Feel like you need a little POWER boost this morning ? Not only will God provide you with the strength to sustain you throughout the day today, He will also provide you with the protection and security that you need, whether physically or emotionally. Run to Him, sit in His presence and rest! No need to put up your guards, your heart is safe with Him (Psalm 91:2).
He has already proven Himself to be a reliable place of shelter in the midst of the turmoils or busyness of life. You ARE divinely protected (Psalm 91:9-12). As you leave out of your home today (“earthly covering”) today, remember you have already stepped into "His shelter" in your mind and heart.

The more we deepen our relationship with God by allowing Him to teach us how to exercise good judgement and discernment in our personal lives, the better we get to know and strengthen our relationship with our Heavenly Father. When we embrace His precepts and make it a priority for the things that are dear to His heart to become close to ours, the more our faith is strengthened. His Word (the Bible) = His will = His heart. Keep your spirit man built up today and take the time “to know Him” a little better by reflecting on His Word. #HeWantsYouToKnowHimBetter

When we place our confidence in God and trust Him to lead our lives, we are cognizant of God’s love for us. The peace and joy that He’s given us access to is beyond our understanding (Philippians 4:7, Proverbs 3:5-6). He desires for our hearts to overflow with His love. Regardless of what’s going on around us, we can put our trust and hope in God. He anchors our souls when everything around us seems to be unstable. Our Father desires to lead our lives, give wisdom and bring peace of mind. May this bring joy to your heart today. God loves you.

As we see the day of our Lord’s return approaching, it’s important that we keep our eyes and hearts fixed upward. We have the promise of God’s PERFECT peace in the face of any circumstance that we may face when are walking in God’s will for our lives. Our identity is IN Christ (1 Peter 2:9, Philippians 3:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17), and just as He has overcome the world, so have we! Just as He is victorious, so are we! The joy of the Lord is YOUR strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and it's by that strength, you are able to accomplish every task before you today!

Have you taken any unresolved worries or fears to God? Place your energy - your faith and confidence - in God. You’re in good hands with Him. If you are a believer, then you are God’s child, and He desires for you to take those concerns to Him. Your Father is always with you, and since worrying about things serves us no benefit, why waste your energy (Luke 12:25-26)? Seek His wisdom and take your requests to Him. He wants to hear from you.

It is still God’s desire for us to put ALL of our faith in Him. After all, the fear and reverence of God is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7), right? We cannot access true wisdom - Godly wisdom - without God. God is all powerful; there’s nothing too hard for Him, and no one who can stand against Him (Romans 8:31). So, instead, trust God for His wisdom, wait for His guidance and place your confidence in Him. #HeIsAble
Whether in deed or conversation, we as believers have also been entrusted with the great responsibility of properly representing our Heavenly Father. Because the “Greater One” lives inside of us, and we have been called to GO into the world and share of God’s love with the lost (1 John 4:4, Matthew 28:16-20), it’s important to never forget that we may be the only physical sighting of the “Greater One” (Jesus) that some witness.
Daily, we have to make a conscious effort to represent Christ accurately, especially in our conversation. Our words have power and they are often birthed out of the abundance of the content of our heart (Matthew 28:16-20). Ask and trust God for help to use your mouth to glorify Him. It’s our privilege as believers.

☀️ As you prepare for the day, be sure to reflect on the mercy of God. He clearly demonstrated His love and grace through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus. It’s nothing that we did in and of ourselves, but through our salvation in Jesus, we have the freedom to live and walk around justified in God’s eyes. Not only do we have the gift of eternal life, but we have the benefit of having an actual relationship with Him and the privilege of receiving direction and comfort through the Holy Spirit on a daily basis.
Don’t lose sight of the benefits of that relationship. God’s love for you is profound (John 15:13), and He desires for you to live victoriously in life. Just trust Him for direction and favor and be sure to give Him the glory every step of the way.

Disappointed with people or circumstances right now? Tired of the deception in the world around us? Well, the fact still remains that our God is faithful! He is not a man that He can lie (Numbers 23:19). You can “take His Word to the bank”! You can trust Him because He is consistent, honest and true even when we are not. He is loving, patient and graceful where we may struggle. So, be encouraged!
Commit to stand on His Word through your words, thoughts AND actions. His Word brings LIFE and PEACE, so keep it before your eyes (Proverbs 4:20-22). As you stay connected to Him throughout the day, your spirit man is built up. He is faithful to lead, guide and give you direction and insight throughout the day.

God’s Word always encourages us to trust God and not to lean to our own understanding, regardless of how knowledgeable we may think we are in the process of our decision-making (Proverbs 3:5-6). God desires to give us “skillful and godly wisdom” - insight that we may not have been privy to otherwise. So, stay connected into your Spiritual Headquarters by praying in the Spirit. It’s your Father’s desire to give you direction and guidance for your life as you seek His will for your life. God’s got your back, and He knows your future. Put your confidence in Him.

Stay the course and allow God to develop your character and mature you. He is perfecting those things that concern you (Psalm 138:8), so don’t become overwhelmed trying to do it all in one day or do it all by yourself. Ultimately, you will find joy, hope and comfort as a result of the character that only your Heavenly Father can develop in you. So throughout the process, be patient and appreciate that it is a by-product of God’s love for you. #YouAreLoved
If you hadn’t already found something to be grateful for today, here’s one thing. Our future is secure in Christ - spiritually AND physically. 🙌🏽 We have NOTHING to fear or be worried about. What a glorious day that will be! Until then, let’s honor God with our time and make every minute count today.

He is fully aware of the past, present and future, and He knows what’s in your best interest. So wait patiently for His voice. He’s got you!

🙌🏼 We were created by God for His glory, and yet in still, He loved us so much that He gave His all for us (John 3:16)! So, it’s only reasonable for us to love Him with everything that is in us. When we place and keep God at the throne of our hearts, we position ourselves for Him to move on our behalf, to direct the affairs of our lives, to give us wisdom, strength, favor and His peace. We honor Him and give Him glory by acknowledging Him in all of our ways every day of our lives. So, don’t let today be any different. Love Him and give Him the honor He is due. #HeIsWorthy

The more we stay in the presence of our Heavenly Father and keep our spirit man built up, the more we will experience God’s joy and unexplainable peace [by the world’s standards]. Stay connected “upward” so that your spirit remains sensitive to receive direction for God’s path for your life. There’s no situation too big or small — He is faithful! So keep your faith active, continue to trust Him and allow His joy to strengthen you today.

Love truly does cover all (1 Peter 4:8). So, put on love as a cloak this morning. Our Heavenly Father truly is love, and His love bonds things together in harmony. So regardless of what you’re going through, just imagine His arms holding you and strengthening you today. Let His joy be your strength; He is well able to carry you through every situation and circumstance. Rest in Him. (Isaiah 43:2, Nehemiah 8:10).

Don’t miss an opportunity to appreciate your relationship with God. The sacrifice that Christ made for you and the benefits (including His peace) that you as a believer are able to experience as a result of that relationship is something to celebrate and be grateful for 🥳. We truly do serve a good God! There’s NO ONE like Him, and He loves you unconditionally. May you find peace in that today as you view every circumstance you face in light of that love and sacrifice 🙏.

Just as you read in the passage above, It is still God’s desire for us to put ALL of our faith in Him. After all, the fear and reverence of God is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7), right? We cannot access true wisdom - Godly wisdom - without God. God is all powerful. There’s nothing too hard for Him, and no one who can stand against Him (Romans 8:31). So, before you consult your intellect on making an important decision today, instead, trust God for His wisdom, wait for His guidance and place your confidence in Him. #HeIsAble
Through the power of the blood of Jesus, we have gained access to come boldly to our Heavenly Father. He hears your cry and your concerns. He knows if you have a desire for wisdom and discernment, and He will answer you. Don’t allow doubt to find its home in your heart. Stay connected to your Heavenly Father throughout the day by keeping your faith active and your spirit man built up. He will not fail you!
Did you know that it’s the heart of God that we stay connected with Him throughout the day so that He can lead us and give us wisdom?? In doing so, we also build up our spirit man. Our relationship with God is “the gift that keeps on giving”. Everything that we do [and the quality that we do it in] and even how we speak reflects our Heavenly Father. We are the hands and feet of Christ and the only “Jesus” that many will see. It’s important that we practice both trusting and asking Him how to best honor Him in our representation. We can trust His help with that as well. ☺️ #dailydevotional #commityourways #bible #encouragement #vcccharlotte
