This Week's Scripture for July 22 - July 28, 2012 Nuggets of Reflection: The Lord is our portion, especially when it seems like we have nothing else left. Put all your hope in God and wait patiently for Him to deliver. Don't stress. Enjoy life and receive the joy of the Lord while you wait. Don't let the devil fool you while you wait. God's word clearly states that He is good to those who wait for Him. There is always hope in God's salvation.   Psalms 130 (Waiting for the Redemption of the Lord) Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope. My soul waits for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning— Yes, more than those who watch for the morning...

I love Fridays!! Don't you?? I am excited about for today's post. Feel Free Friday is about feeling free to Enjoy Your Weekend!!  Yep, you heard me!!  Enjoy Your Weekend!! This whole week we talked about Lamentations 3:24-25. One of the key points is putting your hope in God and waiting patiently on Him to deliver. While you are doing that, it doesn't mean that you should waddled in self pity or not enjoy life, but 100% of the opposite. If you truly put all your hope in God, you can have joy in the Lord. The bible says, "The joy of the Lord is your strength," (Nehemiah 8:10 ) . And it's that same strength you can use to wait patiently on the Lord and to feel free to enjoy your weekend!! Amen and Amen!! As I bid you adieu, if you haven't already, make some fun and awesome plans for the weekend or just plain ol' relax. Bottomline is don't fret and don't stress just enjoy your weekend because God has it all under control in t...

I love Quench Your Thirst Thursday. It gives me an opportunity to share some great praise and worship music. God always shows me the right song at the right time. That's just how are awesome He is. For this Quench Your Thirst Thursday, we are listening to You Are My Portion, written and sung by Darrell Evans. This week continue to confess that the Lord is your portion. If all else fails, you know that without a shadow of doubt that God is right there and on time. He is our portion, our everything, and we put our hope in Him. As you listen to this song, I pray that it is a blessing to you in the name of Jesus. Picture by: Living in Hope via Toia on Pinterest

It's Hump Day!!! Hallelujah!! That means we are almost there.....to Friday!!! For today's Wisdom Word Wednesday, we are going to focus on hope . Part of Lamentations 3:24 states, "Therefore, I hope in Him!" When you are to point where you feel like you are all alone and have nothing, there is no other peron I would rather for you to put all your hope into, but the Lord God Almighty. Where there is hope, there is faith. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," (Hebrews 11:1). When you put your hope in God, you are believing without seeing the outcome of your situation, that He is going to work it out for the better. This means you are taken ownership of things that are hoped for, but not exactly manifested. And that is what God wants us to do. He wants us to put our hope and faith in Him, regardless of what our circumstances are. He wants us to see spiritually and not physically. " For we walk ...

My Heavenly Father Where would I be without Your grace and mercy? You are a faithful God. Your love for me is unconditional. You sacrificed Your One and only Son, Jesus, so that I can be reconciled with you. There is no other name I know. There is none like You, Heavenly Father. Even in my disobedience, You still have compassion and give me so much love. Lord, I come to in repentance for all the times I have disobeyed Your Word, ignore Your commands, and didn't follow Your instructions. In the name of Jesus, I ask you to forgive me. You only, oh God, are my portion. I put every bit of my hope in You. Your tender mercies console me in my time of need. I will wait on You all day. During this waiting period, I refuse to be ignorant to satan devices. I believe and trust in Your word. And Your word says that You are good to those who wait and seek Your face. Heavenly Father, I extend my prayers on the behalf of those who are in need of Your grace, mercy, compass...

I am glad that Monday doesn't have be (you know) crazy. Sometimes, I do find it hard to be productive on Mondays. I guess because in my mind I have four other days in a regular work week to make up for it. But today was different. I actually felt like I got some things accomplished today. I feel a wee bit ahead of my game this week. We just have to see what tomorrow will bring. As for right now, we are going to get started with Manic Monday. This week theme scripture is Lamentations 3:24-25. I do recommend that you read chapter 3. In today's post, I am going to focus on two words:  Portion and Wait . Portion ~ [hebrew word:cheleq; #2506] - means a part, inheritance, an allotment. Because everything was taken away from them, the only thing that the tribe of Levi can called their own was the Lord's mercies. They were able to console themselves with God's mercy. "Through the Lord mercies, we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not...

Before I announce the theme scripture for this week, let's continue to lift up the Aurora Community in Colorado and pray for the oppressed, broken-hearted, those who are sick, and depressed. Let's remember to send our prayers out to people all across the nation in the name of Jesus. This week's theme will be based on Lamentations 3:24-25: “ The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. Lamentations is a book divided into three poems. Lamentations 3:24-25 is in the third poem, which talks about God's mercy, man's submissiveness, and concludes with a prayer. Both verses, indicate a sense of hope and humility in the midst of troubles. To paraphrase a bit, the tribe of Levi was basically saying..."Lord, you are the One and Only and there's no other. Everything we have is gone. No matter how long it takes, we will wait because all our hope is in Y...
