Creator of Heaven and Earth

I am the Creator of heaven and earth: Lord of all that is and all that will ever be. Although I am unimaginably vast, I choose to dwell within you, permeating you with My Presence. Only in the spirit realm could Someone so infinitely great live within someone so very small. Be awed by the Power and the Glory of My Spirit within you!

Though the Holy Spirit is infinite, He deigns to be your Helper. He is always ready to offer assistance; all you need to do is ask.When the path before you looks easy and straightforward, you may be tempted to go it alone instead of relying on Me. This is when you are in the greatest danger of stumbling. Ask My Spirit to help you as you go each step of the way. Never neglect this glorious Source of strength within you.
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”- JOHN 14:16–17  
“But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.”- JOHN 16:7
So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.”- ZECHARIAH 4:6

It is the easiest to stray when we have nothing going on in our lives at the current time. We know we are supposed to pray to God when we have problems, are sick or are in trouble. But those times when we are perfectly healthy and happy are when we should be praying to him most. If not, it gets to easy to walk beside God's path and into our own.

We do not have to walk alone. The Holy Spirit lives within us. Although it is hard because He is not visible to us as humans, He is the one who is with us 24/7, all we must do is ask. Ask and you shall receive. Pray today that the Holy Spirit shines within you. Ask Him to lead your life and thank Him for the problems that you do not have. Praise Him always.

When Everything Goes Wrong, Trust Me

When many things seem to be going wrong, trust Me. When your life feels increasingly out of control, thank Me. These are supernatural responses, and they can lift you above your circumstances. If you do what comes naturally in the face of difficulties, you may fall prey to negativism. Even a few complaints can set you on a path that is a downward spiral, by darkening your perspective and mind-set. With this attitude controlling you, complaints flow more and more readily from your mouth. Each one moves you steadily down the slippery spiral. The lower you go, the faster you slide; but it is still possible to apply brakes. Cry out to Me in My Name! Affirm your trust in Me, regardless of how you feel. Thank Me for everything, though this seems unnatural—even irrational. Gradually you will begin to ascend, recovering your lost ground.

When you are back on ground level, you can face your circumstances from a humble perspective. If you choose supernatural responses this time—trusting and thanking Me—you will experience My unfathomable Peace.
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.- PSALM 13:5 
Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.- EPHESIANS 5:20

Have you ever had a really good day, then someone says one negative comment about something and suddenly you, too, are on a downward spiral of negative comments? Or have you yourself had a negative comment that slips out when you open your mouth, sparking a whole new conversation about how you dislike a certain circumstance or person? We have ALL been in a position when we are talking negatively about something and it brings down our whole day. Our mood changes, our posture changes and our reflection as a child of God changes.

STOP! Ask God to change your devil-ish thoughts. Pray for His guidance and for Him to direct your mind to another place. We must learn to control what comes out of our mouths by giving it to God before it is spoken. This is not something that will just happen over night. It will be a process to get yourself to consciously think, "Will this positively affect my image of God, furthering His kingdom?" , before you speak a negative comment. Pray for His power over your thoughts. Then thank Him. Thank God for the peace He will grace your mind and mouth and the humbleness you will feel over your life.

He Who Knows All

Never take for granted My intimate nearness. Marvel at the wonder of My continual Presence with you. Even the most ardent human lover cannot be with you always. Nor can another person know the intimacies of your heart, mind, and spirit. I know everything about you—even to the number of hairs on your head. You don’t need to work at revealing yourself to Me.

Many people spend a lifetime or a small fortune searching for someone who understands them. Yet I am freely available to all who call upon My Name, who open their hearts to receive Me as Savior. This simple act of faith is the beginning of a lifelong love story. I, the Lover of your soul, understand you perfectly and love you eternally.
“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”- LUKE 12:7 
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.- JOHN 1:12 
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”- ROMANS 10:13

No one knows us like our God. Our spouses, boyfriends and even our parents do not know us for all of who we are. God our Father knows our ins and outs, He knows what is in our hearts and what we may hide from the rest of the world. This relationship starts from day 1. There is no hiding anything from God, because He knows everything. So if God knows everything, what is the point of talking to or praying to Him daily?

God wants us to seek His word. Even though He knows what is going to happen to us and He has a plan for our lives, we must still call upon Him to live through our earthy bodies, so that we may shine light towards His kingdom.

Having a love relationships with God is not a one way street. We must open our hearts to Him and listen to what He has to say to us. He will guide us down the right path and not let the Devil get in the way. When we trust in our relationship with God and open our hearts, our Savior will protect us always.

Search for your love relationship with God today. He already knows that you are in need of his presence.

Worship Me Only.

Worship Me only. I am King of kings and Lord of lords, dwelling in unapproachable Light. I am taking care of you! I am not only committed to caring for you, but I am also absolutely capable of doing so. Rest in Me, My weary one, for this is a form of worship.

Though self-flagellation has gone out of style, many of My children drive themselves like racehorses. They whip themselves into action, ignoring how exhausted they are. They forget that I am sovereign and that My ways are higher than theirs. Underneath their driven service, they may secretly resent Me as a harsh taskmaster. Their worship of Me is lukewarm, because I am no longer their First Love.

My invitation never changes: Come to Me, all you who are weary, and I will give you rest. Worship Me by resting peacefully in My Presence.
Which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.- 1 TIMOTHY 6:15–16 
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”- ISAIAH 55:8–9 
“Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.”- REVELATION 2:4 
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”- MATTHEW 11:28
_________________________________________________________________

The theme of today's world is "go, go, go". People always have to be doing something in order to be satisfied with themselves. This can become the only thing we care about and our main priority. Do not let this happen to you. Instead, slow down and rest in peace with God. We can bring our hurt, bring our hearts and the hope that we carry to Him any time of the day and He will wash our souls. God does not want our highest thoughts and desires to be of the world. Instead we should think what God thinks, we should want what God wants with the desire to further His kingdom here on earth. Our goal in life is not to stay busy or to constantly be checking things off of our to do list, but instead to worship our Father who gave us the opportunity to be here on earth and help others find the same path in life.

If have time today, look up a song on YouTube. It is called "Come Unto Me" by Nichole Mullen and it describes today's word by while adding a little music. Very inspirational!
