The perfect day, the right time

Today is the perfect day to recount God’s past faithfulness and countless victories, to remember His continued goodness and loving kindness, and to recall all of His precious promises to be with us and love us and to care for us always!  Right now is the perfect time to follow Him wholeheartedly and “trust His power and grace to carry us through.”  

Let’s hope in God, not just because of all He has already helped us through, but because of who He is and always will be— the faithful, holy and sovereign God. 

It’s still Easter!

Let us continue to walk in the irrepressible hope and joy of Easter and in the strength, power and love of the resurrection. 

May we focus our hearts, minds, souls and praises on the God of unrelenting passion, unimaginable empathy and undiminished grace and compassion!! 

God does not bow to us or kneel to our commands

Far too often we pray for a particular outcome, with a fixed expectation of what God can do according to our limitations, or what God should do because of our demands and desires. But thankfully God is not limited by our imagination nor restricted by our experiences and expectations, and He is most definitely not bound to our whimsical demands. 

God does not bow to us or kneel to our commands  

The Sovereign and Mighty God hears our prayers and answers with what is right and good, in ways that are best for our present and future, and with what will bring Him glory and honor. Best of all, He answers in ways that are always exceedingly and abundantly above everything we could ever ask or imagine through Christ. 

Let us pray genuinely, thanking God for His goodness and love, and pray trusting that His wisdom will do what is needed, when it is needed, and for His glory and our good. 

Keep the hope of Easter

 

“Dear friends, as He calls us up to Him, let us turn our backs to this world.  Let us take Christ as our Redeemer, as our Deliverer, as our Physician, as our Way, as our Truth, and as our Light.  May the blessing of heaven fall upon us all tonight; and may every man and woman here who is out of the kingdom, accept Him and press into His dominions.” — D.L. Moody

May our souls be set on fire with the power of the Holy Spirit and the freedom of everlasting life, forgiveness and love. Let us keep ourselves in the hope of the resurrection and fall on Christ 

Be encouraged

May God provide us with people who will help us remember all of God’s blessings, teach us more about His kindness and favor, and send up prayers that bless us with His word.  

May each of us be strong believers and compassionate encouragers, and have believers and encouragers around us, who will proclaim the nature and character and the goodness of the faithful God so that we will keep God at the center of our lives.
