Faith Moments Today January

Part of my assignment from the Lord is to teach people to get the most out of their worship and time with the Lord in fellowship or study. That is what I've been doing for fifteen years now. The Lord has order to everything He does, and expects us to come before Him in a certain way. The Psalmist teaches us that we are to come before Him in singing. Singing songs of adiration, praise or worship causes the Holy Spirit to enter into the situation, causing us to hear more clearly from the Lord. It is my desire that you will learn how to do this each and every time you enter into the presence of the Lord.

There is a *song that Austrian worship leader Darlene Zschech wrote that touches my heart every time I sing it. It draws me closer to the Lord in renewing my relationship with Him. Knowing that every breath we take is a gift from our Heavenly Father and total surrender to God brings a peace that cannot be described.

"This is my desire, to honor You, Lord with all my heart. I worship You, all I have within me. I give You praise. All that I adore is in You. Lord I give You my heart, I give You my soul, I live for You alone. Every breath that I take, every moment I'm awake, Lord have Your way in me."

As the New Year is beginning, why not begin with a renewed heart in the Lord. Jesus loves you so much and wants the best for you. Let Him guide you in everything that you do this year. Give Him your heart! (pcw) *from I Give You My Heart/Hillside Music

This is my desire, to honour You.
Lord with all my heart I worship You.
All I have within me, I give You praise
All that I adore is in You.

Chorus

Lord I give You my heart, I give You my soul
I live for You alone.
Every breath that I take, every moment I'm awake
Lord have Your way in me.
Repeat verse & Chorus

"But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ (the Anointed One and His Anointing) Jesus."

There is a sign we hung in our church and in our home that reads, "God is my Source." It is a reminder for us to remember that our jobs provide an income, but the source (power to get wealth/money) still comes from God.

Understanding that God is your source and supplier of all your needs will open opportunities for the better job, increase of pay and abundance of all good things. God is our source, not man or our job. People change and so do our jobs, but God the supplier never does.

No matter where you work or get your seed (money) from, remember that God made it possible for it to be given to you. Give Him thanks and praise for the new seed that is about to come in this year.

"But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."

Waiting for anything is difficult for man, so when we have to wait longer than we expect, sometimes we give up hope.

God tells us in His Word it is expected that we should wait for things to happen, and when we do we can expect to be renewed in our spirit and in hope.

A child waits and waits for a new bike. When the bike finally arrives, he/she is delighted and overjoyed that the expected end has manifested. (Proverbs 13:12)

Whatever it is you've asked God for, wait and believe for the expected outcome. When it comes to pass, remember that God said it would come, and it would renew you. Give Him the glory.

Did you know that SOFFY Ministries prays scriptures over our partners, supporters and friends in this ministry? Psalm 103 is one passage we specifically pray, because of the blessings and promises God gives to us.

God has promised to forgive us, heal us, empower and protect us. He promises to renew our youth!

As you start out your day, because you are His child, remember to  

"Bless the LORD O my soul and forget not all His benefits."

 

Bless the Lord for giving you protection (vs. 20-22) with strong angels overseeing your every move. Bless the Lord for giving you anointed teachers and preachers that delight in His work. Bless the Lord, bless the Lord for His goodness endures forever. Amen.

Read Psalm 103 for more blessings.

15) Gen. 21-22; Psalm 15

21) Luke 16; Gen. 28; Ps. 21

 

"Worry weighs a person down, but an encouraging word cheers a person up."

Working with special needs children I've often gone to work feeling tired and worn out even before I've started my actual teaching day. It seems my body needed more rest than it got and so it would affect my emotions. That's normal for most.

However, knowing the background of each child would help me to get my attitude in check or "right" before they entered the classroom. Children are more in tune with feelings and life than we give them credit. They pick up on your feelings and take things to heart. Knowing this, they would often try to encourage the staff with a kind word, and became the "adult" in caring.

A kind word goes a long way. Try practicing Proverbs 11:25 & 12:25 each day and see how a good word makes you feel.

Dear Jesus,
I know that I have sinned against You. Please forgive me of all my sins. Come into my heart and save me. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
