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.

Seeing The Lord Everlasting

From Mart DeHaan

Father, in the details and distractions of our spiritual journey, it is so easy to look right past You and Your Son. May we see You today in a new and fresh way.

Lifting eyes


Lift your "eyes from the challenges, trials and circumstances" and encourage your heart "to see the power, presence, and faithfulness of the Lord. Whatever has happened, the Lord invites you to find healing, hope, and new life in Him. - David McCasland

Isaiah 61:1-3

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;

to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.

In Christ I pray:

The Lord Almighty give you beauty instead of ashes, gladness instead of mourning,  praise instead of a faint spirit; that you may be firmly rooted and strong, and that He may be glorified.  God's enormous love comfort you.  His infinite grace and mercy make this day episode upon episode of divine favor. 

Blessings to you always, journey on...
   

Psalm 57.10

57:10 For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens; your faithfulness extends to the clouds.

Be more concerned with what God thinks...


Consider Solomon I believe Jesus calls all of us to let go of the desire to appear good, to give up the appearance of being good, so that we can listen to the word within us and move in the mystery of who we are. The preoccupation with projecting the perfect image . . . leads to self-consciousness, sticky pedestal behavior and bondage to human respect.  - Taken from NIV Ragamuffin Bible

A reminder for me to be more concerned with true righteousness, and what God thinks of me, and what God  has planned for me.  And to be less concerned about what others think,  and even less concerned with trying to fit their ever changing mold and opinions.

God do all this and more for us.

He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give you. Deutoronomy 7.13

It can't stop you...


Whatever it is, sickness, fear, doubt, worry, finances, trials or troubles cast them all on the Lord.  He is able to handle it and he cares for you enough to listen, understand, and act.

Tell yourself the truth that "what is impossible with man is possible with God (Luke 18.27)."  Let the truth of His Word and the might of His unmatched power give you strength.   And then, take up that strength He gives you and worship, praise, give thanks, share with others the comfort and grace you have received, and live life abundantly in Him.

Remember: Whatever it is, it can't stop you from being awesome and living a life of triumph, victory and power!

"Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."
- 1 Peter 5:7,10


Proverbs 1.33

Proverbs 1.33.ESV "but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster."

God's Spirit and Word speak to your soul to give you rest, security, and the peace that passes all understanding. May God bless you and give you grace for the journey!
