Morning Line: Waiting with Patients

“How long, O Lord, must I call for help?”    Habakkuk 1:2 (NIV)

Waiting for your vision to start, or for signs that a promise is being fulfilled? You’re not the first to struggle with waiting, and when you get what you’re waiting for, you’ll begin waiting for something else. If there’s one word that defines life and Christian living, it’s waiting and beginning.

God said to Habakkuk, “…revelation awaits an appointed time…“Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:3 NIV)

Why did God say that? He was answering the prophet’s question, “How long, O Lord, must I call for help…?” Waiting for things to change isn’t easy. So while you’re waiting? Pour yourself into the job at hand; otherwise you’ll shortchange your own future.

“Be patient…See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains….being patient and standing firm” (James 5:7-8 NIV).

What God has in store for you is worth all seasons of waiting.

We have this promise: He who has begun a good work in you will complete it; relax, let go, and let His perfect timing unfold it. Don’t fret over tomorrow; mount up, run, and win today’s race.

 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.

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!

My Help, My Guidance

Teach me to do Your will [so that I may please You], For You are my God;
Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

Hear my prayer, O Lord, Listen to my supplications!
Answer me in Your faithfulness, and in Your righteousness.
And do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight no man living is righteous or justified.
For the enemy has persecuted me,
He has crushed my life down to the ground;
He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have been long dead.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed and weak within me [wrapped in darkness];
My heart grows numb within me.
I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all that You have done;
I ponder the work of Your hands.
I reach out my hands to You;
My throat thirsts for You, as a parched land [thirsts for water]. Selah.
Answer me quickly, O Lord, my spirit fails;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like those who go down into the pit (grave).
Let me hear Your loving-kindness in the morning,
For I trust in You.
Teach me the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.
Rescue me, O Lord, from my enemies; I take refuge in You.

Teach me to do Your will [so that I may please You],
For You are my God;
Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

Psalm 143 (AMP)

Morning Line: He did it for You!

“…My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46 (NKJ)

Imagine having to stand on a stage and watch every sin you’ve ever committed replayed for the entire world to see – secret addictions, selfish motives, angry outbursts, critical attitudes, and a jealous heart.

How do you think you’d feel?

Well, Jesus experienced much worse. The Bible says: ‘He…bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness by whose stripes you were healed’ (1Peter 2:24 NKJV).

It’s bad enough to die for sins you didn’t commit, but imagine being forsaken by God! Does that mean the Psalmist was wrong when he wrote: ‘…I have never seen the righteous forsaken…’ (Psalms 37:25 NIV)

No, because at that moment Jesus was anything but righteous. When you look at Him hanging there, you will see the gossiper, the liar, the cheater, the alcoholic, the porn addict, the child abuser, the murderer. Does it bother you to see His name linked with theirs? Well, Jesus did even more. He put Himself in their place and yours. In a move that broke God’s heart and gave us the gift of eternal life, He poured out His righteous judgment on His only Son. So when Jesus cried from the cross, ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?’ He said it so that you would never have to. What wondrous love.

Receive Him as Savior, and take daily time to know God the Father, the Son the Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit, your teacher/guide; you will be more than glad you did.

 ^“The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places,
and make your bones strong…” Isaiah 58:11(NRSVCE)

Morning Line: Sound Thinking!

“God has…given us…a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV

The Bible says, ‘God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.’ Improve your soundness:

Control your thoughts.  ‘People out of shape mentally fall victim to ideas and systems that are destructive to the human spirit. By not learning how to think and find balance in God’s Word, they set themselves up to depend on the thoughts and opinions of others.

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord; Trust in Him also and He will do it.
He will make your righteousness [your pursuit of right standing with God] like the light,
And your judgment like [the shining of] the noonday [sun]. Psalm 37:4-6 (AMP)

Faith produces excitement, commitment, energy; characteristics that help you achieve success. If you’d like to possess these qualities, align your thoughts and expectations with God’s promises.

‘…Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them’ (Mark 11:24 NKJV).

Do you want to succeed where you’ve failed before?  Don’t start by changing your actions; start by changing your mind. Renew it daily with God’s Word. Nothing you do will have as great an impact moving you to God’s best for you.

 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: Up Close and Personal

Father, Son, and Spirit are always inviting you to come closer to have a first-hand relationship with them. You don’t have to settle for sound bites, second-hand information, or a long-distance relationship. You can get ‘up close and personal’.

John writes, ‘That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have touched, this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.’

Drawing closer to God by developing a greater awareness of His presence in meditation brings great benefits:

(1) Friendship. No human being can be everything you need. But God can. He is a ‘friend who sticks closer than a brother’ (Proverbs 18:24 NIV). He will stick by you through every season of life, the bad and the good.

(2) Stand in confidence in the promises: whatever life throws at you, “you can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’ (Philippians 4:13 NKJV).

Reach into your spirit; the Holy Spirit is right there with you. His peace and grace are with you. You matter and your life matters. I am praying for your connection with the Father God-Christ Jesus- Holy Spirit to fill your spirit, mind, heart, and soul in a very special way today with confidence and peace.

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.

 ^“Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

Morning Line: Authority!

“they were astonished at His (Jesus) teaching, for His Word was with authority.” Luke 4:32 (NKJ)

Think about how God’s Word is more powerful than any enemy’s hand or sword.

And you have access to it through the Holy Spirit, who activates His Word in you. God’s Word has all the power you need to bring life back into any situation you’re facing.

So speak  God’s Word, the breath of life, over any circumstance today: marriage, family, health, and business, whatever.

Be encouraged, be bold, be strong. God’s Word can bring life. Eat, drink, and breathe God’s Word; it will bring peace, power, and “Victory” into your life. Stand on it, believe, and receive!

Our Father, Creator God, is saying to you.

 “ do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,   I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 (NRSVCE)

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you”. Psalm 32: 8 (AMP)

^“I will put My Spirit in you, and you will come to life, and I will place you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and fulfilled it,” says the Lord.’ Ezekiel 37:14 (AMP)

” So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 (NKJ)

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.

Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call on Him [for salvation] while He is near.

Let the wicked leave (behind) his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the Lord, And He will have compassion (mercy) on him,
And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts higher than your thoughts.

“For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth, Making it bear and sprout, And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

“For you will go out [from exile] with joy And be led forth [by the Lord Himself] with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

“Instead of the thorn bush the cypress tree will grow,
And instead of the nettle the myrtle tree will grow;
And it will be a memorial to the Lord,
For an everlasting sign [of His mercy] which will not be cut off.” Isaiah 55:6-13 (AMP)

Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!” ⁶ So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say,

“The Lord is my Helper [in time of need], I will not be afraid.
What will man do to me?”  Hebrews 13: 5-6 (AMP)

Morning Line: Breath of God!

“By the Word of the Lord the heavens were made, all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.” Psalm 33: 6

By the Word, the Breath of His mouth, the words “Word” and “Breath” are interchangeable here.

 In Genesis 1:1-3 we read the earth was without form, void, and dark, and the Spirit of God said” Let there be light. “And the earth was formed out of nothing.

Know this: how much more can God, out of His love, grace, and mercy for you, put the pieces of your life together, no matter the situation, if He can create the universe from nothing into something great. Think how much more He can do with you when you have a willing Spirit to receive.

We can’t speak without breath, and God spoke, and His Word created what He said. All Scripture is God’s breath and power; let it saturate you and release its power in you. Whatever you are going through, stand on the promises of “The Breath of God”; they will do what they are sent to do, with the power to put and hold things together in your life.

Isaiah 55:11 ” So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent 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!
