SUMMARY:Romans 12:1
DESCRIPTION:Romans 12:1 Live consistent with who you really are\, inspired by the loving kindness of God. My brothers\, the most practical expression of worship is to make your bodies available to him as a living sacrifice; this pleases him more than any religious routine. He desires to find visible\, individual expression in your person. (TMB) \nAre you giving reasonable worship? \nWhat is worship? What exactly did God create you to do?  \nRomans 12:2 Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead\, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you\, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you\, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity\, God brings the best out of you\, develops well-formed maturity in you. (MSG) \nWorship is honor\, reverence and esteem\, in thought\, feeling\, and/or action. You are a triune being\, meaning you comprise mind\, body\, and spirit. Therefore\, you worship God: \n\nWith your mind\, all the thoughts and feelings you have should glorify Him.\n\nPhilippians 4:8-9 Finally\, brothers and sisters\, fill your minds with beauty and truth. Meditate on whatever is honorable\, whatever is right\, whatever is pure\, whatever is lovely\, whatever is good\, whatever is virtuous and praiseworthy. 9 Keep to the script: whatever you learned and received and heard and saw in me—do it—and the God of peace will walk with you. (TVT) \n\nWith your body\, physically you should honor Him. \n\nRomans 6:13 So then\, refuse to answer its call to surrender your body as a tool for wickedness. Instead\, passionately answer God’s call to keep yielding your body to him as one who has now experienced resurrection life! You live now for his pleasure\, ready to be used for his noble purpose. (TPT) \n\nWith your spirit\, originating from within; sincere and motivated by your love for Him. \n\nJohn 4:24 “God is Spirit\, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (NKJV) \nThat covers all of you. Worship is the presentation of all of you to the God who conceived you\, formed you and gave you life. This is why God created you. This is what God wants from you. The phrase “reasonable service” means “ that which conforms to the lógos .” It is more correctly defined as “spiritual service.”  \n1 Peter 2:4-5  So keep coming to him who is the Living Stone—though he was rejected and discarded by men but chosen by God and is priceless in God’s sight. 5 Come and be his “living stones” who are continually being assembled into a sanctuary for God. For now you serve as holy priests\, offering up spiritual sacrifices that he readily accepts through Jesus Christ. (TPT) \nYour worship leads you to offer yourself completely to do what God requires\, not only what makes sense to you. If you are unsure of God’s requirements\, you can find them in His word. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I spent a lot of years doing what I thought was my reasonable service and I repent. I hadn’t devoted enough time in Your presence to understand You wanted my spiritual service. I believe the service I gave was a blessing to You. However\, I did a great deal of what I did because of tradition. It was how my father raised me and what he taught me to do. I never really stopped to wonder if I was doing what You required or even what You destined me to do. Thank You for revelation. Now\, I understand not only do You want me to serve out of obedience to the authority in my life; You also want my mind\, my will\, my body\, and my love. You want me to think about You and have You at the center of my life\, at all times. You want my heart to be full of You\, and my actions to demonstrate who You are in my life. Your word says\, “For as he thinketh in his heart\, so is he”. I did a lot of things because I was mimicking my spiritual leaders and peers because they loved You. I thought it meant because I did them\, I was showing You I loved You too. Now I think about the things I do because I want to make sure I am being a blessing to You. Will You be pleased? Is this what You want from me? Some of the things I do have changed and some have not. I’m grateful to know the difference… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Corinthians 14:25
DESCRIPTION:1 Corinthians 14:25 By witnessing the gift of the word of knowledge\, where something that could not be known in any other way comes to light\, the visitor will be struck with awe and acknowledge God in you and will yield himself to God in worship. (TMB) \nAre you allowing God to use you to show His power? \nAs a believer\, there is an expectation for God to manifest himself in the midst of His people. Just as He did in the days of old\, you want Him to do now. \n2 Chronicles 5:13b-14 And when they praised the Lord\, saying\, “For He is good\, for His mercy and lovingkindness endure forever\,” then the house of the Lord was filled with a cloud\, 14 so that the priests could not remain standing to minister because of the cloud; for the glory and brilliance of the Lord filled the house of God. (AMP) \nBeing unable to stand is one way you could respond to the presence of God. However\, there are other ways. One of which is prophecy.  \n2 Peter 1:21 No true prophecy comes from human initiative but is inspired by the moving of the Holy Spirit upon those who spoke the message that came from God. (TPT) \nI have you been in a service when the preacher or prophet called someone up and spoke to them about things only God could have told them. I watched and listened as the word affected and most probably changed the person’s life. Though I believe and trust God\, it was and is still an extraordinary experience. If you have had that experience\, I am sure you would agree with me. If you have not\, it is an experience you will not soon forget. What do you think would happen if someone who does not know God saw that happen? There is a story in John 4 about a woman at a well who had this very experience.  \nJohn 4:39 Meanwhile\, because one woman shared with her neighbors how Jesus exposed her past and present\, the village of Sychar was transformed—many Samaritans heard and believed. (TVT) \nWhen there are unbelievers in the midst\, the ability for the man or the woman of God to share something\, only God could have told them\, validates the truth of God.  \n1 Corinthians 14:3 But when someone prophesies\, he speaks to encourage people\, to build them up\, and to bring them comfort. (TPT) \nWorship is the natural response to the presence and the power of God. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I have been in worship services where Your presence was almost tangible; it rested like a thick blanket. I’ve seen men and women of God submit themselves to be used by You. You worked miracles in the lives of those who were there. I’ve also witnessed unbelievers come to know You are real because of what they saw. I repent for those times when I acted like a spectator and not a participator. Though the word was not being given to me\, the waters were stirred. I could have stepped in and received from You as well. Every time I see a miracle\, an extraordinary manifestation of Your power\, it reaffirms the awesome God I serve\, and it brings me into a place of worship. I don’t worship You because of the things You do. I worship You because You have the power to do them. I worship You because of Who You are… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 9:1
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 9:1 Even that first covenant had rules and regulations about how to worship and how to set up an earthly sanctuary for God. (TVT) \nWhere do you worship? \nThe Old Covenant provided the commands for worship\, where they would worship\, what procedures they should follow\, and how they should follow them. However\, the policies and procedures they had did not give them personal or continual access. Only the high priest could approach God’s throne\, and then only once a year.  \nHebrews 9:7 And the high priest was permitted to enter into the Holiest Sanctuary of All only once a year and he could never enter without first offering sacrificial blood for both his own sins and for the sins of the people. (TPT) \nThe sacrificial rituals could not connect them to the Father in an authentic way. The people didn’t get it\, and they remained in slavery to sin. There was a need for a new way\, a new covenant. Jesus Christ was and is the message and the sacrifice of the New Covenant. \nHebrews 9:12\,15 With his own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever. 15 That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people\, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant. (AMP) \nThe Holy Spirit transforms the heart\, and eternal life is the promised inheritance. Worship is no longer confined to an earthly sanctuary.  \nJohn 4:21 Jesus saith unto her\, Woman\, believe me\, the hour cometh\, when ye shall neither in this mountain\, nor yet at Jerusalem\, worship the Father. (KJV) \nThe sanctuary where Jesus serves as the high priest\, and ever lives to make intercession for you\, is in heaven.  \nHebrews 9:24 For Christ (the Messiah) has not entered into a sanctuary made with [human] hands\, only a copy and pattern and type of the true one\, but [He has entered] into heaven itself\, now to appear in the [very] presence of God on our behalf. (AMPC) \nYou access the holy sanctuary through the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead\, which is also in you.  \nRomans 8:9 But you do not live in the flesh. You live in the Spirit\, assuming\, of course\, that the Spirit of God lives inside of you. The truth is that anyone who does not have the Spirit of the Anointed living within does not belong to God. (TVT) \nNow\, you take worship wherever you go. You do not confine worship to a particular place or a certain type of service. God seated you in the heavenly place with Christ. \nEphesians 2:6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One\, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm\, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ! (TPT) \nBecause of these truths\, don’t allow worship to only be what you do or where you do it. Desire worship to be who you are. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, there is a song that comes to my mind as I pray. Lord\, keep me day by day\, in a pure and perfect way. I want to live; I want to live on. In a building not made by hand. I have sung that song. At the time\, I did not really meditate on the meaning of the lyrics. It never occurred to me to meditate on them\, and I repent. As You were writing this devotional day through me\, You brought them back to my remembrance. I will make this the continual expression of my heart. I need You to keep me pure day by day because I can’t keep myself. Every time I falter\, I need You to purify me by Your power. I want to worship in a building not made by hands. I want to worship in Your holy sanctuary. As I am seated with Christ\, yet still here on earth\, I want to worship. Ultimately\, I want to bow before You in reverence and adoration throughout eternity. I don’t want worship to only be what I do. I want worship to be who I am. That is my goal and nothing else will do …Ask  \nlord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Corinthians 2:15
DESCRIPTION:2 Corinthians 2:15 In a turbulent world where people are either dying or being rescued\, we are the sweet smell of the Anointed to God our Father. (TVT) \nWhat scent does your worship have? \nThere are terms like knockoff\, faux\, generic\, etc. These are words that are used to describe a product or emotions that look like the real thing and might be mistaken for the real thing. However\, the product or emotion is not authentic. The product usually has some defects and/or deficiencies. A person contrives the emotion to trick/mislead. What are some ways this happens? The manufacture makes a purse using cheaper materials. The smile is hiding rage. The fan belt broke because it was not durable. You pretend to be surprised\, when really you knew all along. The jacket does not have the feel of the real thing. You can turn the tears on and off on cue. You can also apply these examples to worship. \nMatthew 15:7-9 “Frauds and hypocrites! Isaiah described you perfectly when he said: 8 These people honor me only with their words\, for their hearts are so very distant from me. 9 They pretend to worship me\, but their worship is nothing more than the empty traditions of men.” (TPT) \nIs worship “what you do”\, lifting your hands at the right time? Being directed on when you should stand\, when you should run\, when you should cry. Is there deliverance and breakthrough in your worship? Or is worship just an activity you participate in for the emotional benefit? \n2 Timothy 3:5a For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion)\, they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. (AMPC) \nHave you come to the place in your relationship with Christ where worship is “who you are”?  \nPsalm 103:1 With my whole heart\, with my whole life\, and with my innermost being\, I bow in wonder and love before you\, the holy God! (TPT) \nIf you worship is who you are: \n\nYour worship glorifies God and lifts Him high. \n\nRevelation 5:13 And I heard every created thing that is in heaven or on earth or under the earth [in Hades\, the realm of the dead] or on the sea\, and everything that is in them\, saying [together]\, “To Him who sits on the throne\, and to the Lamb (Christ)\, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” (AMP) \n\nYour worship delights God. \n\nPsalm 147:11 No\, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him\, those who put their hope in his unfailing love. (NLT) \n\nYour worship ushers you and those around you into the presence of God. \n\nHebrews 10:19-22 Therefore\, brothers and sisters\, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus\, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain\, that is\, his body\, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God\, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings\, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. (NIV) \n\nYour worship transforms you. \n\n2 Corinthians 3:18 And we all\, with unveiled face\, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord\, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory\, which comes from the Lord\, [who is] the Spirit. (AMP) \n\nYour worship accomplishes spiritual warfare; and \n\n2 Chronicles 20:21-22 When he had consulted with the people\, he appointed those who sang to the Lord and those who praised Him in their holy (priestly) attire\, as they went out before the army and said\, “Praise and give thanks to the Lord\, for His mercy and lovingkindness endure forever.” 22 When they began singing and praising\, the Lord set ambushes against the sons of Ammon\, Moab\, and Mount Seir\, who had come against Judah; so they were struck down [in defeat]. (AMP) \n\nYour worship demonstrates the truth and realness of God to an unbelieving world. \n\nMatthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy\, noble\, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. (AMPC) \nImitation worship may fool everyone else\, only pure worship goes up as a sweet-smelling savor to the Lord. \nPsalm 96:9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; tremble before and reverently fear Him\, all the earth. (AMPC) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather God\, I love You. I repent for any time my life and how I have lived it did not come up as a sweet-smelling savor to You. Continue to work on me until I don’t have to say I am a worshiper; it will show. I never want worship to just be something I do. I will stay in Your presence until worship is a description of who I am. I don’t want a knockoff\, generic or faux relationship with You. I want my relationship with You to be true and pure. If it is\, then my worship will be as well. I want the worship I give to You\, to transform my conversation\, my life\, my thoughts\, my attitude\, and my actions. I want the worship I give to You to bring people into Your presence. I want the worship I give to You\, to inspire people to want to know You. I want the worship I give to You\, to be real\, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to You… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Colossians 2:23
DESCRIPTION:Colossians 2:23 Religious tradition appears to be very devout and its followers seem to be so humble and holy in their strict observance of rules that seek to control the behavior of the body. The only problem with this is that the flesh is never permanently satisfied. (TMB)  \nIs tradition more important to you? \nThere are traditions that lay an amazing foundation for beginning your relationship with The Father. However\, your genuine relationship with God is spiritual\, not one driven by rules and regulations.  \nJohn 4:23-24 “But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart\, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers. 24 God is spirit [the Source of life\, yet invisible to mankind]\, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (AMP) \nYou can wear a dress that touches your knees or wear pants instead; you can dress up in a suit and tie or wear shorts and flip-flops; you can wear makeup or not; you can go to the movies or not; you can stay in church from dusk to dawn or only spend an hour and a half\, etc. The traditions you adhere to are not wrong\, however\, they cannot sanctify you.  \nHebrews 10:1-4  We have seen how the law is simply a shadow of the good things to come. Since it is not the perfect form of these ultimate realities\, the offering year after year of these imperfect sacrifices cannot bring perfection to those who come forward to worship. 2 If they had served this purpose\, wouldn’t the repetition of these sacrifices have become unnecessary? If they had worked—and cleansed the worshipers—then one sacrifice would have taken away their consciousness of sin. 3 But these sacrifices actually remind us that we sin again and again\, year after year. 4 In the end\, the blood of bulls and of goats is powerless to take away sins. (TVT) \nIf you do research\, you will find the Pharisees added an additional 248 commandments and 365 prohibitions to the ten commandments. Yet\, the additional rules did not work any better than the ten the Lord gave. Rules\, laws\, and prohibitions could not regulate the behavior not of the Israelites\, and not of any human being. Which is why Jesus had to become our sacrifice.  \nGalatians 2:16 We know very well that we are not set right with God by rule-keeping but only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. How do we know? We tried it—and we had the best system of rules the world has ever seen! Convinced that no human being can please God by self-improvement\, we believed in Jesus as the Messiah so that we might be set right before God by trusting in the Messiah\, not by trying to be good. (MSG) \nThere will always be a need for one more rule if we use the Pharisees’ method. Why\, because there will always be a loophole\, an oversight\, etc. in the previous rule. Don’t get so caught up in making sure you adhere to the traditions that you lose sight of the God you serve. Spend time cultivating a relationship with God; it will guide your behavior. You can uphold a tradition and request that others do the same. However\, make sure you understand what the tradition is\, the reasons you defend it\, and how it glorifies God.  \nPhilippians 3:3 For we have already experienced “heart-circumcision\,” and we worship God in the power and freedom of the Holy Spirit\, not in laws and religious duties. We are those who boast in what Jesus Christ has done\, and not in what we can accomplish in our own strength. (TPT) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, as I think back over my childhood\, there were more rules and regulations than I could count or break. Rules dictated what I could wear to church and what I couldn’t. Where I could sit in church and where I couldn’t. What I could say in church and what I couldn’t. Now I understand it was never a matter of whether or not those traditions were necessary; You wanted my heart. I repent for every time I conformed to a tradition because I was obligated or forced to. Thank You for teaching me You wanted me to reverence You. You wanted me to choose You because I understood and appreciated the fact that You deserved my choice. Sometimes it was difficult to tell the difference and I am sorry. I should have asked You. In all the regulations and rules\, seeking You was not one of them. Yet\, You did not leave me ignorant. You called to me. You taught me if I continue to spend time with You\, I can hold on to some traditions because I choose to if I feel they bring me any closer to You. They are a part of my heritage. You also taught me their purpose\, which gave me the liberty and helped me decide to keep them or not. My choice is to do what brings me closer to You… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:John 4:24
DESCRIPTION:John 4:24 God is spirit\, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. (KJV) \nAre you being true in your worship? \nThe Bible says\, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord (Psalm 150:6).” However\, there are prerequisites to worship.  \nFirst\, you must acknowledge Jesus as the way to the Lord. \nJohn 14:6 Jesus said to him\, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” (AMP) \nSecond\, salvation is how you acknowledge Jesus\, and through salvation you claim Him as LORD.  \nRomans 10:9 because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power\, authority\, and majesty as God]\, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead\, you will be saved. (AMP) \nOnce saved\, you can worship because salvation identifies who God is. When you know who God is\, worship is the natural response. You worship knowing God is a Spirit\, not flesh and blood. You have to worship Him in the Spirit as the scripture for today states (you can also see November 9th). There is no more sacrificing of calves and doves.  \nHebrews 10:4-5 Because the blood of bulls and goats is powerless to take sins away. 5 Hence\, when He [Christ] entered into the world\, He said\, Sacrifices and offerings You have not desired\, but instead You have made ready a body for Me [to offer]; (AMPC) \nIt is not enough for you to just show up for church on Sunday or Wednesday or to do the work you do in and for the church.  \nMatthew 7:22-23 Many will say to Me in that day\, ‘Lord\, Lord\, have we not prophesied in Your name\, cast out demons in Your name\, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them\, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me\, you who practice lawlessness!’ (NKJV) \nThough you may sacrifice to show up and/or to work\, the real sacrifice has to be you\, the real and true you\, with all your flaws\, issues and concerns.  \nPsalm 40:6a Doing something for you\, bringing something to you—that’s not what you’re after. Being religious\, acting pious — that’s not what you’re asking for. (MSG) \nPsalm 40:6 Sacrifice and offering You do not desire\, nor have You delight in them; You have given me the capacity to hear and obey [Your law\, a more valuable service than] burnt offerings and sin offerings [which] You do not require. (AMPC) \nYour acceptance of God’s invitation to be saved means you believe He is God. Your humble submission to God’s authority means you acknowledge Him as Lord and is the foundation of your worship. You being honest with God about who you are\, what you feel\, and submitting all your frailties and weaknesses makes your worship true. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I confess You are my Lord and acknowledge You as a Spirit. I know if I am to worship You; I have to worship You in spirit. I have to be the sacrifice. I have to lay myself at the altar\, my real self. I repent for all the times I tried to hide stuff or pretend with You. I am not sure why I tried because You Are God. You already know everything about me. All the things have done\, all the things I am doing\, and all the things I will do. Yet You love me still. I might be able to convince people I am sincere when I am not. However\, You can see inside my heart. If I am sincere\, You will see it and receive my worship. If I am not\, You will know it and You won’t accept my offering. You do not make it complicated it at all. It is that cut and dry. You know if I am asking for forgiveness because I truly am repentant or if I am just ashamed because I got caught. One of the many wonderful things about You is\, when there is something wrong in my heart; I can tell You. I am so grateful because not only will You show me why it’s wrong and You will fix it. You want me to be honest with You\, why wouldn’t I. You already know. My honesty gives me the opportunity to enrich my relationship with You\, take ownership of my weaknesses and flaws\, and grow. Thank You for Your compassion\, Your grace and Your mercy… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Matthew 23:39
DESCRIPTION:Matthew 23:39 For I declare to you\, you will not see Me again until you say\, Blessed (magnified in worship\, adored\, and exalted) is He Who comes in the name of the Lord! (AMP)  \nDo you see the Lord in all things? \nAnd as you go through life\, sometimes it’s hard to see God. The things you experience\, the situations in your life\, can make you feel God is far away. Especially when you are doing what you know to do to please God and things are not going the way you think they should. When the enemy seems to attack from all sides\, there are things you need to remind yourself of.  \n\nYour God is the Almighty God; do not be afraid.\n\nIsaiah 41:10 Fear not [there is nothing to fear]\, for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed\, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties\, yes\, I will help you; yes\, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice. (AMPC) \n\nGod will sustain you; it does not matter how it looks.\n\nPsalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip\, fall\, or fail). (AMPC) \n\nGod is using your situation for “the” good.\n\nRomans 8:28 And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God\, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. (AMP) \n\nGod is at work; just trust Him and wait. You will make it through.\n\nIsaiah 40:31 But those who trust in the Eternal One will regain their strength. They will soar on wings as eagles. They will run—never winded\, never weary. They will walk—never tired\, never faint. (TVT) \n\nBe grateful and thankful\, no matter what. \n\n1 Thessalonians 5:18 Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be\, be thankful and give thanks]\, for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will]. (AMPC) \nThe reminders will help . You are a soldier; you need to stay ready. How? You worship. \nPhilippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always [delight\, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say\, Rejoice! (AMPC) \nPsalm 118:24 This is the day of the Lord’s victory; let us be happy\, let us celebrate! (GNT) \nIf you worship\, the enemy can’t cause you to see your circumstances from his perspective. You will always see them from the Father’s perspective\, because worship focuses on your Lord and King. To see God in all things\, you have to keep your mind on Him.  \nIsaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you\, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! (NLT) \nAs you go through your trials\, your ups and your downs\, be willing to look for God. You must believe God has a plan and whatever situation you are in is a part of it. You must understand His love for you. If you do\, you will find Him and see Him at work\, then you will worship. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather God\, for a long time I struggled with 1 Thessalonians 5:18\, “In all things give thanks.” I realized I was struggling because I could not accept what the passage was asking. I thought if I said “for all things\,” that would be better. When I changed what I said\, I got some relief\, however\, I still had struggles. I repent for trying to make it easier for me. I should have come to You and accepted Your will. You have taught me it doesn’t really matter whether I am thanking You while I am going through or if I am thanking You because I am going through; You are at work. I have to see You in every situation in my life. I have to know You have all things under control. Sometimes the situations are tough. Sometimes my heart is broken. Sometimes tears roll down my face. Thank You for showing me all of those are the natural responses to my situation. The spiritual response\, to any state I am in\, is to remember You love me and give You thanks. Thank You for the tears. I can cry. I can feel the hurt. It is okay. Jesus wept. I need to grow from my experiences\, which I won’t do if I murmur and complain about them. Your hand is on my life. You have a plan for me. The conclusion of the matter is on the other side of all these situations. I see You at work. I will give thanks\, in all things\, for all things\, about all things and any other reason I can give You thanks for I must always remember. nothing comes into my life that has not been filtered through Your hands. If I accept You are in control\, it’s all right… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
