Time is precious. Time spent with the Lord pleases Him at the same time it refreshes and strengthens us. It is never wasted when we choose to spend it with the One we love most.

Be A Seeker!
Ten minutes before the strike of midnight for 2018, I pressed on for His personalized word for me that will keep me focused and on track for the year. We know that His word is timely at the same timeless. It is the same yesterday, today and forever. And YES, because He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, He gave me “my word” for 2018.
“ONE THING I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life,
To gaze upon the beauty [the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur] of the Lord
And to meditate in His temple.” (Psalm 27:4 AMP)
Deeper!
I always desire to start a new year pressing in for more encounters with the One Who knows no impossibility. Getting to know in a DEEPER way the One Who is without limits postures us to explore and experience Who He is, how willing and able He is to lavish us, His sons and daughters, with His love demonstrated without measure.
Be Established In Righteousness
I am so glad to know by the power of His revealed Word that God is so mindful of us, and not mindful of the wrongdoings when we are IN CHRIST. The divine exchange that happened at the cross made our eternal victory possible that positioned us to live the good life that He has prearranged and made ready for us.
Take The Ride & Enjoy Life!
Our Abba Father is always in the business of introducing Himself to us in new, fresh and living ways that will take us deeper into the glory realms of His love. It is in our knowledge of knowing Him that takes us into the adventures of exploring and experiencing Who He truly is according to His spoken words of promises.
When We Say YES To God
No one knows what our day will be like the very moment we open our eyes but thank God that HE is an Omniscient God Who knows all things. “He knows when we sit and when we arise; He perceives our thoughts from afar.” (Psalm 139:2) Yes, we start with this declaration, “This IS the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24 NKJV) Yes, we believe that if HE made the day, then it must be GOOD! Nothing comes out of HIM that HE IS NOT and because our God is GOOD, then only GOOD things come out of HIM. Our knowledge of His goodness causes us to have a confident and joyful expectation for our day to be good.
I love how the Message translation says it, “This is the very day God acted— let’s celebrate and be festive!
Love Never Fails
Free will is a God-given privilege. I is an attribute of LOVE. He created us to have freedom, for us not to be forced or coerced into something we don’t desire to do.
In worship, I used to ask the Lord why doesn’t He just come in His powerful glory invading the earth where everyone who comes under the glory cloud won’t have much of a choice but to bow down low and worship Him. How glorious it would look then when all of us will be glued low in honor and reverence of His presence. But then I came to realize that when He always comes this way, He would be negating our free will to worship Him.
The God of the Breakthrough
It is but norm for all of us to be believing for our breakthroughs here and there, and not just believing but really seeing them to tangibly manifest before our eyes. This is the cry of everyone’s heart. But, in the waiting, what do we do?
He said, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”(Galatians 6:9 NIV)
Favor Is Fun
“In the last days, they will tremble in awe of the LORD and of His goodness.” (Hosea 3:5 NLT)
Well, I don’t know about you 🙂 but one thing I would like to be in awe of is to see and witness His goodness, the knowledge of His glory filling the earth as the water covers the sea. I desire to see JESUS and the benefits of His finished work at the cross in awestruck wonder, and favor is one of them.
Jesus Is Lord
The definition of the word “LORD” means supreme master, ruler, leader, chief, superior, monarch, sovereign, king, emperor, prince, governor, commander. Jesus is the Lord of lords and that denotes One who possesses absolute control by the power of His love, the LORD over all.
His LORDSHIP can never be fully expressed in the limitations of our words but it can surely be personally experienced with one’s spirit that is open for Him to invade and possess, a heart that is fully yielded revering Him to make His home in it.
Behold, I Am With You Always! -JESUS
