We surrender our lives to The Lord and commit to living according to His will. “Thy will be done…” Amen. We lift praises of thanksgiving to the heavens because we are blessed to be surrounded by the unconditional Love of our Heavenly Father.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Christians are commanded by God to give thanks in everything, every day.

PSALM 103:1-4

Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all His benefits — who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.

COLOSSIANS 2:6-7 (NKJV)

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

ISAIAH 12:4-5 (NASB)

And on that day you will say, “Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; make them remember that His name is exalted.” Praise the LORD in song, for He has done glorious things; let this be known throughout the earth.

JAMES 1:17

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

1 CHRONICLES 16:34 (ESV)

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!

HEBREWS 12:28

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”

PSALM 95:1-5 (NKJV)

Oh come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the LORD is the great God, and the great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth’ the heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; and His hands formed the dry land.

PHILIPPIANS 4:4-7

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

PSALM 118:24 (ESV)

This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

COLOSSIANS 3:15-17

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

1 CHRONICLES 29:13 (NKJV)

“Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name.”

EPHESIANS 5:18-20 (NASB)

… but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our God and Father.

PSALM 107:1-3 (ESV)

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever! Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

HEBREWS 13:15

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise — the fruit of lips that openly profess His name.

PSALM 119:1-8

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.

Blessed are those who keep His statutes and seek Him with all their heart — they do no wrong but follow His ways.

You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands.

I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws. I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:15

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

This is God’s will for our life. Each day, He fills our hearts with peace as we make our way through the world. We are dependent on His Presence and thankful for His unfailing Love.

And we pray:

Dear God, we are thankful for Your daily Love and support. We have chosen to commit our hearts to You and will continue to live accordingly to Your will. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Wisdom – Priceless!

Advertisements

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

Is your judgment clouded by guilt, shame, or fear? Confess these things to God and ask for forgiveness.

Ask: Ask God for wisdom to make the best choice. “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, Who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you” (James 1:5).

3 Bible Stories That Can Give Us A Biblical Perspective On Making Tough Decisions

Are you pressed between a rock and hard place with a difficult decision that feels impossible to make? Maybe there’s no easy path or obvious answer to your dilemma. And maybe you’re paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice. If that’s you, you’re not alone.

Making tough decisions can be difficult. Check out 3 Bible Stories that give examples on how to navigate those challenging moments.

Growing Faith

Are you pressed between a rock and hard place with a difficult decision that feels impossible to make? Maybe there’s no easy path or obvious answer to your dilemma. And maybe you’re paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice. If that’s you, you’re not alone.

Let’s take a look at three Bible stories to learn how to make tough decisions and feel confident in our next steps.

Pray – Jesus Chooses His 12 Apostles

Read: Luke 6:12

The Story:  Jesus had many followers–people He taught about following God. They were His disciples, or students. But He wanted to choose twelve men to be His closest followers, His apostles, to go out into the world to spread the gospel.

When faced with the choice of which men to select, Jesus chose to pray. In fact, He prayed all night. The selection of these twelve men was significant, and He wanted to seek the insight of His Father to make sure He was choosing wisely.

The Point:

When you’re faced with tough decisions, you should ask God for wisdom to do what’s right. Then follow what He’s prompting you to do. If talking to God is new for you, and you’re not sure where to start, try the P-R-A-Y method (Praise, Repent, Ask, Yield) of prayer.

Praise: You are loved by God, creator of the universe. Thank Him for who He is. He has brought you through tough situations in the past, and He will be with you through this decision too. God is already on the other side of whatever circumstance you’re facing. And He will help you walk through whatever lies ahead.

Repent: Ask for forgiveness for anything that’s standing between you and God. Are there sins affecting your ability to make the best decision? Is your judgment clouded by guilt, shame, or fear? Confess these things to God and ask for forgiveness.

Ask: Ask God for wisdom to make the best choice. “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you” (James 1:5).

Yield: Be still and listen to what God is prompting you to do. As you sit quietly, pay attention to the nudges in your heart and mind. If you feel a tension about one of your options, dig into that feeling. God uses tensions to speak to us, so pay attention to the tension. Then move with confidence in the direction God is prompting you to choose.

Your Next Step: Which family members need your loyalty? Who can you show up for today? Send them a text and express your love and loyalty.

Seek Advice from Godly People – Rehoboam

Read: 1 Kings 12

The Story: After King Solomon’s death, his son, Rehoboam, became king of Israel. With the crowning of a new king, the people hoped for some changes. In fact, they were worn down by Solomon’s heavy tax burdens and harsh labor. They wanted some relief. When asked how Rehoboam was going to lead the nation, he wanted to take a few days to make his decision. Was he going to keep a tight rein on the people, like his father had, or would he choose to lighten the load?

Initially, he spoke with wise elders of the community, who said it would be beneficial for him to ease some of the restrictions and give the people a break. However, Rehoboam then consulted young men his age, who suggested making restrictions even more intense for the people. These young men proposed higher taxes and harsher working conditions. If his dad was a tough king, they thought he should be even tougher.

Rehoboam decided to ignore the wise counsel of the elders and instead listen to the immature notions of his peers. And that choice cost him dearly.

The Point: Instead of listening to wise counsel, Rehoboam chose to follow the musings of his immature friends. These friends wanted to flatter him with answers they thought he wanted to hear. Often we seek advice from people who will tell us what we want to hear. We don’t actually want to listen to wise counsel, we just want someone else to say what’s already in our head. There is incredible danger in that. When looking for help in making tough choices, consult people who are wise, mature, and unbiased. Avoid seeking out people who will just tell you what you want to hear.

Your Next Step: Who are wise, godly people you can talk to about your decision? Set up a meeting or call them today.

Trust God – Abraham and Isaac

Read: Genesis 22

The Story:

Abraham was a man who loved God. And although he was old and his wife was past the child-bearing years, God promised they would have a son. They waited for a long time for this blessing, and they trusted God in the meantime. When their son was born, they were filled with joy and thankfulness. They loved their son.

Years after their only son was born, God spoke to Abraham and told him to do something impossible. God told Abraham to sacrifice his son as a burnt offering. Abraham had to choose between obeying God or saving his son. Abraham was prepared to obey God, but at the last second, an angel of God told Abraham to stop. God wanted to see if Abraham would be faithful to Him. And he was, despite being faced with an agonizing decision.

The Point: God gives us opportunities to show how much we trust Him. It might not be as shocking as what God asked Abraham to do. But He wants us to be faithful and trust Him. Maybe you’ve worked your whole life to build the company of your dreams, and God is asking you to set it aside for a different career path. Maybe you’ve dreamt of moving to the country and owning a big, beautiful home in the ‘burbs, but God is asking you to stay in the city in your little row home. God often prompts us to demonstrate how much we trust him. Do we trust Him with our money? Our careers? Our families? Our future? Is God asking you to sacrifice something to demonstrate your trust in Him?

Your Next Step: If God is prompting you to trust him with the decision you’re facing, do it. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

And we pray:

Father LORD, EL Shaddai. You are My ALL, Amen. You Word says:

Each and every day there are decisions I need to make; true wisdom comes only from Your Essence. You Created ALL things with Your Word! You are The Source of wisdom. Father, Your Word says if I lack wisdom, I should ask and You; The Source of all wisdom shall give. Father LORD, I ask You for wisdom to guide me in all I do. Your Spirit is within me, in my life LORD be Thou glorified I pray in Jesus’ Name, Amen. Father, in my life- Your will be done I pray and decree in Jesus’ Name, 🙏🏾 Amen.

Repost – – – CHILDREN OF GOD…BE COVER YOU

Advertisements

The enemy tries to test your walk with Christ by getting you to respond out of character to his petty actions towards you. He will use strangers, family and friends to provoke you to act out of who you are trying to be. God’s Spirit will teach you how to respond to the enemy and the people he uses, without displeasing God in the process. Pray quickly before you respond to nonsense. Sometimes, no response is the most powerful response.

Be blessed with peace and joy, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
