Satisfied In Christ

Not that I speak from [any personal] need, for I have learned to be content [and self-sufficient through Christ, satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or uneasy] regardless of my circumstances. Phil. 4:11 (Amp.) Our contentment is found in Christ, not our circumstances. He is our firm foundation on shaky grounds. He is our peace in the midst of turmoil. He is our comfort during our painful season. He is our hope in uncertain times. He is our defender when the attacks are mounting. He is a safe haven when adversity arises. He is now and forevermore the lover of our soul. No matter where we find ourselves, trust and believe He is in control. Find your complete and total satisfaction in Him and Him alone. Press Forward!

Give Thanks

I will give thanks to You, for You have heard and answered me; And You have become my salvation [my Rescuer, my Savior]. Psalm 118:21 (Amp.) Choose to give God thanks. Thank Him for hearing all your cares and answering your prayers. Celebrate Him for rescuing you from every storm and delivering you from every situation. Praise Him for keeping you all the days of your life. Thank Him for loving you so much to embrace you just as you are, while molding you into all He desires you to be. You are walking in the manifestation of God’s sustaining power and purpose for your life. Continue to embrace the wonders of God and exalt Him just for who He is. Rest in assurance that He is not done yet. Praise Him throughout the entire journey and keep the faith that God loves your worship unto Him. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Attitude of Gratitude

Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His mercy and lovingkindness endure forever! Psalm 106:1 (Amp.) It is good to give thanks to the Lord for He is good. Praise Him not just for what He’s done, but for who He is. Praise Him for His grace and mercy that is new every morning. He is the great God who pursued you with His everlasting love. He’s the wonderful Father who wooed you with His tender loving care. He is our creator and our keeper. He is our provider and protector. There is so much to thank Him for. Our source of all that we will ever need or desire is found in Him. Today, make the choice to walk in an attitude of gratitude. For He is truly worthy to be praised. Let’s go and grow together.

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. Phil. 4:6 (Amp.) The antidote for worry is to take a trip down memory lane and bless God for all He has done. Even in your difficult season there is always something to give God praise for. Be content where you are on the way to where God is taking you. Be grateful for what you have with the understanding that God is not done yet. If on the mountain top or in the valley, give God praise for being ever-present. Bless His name, in the midst of every storm and watch Him calm the raging sea. Give Him glory when the tides arise and watch Him lift you above every circumstance. God hears your praise and your prayers. God honors a grateful heart. God is with you through it all. Command your heart and your mind to rest in Him and receive His shalom. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Therefore, peace is your inheritance. Don’t forfeit your blessing by worrying. Bless God while you wait and anticipate, expect and stand on the promises of God. Press Forward. ADaubon

Cast your burden on the Lord [release it] and He will sustain and uphold you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken (slip, fall, fail). Psalm 55:22 (Amp.) Whatever burdens you are carrying today are not yours to bear alone. Let God be your burden bearer. He will lift your pain and raise you higher. He restores heads that are bowed down and renews your strength. Engage in the great exchange. Give Him your worries and receive His rest. Give Him your pain and receive His healing. Give Him your broken heart and receive a mended heart, bound together by His love. Give Him your sorrow and be infused with His hope. Give Him your discouraged dreams and receive renewed purpose and power to press forward. Simply release it all to God and trust Him to keep you – no matter the storms. Let’s go and grow together.

Let everything you do be done in love [motivated and inspired by God’s love for us]. I Cor. 16:14 (Amp.) God search our motives for all that we do. Help us to serve with the right intention; as we surrender to be vessels for your love to flow through. Let all that we do be established and rooted in love. Give us wisdom and strength from above. Help us to never stray. Speak to us clearly and show us the way. You are the source of our inspiration. Help us to always keep in step with your direction. Thank you for motivating us to walk in our purpose, as we surrender to you today. In Jesus name we pray, amen Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. Phil. 4:7 (Amp.) There is sweet peace found in our Savior. His presence brings peace to every storm and calms the raging seas. He comforts the anxious heart and soothes the uncertain mind. He eradicates doubt and confusion and gives clarity of mind. If you’re longing for serenity and searching for shalom, it is found in Him and Him alone. Spend quality time in His presence and be encouraged. Worship before God and watch your burdens be lifted. He will be a protective shield over your heart, emotions, mind and thoughts. Surrender it all to Him and He will cover and strengthen you. Press forward! ADaubon

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Num. 6:24-26 (NIV) Turn your face towards us God and grant us your peace. Let your face shine upon us as we experience sweet release. We rest in your presence; for its the safest place to be. Just one touch from you sets us free. Thank you for your blessings and your amazing grace. We humble ourselves before you as we continue to seek your face. In Jesus name, amen.
