Icing on the Cake

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Praise song: Your Grace and Mercy

 


Meditation:

    When a cake is covered with frosting, all you can see is the sculptor's intricate design, incorporating precise shapes and patterns to achieve an appealing finish. Cakes that are broken are not discarded but covered so you cannot see the imperfections that lie beneath the attractive decorations of their beautiful frosting. This is what grace does to our brokenness. The grace of God is a redeeming act of love that covers our brokenness like icing on a cake, transforming it into His radiant beauty until we are completely whole. God's grace is sufficient to forgive and cleanse all sins, offering a path to redemption and a new beginning. 

    No matter the condition of our heart, the grace of God who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Jesus Christ will strengthen, establish, and make you perfect. The grace of God is sufficient, and his strength is made perfect in our weakness. We are here today thriving in his unyielding grace and mercy. Blessed beyond measure is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, I praise you for being a perfect, holy, and trustworthy God. Your grace, O God, is abundantly sufficient to forgive and cleanse all sins. Lord God, I am profoundly grateful for your grace; without it, I would have been a hopeless case, empty and broken, struggling to rise above my circumstances. Lord, I am deeply grateful for your boundless grace that sustains us, for your sacrificial love, and for the gift of salvation. Thank you, Lord God, that you have not discarded this broken vessel but have redeemed and remodeled it for your glory. Father, I avail myself to be used as your oracle, ready to be used according to your purpose in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Be safe. Shalom. ✌💖🙏

    Cake or icing. We were a cake until icing covers us. As a cake we were not whole until our brokenness was discovered. What a beautiful lesson. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

Regardless of Your Enemies

Good morning Scripture reading: Esther 6 -7 Worship song: God Favors Me   Meditation:      When God is for you, who can stand against you? Trusting in God's sovereignty, Mordecai prayed and fasted, allowing the Lord to deliver justice and repay Haman for his wicked plots. In a stunning twist of fate, Haman was summoned by King Ahasuerus to personally lead a parade for Mordecai, shouting out the very praises he had planned for himself. Haman's evil plot to destroy Mordecai was reversed. His plan backfired and he became the victim of his own conspiracy.       When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Do not be afraid of your enemies; fear not the plans of men, remain calm, and rely not on your own strength, but God's sovereign power. Surrender your battles to the Lord and let him fight for you. The God who delivered Mordecai from the gallows is the same God who will rescue you, turni...

Good morning Scripture reading: Exodus 18:5-12 Worship song: I'll Say of The Lord   Meditation:      Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, along with Moses' wife and two sons, traveled to the Israelites' camp, where Moses was stationed near the mount of God. After a heartfelt greeting with Jethro, Moses confidently shared with great assurance how the Lord had miraculously delivered the Israelites from Pharaoh's oppression, emphasizing his unwavering faithfulness as he sustained them throughout the wilderness. Jethro was greatly impacted by Moses' testimony. Every doubt he had about God's sovereignty was shattered. He was confident that there was no god greater than the Lord God and none above Him. He was exceedingly glad, rejoicing with appreciation for God's loyalty to the Israelites.       Our conversation and shared faith should create an atmosphere that encourages others to believe in and acknowledge God's faithfulness. Our discussions shoul...

Rejoice Not Over a Fall

Good morning Scripture reading: Proverbs 24:16-19 Worship song: I Will Boast In Christ   Meditation:      We often celebrate the downfall of our enemies in ignorance, but true wisdom advises us against taking satisfaction in the suffering or failure of our enemies. We are called to serve and pray, fulfilling God's will by loving our enemies rather than condemning them or gloating when they stumble. Instead of feeling excited when our enemies stumble, we must sincerely pray for them.       Whatever persecution we encounter at the hands of our enemies, the ultimate response is to earnestly pray. Do not condemn others; leave all vengeance to God. As you ponder these profound words, ask yourself this provocative question: What do you do or say when your enemy stumbles? Do you feel a sense of excitement when you hear about their misfortune? We are cautioned against rejoicing over a fall, lest our actions displease the Lord. Let us pray...

An Influenced Mind

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 12:1-2 Worship song: Change My Heart O God   Meditation:      It is essential to recognize that our minds can be profoundly influenced by the moral standards and behaviors of others, which can have a positive or negative impact on us. When we allow ourselves to be persuaded by flattery, praise, and compliments, we risk letting our lives be fashioned by others' opinions instead of our convictions. We must remember that Satan is a master of manipulation, seeking to invade and control our thoughts to influence our actions. We must be able to discern and recognize deceptive influences.       When we focus our minds on Christ, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will safeguard our minds. Our minds are influenced by what we gravitate to, so it is vital to keep our minds focused on God and his precepts. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. If we walk with the wise, we...
