Great is Your Faithfulness

-

Lamentations 3:22-24 22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” (NKJV)

The Prophet Jeremiah, known as “The Weeping Prophet,” had personally witnessed the total destruction of Jerusalem by invasion of the Babylonians resulting in fire burning the walls and the gates of his beautiful city. This total devastation of Jerusalem was the result of the disobedience of God’s Covenant people, the Israelites. They refused to look at themselves for who they were and the sins of idolatry and their rejection of their most Holy God. God had warned them through the Prophets on many occasions. The Prophet Jeremiah was their last chance, and they still refused to repent and return to God. The result was devastation of the Holy City of Jerusalem along with the Temple.
When we willingly turn away from God and go our own way, we are acting much like the Children of Israel in Jeremiah’s time. Sometimes we just want to go our own way and do our own thing. I have witnessed lives changed in a horrible way as the result of turning away from God. Pride and selfish desires often lead the way to self-isolation from God. But God’s mercy never fails and is always there especially when we believe that we have gone too far from God to turn back now. That is a lie straight from Satan who does not want you to turn back. He likes you where you are as you travel further and further away from the fellowship with the Father you once enjoyed.
It is never too late to STOP where you are and pray to God for His mercy, grace and forgiveness. His mercies cannot be consumed. They are NEW every morning. 1 John 1:9 states, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (NKJV). This verse alone can put a STOP to where you are (away from God) and return you to the path of RENEWED fellowship. This is what God wants for you. If you find yourself on this path, it is time to return to God and experience His incredible forgiveness and blessings He has for your life.
Key Thought: As we wake up and begin our daily activities, thank God for His mercies which are so vast that they could never be consumed. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for Your great love shown through Your sacrifice on the Cross. Forgive me of the times I have taken Your work through the Cross for granted. May I truly experience Your closeness in my life in deep and powerful ways. In Jesus’ Name I pray, AMEN!!!
Have a Blessed and Wonderful Day!!!
In Christ,

Two Mind Sets

Two Mind Sets Romans 8:5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. (NIV) Today’s verse shows the struggle that occurs between two great forces. We are physically born into this world with a sinful nature, but when we are born again as a new person in Christ, we are given the distinct advantage of the power of the cross. Yet even with this great resource available to us as believers it can be quite difficult to live in accordance with the Spirit . Often, we fail to use these great resources available to us because we simply do not ask for God to intervene in times of trials and tribulation. He wants us to call on His name to help us in growing as believers in Christ. The key here is to recognize the sinful nature so that you know when the temptations of old arise and can dismiss Satan with a single comment. Jesus was tempted in Matth...

Eye Has Not Seen

Eye Has Not Seen 1 Corinthians 2:9 “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (NKJV) What would happen if you stopped and took notice of the things God has prepared for you in the past as well as the future? We are not a complicated creation to Him, but we are very complicated to us. He created us and the plans He has for us are geared to our character which He created. Let’s face it folks, we are the ones who mess things up. Let’s stop, sit down with the Word of God, and thank Him first, then open that conversation with Him. He waits for that interchange. We stop the conversation with Him with an AMEN!!! I challenge us to open God’s Word and begin our prayers. He knows your heart in advance. Ask God to put it together for you so you can be better prepared for what He has planned. His preparation is His Word, the Bible. I know some folks who did this and they became so overwhelmed at God mo...

Our Willing Savior

Our Willing Savior Matthew 8:2-3   A man with leprosy came and knelt before Him and said, “Lord if you are willing, you can make me clean.”  Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man ,  “I am willing,”   He said. “Be clean!”    Immediately he was cured of leprosy.  (NIV) This remarkable story of healing is powerful. But I would like for us to focus on the phrase stated by Jesus: “ I am willing,”   These few words are often overlooked on their own as a statement in themselves, but they speak volumes of what Jesus desires to do for us.  He is willing . He does not negotiate terms, He simply loves and guides us daily when in our hearts, we truly want more and more of Him.  Key Thought: He is willing to always give more of Himself to us than we can ever imagine. Today, let us start with this request. “Lord if you are willing” …… Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, Give me Your peace, in Your time, that I may share...
