Morning Line: Salt & Light

 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery].

“You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;  nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Let the Light and Salt of Jesus Christ shine in you and through to others. They are watching and are drawn to Jesus Christ life and testimony; you are commissioned to disciple others.

Daily pour God’s Word into your heart to overflowing; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you in power and might to take care of the day before you.

Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”, Trust the Process!

You are chosen for this space and time in God’s timeline to make a difference; prepare your heart, mind, and spirit.

Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are your sure, unshakable foundation.

You matter; your Story matters. Live expectantly!

It’s Done!

We have an expression, “That’s done for good.” It means it won’t come back. It is over.

God promises in Malachi that the enemy (disease and every other outcome of the curse) is trampled into dust. Some versions say ashes. Either way, it can’t be lit again. Cold ashes and dirt put out fire. It is done for good. And yes – FOR GOOD. GOOD HAS ARRIVED TO REPLACE THE BAD. IT IS DONE FOR GOOD.

God created me FOR GOOD. ONCE AND FOR ALL TIME AND FOREVER. I AM CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD.

But the sun of righteousness will rise on those revering my name; healing will be in its wings so that you will go forth and jump about like calves in the stall. You will crush the wicked; they will be like dust beneath the soles of your feet on the day that I am preparing, says the LORD of heavenly forces. Remember the Instruction from Moses, my servant, to whom I gave Instruction and rules for all Israel at Horeb. Look, I am sending Elijah the prophet to you, before the great and terrifying day of the LORD arrives. Turn the hearts of the parents (fathers) to the children and the hearts of the children to their parents (fathers). Otherwise, I will come and strike the land with a curse. Malachi 4:2-6 CEB

Morning Line: Keep On Keeping On!

”I press on to reach the end of the race…” Philippians 3:14(NKJ)

When the bottom falls out, do not look for someone to blame. It will paralyze and block you, blinding you to see your solution. Instead, strengthen yourself in God’s Word and Promises, holding fast to the fact that Father God, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are always with you. Storms will come spiritually and physically to bang us around, but we have the promise that God will get us to the other side.

“ God our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear…” Psalm 46:1-2 (NKJ)

As you earnestly reach out to God, the Holy Spirit will draw near, helping you win battles of any size, turning them into victories.

^“ Trust in the Lord with all your heart,  and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6(NKJ)

Remember it’s God’s desire for your best; let Him unfold it. However, it may not look like what you expected; stay open in prayer and meditation to receive, knowing God is preparing and sending what you need and what is best for your calling.

Word for today: regroup, refocus, and press on. You have a Race to Win!

Daily, let God’s Word pour into your heart until it overflows; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you with power and might to take care of the day before you.

Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”, Trust the Process!

Morning Line: Grace and Peace

To all the saints (God’s people) in Christ Jesus…Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 I thank my God in every remembrance of you, always offering every prayer of mine with joy [and with specific requests] for all of you,  [thanking God] for your participation and partnership [both your comforting fellowship and gracious contributions] in [advancing] the good news [regarding salvation] from the first day [you heard it] until now.

I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].

 It is right for me to feel this way about you, because [you have me in your heart as] I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the good news [regarding salvation], all of you share in [His matchless] grace with me. For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus [whose great love fills me]. And this I pray, that your love may abound more and more [displaying itself in greater depth] in real knowledge and in practical insight, so that you may learn to recognize and treasure what is excellent [identifying the best, and distinguishing moral differences], and that you may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ [actually living lives that lead others away from sin]; ¹filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God [so that His glory may be both revealed and recognized]. Philippians 1: 1-11(AMP)

Daily pour God’s Word into your heart to overflowing; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you in power and might to take care of the day before you.

Morning Line: God-Powered GPS

You have a God-powered Spirit! (GPS) His written Word, your Bible.

When we get in a hurry and don’t wait on the Lord.

We jump ahead and do rash things. We shoot from the hip. We run off at the mouth, saying things that we later regret.

But when we have sufficiently waited on the Lord, His Spirit helps us control our spirit, actions, mind, and mouth.

At such moments, as we surrender to the Holy Spirit, His Spirit is like a glove, moving us, guiding us to our best choices, and directing us to our best outcome.

Wait on the Lord, be still, and your path will open.

“ Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long”   Psalm 25:4-5

God has placed a great destiny in you; relax and let God’s GPS, the Holy Spirit, guide you to it.

Daily, pour God’s Word into your heart to overflowing; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you in power and might to take care of the day before you.

Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”, Trust the Process!

The Way The Truth The Light

“…whoever believes in Him will have eternal life [after physical death, and will actually live forever].

“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the truly unique One, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him]. This is the judgment [that is, the cause for indictment, the test by which people are judged, the basis for the sentence]: the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

 For every wrongdoer hates the Light, and does not come to the Light [but shrinks from it] for fear that his [sinful, worthless] activities will be exposed and condemned. But whoever practices truth [and does what is right—morally, ethically, spiritually] comes to the Light, so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are—accomplished in God [divinely prompted, done with God’s help, in dependence on Him].” John 3: 15-21(AMP)

Morning Line: Reputation!

” A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
and favor is better than silver or gold.” Proverbs 22:1

The school teacher asked why people called him good; a 7-year-old said, “Maybe they don’t know you.”

What would people say about you? Reputation determines your impact, positive or negative.  Always choose integrity even when it’s hard; God will honor and bless you, and you won’t have to look back to see who’s coming.

Become salt and light, filled with revelation of Father God, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit’s presence in all things, bringing victory to your life, and enjoy and share their love and grace.

”Ye are the salt of the earth…” Matthew 5:13

”Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” Colossians 4:6

Be of good Reputation, Character, dependable to share and mentor life lessons and the Love of Christ Jesus. Your life is your testimony; what are you saying?

“The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places,
and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring of water, whose waters never fail” Isaiah 58:11(NRSVCE)

Daily pour God’s Word into your heart to overflowing; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you in power and might to take care of the day before you.

Morning Line: Stop Stumbling

“Don’t stumble over something that is already behind you.”
~ Seneca ~
Don’t allow past mistakes, disappointments, hurts, or failures to keep interfering with the life you’re living now.
You can learn from the past without continuing to carry it. When we constantly replay what went wrong, we can turn something that has already ended into an obstacle that still affects our confidence, peace, and decisions.
Take the lesson, but leave the regret. Forgive yourself for what you didn’t know then.
Don’t let yesterday’s disappointment create today’s fear.
Keep your attention on where you’re going, not where you’ve already been.
The past can teach you, but it doesn’t have to trip you. (Kelly Mizell)

“…one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 (AMP)

 ^“The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places,
and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring of water, whose waters never fail” Isaiah 58:11(NRSVCE)

Morning Line: Storm Master!

Matthew 8:24-26 (NRSVCE) “ Suddenly, a fierce storm struck… with waves breaking into the boat…Jesus…sleeping. They…woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” Jesus said, “Why are you afraid?… Then He got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm”

Don’t sweat with Jesus in the boat; you might get wet, but you’ll land safe. Have faith in your  Captain, Father God, Savior-Healer Christ Jesus and Guide-Teacher the Holy Spirit.

^“ For I, the Lord your God,  hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, ‘Do not fear,  I will help you.”  Isaiah 41:13 (NRSVCE)

^“ For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NRSVCE)

^“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, Psalm 46:1-2 (NRSVCE)

Whatever you need is today, Father God, Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit, are your Bread and Breath of Life. As you surrender to them, answers will come, and your pathway will clear.

You are an overcomer!

The Road of Life

At first, I saw God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the things I did wrong,
so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die. He was out there sort of like a president.
I recognized His picture when I saw it,
but I really didn’t know Him.

But later on when I met Christ, it seemed as though life was rather like a bike ride, but it was a tandem bike, and I noticed that Christ was in the back helping me pedal.

I don’t know just when it was that He suggested we change places, but life has not been the same since.

When I had control, I knew the way. It was rather boring, but predictable…
It was the shortest distance between two points.

But when He took the lead, He knew delightful long cuts, up mountains, and through rocky places
at breakneck speeds; it was all I could do to hang on! Even though it looked like madness,
He said, “Pedal!”

I worried and was anxious and asked, “Where are you taking me?”
He laughed and didn’t answer, and I started to learn to trust.

I forgot my boring life and entered into the adventure. And when I’d say, “I’m scared,”
He’d lean back and touch my hand.

He took me to people with gifts that I needed, gifts of healing, acceptance, and joy.
They gave me gifts to take on my journey, my Lord’s and mine.

And we were off again. He said, “Give the gifts away; they’re extra baggage, too much weight.”
So I did, to the people we met, and I found that in giving I received, and still our burden was light.

I did not trust Him, at first, to be in control of my life. I thought He’d wreck it; but He knows bike secrets,
knows how to make it bend to take sharp corners, knows how to jump to clear high rocks,
knows how to fly to shorten scary passages.

And I am learning to shut up and pedal in the strangest places, and I’m beginning to enjoy the view
and the cool breeze on my face with my delightful constant companion, Jesus Christ.

And when I’m sure I just can’t do anymore, He just smiles and says . . . “Pedal.”
