PRAISE IS WHAT I DO

Shhhhhhhhhhh, Hush and Be Still

VERSE: He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Hush, be still. Mark 4:39

THOUGHTS: Oh how many time has God ask you to hush and be still? How many times have you disobeyed? How many times have you made decisions ahead of God s timing? These questions may be hard to answer. Or perhaps, like me, there were too many times in my life that I went ahead of God s timing.

The scripture above reminds me to wait on God s answers and His timing. He alone has the mighty power to rebuke the winds in our lives. He alone can handle trials and tribulations instead of us struggling with what to do. He alone has all the answers and knows our future. He alone. Won t you hush and be still as He works in your situation? He will let you know when to step in and what to do when the time comes. Allow Him the honor of taking you through His plan as you wait. God bless.

I GOT THE BEST GIFT

VERSE: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father…” (James 1:17).

THOUGHTS: God has so many good and perfect gifts in store for you. Not only does He offer eternal life through His Son, Jesus, but the Bible is filled with His generous and abundant promises in this life. He wants to bless you with provision and supply all your needs according to His riches in glory. He wants to pour out His abundant favor on you and cause everything you do to prosper. He wants to bless you with spiritual gifts to make you strong in your inner man. He wants you to enjoy your job and be proud of your work at the end of the day. These are all gifts from God. Every good gift from God is meant to draw us closer to Him. Often times, people have a picture of God shaped by experiences that have happened in the past, or experiences with their earthly father. I encourage you today to let go of any past ideas and see God according to His Word. He is good and faithful, and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him! Seek Him today and experience the life of blessing He has in store for you!

PRAYER: Father in heaven, thank You for Your good and perfect gifts. I open my heart to You today and ask that You help me see Your goodness so that I can know You more. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Choose Blessings......

VERSE:“I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live…” (Deuteronomy 30:19).


THOUGHTS: God desires that you live in blessing in every area of your life. He’s given promises in His Word and has established a plan for you to live in total victory. He promises to give you the answers, but you have to be the one to decide to obey His voice. You have the final choice, so choose life and blessing! Every time you choose to obey the Word of God, you are choosing blessing. When you put God first in your life; when you walk in love towards others even when it’s difficult, you are choosing blessing. When you turn away from ungodly influences and when you give to others, God will pour out His blessing on you in return. Start today and do what you know to do. Obey His word and His blessing will overtake you! You’ll rise higher and higher and live the abundant life He has for you.


PRAYER: Father in heaven, today I choose life. I choose blessing by obeying Your Word. Keep me close to You so that I can honor You in all I say and do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
