And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 31:14)
The goodness of the Lord is able to satisfy all our soul-longings!
Without God, people go through life with an aching emptiness in their soul.
They search and search for something to satisfy it.
They exhaust every avenue of sin.
They seek love, acceptance, and identity and wholeness in things of the world.
Without realizing it, their soul is crying out for God because He created them to know Him intimately.
Only He can make us whole.
God created you to walk hand in hand with Him. He designed you to dwell in His company and feast on His goodness and bask in His blessings.
The more and more you pursue God in your relationship with Him, the more of His goodness you will come to know.
The goodness of His character and blessings will begin to saturate and satisfy you daily!
You will become permeated with His presence and people will see Christ shining in you and through, drawing those who do not yet know Him to discover Him.
Whenever we feel dissatisfied in our soul, it’s a sign and nudge for us to seek the Lord’s face.
He is never far away, but always close by waiting for you with open arms!
Any parched areas or gaping emptiness deep within us become quenched and made whole with His living water and flowing abundant goodness!
Today, feast on the Lord’s goodness and be satisfied!
Prayer: “Lord, how good you are! Only you satisfy my soul. Help me to dive deep into our relationship and receive the abundant blessings of your goodness!”
When I read this devotion it quickly reminded me of the importance to pursue God each and every day, only He can satisfy your soul.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

Praise Is Powerful

Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. (Psalm 150:1-6)
Praise is powerful.
In the Bible, the word “praise” occurs about 259 times and “worship” occurs around 188 times. That’s a lot!
What a wonderful reminder of how important it is to lift up praise and worship to the Lord.
After all, the reason God created us was to worship Him!
“This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” (Isaiah 43:21)
When we praise the Lord, it’s much more than singing a happy song. In the spiritual realm, praise and worship is also a weapon of warfare. Satan and his minions can’t stand it when we exalt the name of Jesus and praise the Lord. They have no choice but to flee.
Praising and magnifying the Lord’s name causes bondages to break loose, strongholds to come down, and chains to fall! It increases our connection with God, fortifies our spirit and brings freedom.
And praising God should not be something we only do on Sunday mornings, no, our lives should be saturated with it!
Praise Him when you awake.
Praise Him before you lay down to sleep.
Praise Him in the car on your way to work.
Praise Him while you cook dinner.
Praise Him in the shower.
Praise Him when you’re standing in line at the checkout.
Today, carve out time to lift up praise to God! He is worthy!
Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!
The Holy Spirit has been reminding me of this devotion each and every day since I read it. No matter what we are facing, we must exalt and praise Him, “Satan and his minions can’t stand it when we exalt the name of Jesus and praise the Lord. They have no choice but to flee.” No matter what your going through, no matter where you are at this very moment, turn up your praise music super loud or lift up your voice and praise Him, they have no choice but to flee. Praise is Powerful! Hallelujah!
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (John 13:34)
Jesus, You gave us the command to love others. At times, this is easier said than done. Please work within our hearts to transform our character so that our love begins to look more and more like Yours. Amen.
Lord, Here I am, send me. As The Father sent Jesus, so Jesus sends you. I pray you are encouraged today to seek Him so you can know Him more and reflect His love to others.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

In Need of Your Guidance

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12)
God, thank You for Your abundant forgiveness. I understand I’m not perfect and I am in need of Your guidance. Please correct me when I’m wrong, teach me to do the right thing, and hold me accountable. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
When I read this devotion it blessed me, short but powerful.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
