Have you heard the song When You Don’t Know What to Say, Just say, Jesus? Wow! Just say Jesus. I’ve found myself doing that more and more. It centers me and clears my head and heart. When I say, Jesus, I can almost feel Him beside me. Try it. It is a wonderful feeling. You know He is there with you. Just say His Name. We can get so caught up in whatever is going on around us that we…..
We all know the story of Abraham and Sarah. Abraham is the story of faith. God called him when he was a pagan in the Ur of the Chaldeans to leave the only home he knew and take his family and go to a land that God would tell him. Can you imagine having that much faith? God didn’t tell him where he was going. But, Abraham trusted God to the point that he did as God asked Him to…..
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Even in the midst of the tragedies in which we live, we have to remember one thing: God is on His Throne and He is in control. He Reigns! When things seem to spin out of control and we don’t know what to do next, we do know where to turn. Christ promises He will never leave us or forsake us. The craziness of the world will not prevail. We have a Mighty…..
“Oh, God, You are my God and I will ever praise You.” As I start my prayers each morning and after I say, “Good Morning, God!” I always give Him praise. I love Amy Grant’s song that says “Your praise will ever be on my lips.” I find myself singing that all day. We are so incredibly blessed. God continues to shower us with His blessings. I love to thank and praise Him for all He has done in my…..
One of my favorite scriptures is 1 John 3:1a that says: “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” Do you realize the significance of this scripture? Do you realize the great love God has lavished on us! Our God is a great God and everything He does is great beyond our expectations. He doesn’t simply give us blessings He “lavishes” us with blessings……
Do you ever have days when you feel as if your prayers don’t get past the ceiling? Sometime my prayers just don’t flow and my mind wanders and I become discouraged. I feel as if God is far away. I don’t know why this happens. But, I know that when we don’t know what to pray, Paul tells us in Romans 8: 26: “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we…..
How is your day? I pray you are filled with the joy and peace of the Lord. I know we all get caught up in the craziness of the world. It seems that we never get everything done. We are constantly putting out fires and running to and fro. When will it stop? I know a way to calm your storms. All you need to do is ask Jesus to be the center of your life. Ask Him to guide…..
Have you noticed how infrequent and short our prayers can become when everything is going our way? We still say grace at meals and offer up a few items of our “wish list” to God, but these are not earnest prayer. Conversely, have you noticed that when you have a problem, a bad diagnosis or tragedy, the first thing we do is fall on our knees and plead with God for help? Don’t beat yourself up over this. This is…..
Hello to all. I pray you are reading and enjoying Good Morning, God! I pray it gives you an opportunity to stop your hectic schedule and just spend time with the Lord. It is through His Word and prayer that we truly get to know Him. He becomes real to us. We know He is faithful and good. I love Chris Tomlin’s song, Good, Good Father. He truly is good and He is truly our Father. Praise God! I entitled…..
Most of us have never authored a book and I never thought I would. It was an amazing process. Of course, it began with God. He began placing thoughts in my heart that He wanted me to write a book for Him. At first I had no idea what I would write, but because He was calling me, I began to pray about it. He revealed to me that He wanted me to write a daily devotional so that people…..
