Daily thought… Daily Prayer…Word
We all need daily words/reminders that help us remember who we are and whose we are. To insure us against our flesh and the Devils schemes.
It is my hope and prayer for myself and you, that by His Grace and power through the Spirit and Word, that we would daily remember our place, position and authority. That we would live by this prayer and meditation or something like it that helps us stay connected to the Giver and Sustainer of all life.
Here are Two verses I keep at the forefront of my heart and mind- Blessings, Jonathan
WORD
John 10:10
10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
John 15:5
5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.”
THOUGHT
We/I think things should happen at a certain time.. the time I think makes sense. This thinking causes us to attempt to put God on our time tables. To, promote us above God! Of course when you think about it like this it sounds obsurd. Well, that is how obsurd it is for us to elavate our thoughts and ways above His. To deceive ourselves into thinking that we know best or have a better way! In essence.. it is pride, the pride we inherited from the father of lies.
PRAYER
“Thank-you Lord that you are in control and that I can walk with you, trusting and obeying. That I don’t need to figure it all out, but simply trust you and pray for wisdom, insight and the willingness to obey you no matter what. No matter how I see, think, feel or perceive.. I am to trust and obey and receive your peace that passes all understanding. Thank-you for your word, our manual for life, and our counselor-your Spirit! I know that I am not alone… that I don’t have to go it alone and rely on myself to figure life out! Thank-you! Please accept my flawed attempt to love you in return for your perfect love for me. I rest in you being God and me being your son. Thanks Abba Father!” Amen
