Storing Up Trust

Psalm 56:3-4

The Message (MSG)

A David Psalm, When He Was Captured by the Philistines in Gath

56 ^1-4 Take my side, God—I’m getting kicked around,
    stomped on every day.
Not a day goes by
    but somebody beats me up;
They make it their duty
    to beat me up.
When I get really afraid
    I come to you in trust.
I’m proud to praise God;
    fearless now, I trust in God.

    

What can mere mortals do?

Psalm 56:3-4

New International Version (NIV)

³ When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
⁴     In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?

 

 

 

 

Good Morning Lord. Here we are again. I am placing my trust in you today. Yesterday was terrible. Found out a student posted profanity on my educational edmodo account. Now its down to investigation. That was devastating. How dare they do something so despicable. Probably thought it was so funny to say that to another student. But I am not going to let that get me down. I will practice trusting you Lord, today and tomorrow and the next day and the next day. Thank you Lord for giving me something to trust in. I love you.

God's Pace

 

 

Galatians 1:1-10

New International Version (NIV)

1 Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by a man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— ² and all the brothers and sisters^[a] with me,

To the churches in Galatia:

³ Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, ⁴ who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, ⁵ to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

No Other Gospel

⁶ I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— ⁷ which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! ⁹ As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
¹⁰ Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.



Father God Thank You for your blessings and your mercy. I will no be impatient today. I will not stress on the small things. Thank you for walking with me on my journey. My journey is not always easy but with you its doable.

Lord I seek the approval of God. Help me to keep my focus on God's approval and not man's approval. While I am out in the world today trying to do a good job at my job, help me to make right decisions that are promoting God like values. When I seek to be a better teacher, I seek to do that along God's path. I am God in the Flesh. Jesus came for me and saved me. I am loved and cherished by God. Lord I lost my classroom keys, help me to find them. Help me to have a better day. When I have confused that goal and I am seeking the approval of others, let me see God in the situation. When I am working with God's approval nothing can stop me. Keep me working towards your goal Lord. I want to be nearer to you, doing your will. Have a wonderfully blessed day today. I love you.

A New Day

Good Morning Lord. Today is a new day. I am ready for the challenges and victories. I look forward to everything. I will be patient and listen to my students. I will remember that I want to be the type of teacher I would have liked for my children. I can make it through this day. You can do anything for 10 hours. All things are possible. I have not and will not walk negatively towards anyone or anything. My mind is alert and my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. I'm ready for today. Travel will not get me down. No problems today will defeat me. I am excited about today. Have a blessed day today. I love you.

I am Trusting

God is near. God is here. We are God in the Flesh. I am experiencing a miracle. God died for me. I believe in the spirit and its power over my life. I'm listening to for Just for Me - Shekinah Glory - off of Refreshed By Fire CD. It just started playing when I came into the room - the song before this - but I am renewed and refreshed by this song too. I know God is here. He wants me to remember, He did it just for me- if there was no one else, he did it just for me. My Lord will reign on the throne forever and ever. Thank You Lord for loving me so much. I am loving you so much right now. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone.

Faithful

Lord I am so thankful that I went to church today. Everybody in my household tried to discourage me. They told me I was risking my life. Thank God I decided to go. The weather outside is frightful. But it was nice and warm in church. Our spirit was renewed. I was challenged to take that leap of faith. Just believe enough to trust and have faith. I trust you. I trust you to be faithful. I thank you for everything. God gives us so many chances to do better. I have to thank God for letting someone speak up and say something about these children walking to school and waiting for a bus in sub zero temperatures. Thank God for some sense of care for their health. It looks so bad when every school around can close showing concern for the students, but not this one. Finally, after being prodded and pushed probably, they close. Yea. I have high hopes for them yet. 2014 is my year of expectation and manifestation.  I'm believing that God has something in store for me and its right around the corner. I feel something is going to happen. Something is different. Something is changing. The clouds are lifting. There is hope. It's time for a change. Time to take that leap of faith. Believe. Trust. I love you.

Make Me Ready

 

Luke 21:34-36

New International Version (NIV)

³⁴ “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. ³⁵ For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. ³⁶ Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

Good Morning Lord, thank you for today. Lord I pray that you make me ready for what is ahead of me this year. Your goodness and your strength are with me daily. Lord you are before me and beside me. You prepare the way and you guide me through it. You are with me always. Your will be done in my life. I will not weigh myself down with burdens and issues. You are with me always and I know that. Lord help me to be ready. Let me see the signs and follow your path. I love you.

Reconcile

 

 

Colossians 1:19-21

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁹ For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, ²⁰ and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

Luke 10:41-42

New International Version (NIV)

⁴¹ “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, ⁴² but few things are needed—or indeed only one.^[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Thank You Lord for today. Today I have to remember the importance of time. The weather will make you just sit and think. Thank you for making me just sit and do just that. I will grade these papers today. I will pray to be reconciled to you. You are wonderful and special. My life is incomplete without you involved on a daily basis. I pray that today I am able to please you Lord. You are my rock and my salvation. Thank you for new mercies daily. I love you.
