Significant Everlasting Change

Apr29

Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm (give permanence* to) for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm (give permanence* to) the work of our hands.
Psalms 90:17 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.90.17.NASB1995

*existing perpetually; everlasting, especially without significant change.
‭
Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”
John 6:27 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.6.27.NASB1995

What is the work of our hands?
God’s hands working His will, His plan through us under the power of His Holy Spirit. God working through a surrendered, crucified life.

So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.
1 Corinthians 3:7 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.3.7.NASB1995

Lord, You will establish peace for us, Since You have also performed for us all our works.
Isaiah 26:12 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.26.12.NASB1995

🌹The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way.
Psalms 37:23 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.37.23.NASB1995

‭Are you walking in the steps of Jesus? Is God delighting in your way?

https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.11.28.NASB1995‭‭

I always looked at this verse as being addressed to God’s children until this weekend at church I noticed it could also be a call to salvation.
Come to Me, says Jesus, all you who are weary from and heavy laden with sin. I will give you rest from this world. But it doesn’t stop there . . .

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew‬ ‭11:29‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.11.29.NASB1995‭‭

Take My yoke. Take My Spirit who will teach you all things you need to know to follow Me. You will find peace and rest in Me.

‭‭For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew‬ ‭11:30‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.11.30.NASB1995

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
John‬ ‭14:26‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.14.26.NASB1995

🌹But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
John‬ ‭16:13‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

30 Days of Thanks – D25

Nov25

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians‬ ‭4:4, 6‭ NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.4.NASB1995

Could praying with thanksgiving be a testimony to faith in God? Praying with thanksgiving is trusting God with the outcome of your supplication, your request before it is answered.
What happens when you leave the request at the altar and trust God for the outcome?

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.7.NASB1995

🌹Have a peaceful day, believing and  trusting with thanksgiving.

30 Days of Thanks – D17

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Colossians‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.15.NASB1995

I am truly thankful for Jesus, the Prince of peace. It was prophesied in Isaiah that He would come. And indeed He did to give peace to those who believe and trust in Him.

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
John‬ ‭14:27‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.14.27.NASB1995

‭‭We have nothing to fear or to be troubled about. Even in the midst of trouble all around us we can trust that God has a plan and not fear. Our God is in control. Trust  so that peace may fill your heart and mind.

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.16.33.NASB1995

‭‭Do you know Jesus, personally? Do you trust Him with your life? Have you made a confession of faith that is now your possession of faith? Does Jesus live in you? Then .  .  .

🌹‭‭the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Battle on Your Knees

Oct19

The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent.”
Exodus‬ ‭14:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/exo.14.14.NASB1995

‭‭For thus the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has said, “In repentance and rest you will be saved, In quietness and trust is your strength.” But you were not willing,
Isaiah‬ ‭30:15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.30.15.NASB1995

‭‭And the work of righteousness will be peace, And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
Isaiah‬ ‭32:17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.32.17.NASB1995

I believe prayer is the best weapon of war. In prayer, our hearts are centered on God. In prayer, we seek God’s forgiveness, His way, His will, and we find quietness and trust. In quietness and trust, we gain strength. With the strength of God working in us, we confidently face opposition with righteousness and quietness; confident that He will and is fighting while we keep silent. Through prayer, our righteous actions will speak louder than words spoken in anger or resentment. The result will be peace.

🌹Pray, trusting God in the battle.

O clap your hands, all peoples;
Shout to God with the voice of joy.

God has ascended with (amid) a shout, The Lord, with (amid) the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
Psalm 47:5-6 NASB

God our King! God is our Savior! He is worthy of our praises! Let us sing praises to our God, our King!

If we don’t, we miss out on the exuberant joy of our God and the earth will shout His praises!
But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”
Luke 19:40 NASB

Let the rivers clap their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy

Isaiah 55:12 NASB

Forever King

Jun26

The Lord sat as King at the flood; Yes, the Lord sits as King forever. The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace.
Psalms 29:10‭-‬11 NASB

The Lord is King forever and ever;
Psalms 10:16‭a
O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear
Psalms 10:17 NASB

The Lord is King. Are you fighting submission to His will? His way? His love? His provision? You’re fighting a losing battle. He is ultimate ruler over all. The Victor!!
Humbly surrender that the King of kings and the Lord of lords will hear your call to repentance. He will strengthen your heart and bless you with peace in this world and beyond. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Continually Seeking Him,

🌹Sharon
