Morning Devotional Saturday 5/24/14

Good morning beautiful people! As time permits, I will try and post a morning devotional to get your day off on a positive note.

I have a devotional that I read from every day called "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young. I will probably post the readings using that book, but when I'm home and more time permits, there are other devotionals that I subscribe to. I may use one or both or whatever the Lord directs me to share. I hope you will join me in this venture and start your day worshiping our Heavenly Father and His Mighty Son!

Bring Me your mind for rest and renewal. Let Me infuse My presence into your thoughts. As your mind stops racing, your body relaxes and you regain awareness of Me. This awareness is vital to your spiritual well-being; it is your lifeline, spiritually speaking.

There are actually more than four dimensions in this world where you live. In addition to the three dimensions of space and the one of time, there is the dimension of openness to My presence. This dimension transcends the others, giving you glimpses of heaven while you still reside on earth. This was part of My original design for mankind. Adam and Eve used to walk with Me in the garden, before their expulsion from Eden. I want you to walk with Me in the garden of your heart, where I have taken up permanent residence.

Bible verses for the morning:
Genesis 3:8 (NIV)
"Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden."

Psalm 89:15 (NIV)
"Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD."

Logos Verse of the Day:

Good Morning Girls Week 2--Your Spiritual Life

I'm still back tracking. So this is for the week of January 27.

 



 
















 Week 2 Challenge:
Open to Revelation Chapter 1 and read what John saw when he saw Jesus in all his glory.  When you close your eyes to pray – pause and imagine what John saw.  Then begin praying.  I believe it will change the power of your quiet times this week.

Week 2 Memory Verse:

 

Monday 1/27/14
Read: Luke 5:1; Mark 1:35
SOAP: Mark 1:35

Luke 5:16--Yet He often withdrew to deserted places and prayed.

SOAP:  Mark 1:35
S: And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.

O: It seems that Jesus liked to have solitude when He wanted to pray. Also, He liked to do it early in the morning before the day started.

A: I should set aside a time during the day in which to pray and to read. I think it would help me to be able to really think about what it is I'm reading. Sometimes solitude gives us the opportunity to really let things sink in. There are no outward distractions. Just you and God.

P: Lord, I want to grow closer to You and to be able to Your voice above all the noise. Let Your voice be the only voice I hear, especially when there are negative thoughts in my head. Help me to really understand Your Word and be able to apply it to my own life. Amen.
