Today’s verse

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Hebrews 4:16 NLT

PEACE IS MY CONTINUAL GIFT TO YOU. It flows abundantly from My throne of grace. Just as the Israelites could not store up manna for the future but had to gather it daily, so it is with My Peace. The day-by-day collecting of manna kept My people aware of their dependence on Me. Similarly, I give you sufficient Peace for the present when you come to me by prayer and petition with thanksgiving. If I gave you permanent Peace, independent of My Presence, you might fall into the trap of self-sufficiency. May that never be!

I have designed you to need Me moment by moment. As your awareness of your neediness increases, so does your realization of My abundant sufficiency. I can meet every one of your needs without draining My resources at all. Approach My throne of grace with bold confidence, receiving My Peace with a thankful heart.

Moses said to them, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat. This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs.’ . . . No one is to keep any of it until morning.”
—Exodus 16:15–16, 19

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. . . . And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
—Philippians 4:6–7, 19

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
—Hebrews 4:16

Dear God, Abba Father, Jesus my Lord and Savior. I love You, I’m sorry, forgive me, thank You. With a grateful heart I give thanks for all Your blessings.

Jesus Calling

I AM TRAINING YOU IN STEADINESS. Too many things interrupt your awareness of Me. I know that you live in a world of sight and sound, but you must not be a slave to those stimuli. Awareness of Me can continue in all circumstances, no matter what happens. This is the steadiness I desire for you.

Don’t let unexpected events throw you off course. Rather, respond calmly and confidently, remembering that I am with you. As soon as something grabs your attention, talk with Me about it. Thus I share your joys and your problems; I help you cope with whatever is before you. This is how I live in you and work through you. This is the way of Peace.

He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
—Psalm 112:7

Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly].
—1 Thessalonians 5:17 amp

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
—Isaiah 41:10 nkjv

Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty.

April 16, 2018

OneWalk: Under the Sun, with the Son

Today’s Bible Verse, Reading, Devotion, Worship Song and Prayer

Today’s verse

That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 NLT

Today’s reading
Ecclesiastes 12
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes+12&version=NLT

Throughout Ecclesiastes, Solomon attempts to put life into perspective. He urges us to remember that the things we most often rely on for our happiness are just temporary. This includes our possessions, our relationships, our wisdom, and our work. These things are important, certainly, but only God can bring us genuine, lasting contentment. Our life is best aligned well when we’re primarily concerned with pleasing him by living lives of gratitude and obedience. Everything we have, including our very existence, ultimately belongs to God—and one day we will have to answer for how we have managed these gifts.

In Ecclesiastes 3:17, Solomon warns that one day God will judge all of us for how we’ve lived. God assigns this task of judging to Jesus alone (John 5:22-30). He will judge and reward his followers for the quality and character of their acts of service (2 Corinthians 5:10). He will also preside over the final judgment, when each person’s ultimate destiny will be determined, once and for all (Revelation 20:11-15).

Jesus Calling
http:/www.jesuscalling.com/app/

WHEN I GIVE YOU no special guidance, stay where you are. Concentrate on doing your everyday tasks in awareness of My Presence with you. The Joy of My Presence will shine on you as you do everything for Me. Thus you invite Me into every aspect of your life. Through collaborating with Me in all things, you allow My Life to merge with yours. This is the secret of not only joyful living but of victorious living. I designed you to depend on Me moment by moment, recognizing that apart from Me you can do nothing.
Be thankful for quiet days, when nothing special seems to be happening. Instead of being bored by the lack of action, use times of routine to seek My Face. Although this is an invisible transaction, it speaks volumes in spiritual realms. Moreover, you are richly blessed when you walk trustingly with Me through the routines of your day.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
—Colossians 3:23

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
—John 15:5

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.
—Psalm 105:4

Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Lord and Savior. I need You, I love You, I’m sorry, forgive me, thank You. Help me to deal with my need to know and understand vs. my desire to just trust in You.

My desire is that Your presence in me be visible to those who cross my path each day. So that they would want to know You, and seek Your presence as well. This is my wish, this is my prayer. Help me!

Complete and Effective Dominion

My Utmost for His Highest
https://utmost.org/complete-and-effective-dominion/

Death no longer has dominion over Him.…the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God…
ROMANS 6:9-11

Even the weakest saint can experience the power of the deity of the Son of God, when he is willing to “let go.” But any effort to “hang on” to the least bit of our own power will only diminish the life of Jesus in us. We have to keep letting go, and slowly, but surely, the great full life of God will invade us, penetrating every part. Then Jesus will have complete and effective dominion in us, and people will take notice that we have been with Him.

Today’s verse

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+3&version=NLT

Philippians 3:8-9 NLT
[8] Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ [9] and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.

Jesus Calling

THIS IS THE DAY THAT I HAVE MADE. Rejoice and be glad in it. Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that I am pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since I am the Author of your circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank Me for them. This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees Me to work My ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it.
To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. I knew what I was doing when I divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. I understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in My Presence today.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
—Psalm 118:24

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
