Is God on Your side?

Is God on Your side?. Another excellent post from Clear Bible. How easily we as human beings trust in forms, rituals, or something else to “get God on our side” instead of seeking true relationship with the living God!

More Mistakes, More Grace

Abundant Life

“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10 New King James)

The abundant life Jesus came to give us is much more than I had thought. I receive it as I draw closer to Him. I experience more of that life when I make Him and His work my top priority instead of continuing to try to manage life and circumstance my own way.

Abundant life for me includes freedom from some things, like addictions, compulsions, fear of disapproval that makes me dishonest, worry, anger, jealousy, the desire to get all the attention and approval, self-focus, greed, hoarding, obsessions, and the drive to control everything from ink pens to people. It also includes freedom to –enjoy God, appreciate His blessings, love others, and experience peace of heart and soul.

Dear Lord, You extend many invitations to me for banquets where You want to pour out Your love and draw me closer to Yourself so I can have more of that life overflowing. Often I’ve let the world drown out Your voice or thought I was too busy to come to the banquet. But I don’t want to miss another one! By Your grace, I won’t waste a minute responding to Your call. Amen.

God’s Unfailing Love Continues

Lord God all-powerful with thoughts high above us,

You have stooped down to care for and love us.

Please open my ears so I may hear You

And grant me eyes to see truth so I will fear You.

Teach me to obey and trust in Your goodness.

You will keep me in peace. You will not forsake us.

Your mercy is great. Your kindness is forever.

Never can anything my soul from You sever.

 

Psalm 100:5 “For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.” New Living Translation

The God Who Loves

Lord God on high, You are holy.

You are total righteousness.

And yet You regard the lowly

And forgive all my sinfulness.

 

You fill my life with music,

With joy and peace from above.

Every good gift comes from You,

O merciful Father of love.

 

Your love is higher than the mountains,

O Lord, yes deeper than the sea.

It is broader than the universe.

You wrap it sweetly around me.

Psalm 138:6 “Though the LORD is on high, yet He regards the lowly….” James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights….” New King James

Infusion

God, You are King and Lord forever, entirely just and true, worthy of all fear and awe. Yet You are love. You call us into Your presence, made righteous by the blood of Jesus. You, Yourself, paid the dreadful price for us to be totally forgiven. Royalty infused with love! How great You are, eternal King!

You are almighty Creator. Nothing is too hard for You. You have made everything, and it is but the work of Your fingers! You are Lord over all, and still You are personal. You count the hairs on our heads. You invite us into intimate fellowship with You. Awesome power and personal care—infusion again! How great You are, mighty God!

Psalm 62:11-12 “…Power, O God, belongs to you; unfailing love, O Lord, is yours….” New Living Translation
