Make yourself available for a divine encounter and rejoice in His presence each day. Reach for the hand of hope and praise God for His faithfulness. His good exists in every situation. Seek and find God in your very midst. Romans 15:13 “May the God of HOPE fill you with all JOY and PEACE as you TRUST in HIM, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT.”

Proverbs 16:1 “To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue. All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans. The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.” Hebrews 3:1 “Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus.” Acknowledge that everywhere you are, He is.
1 Samuel 2:1-3 “Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance. “There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.” Fits like a Glove
Joshua 1:5-6 “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.” Trust God.
As we read God’s Word, He reads us. Psalm 27 “The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple. I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” His daily faithfulness begs us to praise Him.
According to God’s final Word, everything you can see will decay, die or be vanished. Every degree burned, each title forgotten, every trophy melted. Live like it is 5 minutes to midnight. Eternity has two destinations. Live for the One who told you the truth. “No longer will your Teacher hide Himself, but with your own eyes you shall see your Teacher, while from behind, a voice shall sound in your ears: “This is the way; walk in it.” The prophet Isaiah 30:19
Faith in God builds by hearing what the silent creation screams. GLORY TO GOD! Romans 10:16 “FAITH comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. ❤️ Psalm 19:1-4 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament reveals His handiwork. Day after day, it utterth speech, and night after night, it showeth knowledge. There is no speech, nor language where their voice is not heard. Yes, verily their sound went into all the earth and their words unto the ends of the world.” Joy to the World, the angels sing, let earth receive her King.
Psalm 19:14 “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
Get comfortable and open up the Holy Book, and read a portion of the record of Our Lord’s excellent life on earth. Take time to meditate on His wisdom, grace, patience, love, beauty, gentleness, tenderness, meekness, and sympathy. Read Scriptures until the life of Jesus jumps out of the pages and enters your heart. Our Lord is lovely, noble, humble, pure, and praiseworthy every day. His fine acts are excellent and they come alive in us as we think with the mind of Christ. The Spirit of our Lord deeply attracted us, to the extent that we desire Him above all else. The Spirit of God fully possesses those who are consecrated to Him. Submit to the still, small voice of Holy Spirit. Walk in joy, and bring God glory.
