In 2022

In 2022
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

In 2022, you can be absolutely, positively, 100% certain that God will never, ever get it wrong!

He won’t get it wrong in His justice and judgment; 

He won’t get it wrong in His mercy and grace; He won’t get it wrong in His plan and purpose. He never has. He never will. If He did, how could you fully trust Him? 

Here are 7 assurances He has made to you as His child:

1. I know you and will not forget you (I always will).
2. I am faithful to you (I always am).
3. I am with you (I always will be).
4. I will guide you (I see the way ahead).
5. I care about you (give your burdens to Me).
6. I am your provider (I will supply your need).
7. I love you (everlastingly)!

Correlating Scriptures:

1. Isaiah 49:15,16
2. 1 Corinthians 1:9
3. Hebrews 13:5
4. Psalm 32:8
5. 1 Peter 5:7
6. Philippians 4:19
7. Jeremiah 31:3

Part 31: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest

Part 31: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Knowing His Best...
I cannot think of anyone more unworthy to this cause than I, the least of the least of the saints. But here I am, a grace-made man, privileged to be an echo of His voice and a preacher to all the nations of the riches of the Anointed One, riches that no one ever imagined.  Ephesians 3:8 (VOICE)

Walking in Rest!
Rest in the riches of all you have in Christ. Because you are in Him, you have received grace and gifts (Ephesians 4:7, 8), a hope laid up in heaven (Colossians 1:5), been made a partaker of the inheritance of the saints (Colossians 1:27), been delivered from the power of darkness (Colossians 1:13), been delivered from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 1:10), received an everlasting consolation and good hope (2 Thessalonians 2:16), been given the Spirit of power, love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7), His word effectively working in you (1 Thessalonians 2:13), a crown of righteousness laid up for you (2 Timothy 4:8), been given great and precious promises (2 Peter 1:4), been given fellowship with the Father and His Son Jesus Christ (1 John 1:3).

My Morning Prayer: A Prayer of Freedom

My Morning Prayer: A Prayer of Freedom
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Promise
The Lord who made you and helps you says: Do not be afraid, O Jacob, My servant, O dear Israel, My chosen one. For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your children. They will thrive like watered grass, like willows on a riverbank.
Isaiah 44:2-4 NLT

 

Prayer
My Father, what a wonderful God You are. My children (and I) are handmade by You. You are our designer. You are our helper and keeper. I ask that we will never doubt, question, or wonder who we are, where we came from, or where we are going.

 

May we live free of fear—safe from its bondage, kept from its paralyzing grip, protected from everything that would terrify and hinder us from experiencing all that You have for us. May our hearts be full of expectancy and assurance, knowing that You have set us free.

 

Pour out upon each of us Your abundant mercies, Your abundant grace, Your abundant goodness, Your abundant blessings, Your abundant love. May we always drink from Your fountain of joy; wash in the river of Your mercies; be touched by Your refreshing rains. Quench our thirsty souls, water the garden of our hearts, keep our spirits in Your healing streams. Cause us to thrive, flourish, and prosper in life and in our relationship with You.

We Have Seen His Glory, Part 12: Praise Him

We Have Seen His Glory, Part 12: Praise Him
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess His name. Hebrews 13:15 NIV

 

Jesus Christ, God incarnate, the Word made flesh, the babe in the manger—
Adore Him.

 

The pearl of greatest price, the heart’s greatest treasure, life’s greatest joy—
Seek Him.

 

The Redeemer, the Savior, the Sacrificial Lamb—
Thank Him.

 

The Conqueror, the Resurrection and the Life, the coming King—
Praise Him.

 

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory…” John 1:14 NIV

...

This concludes our series, We Have Seen His Glory. We pray that you've been blessed as we have put our focus on God and the glory of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. May you have a blessed Christmas celebration, and a Happy New Year!

Grace and peace,
Marina, for Roy and Meeting in the Meadow

We Have Seen His Glory, Part 11: Praise Him
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 

If anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Philippians 4:8 NIV

 

To think upon Jesus opens the door to a vast chamber of thoughts that are praiseworthy. There is not a single thought about Jesus that will bring you regret or embarrassment, and there is not a single remembrance of what He has done for you that will bring you shame. There is nothing in His character that brings disappointment, and there is nothing in His nature that brings hurt. Think about His ministry and you find a servant; think about His wonders and you see the mighty hand of God; think about His blessings and you discover His compassion; think about His tenderness and you see His Shepherd’s heart.

Think about Jesus’ names and your thoughts will lead your heart into ceaseless praise.

He is called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, and The Prince of Peace. He is our Banner, Rock, Foundation, High Priest, Redeemer, Deliverer, Healer, Savior, King, Lord, and Master. He is the Bread of Life, The Way, The Truth, The Word, The Dayspring, and The Bright and Morning Star. He is the Seed of David, The Lion of Judah, Messiah, The Alpha and Omega, The Lord of all.
