I Asked, Part 1

I Asked, Part 1
-Roy Lessin
 
I asked God if I could live the best life possible.
He said, “You already do if you’re living for Me.”
 
I asked God if He could make me wealthy.
He said, “The riches you have in My Son make you the wealthiest person on earth.”
 
I asked God if my life could be significant.
He said, “Your highest place is at the feet of others.”
 
In the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:7 NKJV).

My Morning Prayer: Jesus, the Champion

My Morning Prayer: Jesus, the Champion
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley
 

Jesus, the Champion
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end (Isaiah 9:6–7 NLT).
 
Jesus is the Champion of all champions…no one comes close! All His titles are eternal; He has always held them, and no one in heaven or on earth has ever taken them away…no one ever will. His throne, His greatness, His glory, His dominion, His authority, and His kingdom are settled forever. Leave all with Him, place all before Him, trust all to Him.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Lord God, thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus. Thank You for this season that we can remember, and celebrate His arrival on earth. Thank You for the foretelling of His coming, His life on earth, and His soon return. Thank You that we can wait expectantly for Him to fulfill the rest of the promises that Your Word tells us will come to pass. May We continue to walk in the knowledge and truth of His life and remember that His throne, greatness, glory, dominion, authority and kingdom are already settled forever. That You are not surprised, caught off guard, or in despair, for You know all things, and are aware of everything going on in my life, and in this world. Be at work in them, and may Your kingdom come, Your will be done. May our hearts be in tune with Yours as we celebrate this season of Jesus's birth. It's in His name we pray, amen.

Timely Tidbits of Truth 44

Timely Tidbits of Truth 44

-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

He who is All-in-All,
Gave His all,
So that you could receive 
All that He has to give.
 
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32 NKJV)

Something Better

Something Better
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

There is something better than praying—Praying in faith. James 1:6

There is something better than confessing sin—Confessing and forsaking sin. Proverbs 28:13

There is something better than giving your word and keeping it—Giving your word and keeping it, even if it’s to your own hurt. Psalm 15:4

There is something better than reading the Bible—Reading the Bible and obeying it. Psalm 119:9

There is something better than feeding the poor—Feeding the poor and loving them. 1 Corinthians 13:3

There is something better than serving the Lord—Serving the Lord with gladness. Psalm 100:2

There is something better than praising the Lord when times are good—Praising the Lord at all times. Psalm 34:1

My Morning Prayer: Words to Share His Heart

My Morning Prayer: Words to Share His Heart
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

Words to Share His Heart
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

My tongue is the pen of a ready writer (Psalm 45:1 NKJV).
 
Hear what the Spirit is saying.
Write holy words.
Overflow with goodly themes.
Declare freeing truth.
Speak in gracious tones.
Dip your pen in the ink of light.
 
Write as expectantly as the dawning of a new day, as boldly as the brightness at high noon, and as tenderly as the hues painted across the sky at sunset.

Write with the light that causes kingdom seeds to grow.

Write with the consolation that will dry the tears of the brokenhearted.

Write with words that shed light upon a darkened pathway, hope upon an anxious soul, and understanding upon those who seek to know the way.

Write words that dance like starlight, beam like moonlight, and glow like candlelight, even on the darkest night.
 
Be a ready writer.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Thank You, Lord, for this day. Thank You for Your love and provisions for me. Thank You that You don't leave me alone...You are always calling to me, beckoning me to sit and commune with You. Thank You for the testimony of Your Word at work in my life—in me, through me, and all around me. Give me wisdom Lord, to know when to share the words that tell of the work You have done and continue to do in me. It is never about what I have done...how far I have come, but what You have done, and continue to do in my life. May You be glorified in my life, my HIStory, and every tomorrow that You walk with me through. I want to bring Your Light and Hope to a hurting world, that they may be glorified in and through You too. In Jesus's name, amen.
