~ My God Knows ~

Praising God for His Word this morning! Sitting here on my porch cozied up in a blanket with God’s Holy Word and a hot cup of coffee soaking in the presence of my Jesus! Oh, how I need Him every second of every day! His Word this morning….Yes!

So much comfort in this verse:

"You’ve kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights, Each tear entered in your ledger, each ache written in your book."

Psalm 56:8 (MSG)

After a challenging month, I am thankful to God for his Word. So many times I can just open it and the words leap off the pages straight to my weary soul. A salve to heal the cracks of my heart. My God knows!

 My God knows the burdens on my heart and the burdens of so many others I hold dear. It is only He that can truly bring comfort. This morning I am thankful for that comfort and His beautiful compassion. When troubles come, He is there! When burdens digs deep, He is there! Troubles will come and troubles will go but my God will be there every step of the way. 

 That's why this morning I can REJOICE! Even in times of burden, I rejoice in my God! He is faithful! He is true! He is GOD! O, how I love him so! 


"Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning."

Psalms 30:5 (NLT)

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"

Philippians 4:4 (NIV)

I don't know who else needed to read these words from Scripture today, but I sure did! For those of you struggling today, this is for you too! No matter what you are going through, my God knows your hurts and loves you with an everlasting love. Cling to him today and let his Word soothe your weary soul. Be confident that He is in control and is working all things for our good. Remember, His mercies are new every morning!

HE IS MY PORTION! HALLELUJAH!

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” 

Lamentations 3:22-24 (NIV)

Pondering Questions This Morning...

Questions on my heart this morning:

When others look at our lives what do they see?

Do they see a life committed to Christ?

Do they see a life transformed by the Gospel?

Today, I pray that my life is a pleasing aroma before my Lord. I pray that I live in a way that honors my God and shines His light for all the world. I pray that when others see me, it's really CHRIST in me that they see. I pray that I walk in a manner worthy of the calling God has placed on my life. I pray that I keep from sinful desires and put on the armor to fight the enemy. I want my mind renewed to think like Christ and to love like Christ. I want to know Him more and seek Him wholeheartedly. I want to remember that this world is not my home and that I'm on a mission to serve Christ and share His love with others. I pray that I run the race with perseverance; a race that glorifies my God and points others to Him!

So many things on my heart this morning!

Today is ALL about YOU, precious Father! I love you and I pray that I honor YOU this day! Have your way in me!

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Matthew 5:14-16 (NKJV)

“so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,”

Colossians 1:10 (NIV)

“This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”

John 15:8 (NIV)

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Hebrews 12:1-2 (NIV)

Praise for a new week!

Happy Monday!

What a glorious morning waking up to these cool fall temps! Of course I had to break the icicles off our noses because I refuse to cut the heat on yet but what fun! Lol!

As we begin a new work/school week let's commit to give praise to the ONE who is worthy of all honor and glory! Without Him we are nothing and walking through this crazy thing called life with Him is so full of adventure with grace & mercy abounding that only He could give. Today, I praise HIM and today I lift you all up in prayer!

He is my HOPE! He is my JOY! He is my PEACE!

“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.”

Romans 15:13
