Strength for Today

17 09 2014

IMG_0099Don’t be sad because the joy you have in the Lord is your strength.   Nehemiah 8:10

A new day brings with it a new opportunities for a whole new set of experiences. Occasionally, I have finished a day that was full of the unexpected.  Something happened that may have resulted in a series of events that I could not have even imagined. This is the nature of life and living.

Setting “the stage” or “our mindset” for each day can provide the strength or the endurance needed to make it through whatever the day brings.   If we approach each day with praises on our lips for our faithful Father, thanksgiving in our hearts for His goodness and rejoicing in our spirit for His peace and His love, it will help us to endure. It will help us to respond to the day’s events in faith and in love. It will remind us that Jesus is faithful to be with us each step of the way. The joy of the Lord is our strength.

Always…

12 09 2014

2014-08-25 15.21.39

 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!

Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do.

Remember, the Lord is coming soon.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.

Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  

Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.

His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.

Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.

Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing.

Then the God of peace will be with you.

Philippians 4:4-9 NLT

 Things we should do consistently at all times –  Always…

Celebrate

3 09 2014

Sparkling Fallview

 Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

Philippians 4:4-9 MSG

Filled with His joy!

Terri's Wellspring's avatarTerri's Wellspring

I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;

I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.

I will be filled with joy because of you.

Total Praise

14 08 2014

At all times….

Terri's Wellspring's avatarTerri's Wellspring

I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. Psalms 34:1

The “I will” portion of this scripture reflects a personal decision and acknowledgment to give praise to the One who is so worthy of all the praise. We can approach each day and each situation with praises to the Lord on our lips and in our heart. We serve a Heavenly Father whose love for us is beyond our understanding. He loves us and has given us both grace and mercy, as we welcome another day. I am thankful this day for God’s goodness and faithfulness to me and to all of His children. We are praying for His continued leading and that every aspect of me, my thoughts, my words and the fruit of my hands will be used for His glory. We will have His praises on our lips and His songs in our…

Constantly Speak His Praises

13 08 2014

Walking in thanksI will praise the Lord at all times.
I will constantly speak his praises.
I will boast only in the Lord;
let all who are helpless take heart.
Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness;
let us exalt his name together.

I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.
He freed me from all my fears.
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;
no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles.
For the angel of the Lord is a guard;
he surrounds and defends all who fear him.

Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
Fear the Lord, you his godly people,
for those who fear him will have all they need.
Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,
but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.

Psalm 34:1-10 NLT

Faith at Work

11 08 2014

Stay in faith!

Terri's Wellspring's avatarTerri's Wellspring

Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it. Hebrews 11:1 NCV

By definition, faith calls us to believe in things we can’t see. We may be seeking change that is not yet visible and no evidence in sight but yet we are called to believe. It takes stamina and standing firmly on God’s word. It may be improved health, a saved loved one or a change in a situation that we are believing God for. Whatever we hope to come to past, we must continue to put our trust in God, speak words consistent with God’s word and walk in Faith that it will happen. We are called to faith not just because of what we are hoping for. We are called to faith because without it is impossible to please Him. Stay in Faith.

But…

Head to Toe

8 08 2014

O my soul, bless God.
From head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name!
O my soul, bless God,
don’t forget a single blessing!
Raise'm high He forgives your sins-every one.
He heals your diseases-every one.
He redeems you from hell-saves your life!
He crowns you with love and mercy-a paradise crown.
He wraps you in goodness-beauty eternal.
He renews your youth-you’re always young in his presence.
God makes everything come out right;
he puts victims back on their feet.
He showed Moses how he went about his work,
opened up his plans to all Israel.
God is sheer mercy and grace;
not easily angered, he’s rich in love.
He doesn’t endlessly nag and scold,
nor hold grudges forever.
He doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve,
nor pay us back in full for our wrongs.
As high as heaven is over the earth,
so strong is his love to those who fear him.
And as far as sunrise is from sunset,
he has separated us from our sins.
As parents feel for their children,
God feels for those who fear him.
He knows us inside and out,
keeps in mind that we’re made of mud.
Men and women don’t live very long;
like wildflowers they spring up and blossom,
But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly,
leaving nothing to show they were here.
God’s love, though, is ever and always,
eternally present to all who fear him,
Making everything right for them and their children
as they follow his Covenant ways
and remember to do whatever he said.
God has set his throne in heaven;
he rules over us all. He’s the King!
So bless God, you angels,
ready and able to fly at his bidding,
quick to hear and do what he says.
Bless God, all you armies of angels,
alert to respond to whatever he wills.
Bless God, all creatures, wherever you are-
everything and everyone made by God.

And you, O my soul, bless God!

Psalm 103 MSG

Be Encouraged

For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”  Hebrews 12:5b

Starting the day on the firm foundation of an encouraged heart is a blessed way to approach what is ahead.  We may have a busy day at work planned or countless other tasks to accomplish before we settle down at the end of the day.  Or maybe you are blessed to have a time of rest and reflection planned during these last days of summer.  Whatever you have scheduled, please know that we can experience this blessed day with confidence and peace of God’s promises and love:

  • He will provide direction;
  • He will  guide our footsteps;
  • His Holy Spirit can give us the right words to say;
  • He will meet our needs as we put Him first;
  • He can provide protection in the midst of the storm;
  • We are never alone.

Show Me

5 08 2014

He will show you….

Terri's Wellspring's avatarTerri's Wellspring

Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,   for I am trusting you.

Show me where to walk,   for I give myself to you.

Psalm 143:8

IMG_2082Each day is an opportunity to walk with renewed spirit with the Lord. Starting the day with a resolve for strong directed steps helps us to maximize our efforts. Spending time in the Word each morning helps us to focus on God’s promises to us. He is our Heavenly Father who loves us beyond what we can imagine. He promises to be with us and to provide for our need. We can put our full faith and trust in Him. He promised to lead and guide us each step of the way and we are thankful. We can stand firmly in faith that He loves us.  He will guide us as we yield our ways and journey to Him.
