Keep me focused on You, Lord! Keep my heart tuned to Your heart as I walk the path of steadfastness that You, Lord, have laid out for me as I follow your Word and its instruction.

I desire to operate daily with you. "Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread." I desire to know, live in, and give away the truth. You are my provision and cornerstone.

William Carey – “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God!” I wonder this morning what it is that we’re expecting and attempting that’s bigger than we are? I reminded someone this week the only reason the widow’s oil ended was because of the number of pots that she gathered. Maybe we’re not gathering enough pots!

“Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?” declares the Lord. “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.” – Isaiah‬ ‭66‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV

1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 ESV  “2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, 3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, ... ” What would your life be like if you viewed people from this perspective?

Romans 8:31-39 1. God is for us! 2. Jesus died for us! 3. We are justified! 4. Jesus lives for us! 5. Go holds us! 6. We are overcomers!

“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The antidote to all our issues is Praising the Lord! As we read and proclaim Psalm 148 and 150, let's loudly rejoice and Praise the Lord!

"...that does not doubt in their hearts but believes..." What an insight into what faith is! Now put that faith in action in prayer in asking, believing and forgiving others as you have been forgiven. Why hold onto a grudge or hurt when you can release it for more of God's work in your life.

Thank you, Lord, for loving me; being concerned about me and caring about me so much. Even before I was born you made me with exact precision and caring about every detail. Nothing about me is a mistake!  Everything about me reflects your love!  It never stops!  I am overwhelmed!  I praise your Holy name! May I know you and serve you with that same passion!
