So  we  thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give  thee   thank s for ever:  we  will shew forth thy praise to all generations. - Psalms 79:13 The Lord is blessing me right now, Lord right now. Another day to live and serve. Right now wherever we are, no matter the situation, God is with us right now.  There is no need to make an appointment. The need is being handled right now. It does not matter what it looks like, it only matters “what it is.” The truth is, God is the Lord of “right now.”  There is no second, no minute, no hour that God is not present.  He is our ever present help in trouble. Praise God for right now. God bless.  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie 

Remember, O L ord , thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;   for they have been ever of old.   Remember not the sins of my youth,   nor my transgressions:   according to thy mercy remember thou me   for thy goodness' sake, O L ord . - Psalms 25:6-7 Lord God we come to you in prayer. We thank You for your steadfast love and care for us. We come to you on behalf of the men, women and children who are suffering in other parts of the world.   You have told us in Your word to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.  Our hearts are touched with the deep grief and pain being experienced by those whose lives are forever altered through war. Please Lord God have mercy. Hear the prayers of Your children.  We know that You alone have the power to make a change. Father God teach us how to pray.  Grant that in the midst of all we see that we remain mindful of the blessings you bestow upon us. Let us be compassionate  and lo...

               Pray without ceasing. - 1 Thessalonians 5:17 kjv Prayerful thinking. Acknowledge the Lord in all ways. Prayer filled thoughts. Prayerful. There is power in prayerful thinking. This way of thinking is a continuous conversation with God. It is working to align our thoughts with God’s will. It is a thought process that informs our decisions. Prayerful thinking, prayer filled actions. The result, ordered steps.  What does prayerful thinking “look”like?  Think, I’m thankful. Ask for mercy. Think, Lord help. Bless my family. Think prayerful  thoughts for others as they come to mind during the day. Prayer in the place of road rage. Help me Jesus. Prayerful thinking is filled with acknowledgment of the “whatsoever” things. Prayerful thoughts  focus on what is true, pure, praise worthy.  There is power in prayerful thinking. Peace in prayerful thinking. Pray without ceasing. Think prayer filled thoughts.  God bl...

  Psalm 118:24 -  King James Version   This is the day which the  Lord  hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. This is the day! This day is the day!   The Lord has made it.  We will not waver in how we consider this day.  We will rejoice, this day.  We will be glad, this day.   We will not be distracted by our circumstances.  Circumstances may be favorable or unfavorable.  Both can distract us.  But, this day, we will focus.  On this day we will look up. On this day we will be thankful.  We praise God that He has given us this day. We made it through the night.  We were blessed to "see" the morning.  Our heart is beating. Our mind is functioning.  The sun is in the sky.  The birds are singing.  Squirrels are scurrying. Air is available for breathing.  This day.  I am talking about, this day. Sure,  we have concerns.  Yet, we are assured this day that t...

  “While the earth remains the, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”          - Genesis 8:22 kjv The preacher spoke yesterday about “Sacrifice After the Storm”. Genesis 8:13-21 was the text. Todays verse 22 was also referenced.  The preacher spoke about how God prepared Noah for the storm. He advised him that in seven days, it was going to rain for 40 days and 40 nights.  We were admonished to consider Noah and what he may have been subjected to as he labored to build a boat in preparation for rain when people around him did not know rain.  Noah believed God and kept on building. Noah and those on the boat rode the storm under the watchful protection of Almighty God.  We were told that not only was rain coming down from the sky  waters were also rising up.  From top to bottom the water poured.  When we think about the storms of life, we realize they can be all...

  Ephesians 2:8-9 -  King James Version 8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of  God:   9  Not of works, lest any man should boast. Salvation. It is the gift of God.  It cannot be earned.  The terms cannot be negotiated.  Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God.  Salvation comes through Him.  The grace of God provides salvation.  Christians are aware of this fact. It is good, however, to pause and reflect.  This is what I find myself doing today.  I thank God for His grace.  His grace manifested itself in so great a love for us. Grace.  By that grace He sent His Son.  Glory to His Name.   We are saved by grace through faith.  The gift of God. It is not about us.  It is about Jesus.  Jesus, the Gift of God.   The Gift of God, Jesus. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

  Psalm 29:3 -  King James Version The voice of the  Lord  is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the  Lord  is upon many waters. Rain falls. Thunder roars.  Rivers flow. Brooks babble. Streams ripple. Lakes stand. Oceans deep. Many waters. Listen to the voice of God.  All creation speaks of His goodness.  His greatness surrounds us.  The voice of the Lord like water can present itself in many ways. We must listen.  Many waters. His voice falls gently or in torrents. Raindrops and showers are His. He speaks loudly and with great authority.  Thunder commands our attention. The lakes, the rivers, the brooks and springs, beckon us to be still and pay close attention.  God's voice is everywhere.  Many waters remind us of the majesty of God.  The waters speak of His love and tell of His grace. We pray then, O Lord shower us with Your peace. Rain mercy in our lives. We are listening Lord.  Many waters. G...
