Fret-Free Friday: He Is

Fret-Free Friday: He Is
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

The Lord's presence in your life is not a small thing or a big thing—it is everything. The Lord's presence with you today is your rest!

He is...
the guardian to keep you
the shade to cover you
the shield to protect you
the warrior to defend you.

He is...
before you as your guide
behind you as your guard
beside you as your friend
around you as your shelter
above you as your watchman
underneath you as your foundation.

He is the peace that keeps you, the song that fills you, and the love that holds you through every moment of every day.

...

Should I be anxious if God has all power?
Should I worry if He knows all things?
Should I be afraid if He is always present?
Should I doubt if His promises are true?
Should I disobey if His ways are best?
Should I strive if He gives more grace?

Part 37: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest!

Part 37: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest!
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Knowing His Best...
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began. Titus 1:2

Walking in Rest!
Your rest does not come by having faith in your faith, your feelings, or your insights—faith rests in the words of the One who cannot lie. He does not need to tell you everything He is doing, but He will tell you enough to keep you steady and will reveal enough to give you hope. There will always be a promise to claim...there will always be a direction to follow...there will always be a word to obey. You will never be without a rock to stand upon...you will never be without a foundation to build upon...you will never be without a Savior to call upon.

My Morning Prayer: Holiness

My Morning Prayer: Holiness
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Promise
Call them all together—men, women, children, and the foreigners living in your towns—so they may hear this Book of Instruction and learn to fear the Lord your God and carefully obey all the terms of these instructions. Do this so that your children who have not known these instructions will hear them and will learn to fear the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 31:12-13 NLT

Prayer
Lord, to fear You is a good thing. You have said that to fear You with reverential awe is the beginning of wisdom and moves our lives away from evil. I pray that the fear of the Lord will be established deep within us and our children.

I pray that we would daily stand in the light of Your holiness with a broken and contrite heart; that we would bow before You with a meek and quiet spirit; that we would kneel at Your feet in quiet worship as we behold Your glory and Your majesty.

I pray that as we fear You we would always run toward You. I pray that we would always understand that to fear You means that we would never desire to do anything that grieves or saddens Your heart.

May we live to bring a smile to Your face. May we always care about what You think and how You feel.

As You bless us, Lord, I pray that each one in our family will daily be a blessing to You.

Fret-Free Friday: This Is the Day...

Fret-Free Friday: This Is the Day...
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalm 34:8).

God is good to you! Enjoy the blessings that come from trusting Him.

His character is flawless, His worth is priceless, His power is endless, His faithfulness is ceaseless, His grace is boundless, His ways are blameless, His name is changeless, His blessings are countless, His glory is fadeless.

This Is the Day the Lord Has Made

Your theme song for the day is "Rejoice!"

"This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24).

Today is a fresh start in His mercies. Live free from the cares of tomorrow.

"The reason I can still find hope is that I keep this one thing in mind: the LORD's mercy...His compassion is never limited. It is new every morning. His faithfulness is great"; so don't ever worry about tomorrow." (Lamentations 3:21-23 GW; Matthew 6:34 GW).

Carry hope in His promises all through the day. At night, God's faithfulness will be there to tuck you in.

"Be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day"; "it is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High...to declare your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night" (Proverbs 23:18; Psalm 92:1-2).

Part 36: Knowing His Best...Walking In Rest!

Part 36: Knowing His Best...Walking In Rest!
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Knowing His Best...
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God. 2 Corinthians 3:5

Walking in Rest!
How blessed you are to find your sufficiency in God. He is more than you have ever imagined and greater than you have ever hoped He could be. He will hear you when you call, teach you His ways, guide you with His eye, show you His covenant, give you certain victory, give you grace and glory, lift up your head, be with you in trouble, perfect that which concerns you, fulfill the desires of your heart, beautify you with salvation, not withhold any good thing from you, cause all things to work together for good.
