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

The Power of Earnest Prayer

Sep9

Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.
James 5:17-18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.5.17-18.NASB1995

In 1 Kings 17:1-7 Elijah says there will be no rain.

In Luke 4:25 Jesus affirms that Elijah prayed and there was no rain for three years and six months.

In 1 Kings 18:41-46 Elijah prays and the rain returned.

“And the earth produced its fruit”.

The power of prayer and the fruit of prayer.

Prayer is powerful. It changes lives. . . It changes us. . . It changes others.
Who are you earnestly praying for? Do you believe that you will see the fruit of your prayers?

🌹First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, . . . This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:1, 3-4 NASB1995

Boasting in The Lord

Jul11

Thus says the Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;

but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 9:23-24 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.9.23-24.NASB1995

🙏Your lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. Psalms 36:5, 7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.36.5-7.NASB1995

. . . may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Galatians 6:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.6.14.NASB1995

Amen.

🌹But he who boasts is to boast in the Lord.

Do I? Do We?

I usually like to share scripture of praise on Fridays. This week I was led to Psalm 145. I have to tell you, I felt very convicted.

Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever.
Psalms 145:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.145.2.NASB1995

One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts.
Psalms 145:4 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.145.4.NASB1995

Do we?

On the glorious splendor of Your majesty And on Your wonderful works, I will meditate.
Psalms 145:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.145.5.NASB1995

Do we? Is this daily or just on Sunday?

Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, And I will tell of Your greatness.
Psalms 145:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.145.6.NASB1995

Do we? Ever? Occasionally? Everyday?

They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness.
Psalms 145:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.145.7.NASB1995

Do we? Or is this another, just on Sunday thing?

All Your works shall give thanks to You, O Lord, And Your godly ones shall bless You.
Psalms 145:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.145.10.NASB1995

How often in a day do we give thanks to our Lord? Do we bless Him?

They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom And talk of Your power; To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom.
Psalms 145:11-12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.145.11-12.NASB1995

This one hits hard. Do we speak of our Lord to others? If only . . .

My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.
Psalms 145:21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.145.21.NASB1995

Our God is faithful despite our ways. Let us call upon His mercy and tell of His greatness, power and truth. May He move through us for His glory.

🌹The Lord is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
Psalms 145:17-18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.145.17-18.NASB1995

A Heart of Patience

May21

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of patience
Colossians 3:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12.NASB1995

The chosen of God, overflowing with the fruit of the Spirit, have another attribute of the Spirit, patience. By Jesus we are strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience with joy; so that we might demonstrate the perfect patience of Jesus Christ as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.
Galatians 5:22/Colossians 1:11/1 Timothy 1:16 NASB1995

Life is hard, with many tribulations – adversity, grief, heartache, misfortune, etc. Do we endure with patience, trusting in God?

🌹For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

Exalt King Jesus

Jan24

God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.

And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Hebrews 1:1-3 NASB1995
