Psalm 118:23-24 captivates me! I love when I wake in the morning hearing His loving kindness ministering to my heart. I love that we serve a God that has given us the ability to choose, the question is, "What will we choose this day?" Psalm 118:23-24 in the Passion says, "The Lord himself is the one who has done this, and it's so AMAZING, so MARVELOUS to see! 24 This is the day of the Lord that brings GLADNESS and JOY, filling our hearts with glee." Don't you just love this passage of scripture...His promise to you and I!

Psalm 118:23-24 captivates me! I love when I wake in the morning hearing His loving kindness ministering to my heart. I love that we serve a God that has given us the ability to choose, the question is, "What will we choose this day?"
Psalm 118:23-24 in the Passion says, "The Lord himself is the one who has done this, and it's so AMAZING, so MARVELOUS to see! 24 This is the day of the Lord that brings GLADNESS and JOY, filling our hearts with glee."
Don't you just love this passage of scripture...His promise to you and I!
We serve a loving God who's heart for our day is to CHOOSE to believe that nothing is impossible, to CHOOSE joy regardless of what it may look like, to CHOOSE to see the BEAUTY even in the mist of chaos. According to Ecclesiastes 3:11-13 (paraphrasing), He makes all things beautiful and there is nothing better for us than to rejoice. He desires us to eat and drink and SEE and ENJOY the good of all our labor, for this is the gift of God!
Whatever you may be facing today, know that God is good and He has already made provision for whatever you have need of. He is your daily bread (Divine Provider) and you can trust in Him but first you and I have to cast our care and CHOOSE to believe that He will breakthrough, just for you!
Blessings,

A few Saturdays ago I woke up fairly early and went on my walk at the park. As I began to walk I asked the Lord to lead me by His Spirit, that I would pray according to His heart, not mine and His plan, not mine. I committed to just pray in the spirit knowing that the Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth and He would sound in me the profound and bottomless things of God according to 1 Corinthians 2:9. As I was finishing up my last mile I heard these words rise up in my spirit, "You have entered into a new season. It's a season of reaping because of the weeping." I recall thinking, "Was that me??" and then I heard it again, "A season of reaping because of the weeping!"

Did you know that you and I are called and commissioned by the word of God to be an "Agent of Unity?" Matthew 5:9 says "Blessed (enjoying enviable happiness with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor regardless of their outward condition) are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons/daughters of God!" Unity in the Greek means to be united in soul, of one mind, one accord; to be co-spirited joined close together in tight identification. Peacemaker definition: A person who helps others solve a conflict and reach a peaceful solution; a person who tries to create harmony or make peace.

Philippians 4:13 (TPT) paraphrasing, "I am trained in the secret of overcoming all things. I find that the strength of Christ's explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty." What does it mean to possess an overcoming spirit? According to Philippians 4:13 in the Strong's Concordance it means, "Engaging the Resistance." This refers to the Lord strengthening you and I with combative, confrontative force to achieve all He gives faith for. This is, facing necessary resistance that brings what the Lord defines is success.
