The Little Victories

Life is full of small victories. Sometimes these victories come from a small gesture, a kind word, or a memory provided at just the right time.

These are some of my small moments, little victories, and triumphant reminders.

On Monday I prayed - 12.22.2014


Monday
May God load you up with blessings and benefits, joy and love in such abundance that you cannot hold it all.  Believe in the goodness and right promises of God.  Stand in joyful anticipation of His deliverance, goodness and triumphant return.  May your cup run over with His goodness and favor. 

Tuesday
Take heart and comfort in the truth that no one and nothing can stand against the power, might, majesty, and promises of the Sovereign. In His great wisdom and divine timing He is preparing for us an eternal and unfailing victory, a joyful week.  May this week's  glimpses of heaven's glory make you burst with joy, give you renewed strength and peace. 

Wednesday
I am wishing and praying for a week characterized by unceasing joy, infinite love, boundless hope, great wonders, thunderous praise, joyful laughter, warm memories, divine peace, tremendous excitement and unmatched success.  May heaven smile upon you and may this holy week be filled with great memories, abiding joy, hope, and endless grace.  

Thursday
From my morning devotional:  Even if it feels hard and things seem dark, hang on and hang in.  Worried,  confused or anxious about today or tomorrow? Hang in and hang on.  "Clasp your hands around the outstretched hands of the Almighty who is able to save and secure us." Hang in, and hang on! For our Deliverer is near and our deliverance draws nearer still.

Friday
Welcome to a fabulous Friday and a ready made wonderful weekend.  May God give you strength, courage, guidance and all that you need to make the choices that lead to victory, peace, and triumph.  May God guide your heart to Him so that you may enjoy all things.  As your weekend unfolds may it bring you to remember that God's perfect plans, ultimate will, and divine favor for you will not, and cannot be shaken by circumstances, social events, other people, your past background, family history or seemingly present realities. With faith in Him you shall prosper, and be very successful.

Saturday
God's greatness and awesomeness is settled,  fixed and firmly established for generations and generations to come. And right now in this moment His greatness is upon you to bring you strong hope, extraordinary grace, and indescribable joy. May the greatness of God be on continual display for you.  May the Almighty and His love bless you in love and to be loved always.
Wishing you a great day filled with perpetual joy, eternal hope, infinite grace, and extravagant love. May the light from heaven's glory  brighten your day and make your steps lighter.  God's love to you

Sunday
And Asa cried to the Lord his God, "O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O Lord, you are our God; let not man prevail against you.
God will hear you when you cry and His mighty arm is never to short that it cannot protect you against anything.  May every multitude that comes against you in one direction, flea from you in several.  May every trial that threatens your life be thwarted and turned into your triumph.  God is good and God will hear you when you cry.


On Monday I prayed - 12.15.2014







Wishing you a great day 
filled with perpetual joy, 
with eternal hope,

May the light from heaven's glory

 God's love to you always!

Extravagant God... abundantly blessed

May you experience Christ Jesus in truth and beauty, so that you may enjoy the abundant life He has promised.

May your life reach new highs, greater joys, and an ever sweeter peace. And may God, the Savior and Sovereign, reign and rule over your days to bring all His promises and plans to pass.

May the God of heaven and earth, the Holy One clothed in majesty and glory, bless you richly, wildly, extravagantly and abundantly beyond compare. May His love and presence be an ever-present and everlasting gift to you today and always.

O taste and see that the Lord is good - from Psalm 34:8

God is our strength

Don't fear, because I am with you; don't be afraid,  for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, I will surely help you; I will hold you with my righteous strong hand.  Isaiah 41:10

God is our strength, and His powerful and outstretched arms will always be there to hold you through any trial, every storm, and all the days of your journey.  Even in the end, it will be His outstretched, nail pierced and righteous hand that will reach out to welcome you home. 

As He has promised, so may He do for you.  May God be your all.  Amen.

Our dwelling place

The Eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. Deut. 33:27

In all ways and at all times God be your refuge, strength, and peace. And in all trials and seasons His all powerful arms will hold, comfort and protect you.

Love so...

Love is irresistible, irrefutable, undeniable. Nothing rises to it. The dark side of our character has no weapon against it. It's our trump card. - Jim Daly


Love so amazing, so divine


O God, if the whole earth should be filled with words of praise to You- 
pressed down, piled on, stacked and re-stacked, 
pushed, packed and pressed together,
and stretched from inner core to outer crust - 
even then, O God, the whole earth could not contain all the praises due Your name, all the thanks that is due for Your blessings, or the grace from us to You for Your graciousness.  

Love so amazing, so divine!

Ease and struggle



Comfort each other and edify one another. —1 Thessalonians 5:11

May your day be easy so that you might have the time, energy and strength to come alongside someone else in their time of need.

May your day have trials so that you might develop the spiritual discipline of prayer and the spiritual muscle that you will need to carry the burdens of your fellow travelers. 

God give me today, both moments of great ease and opportunities for growth.  And in all moments,  both easy and not so, give me all of Your greatness, wisdom and Holy Spirit. 



Help for today and great hope for tomorrow too

I read this quote from the NIV devotional today and thought I would share it with you :

Regardless of the storm's intensity, you remain in the forefront of God's thoughts. He's thinking of you, sustaining you, comforting you, giving you strength. He doesn't mentally check out.  You're so present on God's mind that it's as though he has engraved your image on the palms of his hands. 
~ From Biblegateway NIV Devotional  "A Scar Shaped Like Your Picture"

I just wanted to send you the same reminders that I have received this morning.  You know, in case you also needed a reminder in your trials and in your storms that God loves you and is with you always.  

Isaiah 49:15 Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I [The LORD, The Everlasting God] will not forget you

Isaiah 49:16  Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.

I hope God's true love and everlasting presence will give you encouragement,  strength, and hope for today.  

Blessings, Cassius.

A prayer for whatever the battle...








A prayer from Anne Cetas


"Whatever battles you may be facing today, know this—
God loves you much more than you can imagine, and He is faithful to come to your assistance." 

— May God be your strength and refuge, and may He lift you up so you can stand!
