Lay Down Your Burdens

By

Good morning

Scripture Reading: St. Matthew 11:27-30

Worship Song: Come as You Are

 


Meditations:

    We often resort to music, entertainment, social media, and books to drown out misery when we become and feel burdened, overwhelmed, and frustrated by the day-to-day struggles, trials, and temptations that we try desperately to endure. We tend to rely on our strengths, but most times, we fail to win the battle. Satan's orchestrated plan is to defeat our purpose and put a stumbling block in our path to impede us. When our responsibilities become unbearable when we labor and are heavily laden, it is best to take it to the Lord in prayer, and he will give us rest. Let us approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Let us cast our burden upon the LORD, take it to the altar, and let the Lord sustain us. We have a high priest, Jesus Christ, who is touched by the feelings of our struggles and who will never suffer the righteous to be moved, so let us approach his throne and exchange his easy yoke for our burdens. He promised he would take our heavy load, so let us turn to Him, whose faithful word is sweeter than honey.

Let us pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father, God of mercy and grace, excellent is your name in all the earth, O God. Almighty God, mighty to save, I just want to lay prostrate at your feet, to humble myself before you, and to cast my cares upon you, Father. Lord God, in this moment of reflection, when my struggles are too much to bear, I just want to surrender them all to you and exchange them for your easy yoke. Father God, there is no place I would rather be than to dwell in your house all the days of my life, beholding your glory and basking in your presence. So, Father God, I beseech you to keep me near the cross, lest I stray from your presence and wander down the wrong path. Father, have your way in my life and use me for your glory to fulfill your promises in the name of Jesus Christ, our redeemer. Amen.

Have a peaceful and safe day. 💕🙏

    Life is easy when we are on the mountain but in the valley He restoreth our soul.
    The day to day struggles will wear on us but have a rich resources of God's grace. As Paul was told, My grace is sufficient to keep you. Let us tap into that resources.
    He remind us to cast our cares up on Him because He careth for us. He will help us find a way. Once our desire is towards Him first, He will will see us through.
    No day will ever be the same but no matter what we are going through He will fix it for us. Let us hold to His unchanging hands.
    Blessings.

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

Purification of The Heart

By

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...

Miracle Working God

Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less   Testimony:      When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done.     ...
