If you can I would like you to read the following aloud so your spirit can be built up and refreshed by these words…
Every morning Lord, Your mercies are fresh and new to me.
Your grace is sufficient for I can not live life apart from Your ability.
Your joy brings me strength as I seek to walk in Your presence.
I thank You Lord that Your love keeps my heart, and Your patience
promises to help me to be longsuffering with all those around me. I
thank You Lord that my youth is renewed like the eagles as I wait upon
You each day. From the windows of Heaven comes an abundance so
big that I open my hands and they are filled to the full and Your
blessings overflow around me. Lord, I thank You for Your
forgiveness cleanses my heart in my time of need. It teaches me how
to rise above offense and forgive in those times when I am called upon
to do so. There is not one thing I face today that is too big for
You God for Your Name is great and You are greatly to be praised!
This is just a few of the many wonderful things that I bring you to meditate and confess this morning for we serve our living God, and He desires that we remind ourselves of who He is and what He is able to do. He wants you to set your mind on things above and not on the things of this earth. Is there anything too hard for our God? Do you feel at times that your life, and it’s problems are too hard for God? Let us be confident today that we were fearfully and wonderfully made and no matter how young or old we are…He has a work for us to do today.
Philippians 1:6 (JUB)
“…being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun
a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
God is not a God that starts things and leaves them unfinished.He is the one with diligent and mighty hands that are well able to continue the great work He began in you. All we have to do is keep our hearts and eyes on Him, and trust Him with all of our being!
