Continually and Continuously

Continually and Continuously 
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
We can daily be thankful that we do not have a part-time God to put our trust in. How frustrating it would be if He was not available at the exact time we needed to call upon Him.
 
In our town there is a wonderful gift shop. There is also a restaurant with delicious food. The problem is that each business is only opened part time.

I have found these stores are often closed on the days I would like to go there to shop or eat.

You can be fully assured…
 
Jesus is a full-time Savior.
The Holy Spirit is a full-time Helper.
God is a full-time Father.

That is why David could say of the Lord in Psalm 71:3, “Be my strong refuge, to which I may resort continually.”
 
The reason we can continually find God’s strength and shelter is because God is continuously there, an “ever-present help in trouble.”
 
God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1 NLT).

My Morning Prayer: Heartfelt Responses Concerning God’s Will

My Morning Prayer: Heartfelt Responses Concerning God’s Will
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 
If God isn’t leading you to a certain place, why go there?
Lord, I am following You. I will not run around in circles trying to find my own way. I place my feet in Your footsteps.
 
If God hasn’t asked you to do a certain task, why perform it?
Lord, I will only carry what You ask me to lift. I lay down my agenda and my ideas.
 
If God hasn’t directed you to speak a certain word, why declare it?
Lord, put Your words in my mouth. I want to speak words that are fitting for the moment—the right word, the true word, the word from Your heart to others.

May the name of our Lord Jesus Christ be glorified and become more glorious through and in you (2 Thessalonians 1:12 AMPC).

Timely Tidbits of Truth 26

Timely Tidbits of Truth 26
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Jesus came at the perfect moment in history, for with God, timing is much more important than time. In your life He makes no mistakes, and what He has promised you will be done in His perfect time.
 
But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law (Galatians 4:4).
 
My times are in Thy hand (Psalm 31:15).

The Word of God

The Word of God
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

The Word of God
The living Word.
Truth. Light.
Holy. Pure.
Bread. Seed.
Comfort. Hope.
Strength. Guidance.
Quick. Powerful. Sharp.
The sword of the Spirit.
 
No weapon can dull its blade.
No enemy can bring it down.
No ruler can cancel its authority.
No argument can undermine its truth.
No critic can lessen its authenticity.
No denier can weaken its foundation.
No mocker can remove its penetrating insight.
No philosophy can replace its transforming light.
 
The rebellious fight it,
The stubborn refuse it,
The disobedient deny it,
The indifferent ignore it,
The lazy neglect it,
The foolish despise it,
The traitor renounces it,
The deceiver wrongly represents it.
 
The hungry eat it,
The obedient follow it,
The weary rest in it,
The humble surrender to it,
The devout embrace it,
The downcasts are uplifted by it,
The sick are revived by it,
The wise build their lives upon it.
 
How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! I have restrained my feet from every evil way,That I may keep Your word. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
(Psalm 119:103, Psalm 119:101, Psalm 119:105 AMP)

Important Questions Concerning God’s Will
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

If God isn’t leading you to a certain place, why go there?
If God hasn’t asked you to do a certain task, why perform it?
If God hasn’t directed you to speak a certain word, why de
clare it?
If God wouldn’t be pleased with a certain choice, why choose it?
 

Who are those who fear the Lord? He will show them the path they should choose (Psalm 25:12 NLT).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Good morning, Lord. Thank You for leading and guiding me in every step of my life. Help me to be discerning and patient as You lay out the next chapters. I want to make good decisions that are pleasing to You and edifying to the body of Christ. I don't want to take on things that You have not equipped me to do, or go places You don't want me to go. I only want to speak Your truth to a lost and hurting world. Help me to know Your perfect and peaceable will for my life, to bring You glory and grow Your kingdom. I pray that as You grow me, You will use me. May Your will be done. In Jesus' name, amen.
