The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not lack


Inspirational Bible Verses

THE LORD IS
MY SHEPHERD I SHALL NOT WANT

God Is The
Source Of Our Supply! Amen!

Psalm 23:1

A dear lady
once shared an amazing testimony with me – she had no job or means of income,
thus for several years, she couldn’t pay her mortgage bills. A number of times,
the bank had called her and because she couldn’t pay, she was taken to court.
However, one day during the period, she saw a pastor on TV and started
listening to the message of the gospel. On her first appearance in court, the
manager who came representing the bank told her “lady, don’t cry. It’s going to
be okay!” there and then, all her debts were cancelled! What a Mighty God we
serve!

If you’re
born again, it’s important you understand that God is your Source of Supply.
The government will never make you rich for no government was designed to make
anyone rich. When you recognize the Lord as your Source and Provider you’ll
discover that your financial prosperity has nothing to do with government
policies or the state of the economy in the country where you live. That’s when
you realize that it’s possible to be admitted into school while someone else is
paying your tuition! That’s when you become conscious of the fact that you can
own a car without paying for it, you can live in a house that you didn’t build
or pay for, just as the Bible says: “And
the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister
unto thee….”
(Isaiah 60:10)

When you
recognize the Lord as your Source, you’ll never lack food, shelter or clothing,
rather you’ll have all your needs met, for they that seek the Lord shall not
want any good thing (Psalm 34:10). Even without seeing the physical amount of
money, you’ll never run dry, because God is your Source!

Learn to
believe and trust the Lord to take care of you; He is more than able to give
you much more than you could ever need! He wants you to always have more than
enough, so that besides having all you need for yourself, you can be of help
and a great blessing to others as well.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father! Thank You for
the teaching of Your Word that I’ve received today! I declare that You’re My
Source and My Great Provider; therefore all my needs are met according to Your
riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I rejoice for Your wonderful blessings I enjoy
every day, and thank You for making me a blessing to others, in Jesus Christ
Name! Amen!

There Is No God!

THERE IS NO
GOD

Only a fool would say “There is no
God!” People like that are worthless; they are heartless and cruel and never do
right (Psalm 14:1 CEV).

A gentleman
said at one time, “I don’t believe in miracles. I believe in my hard work.” So,
he worked hard all his life and he was of course rewarded. He prospered
financially and was elevated in the society. He believed everything he needed
in life could only come through his hard work and categorized as lazy folks
those who looked forward to miracles.

Many years
later, he became very sick and the doctors diagnosed the problem to be cancer.
He spent everything he had just to keep alive through chemotherapy and several
others treatment administered to him in the hospitals he visited around the
world. He sold everything he had, but his health still worsened. Finally, he
sent for a minister to come and pray for him. When the man of God got to him,
he looked at his emaciated body and asked, “Do you believe in miracle?” “I
never believed in miracles but I think I need one right now” He responded. The
man had thought he was smart. He didn’t know he was playing the fool for the
Bible already says, “Only a fool would say ‘There is no God’…” (Psalm 53:1
CEV).

I believe in
miracles and the reason is that I believe in God. If there’s God, He must be
powerful enough to intervene in the natural laws. Also, He should be caring and
loving enough to help man beyond the realm of medical science. This has been
proved many times over by the myriads of testimonies emanating all over the
world.

Hard work is
good, but that alone isn’t enough to get you through life victoriously. The
system of this world will take you up for only a short while. Permanent success
with permanent prosperity can be found only in God. The Bible reminds us of the
limited ability of physical strength in Ecclesiastes 9:11 “……the race is not to
the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet
riches to men of understanding, not yet favour to men of skill….” This is the reason
I feel sorry for those people who want to get ahead in life with the principles
of the system of this world, rather than with Christ Jesus!

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father, I am so
grateful to You for revealing Yourself to me. I will always testify of Your
Love and Kindness, so the whole world will recognize Your miracle-working power
in my life, and believe in The Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!

Teach Us To Number Our Days That We May Gain A Heart Of Wisdom (Psalm 90:12) Grandfather’s Clock

TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS THAT WE MAY GAIN A HEART OF
WISDOM (PSALM 90:12)

GRANDFATHER’S CLOCK

In 1876, Henry Clay Work wrote the song “My Grandfather’s
Clock.” The song describes a grandfather’s clock that faithfully ticks its way
through its owner’s life. Childhood, adulthood, and old age are all viewed in
relationship to his beloved timepiece. The refrain says:

Ninety years without
slumbering,

Tick, tock, tick,
tock,

His life’s seconds
numbering,

Tick, tock, tick,
tock,

But it stopped, short,

Never to go again,

When the old man died.

The relentless ticking of the clock reminds us that our time
on earth is limited. Despite the joys and pains of life, time always marches
on. For the believer, our time on earth is an opportunity for gaining wisdom.
The psalmist writes, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of
wisdom” (Psalm 90:12).

One way of numbering our days is to ask ourselves these
kinds of questions: How can I become more like Christ? Am I reading the Bible
regularly? Am I devoting time to prayer? Am I meeting together with other
believers? The way we answer these questions is an indicator of the progress
we’re making in gaining wisdom and becoming more like Christ Jesus.

No matter the phase of life – childhood, youth, middle age,
or our senior years – life always afford us opportunities to grow in faith and
wisdom. Numbering our days is the wise response to life’s inevitable progress.

How are you progressing on your journey? – Dennis Fisher

Don’t spend your time
– invest it!

May God Almighty Our Heavenly Father
prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend them from all their enemies in Jesus
Christ Name, Amen!

 

Hero worship! I wil praise You, For I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)

HEROES WORSHIP! I WILL PRAISE YOU, FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND
WONDERFULLY MADE (PSALM 139:14)

When I was a kid, I had a hero: Peter Maravich, a
high-scoring basketball player who handled the ball like a magician.

Problem was, my desire to be like Pistol Pete blocked my
satisfaction with who God made me to be. When I realized I could never play
like Pete, I grew discouraged. I even quit my college team briefly because I
couldn’t measure up to the Maravich standard.

Kids still do that kind of things. They grow unhappy with
who God made them to be because they measure themselves by their “perfect”
heroes.

Christian singer Jonny Diaz recognized this and wrote a song
called “More Beautiful You.” The song begins: “Little girl fourteen flipping
through a magazine; says she wants to look that way.” Some young girls wish
they could be like Disney star Selena Gomez or another star the way I wanted to
be like Maravich. Diaz sings, “There could never be a more beautiful you; don’t
buy the lies……; you were made to fill a purpose that only you could do.” Diaz
is saying what another songwriter said under the inspiration of God thousands
of years ago: “[We are] fearfully and wonderfully made”. (Ps. 139:14).

God made us the way He wants us to be. Believe it! There
could never be a more beautiful you- Dave Branon

Lord, we are Yours,
You are our God;

We have been made so
wondrously;

This human frame in
every part

Your wisdom, power,
and love we see

We are beautiful
masterpieces designed by God!

May God Almighty Our Heavenly Father

The Power Of Praise And Worship.


The Power of Praise & Worship

By Dr. Dale A. Robbins.

Acts 16:23-26 “And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
(24) Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
(25) And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
(26) And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.”

This Bible story begins the unjust arrest of Paul and Silas. Because they had cast a spirit of divination out of a girl, the local Philippian authorities beat them and then threw them into a jail cell. Besides the trauma of the severe beating, they were fastened in stocks which clamped their arms and legs in an immobile position, causing cramps and loss of circulation. The atmosphere there was depressing. According to the standards of that day, a prison was more like the resemblance of a dungeon. A dark, damp, stench-ridden place, with no facility for waste or comforts of any kind.

Yet, in spite of the throbbing pain in their bodies and the disheartening atmosphere, at midnight Paul and Silas were heard praying and singing praises to God! What a strange sound this must have been to the other prisoners, who were used to only hearing the groans or cursings of those who had been beaten.

Then suddenly, there was an earthquake that shook the prison! The doors flung open, and amazingly, the bonds of Paul, Silas, and every other prisoner were released! What caused this mighty discharge of power?

Praise Elevates us into God’s Presence and Power

Paul and Silas knew the secret of how to lift their hearts above their troubles and enter into God’s presence and power. Through praise and worship their hearts were raised into the joyous presence and peace of God, and provided God a channel for his power to operate in their circumstances.

The Bible says that God inhabits in the praises of His people (Psalms 22:3). In other words, God “dwells” in the atmosphere of His praise. This means that praise is not merely a reaction from coming into His presence – Praise is a vehicle of faith which brings us into the presence and power of God! Praise and worship is the “gate-pass” which allows us to enter the sacredness of His glory. The psalmist writes, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name” (Psalms 100:4).

This corresponds with Jesus’ teaching, that His presence will inhabit the gathering of believers who congregate in His name: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). A “gathering in His name” means that Jesus must be the focus, the center of the assemblage. He must be the one preached about, sung about — the one praised and worshiped. “I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee” (Hebrews 2:12). Consequently, Christ’s presence, along with His virtue and anointing, is manifested in this type of gathering.

Have you ever noticed when “gifts of the Spirit” operate in a church service? The power and anointing of the Holy Spirit usually becomes evident, subsequent to a time of worship and praise. Some think that worship is a response after the Holy Spirit moves upon them. However, it’s the other way around. God’s presence responds when we move upon Him with worship! Lifting up Jesus Christ through praise and worship invokes the Lord’s presence and power to flow in our midst.

What is Praise?

Praise means “to commend, to applaud or magnify.” For the Christian, praise to God is an expression of worship, lifting-up and glorifying the Lord. It is an expression of humbling ourselves and centering our attention upon the Lord with heart-felt expressions of love, adoration and thanksgiving. High praises bring our spirit into a pinnacle of fellowship and intimacy between ourselves and God — it magnifies our awareness of our spiritual union with the most high God. Praise transports us into the realm of the supernatural and into the power of God. “Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance” (Psalms 89:15).

There are many actions involved with praise to God — verbal expressions of adoration and thanksgiving, singing, playing instruments, shouting, dancing, lifting or clapping our hands. But true praise is not “merely” going through these motions. Jesus spoke about the hypocrisy of the pharisees, whose worship was only an outward show and not from the heart. “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me” (Matthew 15:8). Genuine praise to God is a matter of humility and sincere devotion to the Lord from within.

Unpretentious praise and worship pleases the Lord. He delights in the love and devotion of His children. According to the scriptures, the various expressions of praise bring blessing to the Lord. He eagerly awaits the fragrance of our affections, desiring to manifest His sweet presence and power in our midst. “…the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” (John 4:23).

Praise to God is a Lifestyle

All too often, praise to God is something that many people leave at church, an event that happens only when they come together with other Christians. However, praise should be a part of a believers lifestyle, inter-mingled as a part of their daily prayer-life. At work, in the car, at home in bed, or anywhere; praise to the Lord brings the refreshing of the Lord’s presence, along with His power and anointing. “…I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalms 34:1).

Praise is an expression of faith, and a declaration of victory! It declares that we believe God is with us and is in control of the outcome of all our circumstances (Romans 8:28). Praise is a “sacrifice,” something that we offer to God sacrificially, not just because we feel like it, but because we believe in Him and wish to please Him. “By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name” (Hebrews 13:15).

Praise Sends the Enemy Running

Since praise manifests God’s presence, we also realize that praise repels the presence of the enemy, Satan. An atmosphere which is filled with sincere worship and praise to God by humble and contrite hearts is disgusting to the Devil. He fears the power in the name of Jesus, and flees from the Lord’s habitation in praise. “Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God” (Psalms 50:23).

When the children of Judah found themselves outnumbered by the hostile armies of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, King Jehoshophat and all the people sought the Lord for His help. The Lord assured the people that this would be His battle. He told them to go out against them, and He would do the fighting for them. So what did the children of Judah do? Being the people of “praise” (Judah actually means Praise), and knowing that God manifests His power through praise, they sent their army against their enemies, led by the praisers!

So on they went, ahead of the army declaring, “Praise the Lord, for His mercy endureth forever!” And the scripture says, “…when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten” (2 Chronicles 20:22).

When God’s people begin to praise His name, it sends the enemy running! I challenge you to become a person of praise, and you will experience the release of the power of God!

Clapping hands and shouting (Psalms 47:1)

Be A Blessing To Others! Choose To Live A Meaningful Life; By Watering Others, You Water Yourself

BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS! CHOOSE
TO LIVE A MEANINGFUL LIFE; BY WATERING OTHERS, YOU WATER YOURSELF

It is possible to give
away and become richer! It is also possible to hold on too tightly and lose
everything. Yes, the liberal man shall be rich! By watering others, he water
himself (Proverbs 11:24-25 TLB)

It’s not enough to live long; it’s what you live for that
really matters. There are those who live for more than a hundred years, but
made no impact in the lives of those around them; there was just nothing
significant about their lives. They really didn’t contribute to their society;
always “taking”, never giving back.

Are you contributing positively to the advancement of the
lives of those around you? This is a question you must ask yourself and truthfully
answer. Choose to live a meaningful life. One that’ll make the world move
forward, touching the lives of others in a positive way. Be a blessing to
others, and you’ll always be lifted, for you are lifted as you lift others!
Your promotion is in your promoting others. Your success is discovered when you
help others become successful. You’ll never discover the treasure God has kept
in you until you reach out to help someone else become something. That’s where
real joy is! This is because “The liberal
soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself”
(Proverbs 11:25
). Hallelujah!

God will make happen for you what you make happen for
others. So keep helping those around you stand strong and tall; help them
discover their God-given potentials; be a part of their success story. If
you’re an employer, help those in your employ realize their dreams for success.
In the same way, as an employee in an organization, be diligent; commit
yourself to improving that organization. Make the progress of that organization
your priority, for in her prosperity shall you also prosper.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,
I ask that You grant me today, the grace, wisdom and strength to always
recognize the need of those around me, that I may bring them hope, and inspire
them to success and greatness. I thank You for making me a lifter and helper of
others. Today, I choose to help someone be a success, in Jesus Christ Name.
Amen!

God Takes Pleasure In The Prosperity Of His Children.

GOD TAKES PLEASURE IN THE PROSPERITY OF HIS CHILDREN.

God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His children. The fact
is, He longs to see His children live every day in prosperity. Once you can
find your place in God, you’ll prosper as God has ordained: “The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,
and He addeth no sorrow with it”
(Proverbs 10:22). Any of His children who
is not prospering in His Word hasn’t found his place yet.

God will never withhold any good thing from us (Psalm
84:11). As a fact, He loves to give to us more abundantly above all that we can
ever think or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). He can give you whatever you desire
beyond what your mind could ever fathom. All you need do is to believe and
trust Him; you shouldn’t limit Him in anyway.

God created the galaxy, the sun, the moon, and the starry
heavens. The earth is just a minute part of everything God created. The best of
all His creation is you; you are His masterpiece, the crown of His creation
(Ephesians 2:10). The sun was created big, the earth was created spherical and
big, but you were created with the greatest precision, even to the most
minuscule detail. For example, you were created with fingerprints that are
unique to you alone. You were beautifully and wonderfully created to produce results
(Psalm 139:14). The whole creation isn’t complete without you for every other
thing was created for you.

This is why I love to celebrate God. When you learn to
celebrate Him without reservations and in spite of your situation, His power
will be released upon your life. That power makes you a productive and fruitful
person. Remember, you’re the fruit-bearing part of the vine.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank
You for giving me Your Spirit to remind me constantly of Your unending love for
me. Let this love be evident in my life and continually flow from my lips so
all will know that You take pleasure in them as You do in me, in Jesus Christ
Name, Amen!

The Lord Is My Shepherd. I Shall Not Want.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT.

God’s divine power
has already given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness. Note
that this scripture (2 Peter 1:2-3) is in the present perfect tense; therefore
it’s not a promise. This means that God has already done it; His divine power
has already given us all things that we need to live the good and prosperous
life. Praise God, all my needs are met and I have no reason to lack anything in
life! No wonder the Psalmist said, “The
Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want”
(Psalm 23:1).

You must copy or imitate his mentality. You shouldn’t lack
for the Lord is now your Shepherd. He makes you lie down in green pastures, He
leads you beside the still waters, and He restores your soul (Psalm 23:3).

Refuse to lack anything. Reject the lack mentality. How do
you do this? It is by being supply – conscious! Don’t be afraid of your supply
drying up. Rather, look to your ever-loving Shepherd who supplies your every
need according to His riches in glory. Two men were asked the level of fuel in
the tank. One answered, “It is half-empty”. The other looked and happily
declared, “It is half-full”. Definitely, the first man was lack-conscious while
the second was supply-conscious. Learn to be supply – conscious.

Know this, you’re a child of God, therefore your life is in
the Shepherd’s hands. This is why you can say like the Psalmist, “The Lord is
my Shepherd, I shall not want for money, shelter  or food; I shall not want for any good thing
in this life.” Glory to God! Amen!

CONFESSION

Young lions may go
hungry or even starve, but I trust the Lord, therefore I will never lack
anything good. The Lord supplies all my needs according to His abundant riches
in glory by Christ Jesus, Amen!

Become A High – Flyer In Jesus Christ Name! Soar Like An Eagle! Intimacy With God

BECOME A HIGH – FLYER IN JESUS NAME! SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE!
INTIMACY WITH GOD!

Progress can be in stages; from walking to running to
flying, Isaiah 40:31. The best of course is flying tirelessly like an eagle.
And the Bible says that is possible for those who wait upon the Lord.

Walking is steady, systematic progress. Running on the other
is rapid, steady progress. Whereas flying contains elements of sudden explosive
progress. (Mk.4:3-8; Mt 25:14-28; Acts 3:1-8; 1 Sam.17:34-37; 1 Sam 2:8; 1 Sam
16:11-13; Lk 5:1-17, Acts 5:14-16).

The secret of being a spiritual high flyer is intimacy with
Christ Jesus. Paul who moved from being an antichrist to an apostle spent
quality time in prayers and was so intimate with Christ. And since intimacy
requires mutual agreement, anyone who wants to be intimate with God must be
holy. (Jn 15:15; 1 Cor.15:9; 1 Cor.14:18; 1 Thes.5:17; Gal.2:20, Amos 3:3; 1
Pet.1:15-17; Psa.91:1; Psa 23:6)

What’s your choice? To Fly or to Crawl?

All You Need Is The Word Of God; The Light Of Life; The Lord Jesus Christ Who Is The Word Of God Made Flesh


Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglica...

Image via Wikipedia

Man is hopelessly lost until he receives God’s Word (2
Corinthians 4:3-4). The Word of God is the true light (John 1:9). This is the
light that you need to find your way through life. You see, the world is
pervaded by darkness and until you recognize the Word as the true Light, you’ll
continue to grope in life.

Fear, confusion, poverty, disease and death are all forms of
darkness. They all originated from the same source, the devil, who is himself
darkness. The reason many people fall by the way side in life is that they
didn’t have the light to go through the darkness of life and there was no light
for them to navigate, so they fell and plunged themselves deeper into darkness.

When you get a hold of the Word of God, your path becomes
illuminated and you’re able to find your way through life. If however you
neglect the Word and your choices are made in darkness, you’ll get yourself
into bigger trouble.

The Bible says, “He (God) sent His Word, and healed them,
and delivered them from their destructions” (Psalms 107:20). Therefore, it
makes no difference the type of darkness you’re going through today, all you
need is the Word of God; the Light of life; the Lord Jesus Christ Who is the
Word of God made flesh.

He said, “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever
believeth on me should not abide in darkness” (John 12:46). He’ll lead you
through the darkness of confusion, frustration, disease, poverty, and fear. You
can walk out of that darkness a victor today for the Light is coming to you
today through this devotional. Therefore, open your heart and receive
direction. Hallelujah! Amen!

PRAYER

Father, I thank You
for You have commanded Your Light to shine out of my darkness and this Light is
shinning in my heart. Therefore, my life is illuminated with the glory of your
Word; prosperity, and God – ideas are coming to me now and I’m making the right
choices in life, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Save the children, save your future.


Save the Children logo

Image via Wikipedia

According to
the Bible, children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord (Psalm 127:3). They
are a gift of trust, and God expects them to be raised in the right manner
(Proverbs 22:6). It’s therefore important that we, as God’s children, give them
special attention and care, whether or not they are our own children. Remember,
children are our extension; they are our future.

God wants us
to give special attention to the destitute children in our inner cities, who
have been left out of the scheme of things. Many of them are frustrated for
lack of opportunities. Our Lord Jesus Himself showed special love to the little
children during His earthly ministry. On one occasion, He rebuked those who
tried to stop the little children from coming to Him (Matthew 19:13-15).

Many of the
little children die every day out of starvation, with nobody to help. Others
are used by their parents or guardians to beg in the streets. When a young
child is made a beggar from a tender age, he would surely become a violent
adult; he would take out his anger and frustration at society. This is the
reason we must do something now. It is the reason we must do something now. It
is our responsibility to reach them and give them hope. You must understand that
when you save the children, you are actually saving your own future, for the
children are our future.

Save the
children. Give of your resources, your finances and your material blessings to
help provide for them. There are several opportunities open to you, if you
would only take up this responsibility. If you save them, you’ll save your
future. You may be the one to save the person who is being programmed from his
youth to destroy. In the same way, you may save a young person who may end up
saving your life from trouble in years to come.

PRAYER

FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR OPENING MY
EYES TO THE CRIES OF THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD. I YIELD MYSELF TO YOUR SPIRIT
TO RECEIVE INSPIRATION AND IDEAS TO SAVE THE CHILDREN. I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD
GIVE ME MORE AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO REACH THE NEEDY CHILDREN, IN JESUS
CHRIST NAME, AMEN!

Enjoy your life


Even From The Back, You Are A Beauty

Image by prayerfriends via Flickr

When your alarm clock goes off in the morning do you wish you could just stay in bed? Do your struggles and responsibilities weigh you down with frustration, boredom or hopeless? If these sentiments describe the way you feel about life, then you are not enjoying the fullness of life that Christ offers. He is not only our saviour but also our burden-bearer. God wants you to have a much better life – one that you enjoy! God will give you the ability to enjoy life, no matter what.
Here’s how you can enjoy your life
Notice God’s gifts and thank Him for them. Make it a daily practice to thank God for each new day when you wake up from bed.
Throughout the day, keep your mind on the good things in your life for which you’re grateful. Don’t forget to acknowledge basic blessings such as your ability to breathe, eat or smile.
Turn your worries into prayers. Whenever a worry enters your mind, find a promise of God that responds to it and turn it into prayer point. Know that worry can’t accomplish anything good, but faith in the LORD has great power, since nothing is impossible with God!
Be specific as you share your concern with God and trust Him to answer your prayers in the right way at the right time.
Look for fulfilment in the right place. Stop looking for true and lasting satisfaction in the wrong places, such as through your work, personal pleasure or accumulation of knowledge or material possessions. Realize that only God can provide the fulfilment you seek. Make a strong relationship with Him your top priority.
Prayer: Lord, I celebrate your goodness in my life and thank You for Your mercies! Amen!
Psalm 63:1-11.
