All that I have seen causes me to trust the creator for all that I have not seen. I want to see each present moment as clearly as possible and enjoy the presence of God in it, and realize his steadfast love for me throughout all time!

When all is said and done what counts is your faith in Jesus as the Christ, the hope of heaven, and your realization that the father loves you.  His love is perfect, supernatural, unconditional and sovreign. Nothing can separate you from the love of God and nothing can pluck you from your father’s hand.

This is the will of God, the father, who loves us: that we should see the son and believe he is the Christ; that we believe and put our faith in Jesus as the Messiah, the Savior, the anointed one of God, the bread of life sent down from heaven to give life.

Musings:   It does not matter what others think or how they philosophize or excuse. I rejoice and I’m glad because, “Great is my reward in heaven. ”

I do not rejoice over ministry success or because even the spirits are subject to me in Christ, rather, I rejoice because my name is written in the lamb’s book of life. I rejoice because my name is written in heaven.

The sure anchor for my joy is that Jesus promises me great reward in heaven; “where moth can’t destroy nor thieves break in and steal.” My joy is safe and founded on god’s heaven. Thus he has freed me from the tyranny of worldly intrigue,  be it pain or pleasure; reviling or failure! In Christ all the answers are “yes and yes”!!

” joy overwhelmed fear and the miracle had been accomplished! ”

Today, Lord, thank you for the strength, the unction to comprehend, along with all your people what is the breath, and length, and height, and depth of your love for me; that I would know that you love me with a love that surpasses knowledge, that I would be full; filled with the fullness of Christ!

I know that you do exceedingly abundantly more than I can ask or think through your Holy Spirit who dwells in me. My Lord Jesus is at the right hand of God, my father, interceding for me, and nothing can separate me from the love of Christ.  In all the issues of life, I am more than a conqueror through Christ who loves me. I know my father through Jesus, who makes him known to me. I know that that divine love is in me, for God, my Father, dwells in me.

” Your eyes and your thoughts will be on something; choose the eternal, joyful, restful place of, hidden with Christ in God. ”

I bless the Lord with all that is within me. I bless his holy name. I remember his benefits; he forgives my iniquities, he heals all my diseases, he redeems my life from the pit and crowns me with steadfast love and mercy.  He satisfies me with good, and my youth is renewed like the eagles. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.  His steadfast love for me is as great as the high heavens above the earth. His steadfast love for me is everlasting. Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Prayer

Almighty and eternal God, so draw our hearts to you, so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations, so control our wills, that we may be wholly yours, utterly dedicated to you, and then use us, we pray, as you will, and always to your glory and to the welfare of your people through Jesus, The Christ, our Lord and Savior.

My refuge is in my Lord and I rejoice! I sing with Joy.

I give thanks to you, Lord, with my whole heart. I recount your wonderful deeds. I am glad and I exalt in you. I sing praises to your name, most high!

I trust in your steadfast love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I sing to you, Lord, because you have dealt bountifully to me.  Preserve me, oh God, for in you I take refuge. You are my God and I have no good apart from you. You are my chosen portion and my cup, indeed I have a beautiful inheritance.

I bless you, Lord, for your counsel. I set you, oh Lord, always before me; you are at my right hand and and I shall not be shaken.  Therefore, my heart is glad, my whole being rejoices; my flesh dwells secure. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forever more.  I love you Lord with all my strength.

I, indeed, derive my light from heaven, and to the measure of that Heaven born light,  I shine, preacher, shine! I shine in my place and I am content.  There are three stages to gods work: impossible, difficult, and done!

Lord, thank you, that you are present with me. Thank you for my wife’s touch which is like as if a lifeline, one thrown out to me by you, father, as directly as if you are present with me, which of course you are.

I bless the Lord at all times, his praise is continually on my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord.  I sought God and he answered me and delivered me. The angel of the Lord encamps around me and delivers me. The Lord is good! I have tasted Him and I know that! I take refuge in the Lord and I am blessed!!

I have died and my life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is my life shall appear then I will appear with him in glory. I have put off the old self with its practices, and I have put on the new self who is renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Christ is all and in all.

I am chosen by God. I put on a compassionate heart, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. I forgive as my Lord has forgiven me.  The peace of Christ rules in my heart. I am settled and established and not easily provoked. The word of Christ dwells in me richly, teaching and admonishing me in all wisdom.

I sing praises and hymns to you, father, with thankfulness in my heart. Whatever I do today in word or deed, I do everything in the name of my Lord Jesus giving thanks to God, the father, through him.  Whatever I do, I do it heartily as for the Lord and not for man. For I serve the Lord Christ!

The peace of God which passes all understanding mounts guard over my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. I fix my thoughts on those things that are true and honorable and just and pure and lovely and commendable and excellent. Only those things which are praiseworthy last; those are the only thoughts worth letting my mind dwell on.  What I have learned from God’s word and heard from his fellowship, these are the things I will dwell on and act on. By gods grace and power I am dailyly conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus. I am a reflector of his glory. The peace of God is with me, on me and flows through me!

I am filled with hope because God’s love has been poured into my heart through the Holy Spirit who has been given to me.  Jesus, the Christ, died for me while I was still lost in sin. By that God showed his love for me. I have been justified by Jesus’ sacrificial death and I am saved from the wrath of God.

For, if while I was gods enemy, I was reconciled to God by the death of his son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall I be saved by his life.  And even more than that, I also rejoice in God through my Lord Jesus, the Christ, through whom I have now received reconciliation.

The grace of God and a free gift, by that grace, from Jesus have abounded to me. I reign in life, God life, through the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness. Thank you, father.
