Your Presence is Heaven to Me
The LORD replied, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’ (Exodus 33:14)
My prayer for you today is that you will find rest in God’s presence. May you find strength as He lifts you up. May your hope be restored as God renews your vision. May God’s peace truly guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. May you never worry of what’s to come or how bad the storm of life will get. May you only rest in knowing that God is for you, always for you… and because of this there is no one who can stand against you. Read more
Good Enough
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise, give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. (Psalm 100:4-5)
Today I was taking a test that I have taken many times, but God showed me something new. Have you ever had that happen? It’s happened to me many times! I’m so glad God can find new ways to speak to us even through the mundane things we have to do in life. The test included some loud noises that made me think of the above verse. In this world, we have to hear many things.
Beloved
You are the Beloved…therefore infinitely dear to the Father, unspeakably precious to Him. You are never, not for one second, alone. (Norman Dowty)
Have Mercy on Me
He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves and were confident that they were righteous [that they were upright and in right standing with God] and scorned and made nothing of all the rest of men:
Two men went up into the temple [enclosure] to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee took his stand ostentatiously and began to pray thus before and with himself: God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of men—extortioners (robbers), swindlers [unrighteous in heart and life], adulterers—or even like this tax collector here. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I gain. But the tax collector, [merely] standing at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but kept striking his breast, saying, O God, be favorable (be gracious, be merciful) to me, the especially wicked sinner that I am! I tell you, this man went down to his home justified (forgiven and made upright and in right standing with God), rather than the other man; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Luke 18:9-14, AMP)
