Find Joy In Me

Find Joy in Me, for I am your Strength,  It is vital to keep your Joy alive, especially when you’re in the throes of adversity.  Whenever you are struggling with difficulties, you need to guard your thoughts and spoken words carefully. If you focus too much on all the things that are wrong, you will become increasingly discouraged – and your strength will be sapped.  As soon as you realize what is happening, stop this hurtful process immediately.  Turn to Me, asking Me to help you with all your struggles.

Take time to praise Me: Speak or sing words of worship.  Read scriptures that help you rejoice in Me.

Remember that your problems are temporary but I am eternal — and so is your relationship with Me.  As you find Joy in Me, delighting in My unfailing Love for you, your strength will increase.  This is the Joy of the Lord, which is yours for all time and throughout eternity!

Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks and send some to those who have nothing prepared.  This day is sacred to our Lord.  Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength,”  NEHEMIAH 8:10

All Around You

“When you have felt lost and desperate, yearning for a sign from Me, you were surrounded by exquisite signs of beauty, growth, and color, and you recognized them not as being Mine.  True, My form is familiar to you, you have seen it every day.  I built your world out of My own Spirit and filled it with My all-pervading Presence so you would know indisputably that in Me you live and have your being.

In a thousand different places, you keep searching for Me, finding tidbits of information about Me everywhere you look.  All the while, I am so close to you that I have been overlooked, you have taken Me for granted until you no longer recognize Me.  As you reach outward hoping to find Me, I hide in your mind, your heart, your soul, I hide in the consciousness within you.

For I am the well of living waters, your reservoir of life force, and if you will learn to draw from My resources, eagerly and deliberately, these resources will increase and multiply until your entire being is transformed into a vessel unceasingly running over with holy radiance.

My presence as your inner consciousness is just as infinite as My unending presence in the cosmos all around you.”

The Door Of Everything, Ruby Nelson, p. 10 – 11.

Trusting God

“Trust in Him at all times.  Trust is hard, because we can trust, and still bad things happen. We need to work at it daily, as things go well in our lives, we get the feeling we have everything under control, and trust is not a daily focus. When hard times happen, trust becomes more important but not easy because we are out of practice. Trusting God is an exercise of faith, looking at God’s goodness, power, and promises above our fears and discouragements, above confusing doubts, and above our immediate situation.

Pour out your heart. God never wearies listening to the burdens of His people; we should tell him everything that hurts us. Make him a friend; we cannot be more pleasing than when our heart is fully relying on Him. Philippians 4:6-7 tells us to present our requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Talk to Jesus and find His peace.

God is our refuge. Knowing God as our refuge allows us to trust Him. Biblical David is a great example of someone who knew God as his refuge. At different points in his life, David was on the run from people who literally wanted to kill him, but he always found safety in God. When we turn to God for help, we begin to see Him as our refuge. There is no situation we will ever face that is out of God’s control, so the best place to be is right with Him.”

Let The Freedom Of The Spirit Triumph

“Your need may be for discipline or for obedience. You may need to learn to forget the self in service for others, or you may need to learn patience, persistence and perseverance. You may need to learn to wait upon Me and do nothing without being still, seeking deep within and waiting until you hear My still small voice before doing anything.

These are all vitally important lessons which need to be learnt by every soul on the spiritual path, and when you have learnt these lessons there are always more to be learnt; life is a classroom where you are learning something new all the time. Learn quickly and move on and upward.

Seek My full blessings on everything you undertake and go your way in peace.

Let there be no conflict within you, know where you are going, know what you are doing and be at perfect peace. Let there be no tug-of-war within you but let the freedom of the Spirit triumph.

Let those words ring in your ears, and sing in your heart.”

Begin The Day

This is the day the Lord has made.  Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24

Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that I am pouring into this brief portion of your life.  Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since I am the Author of your circumstances.  The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank Me for them.  This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees Me to work my ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it.

To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries.  I knew what I was doing when I divided time into twenty-four-hour segments.  I understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time.  Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past.  There is abundant Life in My Presence today.

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.  But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. — Philippians 3:13 – 14
