SCRIPTURE
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬
DEVOTIONAL
God is our Deliverer!
As children of the King, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; The Lord is our rock, our fortress and our deliverer; God is our rock, in whom we take refuge, our shield and the horn of our salvation, our stronghold. I remember a time when I was in a car accident, when someone hit me in the back and kept going. When the policeman came, and was taking my statement about fifteen minutes a young man drove up behind his car. Then he walked up to me, and said that he was the one who hit me. When I doubted , because his emotions did not bear witness with what had happened. I think he traded places with the actual driver, because there were two people in the car, but only one came back. But when he told his insurance company, he said I pulled out in front of him. His insurance company denied my claim, and said we both contributed to the accident. I prayed and said Lord, You know what happened, I need You to be my defense. God started His defense for me, and the verdict had already been rendered. They took it to arbitration; which is a court with a judge who hears the facts between two insurance companies, and he said that the other person was 100% at fault, and that the other insurance company had to pay my insurance company back for all the damages that was involved. Now this did not take overnight, it was a year before the case was even heard. But daily I would thank God for being my defense, for fighting my battle, and giving me a quick deliverance. I had believed from the day I asked that He had already gone before me, and straightened things out. He is the one who preserve and sustain us. He guide our footsteps on the best paths, and He tenderize our hearts towards the things that pleases Him. When we are in trouble we can cry out to Him and He will hear, defend and deliver us. In Him we have to trust; His timing is perfect, even when we don’t understand. He will make a way out of no way, and keep the promises that He has made to us. He will never leave nor forsake us. He will work things out in our favor. He is our all in all, and God our everything!
PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for another spectacular day that You have given us to enjoy and to praise You. We love you fervently with all that we are. When we receive a bad report; we will trust in You all the more. This is but a light thing for You to do. You are God, You are our everything! Lord You are our rock, our fortress, and the One who rescues us; our God, our rock and strength in whom we trust and take refuge; our shield, and the horn of our salvation, our high tower, and our stronghold. We will call upon You Lord, who is worthy to be praised; And we are saved from our enemies. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. Your grace is sufficient in our weakness. We put our trust in You, and we will never be put to shame. We are world over-comers, always triumphant , and forever victorious in Christ Jesus! We give You all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise; Lord, You are our rock, our fortress and our deliverer; our God is our rock, in whom we take refuge, our shield and the horn of our salvation, our stronghold. We love and trust You Lord with all that is within us. We stand and confidently trust that You and Your Word will come through for us. We thank You for these and all things in Jesus Christ’s name. The One who is our excellent example of trusting in You with all His heart, and You totally and completely with a strong hand delivered Him from all of His enemies, and He gave You all the glory! Amen! Always know that God loves you and I do too!😊

SCRIPTURE
“The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord.’ ””
‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭20‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬
DEVOTIONAL
God of the hills and valleys!
As children of the King, heirs of God, and joint heirs of Christ;
We have learned to trust You with our whole life. We know You to be God of the hills and valleys in our lives. There are no times, or areas in our lives that are off limits to You. During the times when we are up, success is high, and we are on top of the world; and the times when we are down, feeling low; when we have been mishandled, betrayed, and mistreated; You see it all, and You will not let one person go unpunished. In every area of our lives, in every circumstance, situation, trial and tribulation; You have proven time and time again to be faithful, loyal, and trustworthy. You love us unconditionally. There have been times when we felt and seen Your favor, when we knew that we were in Your perfect will, whatever our hands touched prospered; You was the One who gave us the success that we experienced. Then there have been times that we did not understand if You loved us; why did we had to go through the paths that we were given. During those difficult times, when we couldn’t feel, see, or hear You; from all the pain we were experiencing. Sometimes we even felt betrayed by You. When we felt like we were all alone, and felt that no one understood what we were going through. But now we know, that You are the Only One that do understand everything that we feel, every thought that we think, every decision that we make; and You deal with us individually and accordingly to the strength and the gifts You have placed in us. But, as we look back over our lives we see Your handprints all over it; Through the easy and all through the hard times, through the success and through the failures. You have been with us from the start. You have never given up on us, You never let us go, You have never left us alone for a second, nor did You forsake us. Even when You stood back and watched, You either strengthened us or You carried us through each and every time. There is no way we could have made it on our own without Your love, protection, strength, and support. You dusted us off and wiped our tears, and let us know that You was always near. Every time we cried out to You, You heard our cries and You answered our prayers in one way or another. There are no hills so high, and no valleys so low; that will keep You away from us. Nothing will separate us from Your love. You were right there in our lives; in the beginning, in the middle, and You will be there in the end. You are God of the hills and the valleys.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for another spectacular day that You granted us to see. Great are You Lord, and greatly to be praised. You never sleep nor do You slumber. We thank You Lord that You have an eye on all mankind, and over all the tribes of Israel. You sit high, and look low; guiding us in the direction that we need to go. We thank You for being God; when we are up and God when we are down. Thank You for choosing the paths that we should take to draw us closest to You in our relationship, that will give us more of an opportunity to be molded and shaped to be more like Jesus Christ’s character, and that will guide us to our divine destiny in You. You are Lord over everything; We thank You that we can cast all of our cares on You; for You care for us, and about everything that concerns us. We bind the hands of the Devil in our finances, health, and our healthy relationships. We loose Your power, prosperity, healing, love, joy, strength, and peace; in every area of our lives as we need it. We ask You for Your wisdom, and we thank You that You give it to us liberally, freely, and generously, and will not rebuke, find fault, or criticize us for asking. We thank You for Your joy, which is our strength, Your love, that has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit; Your peace that surpasses all understanding and that keeps our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. We thank You for healing us Lord, and we shall be healed; for saving us, and we shall be saved; for You are the One that we praise. We thank You for being the God of reconciliation; and for restoring our broken and damaged relationships. For strengthening us where we are weak, and building us up where we are torn down; and for placing our feet on the solid foundation of Your Word. For hearing our cry, and answering our prayers. For holding us close to Your heart when we need comforting. For chastising us when we need correcting. For providing for us when we need finances. For protecting us from all hurt, harm, or dangers; seen and unseen, on land, air, and sea. For fighting our battles against the powers of darkness and all the plans of the enemy. We give You all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise; For being God of the hills and the valleys. For being with us always, even to the end of the world; For being God of our victories, and for fighting our battles for us. We can do nothing without You. We stand and confidently trust that You and Your Word will come through for us. We thank You for these and all things in Jesus Christ’s name. The One who is our excellent example of trusting You to God of the hills and the valleys in His life. Knowing He could do nothing without You. Amen! Always know that God loves you and I do too!😊

Terrific Tuesday!
SCRIPTURE
“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬
DEVOTIONAL
Love covers the multitude of sins!
I thought about the fact that love covers the multitude of sins. Then I thought about how we can normally get upset over the simplest of things. Like if someone pulls out in front of us in traffic. Now, don’t let them pull out in front of us, and then proceed to go slow afterwards; That just take us to a whole different level. Whether we blow our horns at them; or we silently mumble our annoyance under our breath or just get outright angry, or do all of the above; either way, we failed the love test; and the Lord sees all of it. Because Love is patient and love is kind, and we are constantly given opportunities to grow in it. Love covers or overlooks rudeness, and misjudgments. We are to unselfishly seek the best for others. Christ love for us, covered a multitude of our sins with His Blood sacrifice; and He is still covering us every day of our lives with His continuous interceding for the sins that we commit daily. He is the excellent example for us to follow, when we are covering and loving others. We are to love each each earnestly in a sincere way. Love each other with the gifts that we have, the best way that we can. The end of all things is at hand; therefore we are to be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of our prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. We are given ample opportunities all during the day to grow in our love walk with all of the various situations and personalities that we will encounter. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another; in order that in everything God may be glorified in us through Jesus Christ. To Him belong glory and dominion forever and ever.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for another terrific day that You alone have given us to see. Lord, we thank You for Your love being shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. We thank You for each opportunity that we are given to grow and mature in love through life’s daily activities and challenges. We want to walk in Your agape love, which we know pleases You. Help us to love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. Help us to offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of us should use whatever gift we have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of Your grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, we should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, we should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. We thank You for giving us Your agape love and Your power to love others the way You love us. We thank You for helping us to make the quality decision daily to do so, because love is a choice and not a feeling. The more we trust and surrender to You, and let You love others through us; it crucifies the flesh, and increase us in the spirit. It shows in us more of Your characteristics; and it identifies us as Your Believers. It matures us in Your Word, and it brings Your name all the glory, forever and ever. We stand and confidently trust that You and Your Word will come through for us. We thank You for these and all things in Jesus Christ’s name. The One who is our excellent example of walking in Your love towards others, and growing up in the things of God, giving You all the glory at all times. Amen! Always know that God loves you and I do too!😊

Wonderful Wednesday!
SCRIPTURE
“I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭120‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬
DEVOTIONAL
Take your troubles to the Lord!
As children of the King, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; we can take our troubles to the Lord; we can cry out to Him, and He will answer us. He told us that many would be the afflictions of the righteous, but He will deliver us out of them all. He may not come when we want Him, but He is right on time. His methods of answering we leave to Him. He is too just to do wrong, and too wise to make a mistake. However He chooses to answer our prayers is from a heart of love and compassion for us. We may not understand His form of deliverance; but He is Sovereign God, and He knows what is best for us. No matter how many troubles we have, or how long they have been with us, It doesn’t matter what the troubles are; be it sickness, unemployment, death of a love one, relationship woes, anxiety, depression, oppression, suppression, suicidal tendencies, unforgiveness, even if we are angry at Him, etc. whatever we stand in need of; we can take it to the Lord in prayer and leave it there. He can handle anything we carry to Him. We can cry out to Him in our darkest hours and He will hear and answer our prayers. We can trust The Lord, Sovereign God, the Lord of Hosts, our Father with our lives and He will take loving care of us. His love is unconditional and everlasting. His heart is full of compassion for us. He is always watching out for us to show us the right way to go. He is The ultimate Comforter above all comforters. There is no pill we can take, no alcohol we can drink, no person we can sleep with to take away the pain that we experience from life and it’s adversity; The Lord is the only Healer of violations of any kind, without the adverse and lasting effects of all of the other. He will heal the hurt in our hearts. Help us to face the hardest truths. He will be with us, no matter what. He will help us to pick up the pieces when we are broken. He is the heart mender and mind regulator. He will keep us in perfect peace, when we keep our minds on Him. He is the only one who can give us peace that surpasses all understanding. He is the one who can keep us from falling; if we run to Him in our hurts, pains, and sorrows. His favor and blessings are always with us.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for another Terrific day, that You allowed us to see. We thank You that we can cast all of our cares on You, because You care for us. You will instruct us and teach us in the way that we should go and guide us with Your eye. We thank You that no matter how hard things get, You soften the blow for us. How dark things get, You bring light to it. How weak we get, Your joy give us strength. You are the only one who can heal our hearts, and fill our voids of emptiness for loss of love ones. You are the keeper of our souls. We will look to You and take You at Your Word; that You will never leave, abandon, or forsake us. You are Sovereign God, You know all things; You are our only Helper in life to bring us out of whatever we are stuck in. When our hearts are sad, and we’re feeling bad, and we don’t understand; You are the lifter of our hearts and our heads. You are the Healer of our lives and everything that concerns us. We will look to You; the Author and Finisher of our faith! We will put our hope and trust in You to heal, restore, refresh, comfort, correct, and pour our Your love, mercy, and grace upon us; to bring us out of our dark places into the light with You. We will
Let everyone see that we are considerate in all that we do. Remembering, that You are coming soon. We trust in You, and will not worry about anything; instead, we pray about everything. We will let you know what we need, and thank You for all You have done. Then we will experience Your peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. Your peace will guard your hearts and minds as we live in Christ Jesus. As we fix our thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. We think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. We pursue peace, and will not let it slip away. Peace, healing, strength, wisdom, guidance and love is a part of our inheritance; it is our portion. We thank You for knowing all things, and always doing what is best for us; whether we understand now or not; it will all be clearer after while, but for now we have chosen to trust in You, Sovereign God. We love You and obey Your Word, trusting You to take care of us as the good, good God and loving Father that You are. We stand and confidently trust that You and Your Word will come through for us. We thank You for these and all things in Jesus Christ’s name. The One who is our excellent example of looking to and trusting You in His darkest hours and seeing the results of that ultimate trust in victory forever. Amen! Always know that God loves you and I do too!😊

“I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬
DEVOTIONAL
Fix my eyes!
As children of the King, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ;
It doesn’t matter how many oppositions or distractions that come our way; We will meditate on His statues, and keep our eyes fixed on His ways. He give us freedom to obey Him. We will walk in His freedom, for we have devoted ourselves to His commandments. We will delight in His commands! We will love them! We will remember His promise to us; it is our only hope. His promise revives us; it comforts us in all our troubles. When we meditate on His regulations; they comfort us. We will reflect at night on who He is, therefore, we will obey His instructions. The Lord is our Father! We know all that He say is right. We will promise to obey His words! With all our heart we want His blessings. He will be merciful unto us as He has promised. We have pondered the direction of our life, and we have turned to follow His laws. We will hurry, without delay, to obey His commands. They are life to those who find them, and health to all our flesh. Evil people try to drag us into sin, but we are firmly anchored to His instructions. We rise at midnight to thank Him for His just regulations. The Lord has done many good things for us, just as He has promised. We believe in His commands; now teach us good judgment and knowledge. We used to wander off until He disciplined us; but now we closely follow His word. It is for our protection. The Lord is good and do only good; He teaches us His decrees so we may follow them. They keep us on the right path, and safe from all things that are harmful; because He jealously protects and watches over us.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for another terrific day that we have never seen before, nor will we ever see again. Open our eyes, that we may behold wondrous things out of Your law. Your laws are our delight; they are our counselors, and they give us wis advice. Help us to understand the meaning of Your commandments, and we will meditate on Your wonderful deeds. When we weep with sorrow; encourage us by Your word. Keep us from lying to ourselves; let us not walk in any form of deception. Give us the privilege of knowing Your instructions. We have chosen to be faithful; We have determined to live by your regulations. Let us not be ashamed, who put our trust in You. Teach us Your decrees, O Lord; We will keep them to the end. Give us understanding and we will obey Your instructions; we will put them into practice with all of our heart. Make us to walk along the path of Your commands, for that is where our happiness is found. Give us an eagerness for Your laws rather than a love for money! Turn our eyes from worthless things, and give us life through Your Word.
‭‭we honor and love Your commands. We meditate on Your decrees. We will keep on obeying Your instructions forever and ever. We will meditate on Your precepts and fix our eyes on Your ways.

We thank You for these and all things in Jesus Christ’s name. The One who is our excellent example of fixing His eyes on Your ways, delighting in Your statues, and didn’t forget Your Word. Amen!
