Monday Greetings and Blessings

Today is a gift from God. "Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! Selah. (Psalm 68:19)

He has given us His Word whereby man shall live. His Holy Spirit to those who believe on Him, without measure. His amazing grace and a hope that anchors the soul. Strength for the journey and peace that surpasses all understanding. His deliverance, His longsuffering and His forgiveness. His correction, His mercy and His justice, all wrapped in love.

Time would fail to tell of all His benevolence. Yet, consider His works and providence in creation. Read more.

By My Spirit, Says the LORD of Hosts

With the anointing of God's Spirit and His grace in the lives of His saints, there is no mountain that can stand in the way of God's purposes.

Bible Reading: Zechariah 4:6-10

"This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts. 'Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of ''Grace, grace to it!" ' "

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying: "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands shall also finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the LORD, which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth."

Bless the Lord God of our souls! In every generation, He calls and anoints men and women to participate in His divine purposes in the earth and to give birth to what is conceived in the Spirit. He rejoices in seeing those purposes fulfilled. As workmen in His kingdom, as runners in the Christian race, under His watchful eyes, He supplies all the grace we need to fight the good fight of faith and to finish the course with joy! Thank You, Lord God!

Inspirational Thoughts: Walking With the Lord

"Hand in hand, we walk with the Lord. Through life's valleys and mountaintops. Through the desert and the wilderness. In pastures green and frost-covered earth. The Savior leads us on. His joy floods the soul; what peace is ours, such blessings divine. We can confidently say, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine." 

- An Inspirational Thought from A Walk In The Garden

God is in the details of our lives, not the devil

Life has its challenges - Be it some important undertaking or simply living our day to day lives confronted by and surrounded by details of one sort or another.

For those whose trust is in the Almighty, we can rest assured that the Lord will lead and guide us; that He will perfect all that concerns us; that He is working all things together for our good; that He will make the crooked places straight, that light has dawn for us in darkness.

There is absolutely nothing that is too difficult for the Lord. He is the all wise God, Creator of heaven and earth. 

Though buffeted, we are not ignorant of the devil's devices. Jesus said, "Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh and hath nothing in me." (John 14:30)

God is in the details of our lives, not the devil.

The Bible speaks of Daniel and Joseph: Godly men who were able to tell and interpret hard dreams that the soothsayers and magicians could not. There is a wisdom of this world, and then there's the wisdom from on high. God is our wisdom and peace. We need not fear.
