Making a Way
5 07 2016“I will go before you and level the mountains; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.” Isaiah 45:2
The Lord goes before us making our paths straight. Just meditating on this aspect of our walk of faith blesses my soul. He is not only directing our steps but he is going before us smoothing the way. We often don’t know the way forward but He puts the spotlight on next steps. The Holy Spirit is gently guiding, planting seeds in our heart to prepare us for what’s to come. Obstacles are no match for our Heavenly Father; He can move mountains. I am so thankful for this blessing. He is making a way for me.
Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]. Proverbs 3:5-6 AMP

Beyond Measure
1 07 2016Seek the Kingdom of above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33
I am blessed beyond measure. My life and living are sprinkled with God’s blessings. Love, peace and joy surround me. I enjoy health and wellness and I am free. The Lord makes a way for me and allows me to experience the world in ways that I could not have imagined.
We can give thanks for Jesus who came to give us life and life more abundantly. We need an abundance of His peace, His love and His joy. We want it be so evident in our lives and overflowing to everyone who is in need of His touch in their lives. As I enjoy His blessings, I will seek to spread His goodness to others. Smiles and words of encouragement are free gifts that come from above through me to the people in my life.
I am blessed beyond measure.
The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. John 10:10

He Cares for Me
29 06 2016
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. I Peter 5:7

This is the Day
28 06 2016Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6
The Creator was gracious when time was divided into daily doses. Twenty-four hour cycles allow us to plan and experience life in manageable segments. At times we are anxious to see down the road, what will happen a year from now, a week from now and even anticipate what will happen tomorrow. Thankfully, we do not have a crystal ball to see ahead. Today is a day of trusting. It’s a day of listening for direction. It’s a day of knowing that the Lord is able to keep us despite any uncertainty. We can take life one day at a time recognizing that the every detail of our lives is working together for our good. We can experience one day at a time with the Lord.
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28

Look to Jesus
21 06 2016Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6-7
We can look to our Savior when we need help. When we need guidance, He can provide direction. When we need peace, we can focus on Him and calm will come. When we need rejuvenation, He can provide a renewed spirit. I am so thankful that He is always available to talk and to provide for our needs. We can honor His faithfulness to us through a dedicated life to His ways and His purpose for our living. His love for us deserves our faithful response with a grateful heart. We can look to Jesus when we need Him.
