The Proud

1 Peter 5: 5

Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older.  All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Someday it will come your way and hopefully you are able to deal with it.  Many people are really proud and have strong personalities, I take myself, I didn’t think that I would ever be humbled.  Guess what?  I have been humbled and now I need to stand before my God and only He can do the impossible for me.

Some days are ok and others are just really bad but I will come before my Lord and Saviour and trust in Him.  Yeshua hamashia!!

Enemies: Lamentations 3: 61 – 66

Lamentations 3: 61 – 66

O LORD, you have heard their insults, all their plots against me – what my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long.  Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs.  Pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, for what their hands have done.  Put a veil over their hearts, and may your curse be on them! Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.

When people slander and speak ill towards you keep these words in Lamentations which was written by Jeremiah.  Yes we are going through difficult times and these people slander and speak ill of you, but don’t be sad, pray and ask the LORD God to change your situation.

Have a lovely day may God bless you!

Self-hatred and Self-bitterness

Proverbs 4: 24 

“Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.”

 

Preaching to myself today, I have the ability to be self-destructive, I have been taught to always put myself down and say the worst things about myself and then I vent it against the people I love.  I seem to forget how much God loves me, have I not accepted the Lord’s unconditional love?  Have I not accepted that I am the righteousness in Jesus Christ?  When will this revelation of the Lord’s love take root within me to know that I may love myself and accept whom I am?  Getting rid of bitterness, strive and so many other things, isn’t that easy.

Emotional Development

Lord God, it is my desire to please You, but most of all I pray that as the Creator of my body and mind, that I can learn to stay emotionally healthy and strong.   May I pray and ask You Lord to help me deal with my anger, when I am angry help me take control and find peace.  If I feel confused may I pray for clarity and focus.  When I feel dark shadows enclosing may I see a ray of hope.  Fill me Lord with Your Holy Spirit and may I feel the warm presence of You in my life.  

 Amen

Take refuge in the Lord

Psalm 25: 20 ‘Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame for I take refuge in you.’

Father God please guard my life.

Lord please rescue me

Lord please dont let me be put to shame

Lord I take refuge in YOU.

 

Baruch haba bashem Yeshua Hamashia, Lord God, I worship and praise Your name.  Amen

Looking for life and receiving the Lord's favour.

Proverbs 8: 34 – 35

‘Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, for whoever finds me finds life and receives favour from the Lord.’

To grow spiritually, you need to stay focused and concentrate solely on the Word of God, in doing this I believe we are listening to the LORD, by doing that we are watching daily at His doors.  It is my desire to find life and receive favour from the LORD. 

May the LORD bless you today!
