No Burden

No Burden
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow


There is no burden beyond His strength…
no boundaries to His love…
no limit to His mercies…
no problem outside His solution…
no need beyond His care.

 
I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness; for You have exalted Your name and Your word above everything (Psalm 138:2 NRSV).

My Morning Prayer: He Reduces to Increase

My Morning Prayer: He Reduces to Increase
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow


 
Don’t be discouraged today if you sense God’s hand doing its sanctifying work in your life. If He is trimming your wick, it is only to make your light shine brighter; if He is allowing you to be pressed within His caring hands, it is only to release the flow of the sweet wine of His Spirit.
 
Humble yourself under His mighty hand, and as you do, allow this prayer to be upon your lips: Father, work in me what I cannot work; do in me what I cannot do; be in me what I cannot be; live through me what I cannot live—for I know it is through You, and You alone, that my life will be to the praise of Your glory. Amen.

He prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more (John 15:2 NLT).

Timely Tidbits of Truth 12

Timely Tidbits of Truth 12
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

There’s plenty of ENOUGH in Jesus,
to be more than ENOUGH for you!

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10 NKJV).

God Wants Us To Move...

God Wants Us To Move...
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

God wants us to move through this day with a quiet heart,
an inward assurance that He is in control,
a peaceful certainty that our lives are in His hands,
a deep trust in His plan and purposes,
and a thankful disposition toward all that He allows.
 
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness 
(Lamentations 3:22, 23 NRSV).

My Morning Prayer: A Prayer of Service

My Morning Prayer: A Prayer of Service
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
 
God, here are my hands; work through them as I give myself to Your assigned tasks. Here is my voice, speak Your words through me as I follow Your promptings. Here are my feet; guide them in the paths of righteousness as I obey Your leading. Here is my heart; fill it with the love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things…the love that never fails—for Your glory. Amen.

We ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake (2 Corinthians 4:5 NLT).
