Good morning, Lord
Father in Heaven, I seek You first-the knowledge of Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Fill my consciousness constantly and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…
Memory verse: 1 John 1:8–9
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
Verse of the day- Philippians 3:20
20 “We, however, are citizens of heaven. We look forward to the Lord Yeshua Christ coming from heaven as our Savior.”
Desiring The Visit
Summertime brings excitement to grandparents for the coming visit with the children and grandchildren. We see it all around us. The grandparents go there or the grandchildren come here after grand plans have been made-to go to the movies together-to go to the river together-to make certain meals together-the point being to have delightful experiences together.
This is all because of one thing-one word-LOVE. I am so excited to see my grandchildren and they are so excited when they finally see grandma and me that they laugh and run and reach and giggle and hug. This is sheer delight on both sides. All that anticipation-all that hope that it all happens-has been realized. The most precious time in all the visit is the time spent face to face-eye to eye with each one-our attentions on each other.
“We rejoice in hope of the glory of the glory God” Romans 5:2
“God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Rom. 5:5)
God loves us endlessly and is patient with us. He is perfect in His excitement about His creations(us) taking time to meet with Him secretly.
Isaiah 30:18-"Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him."
This brings us to a very real prayer need-that we will be excited to be in God's presence-the anticipation that exceeds any desire we have on this earth.
If you have this great desire, then pass this on to someone else, But if your desire-as mine-falls short of the glory of God, then make it a deep matter of prayer. God will not fail You-ever. Even in the darkest of times in my life-God has cleared my mind in the midst of the worst pain and the Holy Spirit has shown me relief in His glory.
If you consistently ask and seek Him, He will show you delight in His presence.
...because He loves us...He will do it...
Father in Heaven,
Your name is above all names and ,Lord, teach me to honor you more and to be filled with excitement to meet with You in Your kingdom glory. I ask for Your bread for today, Your forgiveness and for me a spirit of forgiveness as I depend on You for power to battle sin.
God of all glory and all hope and all love,
In the name of Christ Jesus,
Amen
