One of my favorite songs of late says – the fear of the Lord, is upon me, that that which He has in His mind nobody can change it. Just as Job wrote in Job 23v13&14:
“But He is in one mind, and who can turn Him? and what His soul desireth, even that He doeth.
For He performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with Him.”
Blessed be Your holy name O Lord – and because of that, I am not scared, because that which the Lord God Almighty hath appointed for me, He shall bring it to pass, and Lord we just submit to Your will and Your Lordship today and evermore, in Jesus name we pray.

Saturday, September 29th, 2007 - Count it all joy
It is a message we oft hear, and sometimes forget, but from last week, this message has been coming to mind, reading through it in James 1, and then a message on Sunday noted the fact of how we see trials - as hurdles to be passed, or as opportunities for growth. Yet again today, a friend sent out an email about this same issue. And so, whatever you are going through, remember the Bible says to count it all joy right there in James 1v2.
"Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations.
Be assured and understand that the trial and the proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience.
But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing." James 1v2-4 (Amplified Bible)
--
And may the Lord's grace be always sufficient for you, and His strenght made perfect in weakness, in Jesus name, amen.

Friday, September 28th, 2007 – No offence
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. We thank God for the bubbling sun here in Boston, Massachusetts – and hoping the weather is also as lovely wherever you are. One of the verses that I have liked for quite a while, is that in Psalm 119v165, which says:
“Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”
Hmm. Looking at it in line with Acts 24v16, where Paul was saying:
“And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.”
And Hebrews 12v14 which says:
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:”
Hmm. Do you see a trend here? We should strive to be at peace with all, not getting offended (or stumbling). Psalm 119v165 gives some insight into how this can be achieved – love the law of the Lord.
Have a blessed day.

“Those who love Your instructions have great peace and do not stumble.” Psalm 119v165 (New Living Translation)

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today – for Your goodness, for Your faithfulness, for Your lovingkindness. We thank You for we can sing Your praise all the day long. We thank You for life and for Your presence in our lives. Blessed be Your holy name forevermore. Father we thank You also for making provision for us not to be offended, nor to stumble as we have great peace from loving your law. We pray that You teach us to do Your will all the day long, every day and always to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, and also to desire the sincere milk of the Word in Jesus name. Lord of the harvest, we pray too that You draw people to know You. We pray that You help us to see people as You see them, with eyes of compassion, and help us to continually be a light to them. We pray also that Lord, You put a new song in our mouths, even of praise to You, that many will see and fear and trust in You. Daddy, let us increase in the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding in the mighty name of Jesus, that we might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit, in Jesus name we pray, amen.

Thursday, September 27, 2007 – Our dialogue
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. Listening to a cd today, the musician – Don Moen – introduced a song by saying – he believes God wants worship to be more of a dialogue, and not a monologue. That as we are saying Lord I love You and I bless You, we should allow room for Him to respond in affirmation that He loves us too and He loves to bless us. However, many times we may end up in the Father I thank You, Father I love You, Father bye bye, in Jesus name we pray, amen. I remember listening to a Pastor preaching on asking God for compliments or feedback. For example, saying Father, this outfit that I am wearing, what do You think, and through the Holy Spirit He tells you – it looks good, or the brown shoes will go better e.t.c. Or, Him telling us thank you for doing that kind deed to a fellow brethren or perhaps a stranger and more grease to your elbow.
Imagine having a friend right beside you whom you never speak to or appreciate or acknowledge. The Bible says:
“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” John 14v17
“Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.” John 16v13
The Holy Spirit of God is here with us and dwelling in us and telling us things from the throne room of God. COMMUNICATE with Him, love Him and remain blessed.
Have a very lovely day.
--
Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so so much for another lovely day that You have made, which we can rejoice and be glad in. We thank You for who You are and all that You do for us. We thank You for performing all things for us and perfecting that which concerns us. We bless and appreciate You for the precious gift of Your presence, of Your Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit we love You and thank You for Your presence here. Father Lord, we pray for the grace to be in constant fellowship with You – both to talk to You – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and to listen to You, in Jesus name. We pray for a more intimate relationship with You O God. We pray O Lord also that You draw those that do not know You to the knowledge of You and of Jesus. Holy Spirit have Your way in our lives. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God, in Jesus mighty name we pray, amen.

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007 – let them be accepted
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. Reading through a book the other day, the author was talking about how sometimes our words are so so harsh that they kind of drive people away. Then the author recommended that if this was your case, you could pray along the lines of Psalms 19v14:
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.”
And this is a prayer that we so often say and sometimes sing, that it could be easy to forget the fact that it is an actual prayer and a cry out to God that Father, let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, who is my strength and who redeems me. Basically, I cannot do it on my own but I really do want to please You in the things I say and the things I think, knowing that upon Your return, I will account for every idle word that I speak, and knowing too that out of the abundance of my heart, my mouth is going to speak, so Lord, my strength and my redeemer, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, in Jesus mighty name, amen.

Tuesday, September 25, 2007 – To avoid embarrassment
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. Okay so many of us do not like to get embarrassed – ah, not at all. Yesterday, I went for a class which I was not officially registered for, but was allowed to sit in on the class. Initially, I sat down with fellow students, a bit to the back. After a while, I noticed that more students were still coming in. To avoid embarrassment, I took my bag and went to sit on the window sill at the back. Now the Professor may have allowed me to sit where I was, while students taking the course as a class, sat on the window sill but …
Now the Bible is so complete, and we see in Proverbs 25v6&7 where the Bible cautions us that:
“Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.”
Have a very blessed day.

Verses for thought:
“It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.” Proverbs 25v27&28
--
Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today, we thank You for Your goodness and for Your faithfulness and for Your wisdom. We thank You for Your Word which You have given to us that we may know how to live wisely in the world. We bless and appreciate You. Father Lord, this day, we ask You for a spirit of humility, realizing that all that we have comes from You and all that we are, You have made us to be. Help us to remember that promotion cometh from none other but You. Hallowed be Your holy name forevermore. Blessed be Your holy name. Lord of the harvest, we pray too that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God. We thank You for today, praying that all that we do in word, thought and deed will glorify Your holy name, in Jesus mighty name we pray, amen.

Monday, September 24th, 2007 – How willing is willing?
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. People often say, when you do not have a giving attitude when you have a little bit, it will be even much more harder when you have a lot more. So the whole, ah, when I have more I will give more hardly works. We see that with God, He loves when you give Him willingly, cheerfully, no looking back kind of giving. Presently listening to a song saying … everything I have You gave, what I give You already have, … Yet, even though He owns everything and even if He was hungry, He asks us to honour us with our giving. We see this reflected in both the old and the new testaments.
“AND the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take My offering.” Exodus 25v1&2
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9v6&7
Have a blessed day.

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today. We thank You for Your lovingkindness and Your tendermercies. We adore and appreciate You for everything You are doing in our lives.

Father Lord, we pray that in any way we have been giving to You or for good works, grudgingly or of necessity, please forgive us. We pray for the grace to give willingly from our hearts and the knowledge of what it means to give willingly from our hearts. Have Your way in our lives o Lord. We bless You, we appreciate You and exalt You. We say Lord of the harvest, please send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few.

Saturday, September 22 , 2007 - Blessed
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. Well, a Bible verse that jumped at me today, is one that we see in the Psalms, in particular chapter 112v1&2:
"PRAISE ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed."
In a world of changing norms and beliefs and values, the Word of God still holds through that if you fear the LORD, and delight greatly in His commandments, you shall be blessed, and your seed shall be mighty. Never let go of Him. He is always, always, always faithful.
Have a very very very blessed day.
--
"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." Luke 6v37&38
--
Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today, we thank You for being with us, we thank You for guiding us, we thank You for protecting us and being our strength and shield, healer and friend. We bless Your holy name for such a beautiful day that You have made, as You always do. We thank You for life and the breath of life and food, clothing and shelter. We thank You for being acquainted with all our ways. We thank You, appreciate You and say we love You Lord. We praise You because as we fear You and delight greatly in Your commandments, You bless us and make our seed mighty upon the earth - among other things. How great Thou art. We thank You so much Father for everything, we are so grateful for everything that You do for us. We pray for the grace to not to condemn or judge people, but to give to them and to forgive. We ask that in any way we have been judging and condemning others, we say we are sorry and that Lord please forgive us - please do not let these stand against us in the day of judgment in Jesus name. Father Lord, we pray too that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Thank You Most High God. We really appreciate You Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Jesus mighty name we pray with thanksgiving, amen.

Friday, September 21, 2007 - Delightsome
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. Have you ever been known to be delightsome? Its the sort of word you say - that is actually in the Bible? We see this in Malachi 3v12, where after nations call you blessed, :
"And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts."
And we get all these blessings, when we bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in the LORD's house.
Have a great day
--
Verses for thought:
"Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." Hebrews 10v38&39
--
And so Merciful Lord, Daddy, we thank You so much for today, appreciating You for Your blessings and Your love for us, praying that now and always, in all that we do, we shall glorify Your holy name in Jesus mighty name we pray, amen.

Thursday, September 20, 2007 - And all nations shall call you blessed
Hello everyone,
How are you doing today? I hope well. I am fine and just happy because God is in control of each and every of life's situations. Can you imagine if everywhere you go, people call you blessed (happy, to be envied). You turn to the left, they say you are blessed and to the right - the same testimony. Well, that happens when you bring all the tithes into God's storehouse so that there will be meat in His house. Now, even though God had promised that He would pour you out a blessing that there would not be room enough to receive it, we notice from Malachi 3v12 that it is not only you who would know that God is blessing you, but others will see it too:
"And all nations shall call you blessed:..." Malachi 3v12 (King James Version)
"And all nations shall call you happy and blessed,..." Malachi 3v12 (Amplified Bible)
Want to be happy? Want to be blessed? ...
Have a blessed day.

[Of wisdom]
"Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed." Proverbs 3v17&18

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today. We bless You for Your goodness, for Your faithfulness, for Your lovingkindness, for everything. Be Thou exalted O God above the heavens, let Your glory be above all the earth. We thank You so much for Your Word this day and for blessing us so much that all nations call us blessed when we bring all tithes into Your storehouse. Blessed be Your holy name O Lord. We commit the rest of today into Your hands, and say Father, have Your way and let Your name and Your name alone be glorified in all that we do this day. Father, please draw men to know You and come to the knowledge of Christ and help us to be graceful labourers with You even now until Your coming in Jesus mighty and exalted name we pray. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God. We give You all the glory Almighty God, in Jesus mighty name we pray, amen.

Now, even though God had promised that He would pour you out a blessing that there would not be room enough to receive it, we notice from Malachi 3v12 that it is not only you who would know that God is blessing you, but others will see it too:
"And all nations shall call you blessed:..." Malachi 3v12 (King James Version)
"And all nations shall call you happy and blessed,..." Malachi 3v12 (Amplified Bible)
Want to be happy? Want to be blessed? ...
Have a blessed day.

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today. We bless You for Your goodness, for Your faithfulness, for Your lovingkindness, for everything. Be Thou exalted O God above the heavens, let Your glory be above all the earth. We thank You so much for Your Word this day and for blessing us so much that all nations call us blessed when we bring all tithes into Your storehouse. Blessed be Your holy name O Lord. We commit the rest of today into Your hands, and say Father, have Your way and let Your name and Your name alone be glorified in all that we do this day. Father, please draw men to know You and come to the knowledge of Christ and help us to be graceful labourers with You even now until Your coming in Jesus mighty and exalted name we pray. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God. We give You all the glory Almighty God, in Jesus mighty name we pray, amen.

Wednesday, September 19th 2007 - Before its time
"And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts." Malachi 3v11
"Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies." Malachi 3v11 (New Living Translation)
""For My part, I will defend you against marauders, protect your wheat fields and vegetable gardens against plunderers." The Message of God-of -the-Angel-Armies." Malachi 3v11 (The Message)
How horrible it is to be in a stage of almost. You put in a lot of effort into something, but before it comes into fruition, it is lost. God says, the LORD of hosts says, if we would bring all the tithes into the storehouse so that there will be meat in His house, He will not only open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that we will not have enough room to receive it, or rebuke the devourer for our sakes and not let him destroy the fruits of our ground, He will also not let our vines cast their fruit before it is time - He Himself will protect our investment.
Hallelujah!!!
Have a blessed day.

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - And our fruits
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. I am fine and settling into school. Now, according to Malachi chapter 3, in addition to God wanting to bless us so much that we do not have room enough to contain it, and He rebuking the devourer for our sakes, when we bring our tithes into His storehouse so that there will be meat there, God says:
"And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground;..." Malachi 3v11 (King James Version)
"And I will rebuke the devourer [insects and plagues] for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground...," Malachi 3v11 (Amplified Bible)
If God be for us, who can be against us? As the Bible says in Romans 8v31&32:
"What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]
He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give to us all [other] things?"
It is great to be on the Lord's side and not on the other side. Have a very great day.

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
Eternal Rock of Ages, Everlasting Father, King of kings and Lord of lords, the Most High God, Who is ever Most High, Who seeth all things, and with whom nothing is impossible. We adore You and glorify You, praising You for calling us to be Yours. We are indeed so grateful for all that You do in our lives. Thank You for life and love and freedom and Your presence. Thank You for being faithful. Thank You for being True and righteous and just. Blessed be Your holy name forevermore. We love You Lord. Father we thank You for Your promises of rebuking the devourer for our sakes so that he will not destroy the fruits of our ground, when we bring our tithes into Your storehouse, that there might be meat in Your house. We thank You also for blessing us with so much that we will not even have room enough to contain it. May we always with a willing heart and a grateful heart bring our tithes into Your house in Jesus name. Merciful Father we pray, that all that we do today, gives glory to Your holy name. Dear Lord of the harvest, we pray too that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Father, we keep ourselves in Your love this day, and look to the mercy of Jesus and bask in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, even now and evermore, in Jesus mighty name we pray, amen.

Monday, September 17, 2007 - Pesky little and Pesky big things
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. I am good and just learning to trust God more and more each day knowing He will never fail or forsake and that He orders our every step. On tithes, we see that in addition to God wanting us to bring the tithes into His store house, so that there will be meat in His house, and He wanting to bless us so much so that we will not have room enough to receive it, God also promises in addition, when we bring all the tithes into His storehouse:
"And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes .... " Malachi 3v11 (King James Version)
"And I will rebuke the devourer [insects and plagues] for your sakes..." Malachi 3v11 (Amplified Bible)
Devourers can be pesky little or pesky big things which when around, are so annoying. Sometimes you do not know or understand where they came from and to get rid of them will most likely be inconvenient for you, and cleaning up after them will also cost a lot. When we don't bring our tithes to the storehouse of God, we may find ourselves losing our income to pesky and inconvenient matters which you do not know how they came about, take a lot to get rid of and a lot to clean up after and the prayer is for God to grant us the grace to continually bring all our tithes to His storehouse in Jesus name, amen.

Sunday, September 16th, 2007 - Bring ye, bring ye
The Bible says in Malachi 3v10:
"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
Amazing. Ever wonder why you bring tithes to church again? Not for the sakes of anyone, but because God asked us to - yes, so that there will be meat in His storehouse, but yet again, for your own good. It is amazing that God Almighty who has the silver and the gold, who has the cattle upon the thousand hills and who when hungry, would not even tell you, would ask us to this, but there you have it, and may you be blessed as you do so in Jesus name with a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it, and may the good Lord grant us the grace to do so in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

On being heavenly minded
The Bible says in Colossians 3v1-3:
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."
Wow. The questions then arise as to how do we seek those things that are above? and what are those things which are above? What are these things that we can set our affection on? Things we can see - things we cannot see? And my life, is not here, but hid in Christ in God. So if my life is hid in Him, does that mean my flourishing will be in Him then?
The Amplified Bible says:
"IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.
For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.
Have a blessed day.

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We thank You so much for today, praising You for Your goodness, for Your faithfulness, for Your lovingkindness, for everything. We thank You for such a day as this which You have made, that we will rejoice and be glad in. Be Thou exalted O Lord above the heavens, let Thy glory be above all the earth. Blessed be Your holy name O God. Father, we thank You for our lives that are hid with Christ in God and pray for the grace to be heavenly minded, for the grace and the determination to set our affections on things above and not on things on this earth. We thank You for raising us with Christ. We thank You Father, Son and Holy Spirit and pray Thou Lord of the harvest, that You send forth labourers into the harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous but the labourers are few. We thank You for all these things Eternal Rock of Ages and pray all these in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

Friday, September 14th, 2007 - In the bond of togetherness
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. One of the Bible verses which holds a great promise for us as believers today, is that which says,
"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18v20
And that holds great power for us in terms of fellowship, encouragement, exhortation, supplication e.t.c.
Have a blessed day.

Lover of our souls, we give You thanks for this day which You have made, and pray that in all that we do, we glorify Your name. We pray that there continually and forevermore be the bond of unity among we Your children, and that through the love we have one for another, people will know that we are Your disciples. O Lord, we pray too that You draw men to the knowledge of You and help our lights to so shine before men that they may see our good deeds and glorify You who art in Heaven. We thank You Father, we thank You Son, we thank You Holy Spirit of God. All these we pray in Jesus mighty name with thanksgiving. Amen.

Pay thy vows
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. There is this song that I like, which goes along the lines of - You are God in Heaven and here I am on earth, so I'll let my words be few. Jesus I am so in love with You... But going through the Psalms, one comes across these verses which say:
"I will go into Thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay Thee my vows,
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble." Psalm 66v13&14
Hmm. Sometimes we are in situations we do not particularly find comfortable, or other times, we are in the heat of the moment and say - God, if You do this, or when You do this, I will do so and so and so. Hmmm.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 5v4&5:
"When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for He hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay."
Let us ask God to please bring to remembrance all vows we have made to Him but which have gone unfulfilled; and that He should give us the grace to pay them.

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007 - On Prayer
There is a song which we like to sing in church, whose lyrics are gotten from the psalms, going along the lines f - Hear my cry O Lord, attend unto my prayer, from the ends of the earth will I cry unto Thee, when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I... We sang it so much that it was hard for a newcomer not to be quite familiar with it, by the time they had attended our local fellowship for one month. Now, the great part is that God does hear our prayer, and as we see in the New Testament, when we pray in the name of Jesus, He answers us. John 14v13& 14 say:
"And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it."
Isn't that an amazing promise? So keep praying, keep pushing ... but bearing in mind that there is a possibility of praying amiss. So dig deep into the Word and pray along the will of God for you.
Have a blessed day.

"if I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
But verily God hath heard me, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer." Psalm 66v18&19

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We just want to thank You once again for the priviledge of being called Yours and the priviledge of being able to bring everything to You in prayer. We thank You for Your goodness and Your mercy and the opportunity to pour out our hearts before You, You being a refuge for us. Blessed be Your holy name O Lord. Once again we pray Father, that You send forth Your labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God. May You forever be glorified in all that we do in Jesus name, amen.

On Seeking
"When Thou saidst seek ye My face; my heart said unto Thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek." Psalm 27v8 (King James Version)
This is one verse which I really like. I love how God says seek My face, and the Psalmist replies - not with a reply of the mouth, but with his heart - almost saying, with all my being O Lord will I seek Thee. We see the Amplified version which says:
"You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word]." Psalm 27v8 (Amplified Bible)
Basically, the core of his existence is saying Lord, Your face, Your presence will I seek for, for without You ... When the Lord poses the question, seek ye My face. What part of you responds - your hands, your eyes, your mouth ... or your heart. Remember, God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.
Have a blessed day.

Our dearest Heavenly Father.
How majestic is Your name in all the earth. How awesome and kind You are. How great Thou art. There is none like You in all the heavens and in all the earth. None touches us like You do. How we love You, love being with You, love Your presence. You are awesome and we love You so much Father. Indeed when You say - seek ye My face, our hearts say unto Thee, Thy face Lord will we seek. Merciful Lord, we pray that the love that we have for You increases day by day, that You be our everything, the One to whom we look up to for everything, the love of our lives and the joy of our morning, the song that we sing. How we love to be with You. Lord, may Your name continue to be glorified in our lives and may we spread the savour of the knowledge of You to all the face of the earth in Jesus name. Lord of the harvest, we pray that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Lord, have Your way in our lives today and may Your name and Your name alone be glorified in all that we do in Jesus name we pray, amen.

What part of you responds - your hands, your eyes, your mouth ... or your heart. Remember, God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.
Have a blessed day.

Our dearest Heavenly Father.
How majestic is Your name in all the earth. How awesome and kind You are. How great Thou art. There is none like You in all the heavens and in all the earth. None touches us like You do. How we love You, love being with You, love Your presence. You are awesome and we love You so much Father. Indeed when You say - seek ye My face, our hearts say unto Thee, Thy face Lord will we seek. Merciful Lord, we pray that the love that we have for You increases day by day, that You be our everything, the One to whom we look up to for everything, the love of our lives and the joy of our morning, the song that we sing. How we love to be with You. Lord, may Your name continue to be glorified in our lives and may we spread the savour of the knowledge of You to all the face of the earth in Jesus name. Lord of the harvest, we pray that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Lord, have Your way in our lives today and may Your name and Your name alone be glorified in all that we do in Jesus name we pray, amen.
