float, collect yourself, silence trials of internal thinking, stop internal noise of your everyday strivings. At other times, you wish for like-minded souls with whom you can relate and identify, those who create feelings of togetherness, caring and community. When you have too much solitude, you yearn for community. When too much community exists, you thirst for some time alone. For your soul’s best stability, try to create a contentment by focusing on a deliberate balance. You choose the adjustments and action for helpful balance, but Holy Spirit never leaves you alone.

 

           Prayer: Lord, through every day given, help me harmonize solitude and community.
