Speak of His Wonders

Jan9

Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders. Glory in His holy name;
Psalms 105:1-3a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.105.1-3.NASB1995

We have all been there. Something wonderful has happened in our lives and what is the one thing we can’t wait to do? Tell someone.
God has done something wonderful for us. The Father sent Jesus to save us from ourselves, our sin, and in walking with Him we get to see His glory in our lives. That is something to thank God for. That is something to share with others; all the wonderful deeds He has done in our lives and speak of those wonders. Testimonies of God’s movement in our lives is something to share no matter how small our how big. Let us glory in His name for God is great and worthy to be praised.

🌹Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.

Portrait of a Christian

Jan7

Of this church I (Paul) was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is

Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Colossians 1:25-27 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.1.25-27.NASB1995

If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Romans 8:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.10.NASB1995

Whose righteousness? Christ, in you.
Are you alive in Christ?
Are you walking in the hope of Christ?
Do you have hope of the glory to come?

Portrait #1: Christ in you!

Jesus speaking to the Father:
🙏The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

Believing Surrender

Jan6

Mary, the mother of Jesus, was visited by the angel Gabriel just as Zacharias was six months earlier. The angel told Mary that she had found favor with God and that she would conceive and bear a son. You shall name Him Jesus.
Mary asked how this can be since she was a virgin.
Luke 1:26, 30-31, 34 paraphrased

and the angel answered:
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.”
Luke 1:35 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.1.35.NASB1995

🌹And Mary said, “Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
Luke 1:38 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.1.38.NASB1995

What did it take for Mary to surrender to God’s will?

Ask yourself,  “What will it take for me to do the same?”

🌹And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord.”
Luke 1:45 NASB1995

Trusting Surrender

Jan5

Zacharias, a priest in the days of Herod, was married to Elizabeth. They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord.
They were childless due to Elizabeth being barren. Both were advanced in age.
While Zacharias was in the temple of the Lord an angel appeared to him. The angel told Zacharias that his prayer for his wife to conceive was heard and Elizabeth would bear a son and he was to be named John.
Zacharias was told, “You will have joy and gladness and many will rejoice at his birth. He will be great in the sight of the Lord and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother’s womb. He will turn many of the sons of Israel back to the Lord their God.”
Luke 1:5-16 paraphrased.

John was the forerunner of Jesus to make ready a people prepared for His coming as a Savior.

Zacharias’ response:

Zacharias said to the angel, “How will I know this for certain? For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years.”
Luke 1:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.1.18.NASB1995

How often in our lives do we lack the power of Almighty God to fulfill His plan because of our focus on our own human abilities? Are we trusting in our ability or in God’s power to accomplish what He has planned?

Will we surrender?

🌹Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.3.5.NASB1995

🌹For nothing will be impossible with God.” Luke 1:37 NASB1995

New Year. New You?

Jan2

Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:1-3 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.4.1-3.NASB1995

. . . . .be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.
Colossians 1:9-12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.1.9-12.NASB1995

Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Colossians 3:1-3 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.1-3.NASB1995

🌹I will sing a new song to You, O God; Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
