Failure May 2

 

        Try not to spend much time thinking back upon your failures, dwelling on your excuses, or even any immaturity from them. Lean on the Holy Spirit and you will have the power to put all things in the proper place. Your age may not matter. Your attitude and character does. Heavenly Father has placed many things in subjection to humanity, but He has not given up total control. Search with the Holy Spirit for your special insight. He still guides any journey when allowed.

 

Prayer: Lord, keep reminding me today that you direct our path.

Struggles May 1

 

        When you enter the path of joy or pain, comfort or discomfort, knowledge or questions, the journey may not always be for your direct edification. The Lord continually seeks those who need salvation. You may enter a struggle with Christ for the sake of someone else. God’s compassion leads to your passion. Even if you are tempted to question or fear . . . remember, God looks to save throughout the universe, and you may be traveling with Him. He will lead. You are to pay attention and follow.

 

Prayer: Lord, help me remember the Holy Spirit works always through pain or prosperity.

Forgive Behavior? Apr.30

 

           What about passing judgement on someone’s behavior? Even forgiving another’s behavior? We need to leave that for heavenly Father to judge. We are to let the Father’s Love settle in us, so we can forgive another person’s original humanity made in the image of God. There may be exceptions, but Who they are may be innocent or guilty, depending on their choices or circumstance. Believe it or not, the Heavenly Father loves them more than we can, including our deliberate enemies we think need justice. Pray and desire for the best, even for those who appear vilest in behavior. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” must remain our attitude.

           Prayer: Lord, help us love more and judge less.

 

Work Apr.29

 

           You need not force yourself to do God's work. Your body should not force the Spirit. Relax in Christ, be receptive enough to accept his work and endure, and then have your spirit bring the body along. God is not a scorekeeper. If thought as a game, it stays already won. Christ will give the opportunities for any task. Heavenly Father is the Love-life that energizes the body and soul. He grows your spirit essence for your decision-making soul that influences your body, while His kingdom keeps moving along.       

           Prayer: Lord, help me daily to keep my spirit in harmony with your Spirit and with my body.      

 

What is Sin? Apr.28

 

           Earthly definition may give a rational explanation for sin, like there could be no good without evil-sin, but all the reasons are too human. When you cross over to the other side, heavenly Father will show the real reason for evil and that knowledge will bring you such joy that it will take the heavenly atmosphere for you to be able to stand it. Know this: Ending Sin is not the complete point of salvation. You can only partially understand God’s eternal balance right now. Have the passive energy in faith in the not knowing of this dimension and what is yet to come. Have faith in the All-Knowing, All-present heavenly Father.

           Prayer: Lord, all I really know is. . . thank you for saving us from sin destruction.

When tired Apr.25

 

           Heavenly Father made creative energy to work its way throughout our step-by-step linear time. The Holy Spirit does the connecting. Yet, energy flows through establishment and change. Sometimes God works changes outside of earthly operating time by rearranging the distribution of energy without consuming it. Remember the burning bush and Moses, the Cross and Jesus’s resurrection.  Sometimes the energy may be light [insight], sometimes music [peace], sometimes art [beauty], suffering [character building], life in a seed or person[future change]. Life challenge is all around you. When you feel you cannot go any longer, tap into the energy.

           Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving us hidden strength when most needed. Help us trust.

Your journey Apr.24

 

           Because the Holy Spirit stays jointly with you, when you practice God’s presence, you have a divine partnership. God can and will prepare the way. Many obstacles may appear in your path. That does not mean divine help is absent. Disrupters of life appear but the Spirit will guide you through the journey. He is present although you are unaware. You will get through as scripture promises. Your final challenge is not each hurdle, but the waiting for God to carve out the way. He prepares the seasons, the flavor of life, and the hearts to make your way for the right connections. Pay close attention. All things do work for what's best who remember Christ.

           Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving the true Way and helping us recognize what we should learn.
