Are You Thirsty Today?

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. (Psalm 63:1)
We thirst for God much more than we realize.
Without knowing it, we thirst for more awareness of His rich presence in our lives.
We can strive to satisfy this soul thirst with a sense of control by planning our futures, making decisions too early, and with worldly pleasures. If we find our minds idle, there are plenty of distractions to fill it.
This soul thirst can only be satisfied by the living water of the one true living God.
When we are caught up in the whirlwind of the world’s fast paced lifestyle, we will soon find ourselves beyond parched.
This is when we must pause and remember to be present.
The Lord longs for you to be present in His presence.
This is where His presence awaits you continually.
When you choose to put aside tasks awaiting to be done and turn your attention towards Him, He rejoices!
Are you thirsty today?
If you’ve felt burnt out and parched in your spirit, the Lord wants to quench that thirst and refresh you with His abundant source of strength, peace and joy. Without Him, we are bound to faint in the dry and desolate land that is the world.
Allow Him to lead you beside still waters, and restore your innermost being with His love!
I felt this was a powerful devotion. I pray as you read it you are encouraged to allow Him to lead you and restore you.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

Rejoice in the Lord alway

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. (Philippians 4:4)
How wonderful is this truth?
The Lord is the source of our joy and strength!
We don’t have to put pressure on ourselves to try to dig up joy where it cannot be found. God has everything we need in this life and beyond!
Because we have been united with Christ, He is the giver of our hope, peace, comfort, joy and strength.
Even in difficult seasons, you can still have His joy.
His word says to be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life!
We don’t have to wait for life to be perfect and problem-free in order to access all that He has for us. Since He is always with you, the joy and peace of His life-changing presence is always available to you.
When you accepted Jesus into your heart, He sanctioned you to rise above all circumstances of life. As children of God, we are not held down by the weight of the world.
As you go through today, ponder on what He has done for you and all He’s already given.
Whispering His name and saying, “Jesus, you are my joy” is all it takes to remind you of His never-changing presence.
This devotion blessed me, I pray it encourages you to whisper, “Jesus, you are my joy”.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

My Times are in His Hands

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
There is a time for every season in our lives, and God is our ultimate guide through those seasons.
Sometimes we may know exactly what the next step is, and we long to spring into action before God gives us the green light. Or on the other hand, sometimes we may know God has given us the nudge to move along, yet we choose to dig our heels into the ground.
Change can be scary, especially if we’re going from a comfortable season into a new one of uncharted territory.
However, knowing that God is with us even in the unknown, we can have peace. We can trust Him in every season, familiar and new. Exciting and scary.
The course of our lives is in His power!
“My times are in thy hand…” –Psalms 31:15
Wherever the Lord leads you, choose to cling to Him no matter what. He’s got you, and He’s not letting you go. Ever!
He holds every one of our moments in His hands, and since He knows what’s best for us, we can choose to follow Him wherever He leads in delightful obedience.
Have you been stepping into a new season lately?
How do you feel? Are you excited? Scared? Unsure?
How do you feel? Are you excited? Scared? Unsure?
Whatever is on the other side of the new season, you can know that everything will be okay because He is going with you and before you!
When I read this devotion it blessed me so much. We are all facing a season in our lives and our seasons all look very different but one thing is the same, everything will be okay, because just as todays devotions explains so powerfully, He is going with you and before you. Hallelujah! What more reassurance is needed.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

Delight in God
03
Mar '22
Psalm 119:89-95
Recalling God’s faithfulness and control over everything that touches us gives us strength to walk with God even when we feel like giving up in despair. After all, our feelings and circumstances have not changed God. He is perfectly capable of sustaining us if we will only let Him. We simply need to choose to delight in and diligently consider God’s precepts (His principles and character) despite how we feel. Choosing to delight in God might not be easy. It might even involve hard work. But only God can revive and save our soul from spiritual lethargy.
Next time you feel spiritually drained or inadequate, remember that you have a choice. You can wrap yourself up in excuses and self-pity, or you can choose to draw your strength from an unchanging God.
When I read this portion of a devotion I felt someone needed to read it and be reminded of it’s words. So powerful. You have a choice.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
