Timely Tidbits of Truth 76

Timely Tidbits of Truth 76
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
My SUPPLY is with you!
 
I am your Provider and Provision. I am your life. You are complete in Me. I Am your Keeper. You are never forgotten, and you are always loved. My spiritual riches, treasures, and blessings are yours, given freely through My grace. Your needs, no matter how great, will never diminish My supply.

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires (2 Peter 1:3-4 NIV).

Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life (1 Timothy 6:17-19 NLT).

Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 3

Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 3
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow


God is sovereign
.
 
In the days in which we live, God has a plan for America; He has a plan for His Church, the body of Christ; He has a plan for the nations; He has a plan for your life. God is working out His plan. Nothing can stop His plan or frustrate His purposes. God is not worried about what will happen or what He will be able to do. God knows what will happen and He knows what He will do. Nothing takes Him by surprise. He sees the future and He is already there. He knows where He is leading your life, and He knows how to get you there without shame and without blame.

God has a plan and a purpose for everything that He has made.
Everything is for His glory. All things were made by Him and for Him, and He is working all things out according to the council of His own will. He doesn’t need a consulting firm to give Him any tips, He doesn’t need any university professors to give Him any guidance, and He doesn’t need any religious leaders to give Him any counsel.

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan. God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God (Ephesians 1:3-12 KJV).
 
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all (Ephesians 4:6 KJV).

My Morning Prayer, You Are Set Apart

My Morning Prayer, You Are Set Apart
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

You Are Set Apart
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

You were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:11 NLT).
 
You have not been set apart to be neglected, to be empty and alone, to be useless and fruitless, to be mistreated and abused. You have been set apart by the Lord, for the Lord. He wants you all to Himself, without rival in your heart. He wants you to enjoy Him wholly, serve Him completely, and know Him fully.
 
You have been set apart for fellowship and for companionship with Him. You are His sanctified vessel—with a high and holy calling, with an eternal hope and purpose, with a divine commission to make Him known, and with an inheritance that is beyond the reach of decay, reserved in heaven for you.




My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Thank you, Lord, for wanting to be in relationship with me. Thank you for loving me, providing for me, comforting me, and walking with me through life's hills and valleys. Thank you for sanctifying me, setting me apart to be yours alone. Thank you for giving me a high and holy calling, in every season of life, and for equipping me with an eternal hope and purpose and commissioning me to make you known. Thank you for the promises that there is a heavenly inheritance waiting for me, beyone the reach of earthly decay! I can't wait to be with you, in your presence, falling at your feet in worship and adoration. I love you and praise you for your love for me, and all people. I know that your desire is that none should perish, so please use me to plant and water seeds that people may come to know and love you too. In Jesus's precious name, amen.

Timely Tidbits of Truth 75

Timely Tidbits of Truth 75
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
                         
My AUTHORITY is with you!
 
My name is above all names. I am at My Father’s right hand. I reign. I rule. I am almighty. I am in control. I have conquered sin and death. No one is above Me or over Me. Angels aren’t. Kings of the earth aren’t. Governments aren’t and rulers of darkness aren’t. I have the final say over all that concerns you.

Then, when all things are under his authority, the Son will put himself under God’s authority, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere (1 Corinthians 15:28 NLT).

Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 2

Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 2
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

God is on the throne.

God has not made the earth and then abandoned it. He has not retreated somewhere in the universe and gone into hiding. He is today where He has always been, on His throne. God sees all things, knows all things, and is all-powerful. God is all in all. He is above all. Nothing is above Him. There is no king or ruler that has more authority than God; there is no political figure that has more influence than God; there is no nation that has more control than God. No one can outthink Him or outsmart Him. He is God Almighty. He has all authority in heaven and earth. His enemies are under His feet. He reigns and rules. He is the majesty on High.

Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.” “I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him (Psalm 2:1-12 NKJV).

Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever. You rule with a scepter of justice (Psalm 45:6 NLT).

God reigns above the heavens, sitting on His holy throne (Psalm 47:8 NLT).
 
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2 KJV).
