He loves us that much. Incredible!!!


  



Today's Verse

Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
— 1 Chronicles 16:10 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What is your glory? Do you glory in your accomplishments, your wealth, your status, your looks, your piety, your humility ...? In the old hymn "Beneath the Cross of Jesus," we confess, "My glory, all the Cross." That's what Christians mean when we "glory in God's holy name." Our full understanding of God's holy name has been greatly expanded by Jesus. He taught us to not only reverence the name of God, but also to call him Father. Any other cause of joy, any other basis for boasting, is a passing illusion. For those whose hearts seek the LORD, glory is found in reverencing the holy name of the Father who gave up his precious Son so we could be his children. He loves us that much. Incredible!

My Prayer...

You have blessed me in so many ways, Father. How can I ever begin to thank you properly? I confess that I sometimes seek notoriety and glory for myself even though I know it is fleeting and often it is only the false flattery of those who want something from me. But deep in my heart, dear God, I know that my true glory is found in the adoption covenant you signed with your grace. Thank you! Words cannot capture my appreciation, but please know that I look forward to being eternally grateful for all that you have done. May the glory be yours in heaven and throughout the earth, both now and forevermore. In the name of Jesus I praise you. Amen.

Call to prayer, please, please, please join me tonight!!!

 
 Good evening, my post this eve will be very short as I had to have a molar extracted today and what should have been a simple extraction turned in to a surgical procedure which has left me in much pain! Even pain meds seem to not be touching the pain I am experiencing! If you would not mind please add me in your prayers for the pain to diminish and for the trob to become a dull ache!
     Today I was feeling as if my posts were falling on deaf ears, I was feeling like I was not touching anyone with the words that God places in my heart, I was feeling as if I was not hearing what God was saying in the way he was saying it as I felt that I was not putting in to words what he was needing others to read! I prayed to him this morning to give me a sign that I was doing well, that I was being obedient and following his word, that I was not understanding his lead! I received a post from a very special Brother in Christ letting me know that he enjoyed my inspiration and that it helped him throughout the day! Prayers were answered for me, I now know that I am doing what I am supposed to do, that I am touching someone who is in need of the very words I am writing...God is AMAZING!!!!
     Please join me this evening in lifting prayers for those who are suffering, struggling and feeling lost and alone, please say a special prayer for Brenda and her family as they say a final farewell to their mother, please continue to pray for my sweet friend who has infection threatening the very ability to keep her legs, for my friend whose nephew is suffering the ravages of the war, may his mental and spiritual health be restored, for those hurting from mother natures wrath whether it be fire, tornado, flooding...please I call upon each of you to get "on bended knees" along side our circle and pray with us this night! God bless you all and know that you are loved so very much:) Two prayer requests just coming in, one who is suffering the loss of a loved ones uncle, life became to hard for him and he has taken his own life, father you know his heart, you know his suffering and his pain, please pray for understanding for my friend her love and all who are suffering this loss. Also a very sweet sister in Christ is in the hospital and will undergo one surgery tomorrow and another in a few days, please ask our Mighty Healer to guide the hands of the surgeons so that their skill is supreme and ask for a speedy recovery, and full healing and for her to back to 100% soon! Thank you all for supporting me and for giving me the honor to pray for and with each of you! I love you all!


Prayer for Peace
O God, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us Thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in Thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord.

O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed; Give unto Thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that our hearts may be set to obey Thy commandments, and also that by Thee, we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
