Grace

What’s the one thing in your life you cannot do for yourself?

Here’s the good news to tuck into our hearts today.

“He has said My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12: 9).

When I look at this precious treasure of truth within God’s Word, I am reminded…

The One who laid down His life for me, is willing to pour His life and strength through me.

And for you!

This is His promise to hold on to through all the seasons of our lives.

He—Jesus Christ, Lord and Master
has said— taught and encouraged
My Grace—gracious gift of favor, loving-kindness and power
is—right now in this moment
sufficient— more than enough to meet your need
for you—yes He knows you by name
for power— His power flows through our weakness like dynamite
is perfected—to finish and complete the process of our journey of faith
in weakness—human strength of body and soul

Thank you El Shaddai, All Sufficient Lord and Master for pouring your
strength and power through our weakness. Light up our lives today with
the radiance of Jesus and empower us as over-comers through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen. 

The Dust Of His Feet

Clouds are the dust of His feet.
No whirlwind or storm
can ever separate us from God’s Love.
For it’s at the feet of Jesus,
we receive mercy, grace and love.

The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds
are the dust of His feet. Nahum 1:3

See God in Everything

Fall colors

See God in everything whether great or small.
Trust His Sovereign will to all who will call.
Trust Him to guide and keep, never let you fall.
See God in everything whether great or small.

See God in everything…morning, noon, and night.
Trust His hand to lead from darkness into Light.
Remember He has promised never to leave or fail.
See God in everything, His promises prevail.

See God in everything when human reason speaks.
Trust His Holy Word to guard your heart and keep.
Peace that passes understanding, joy to fill your heart.
See God in everything and He will not depart.

See God in everything when pressures mount within.
Trust Him to guide and keep your heart from sin.
Cry out when you’re weary…He sees and hears your call.
See God in everything whether great or small.

See God in everything through the fog and din.
Trust the song He sings will give you joy again.
Run the race before you empowered by His Grace.
See God in everything and give Him all your praise.

I focus on this one thing; forgetting the past and looking
forward to what lies ahead, I press on to
reach the end of the race (Philippians 3:10-11 NLT).

Soul Rest

IMG_0099
I was waiting on God, then
realized God was waiting
on me. I was determined to trust
Him. I chose to believe to see
His goodness in the dark as I do
in the Light. 

Like Jacob of old I was clinging with soul-effort…
I will not let you go until you bless me.”
Then He called my name!
The One who called forth
the stars in the universe
called…my…name.
You, born again child of mine,
I called you from the valley
gave you increasing faith.
I led you to the mountain-top
where I tested you
more than you could know.
I opened the eyes of your heart
and let you see My Light
shining in the darkness
of your soul.
I waited for the bud of patience
to bloom in your heart,
Praise to move upon your lips,
and deep-down soul rest,
where struggles cease
and joy returns.
I sent Rhema Words,
opened your mind to understand,
Times of waiting are in My Father’s Hands.

Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage;
yes wait for the Lord
 (Psalm 27:14).

The testing of your faith works patience
 (James 1:3).

#Son-Light

When Son-Light chases darkness
and shadows run away,
look to the One who awakens,
and breaks forth new light of day.
When life and love surround you,
like wind-blown chimes above,
Go forth with your heart singing
welcoming songs of love.

In Him was life and the light of men (John 1:4)
