The Life Change

Aug7

The unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.
Psalms 119:130 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.130.NASB1995

The power of God’s word to bring light -understanding, direction, sense to life- will change the soul life of a seeking heart.

For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life
Proverbs 6:23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.6.23.NASB1995

The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
Psalms 19:7 NASB1995

🌹Consider seeking God through His word. It is life changing.

Blessed Satisfaction

May30

He (Jesus) opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Matthew 5:1, 6 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.1-6.NASB1995

¹God is righteous! Seeking righteousness is seeking God the righteous One.

As the deer pants (longs) for the water brooks, So my soul pants (longs) for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?
Psalms 42:1-2 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.42.1-2.NASB1995
‭
“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, Who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were hewn And to the quarry from which you were dug.
Isaiah 51:1 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.51.1.NASB1995

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 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/hos.10.12.NASB1995

Seek the Lord, All you humble of the earth Who have carried out His ordinances; Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden In the day of the Lord’s anger.
Zephaniah 2:3 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/zep.2.3.NASB1995

How do we seek?

Through His Word:

Great are the works of the Lord; They are studied by all who delight in them. Splendid and majestic is His work, And His righteousness endures forever.
Psalms 111:2-3 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.111.2-3.NASB1995

‭All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
2 Timothy 3:16 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.3.16.NASB1995

‭The Blessing of seeking:
‭
To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
Isaiah 61:3 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.61.3.NASB1995

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ ”
John 7:37-38 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.7.37-38.NASB1995

for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.”
Romans 10:10-11 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.10.10-11.NASB1995

Ephesians 4:24 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.4.24.NASB1995

If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.
1 John 2:29 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.2.29.NASB1995

For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.

30. Revive Me

Apr30

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I muse on the work of Your hands.
I stretch out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah.
Psalms 143:5-6 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.143.5-6.NASB1995

At times it is good to look back at the milestones of your life. To see where God had you. The times when He blessed you, strengthened you, protected you, used you . . . A wonderful reminder of our need for God. Arms stretched out in longing surrender to the One who revives, protects, teaches, sanctifies.

‭For the sake of Your name, O Lord, revive me. In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
Psalms 143:11 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.143.11.NASB1995

🌹Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul.

God’s Interests or Mine

Apr11

But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests (the things of God), but man’s.”
Matthew 16:23 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.16.23.NASB1995

‭O, how many times I have been there. How about you? Getting caught up in life, seeking our own way, putting Jesus on the back burner as we strive for the good life when Jesus is the way to the good life.
Jesus made it very clear through three of the Gospels — Matthew, Mark and Luke — what is expected of us who call ourselves His “disciples”.


Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
Matthew 16:24/Mark 8:34/Luke 9:23
For whoever wishes to save his life (soul) will lose it; but whoever loses his life (soul) for My sake will find it.
Matthew 16:24-25 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.16.24-25.NASB1995

‭The choice is ours everyday. Are you, am I, willing to deny self, take up the cross and follow Jesus?
Is our soul willing?

🌹For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Matthew 16:26 NASB1995‬

Living and Active Word

Jan11

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.4.12.NASB1995‭‭

‭‭‭‭The word of God is living! Are you living?
for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Peter‬ ‭1:23‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.1.23.NASB1995‭‭

The word of God is active. Is it actively working in you?

For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1th.2.13.NASB1995‭‭

The word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword. Are you taking up the sword?
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians‬ ‭6:17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.6.17.NASB1995‭‭

The word of God is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Are you allowing the word to transform you? Beware . . .
He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. John‬ ‭12:48‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.12.48.NASB1995

🌹. . . but let him who has My word speak My word in truth.

Effectual Doer

Jan5

Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.
But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;
for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.
James‬ ‭1:21‭-‬25‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.21.NASB1995

Humbly receive the word.
Know the word.
A doer will practice the word.
A doer will be blessed.

Nov20

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, That mysoul (glory) may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
Psalms‬ ‭30:11‭-‬12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.30.11.NASB1995

Life is full of many experiences of weeping and times of laughter; times of mourning and times of rejoicing*. Who do you share these experiences with? Jesus is always available to share our sorrows and struggles with, as well as the joys of our lives. He’s waiting to bless. We just need to surrender. Then we are free to celebrate His goodness with praise, glory and thanksgiving.
‭‭
You have put gladness in my heart,

30 Days of Thanks – D18

Nov18

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains, Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High. Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.
Psalms‬ ‭107:8‭-‬14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.107.8.NASB1995

Thank You, Lord, for satisfying my thirsty soul and filling my hungry soul with what is good!! Humble my soul, Lord. You have removed my chains and brought me out of darkness into Your glorious light! Thank You for saving me from the shadow of death. Glory to Your name! Thank You!!
