The Coming Reign

Aug27

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
James 5:7-8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.5.7-8.NASB1995

With patience, let us prepare our hearts for the day of harvest when we will reap – see those we shared with, those we prayed for – before the throne of God. Do not grow weary.

Let us continue to sow the seed of righteousness as we follow Jesus.

Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
Galatians 6:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.6.9.NASB1995

🙏Lord God, help us to know You deeply and to walk in expectation of Your return, without neglecting the coming harvest of souls awaiting Your reign.

So rejoice, O sons of Zion, And be glad in the Lord your God; For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, The early and latter rain as before.
Joel 2:23 NASB1995

🌹So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
Hosea 6:3 NASB1995

Storms

Aug15

I’m sitting on my porch this morning in the darkness of a storm brewing. Here is where I spend my mornings with Jesus. Most days I hear the birds chirping and hear squirrels squealing away and see them as they jump from tree to tree. But this morning is quiet except for the russel of the leaves on the tree as the wind blows. No sun, just grey skies and a cool wind.

It brought to mind the beginning of storms in our lives. How do we handle them?

We can look at the storm and fret over what might happen or we can look to and trust God to walk with us through the storm and await the outcome of His purpose for the storm.

Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’
Isaiah 41:10, 13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.41.10-13.NASB1995

Walk in peace with Jesus.

🌹Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.

Resolve of Heart

Jun5

Among the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
Judges 5:15d NASB
Among the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
Judges 5:16b NASB

Have you determined in your heart to seek God earnestly and follow in His way? The divisions of Reuben did and there was peace for forty years.

Thus let all Your enemies perish, O Lord; But let those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might.” And the land was undisturbed for forty years.
Judges 5:31 NASB

So. . .

Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually. Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments uttered by His mouth,
Psalms 105:4‭-‬5 NASB

With the rising of the sun each new day, pray for God to help resolve your heart to seek earnestly His strength, His way, His face continually. May we, the body of Christ, seek to rise as the sun in its might; so we may live in peace.

🌹Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord Until He comes to rain righteousness on you.
Hosea 10:12 NASB

View Righteousness, Seek The Lord

Apr10

Sow with a view to righteousness,
Reap in accordance with  kindness;
Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord
Until He comes to rain righteousness on you. — Hosea 10:12

The wicked earns deceptive wages, But he who sows righteousness gets a true reward. — Proverbs 11:18

‘For I will pour out water on the thirsty land
And streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out My Spirit on your  offspring
And My blessing on your descendants; — Isaiah 44:3

God is willing and ready to pour out His righteousness, Spirit, blessings and reward. Seek Jesus! Do everything in righteousness and with a loyal heart to the Lord.

Continually seeking Him,

Sharon
