🙌 It’s God’s desire that we not only trust Him but confidently rest in Him. When we do, we have God’s promise to have his “unbothered”, perfect peace (John 14:27). Redirect your thoughts, if need be, to focus on God’s love for you and on things that are true, honest, just, pure and lovely (Philippians 4:8). Allow God to mold your character and will into one that pleases and represents His kingdom accurately. We can expect God to intervene in our lives and to do great things, so rest and take refuge in Him. HIDE and take shelter IN Him, knowing that when you do, you can STAND boldly and confidently, knowing that He’s got your back.

☀️ Good morning new mercies! God has has blessed you with an entirely new set of them today. Yes…He is faithful and because of His faithfulness, we can be faith FULL; we can put our hope in Him. He is dependable and consistent, and His heart towards us is compassionate. So never tire seeking God’s direction and/or walking in His purpose for your life. If you’ve missed the mark, His grace is sufficient; if you’ve hit it, it’s still only because of His grace.

🙌 We serve a God who desires to perfect those areas that concern us (Psalm 138:8); and as a result, God - our Father - gives instruction and sometimes even discipline to us because of His love for us. Like any good Father, it’s His desire to grow and get better so that we can serve better as His representatives.
So never fret, get dismayed or annoyed at His instruction. One of the worse things in life is for one to go through life thinking you are wise or intelligent, but to viewed any others as foolish. Humility is one of our greatest assets. On God’s part, His “instruction” is a sign of His love. It should ignite an appreciation in our hearts. We should be honored to learn and receive it [God’s instruction]. SELAH and be sure to give God thanks for His unconditional love for you.

🙌 When the pressures of this world seem to be blowing in our direction , we have only to lean on God - our IMMOVABLE Rock. He steadies our footing and makes our way clear (Psalm 143:10) because He loves us and cares about our well-being and safety. In a spirit of gratitude for that love, we should honor Him through our words and deeds. He is a Holy and righteous God, and He cares about what we spend time meditating on (Philippians 4:8). May our thoughts reflect our respect and appreciation for His love, holiness and the sacrifice He made for us through His Son Jesus. Selah.

#UNBOTHERED … “not experiencing mental or physical discomfort”. We we place our confidence in our Father and Creator, we subsequently are graced with the ability to avoid anxiety and mental anguish. Even when it seems like the world around us has been shaken, we don’t have to be unearthed by those circumstances. God is our firm foundation, and when we stay rooted in Him, walking in obedience and in His purpose for our lives; we will live more productive, fulfilled lives. We will be better ambassadors for Christ because we honor Him. He sustains His children, breathing life into every area of their lives: emotionally, physically, and of course, spiritually. You can place ALL of your hope in God and live “unbothered” about how it will work out. God’s got you. Just stay sensitive and keep your spirit man built up all through the day. He will lead you and guide you every step of the way.

Have you been honoring God with the portion He has entrusted you with? Be content with the season and things that you have been given and trust and believe, God will honor His Word and you with an even greater portion. Be patient and trust God to reveal what you can learn in and from the season you’re in. He is a good God and is faithful to His promises. Hallelujah!
God didn’t haphazardly create you, so trust that He knows best for your life so trust Him for the wisdom and direction to walk out His plans for you life. You’re HIS masterpiece. God desires for all of His children to live the “good life”, but at the end of the day, it’s up to them whether they ever truly walk in it. Are you walking in the promises of God? He has a unique purpose for your life, but have you been obedient to His leadings and truly allowed Him to transform you from the inside out? We are so loved and treasured by our Creator.
🙌 Lord renew us and transform us so that we are ready to be used for your WORK today!

Reflect on and thank God for His love for you this morning. Appreciate His “leading” of your life (Psalm 23, Isaiah 30:21).

May we represent you and the family well today (Ephesians 2:19)!

HALLELUJAH, He has risen! And just as He has risen and conquered death, hell and the grave, He is well able to resurrect and breathe life into any dead situation, dream or aspiration in your life. As, He proclaimed: He IS the Resurrection (John 11:25)! He is worthy of ALL of the praise, ALL powerful, holy, righteous and true. There is NO ONE that compares to Him. If He said it, that settles it, and if He spoke it will come to pass. Jesus is alive and well, and He LIVES inside of you, so, don’t give up or give in. Place your confidence in Him and rest. He’s got you.

There is victory in our faith (IN Jesus Christ). You were qualified to be a “world overcomer” from the date that you were born again and accepted Christ into your heart. We’ve been given the victory to triumph and overcome the enemy and any hardship or circumstance that we may face while we are in this world because we are not OF this world! Our God is greater, and the Greater One lives inside of us, so we win! No matter what you’re facing, YOU WIN. God has already given us the victory and because He loves us, we’ve also been equipped with everything we need. He will provide for whatever He has called you to. He will give favor and wisdom when you need it, and He will make a way out of no way, if that’s needed. So, continue to persistently put your confidence in God and allow Him to give you direction and bring you through. #WorldOvercomer

God is love and true love literally drives out fear. We should have a desire to represent Christ and do the same as His ambassadors here on earth. Only God can truly transform and perfect us in His perfect love because He IS love. Once this is done we are better qualified as His ambassadors.
God help us to authentically represent you in our expressions of love to you by truly loving our brothers and sisters that we see here on earth every day. Thank you Lord for your love God! Give us a clean heart (Psalm 51:10) and perfect those areas that concern us (Psalm 138:8). Have a wonderful Friday!

🙌 God doesn’t want His children to waste time being anxious over the cares of this world or their own provisions. Our attitude and character should mirror our Fathers. So, don’t forget He is not only a “good” Father, but He’s a GREAT one. So “seek” after the Kingdom of God and His ways, and He’ll provide (Philippians 4:19). Come against worry and fear in the name of Jesus! You are in His hands and when you busy yourself with His business (Kingdom business), He’ll take care of yours. Release it to God and REST in Him.

If God said it, that settles it. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “settle” as “to fix or resolve conclusively; to establish or secure permanently; to sink gradually or to the bottom; to come to rest."
This offers us a colorful description of how we should receive any direction or leading from the Holy Spirit and every word that God has spoken to us through His Word [the Bible]. If He says that you are the righteousness of God, redeemed and set free, then that’s settles it: that IS who you are…NEXT! If He says that He’s given you the victory and that you have favor with Him and man, then it’s settled. Walk in obedience and trust His direction every step of the way. It’s past time that we let it “sink in” and “go to the bottom” of our hearts and minds: IT’S SETTLED. I don’t need a Plan B, I can depend on God. He is faithful, and His promises are sure (2 Corinthians 1:20). #ItsSettled #TrustGod AND #Rest

🙌 There is healing and breakthrough in your worship whether on your knees or through your daily walk with God. Allow God to transform you and your mind daily so that you will understand what His will is for your life. Trust and find comfort in the fact that He knows best for you.
