Glory

It is easy to revel in God's glory early in the morning. As life moves forward and the day begins to unfold,  take a moment to pause and rekindle His glory within you.

Let the glory of the LORD endure forever; Let the LORD be glad in His works. Psalm 104:31

Encounter

In every mountain you climb, every obstacle you face, you encounter God.  A life of prayer and devotion prepares you for the encounter. Hope, faith and trust overcomes it all.

My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me. – John 10:27

Chase

“Chase two rabbits and you lose both.” Having raised rabbits in the past, I know this lesson well. When they get out, they are fast, and there is no way of grabbing either unless you place your focus on one at a time. Even then, you are up for a challenge.

Fittingly, I saw these words on a sign of a storage unit; a place built to hold the overflow stuff of man’s desires. It seems we never  have enough stuff, and once we’ve obtained it, we won’t let it go. Our stuff overflows. Physically, emotionally, we chase this dream and that and seldom feel complete. But, there is a way to find the peace we all seek: The One: the fulfiller of all dreams and desires. When we set our goal on the eternal Love of God, all other things will fall beautifully into place, and life will be full.

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. – Matthew 6:33

Glorify

When we stand unashamed, believing in the Power of God’s Holiness, we stand within His Kingdom. Seeking God reveals His Nature, and resting in Him fulfills every longing and every desire when, in these moments, we see His Glory revealed. The Glory of the Lord is all around us, manifest in every single entity of our lives. Let us rejoice and be glad.

…because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. – Romans 1:19-20

Prayers

The prayers you pray for others come back to you. Whenever we ask on behalf of another, we ourselves receive God’s loving generosity amplified in our lives. So be generous with your prayers. God loves to give to those who seek. 

And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. – Luke 11:9-10
