His Name Shall Endure

Meditation on Psalm 72:17

His authority and character shall endure forever; His character shall sprout new life perpetually--as long as the sun and human beings shall kneel, blessing God in thanksgiving, adoration, and praise. All nations shall call Him blessed!

God Speaks To My Heart

What is most valuable to you? What is most precious? Keep searching for what really lasts, for the value that grows forever. You will find Me!

"The Lord shall endure forever." Psalm 9:7 (KJV)

Longsuffering Of God

1 Peter 3:18-20.. (18)For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, (19)Through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison,  (20)who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water...

Meditation

The Messiah experienced extreme pain and died once for all our offenses. But He was made alive by God's Spirit, through whom Jesus went and preached to the souls imprisoned in hell, who had been willfully and perversely disobedient in the old days of Noah when God waited with patient forbearance.

God speaks to my heart

When moral and ethical standards of the world go down, there is less and less acknowledgment of a living relationship with Me, the patient but just God. Too easily My name can be used to "bless" many actions that are not according to My nature. So you much be in that listening place, like Noah. You can hear My direction for you today, and be cleansed of those false ways.

"The Lord knows how to rescue godly men." 2 Peter 2:9 (NIV)

GOD WILL CHANGE YOU

~Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand.~ Proverbs 19:21

Even though you may still be operating in old habits, you still have hope of change, but you can't change yourself. God will change you, if you seek Him with your whole heart.

Don't be in a hurry for God to finish working in your life. We want everything to be done instantly, but God is not interested in our schedule. The enemy may thwart your plans, but God's plans don't get thwarted, and He has a unique plan for you.

Seek God's plan for your life. Stay on fire, red hot, zealous. Pursue His purpose for you with every ounce of energy you have. There is nothing in this world that is worth seeking more.

Eliminate Excuses

~For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you.  Therefore shall your camp be holy, that He may see nothing indecent among you.~ Deut. 23:14

If a habit is controlling you, you will not enjoy the best that God offers you.  Don't make excuses for bondages that seem to have a hold on you. Denial and excuses will keep you from enjoying your life.

Whether is is an eating disorder or a bad temper, you cannot blame it on your genes or your family. God makes a way of escape for us and promises a good life for those who are born again. Claim your rights as a child of God. Say, "I am a new person in Christ; I can do all things through Christ who strengthes me" (see Philippians 4:13)
