Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things,
And revive me in Your way.
Establish Your word to Your servant,
Who is devoted to fearing You.
Turn away my reproach which I dread,
For Your judgments are good.
Behold, I long for Your precepts;
Revive me in Your righteousness.
Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD
Your salvation according to Your word. 🕊️
Psalms 119:33-41

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!
All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!
Thank You!
All the day through, Father, I pray I may follow Your leading me and guiding my hearth and thoughts towards service and shinning Your light with Love towards others whom I may come in contact.
I want to follow my Lord Jesus’ example and His Word, the importance of living and walking in Love, towards all people.
Father, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they each receive Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, and trust their lives and the leading of the path before them.
May they be safe today, and may they be successful in whatever endeavor or new challenge they chose to take on.
Bless my day today O Lord, may I shine Your light in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it. 🕊️

Thank You!
Father, I praise You for Your Mercy and Grace!
My Faith increases daily, through the hearing of Your word when at church and in fellowship with other saints, but also and more specifically in my personal reading Your Word, studying and absorbing as I reading each gospel passage.
O Lord, I wish the same with everyone I know and specifically my children, that they all come to know You in a personal relationship.
Now I lift up All my children before You, all my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they be kept safe this day, may they sense Your presence in their lives and may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guide them in the Way and may they shine bright, like the stars of heaven, and bring glory to Your Holy name, Jesus!
Bless my day Lord, may I walk in the light with You and shine Your light, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.
For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 🕊️

Father, my heart goes out to all those who live in prisons around the world, suffering in silence, no end in sight for a trial or date to be heard, or if there may even be possible, a release from their suffering and pain.
Lord, I lift up their households and those waiting for their loved ones to be released.
I pray Father, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, visit with them and bless them with the gifts from above, which they might be a light and positive encouragement to all the others who are also suffering around them.
May Your Spirit, instill in them a Faith to believe on the name of Jesus Christ, their Deliverer, may they see You Lord, in every Word they read from their bibles and every prayer they lift up before You, may they find comfort in Your presence as they pray today, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 🕊️
O Lord, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may they each receive Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, and sense Your presence in their lives, working within them the will to do Your work, sharing the Love You placed in their hearts, with all those who live in darkness around them, may they be Yourlights and a fresh breath, when they share Your name, Jesus, as their Redeemer, their Salvation!
May they be kept safe today and wearing the full armor of God, walk in confidence facing any and all the challenges that may come their way today, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 🕊️
Bless me today O Lord, that I might shine and be a blessing to my Family, and even to the strangers I come across in my day, bless the work of my hands and the words I share in my blog, may Your Spirit go with them and bring them Your comfort and Your Peace, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 🕊️
🕊️ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 🕊️

And shall declare Your mighty acts.
I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
And on Your wondrous works.
Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,
And I will declare Your greatness.
They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness,
And shall sing of Your righteousness.
The LORD is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
The LORD is good to all,
And His tender mercies are over all His works. 🕊️

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” 🕊️

🕊️ The Character of Those Who May Dwell with the LORD
A Psalm of David.
LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle?
Who may dwell in Your holy hill?
He who walks uprightly,
And works righteousness,
And speaks the truth in his heart;
He who does not backbite with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the LORD;
He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
He who does not put out his money at usury,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be moved. 🕊️
Psalms 15:1-5

Bless me now, today Lord, in my efforts to serve You, in my daily walk, witnessing and giving testimony of Your Grace. May our dog, Simba be healed from a problem with his leg, may Your healing be upon him now Father.
I thank You Lord for providing us the care and support we need to keep us safe and healthy, I pray an extension of that Grace upon Simba now Father.

🕊️ Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 🕊️

🕊️ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 🕊️

🕊️ But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
“Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, (trespasses)
As we forgive our debtors. (trespassers)
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen!
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 🕊️

Life’s lessons:
I read a story this morning, about a blessing and appreciation, which can be both about the flesh and the spirit, and how one affects the other.
The son went to the dealership, came back to his father and said, “They offered me $10,000 because it looks very used.” The father said, “Take it to a pawn shop.”
The son went to the pawn shop, came back and said, “They only offered me $1,000 because they say it is too old.”
Finally, the father asked his son to take the car to a classic car club and show it there. The son took the car to the club, came back and said, “Some people at the club offered me $100,000! because it is a very rare car and sought after among the members.”
The father said to his son, “I wanted you to understand that the right place appreciates you in the right way. If they don’t value you, don’t be angry, it just means you’re in the wrong place. Those who know your value are the ones who truly appreciate you. Never stay in a place where they don’t recognize your value!”

May Your Holy Spirit fill my mind, heart, and spirit, may I be blessed with Your heavenly Wisdom, in using Your Word and Wisdom to encourage others who live in darkness and searching for the light.
May the stories I share be a blessing to others and lead them on their path to the light, and may Your Spirit be in it all, to the Glory of Your son, Jesus Christ, Amen!

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The LORD executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father pities his children,
So the LORD pities those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
And its place remembers it no more.
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
To such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them. 🕊️

And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.
And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” 🕊️
Matthew 21:20-22
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is not good to eat much honey;
So to seek one’s own glory is not glory.
Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls.
(Proverbs 25:27-28)
Starving the Ego
Oh Lord, as I experience success in different ways, I pray I will always give You the glory.
Keep my head level. Help me not to become bloated with pride and false importance.
It is so easy to feed on the sweetness of compliments rather than on the hard kernels of Your truth.
God, build up my self-control so I am protected from the desire to stuff my ego with empty words.
I pray that You see me as a person of substance and integrity.
Let my honor come from my association with Jesus, the King of Kings!

This war of flesh and spirit wages on, but so does my morning prayers, reaching to the “God of the impossible”, my Lord and my Shepherd, daily consulting You O Lord, to help me to fight the desires of my flesh and walk in the spirit, my spirit, which bears witness to Your Spirit strengthening me for my day, so thus I pray, may I walk in my spiritual man and not by my fleshly man.

Their heart is as fat as grease,
But I delight in Your law.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.
Your hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.
I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,
According to Your word to Your servant.
Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For Your law is my delight.
Let the proud be ashamed,
For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;
But I will meditate on Your precepts.
Let those who fear You turn to me,
Those who know Your testimonies.
Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,
That I may not be ashamed. 🕊️

I lift him up before You then, together, as two, standing before You, and I ask it again today Jesus, may he be healed from within and come to remembrance of the words we shared that day, so long ago, may he walk with You O Lord, and may he follow the Way, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

🕊️ “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.
If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’
And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church.
But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.
“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” 🕊️
Matthew 18:15-20

🕊️ Love Your Neighbor
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore Love is the fulfillment of the law. 🕊️

Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
“Behold, I have created the blacksmith,
Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the LORD. Hallelujah! 🕊️
Isaiah 54:13-17

The Watchman and His Message
🕊️ Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
“So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. 🕊️
Ezekiel 33:1-9

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!
All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!
Thank You!
Father, You continue Your blessing upon my life, through the work of The Holy Spirit of Promise!
Thank You Lord!
I am blessed every morning, in reading Your Word, the images in my head as I read, I’ve re-created them in my own way, the task and journey is amazing, along with reading the encouraging stories of the Faithful journey of the early disciples, and Your guiding direction for my life.
I pray I may be used by You Father, as Your child of the light, sharing Your Word, and Your Way, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Lord, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may they receive Your Holy Spirit in their lives today, may they stay safe, may they sense Your presence in their lives and learn from Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, may their lives produce fruit, as Your growing, and beautiful members in the family of Faith, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
But they have not all obeyed the gospel.
For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?”
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:
“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.” 🕊️
Romans 10:14-18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
🕊️ Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word.
Open my eyes, that I may see
Wondrous things from Your law.
I am a stranger in the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me.
My soul breaks with longing
For Your judgments at all times.
You rebuke the proud—the cursed,
Who stray from Your commandments.
Remove from me reproach and contempt,
For I have kept Your testimonies.
Princes also sit and speak against me,
But Your servant meditates on Your statutes.
Your testimonies also are my delight
And my counselors.
My soul clings to the dust;
Revive me according to Your word.
I have declared my ways, and You answered me;
Teach me Your statutes.
Make me understand the way of Your precepts;
So shall I meditate on Your wonderful works.
My soul melts from heaviness;
Strengthen me according to Your word.
Remove from me the way of lying,
And grant me Your law graciously.
I have chosen the way of truth;
Your judgments I have laid before me.
I cling to Your testimonies;
O LORD, do not put me to shame!
I will run the course of Your commandments,
For You shall enlarge my heart.
Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes,
And I shall keep it to the end.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law;
Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,
For I delight in it.
Incline my heart to Your testimonies,
And not to covetousness.
Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things,
And revive me in Your way.
Establish Your word to Your servant,
Who is devoted to fearing You.
Turn away my reproach which I dread,
For Your judgments are good.
Behold, I long for Your precepts;
Revive me in Your righteousness.
Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD—
Your salvation according to Your word. 🕊️
Psalms 119-17-41

For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
I, the LORD, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings. 🕊️
Jeremiah 17:7-10
~~~~~~~
🕊️ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” 🕊️
Matthew 12:35-37

Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Promised Faithfulness to the LORD
I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, O LORD, I will sing praises.
I will behave wisely in a perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
I will set nothing wicked before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not cling to me. 🕊️
