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

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

30 Days of Thanks – D20

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

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.

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!!

Soul Desire

Aug4

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
Mark 8:38 NASB and Luke 9:26

What is your soul desire?
Be not ashamed or shamed?

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark 8:36‭-‬37 NASB

But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 10:33 NASB

🌹For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay (recompense) every man according to his deeds (doing).

No one is exempt.

Silence

Jul10

My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.
Psalms 62:1‭-‬2 NASB

Waiting in silence. . .
If you’re anything like me, this is difficult. I very much enjoy talking to the Lord and I can babble on and on and on. . . But how can I hear the still small voice of the Lord if I am not silent, listening.

In the silence I am humbled as I am reminded that my salvation is from God alone. He is my rock, my stronghold and where I find my strength.

I shall not be greatly shaken! In God I will trust.

For our heart rejoices in Him, Because we trust in His holy name.

🌹The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the person (soul) who seeks Him. It is good that he waits silently For the salvation of the Lord.

To Whom Do You Turn?

Jun16

She (Hannah), greatly distressed, prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly.
1 Samuel 1:10‭ NASB

Hannah knew where to go. When you are
afflicted, agitated, anxious, anguished, distraught, or troubled, where do you go? When experiencing anxiety, the blues, desolation, discomfort, disappointment, grief, suffering or tribulation, where do you turn?

As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard. . .
1 Samuel 1:13‭ NASB
She told the priest, Eli, “No, my Lord, I am a woman oppressed in spirit; . . .I have poured out my soul before the Lord.
1 Samuel 1:15‭ NASB

To the Lord, is where Hannah went and she poured out her soul before the Lord.
Why do we not pour out our souls to the Lord in whom we can trust to hear, understand, console and direct our steps? The result of prayer is evident when you arise from the pouring out of your soul. . .
So the woman (Hannah) went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
1 Samuel 1:18b NASB

🌹Let’s pour out our souls more often before the Lord so we can shine bright for Jesus instead of being a “Gloomy Gus”.

Continually Seeking Him,

Sharon
