ALL IN With All Things Of Your Kingdom,

Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage And Strength

Today, I Kimberly Ann McCarthy lay down my personal rights, plans, expectations and serve God for the sake of His Kingdom. I will cling to God's Kingdom Purposes that are in play all around me and put my personal expectations in His hands. In humble willessness, I will dream the dreams of God's Kingdom and put into play in my life-path today, His Kingdom purposes.

I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me.

Christianity is not a voice in the wilderness, but a life in the world. It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way.

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV

Notes From Listening To 2 Timothy:

There will be hard times as people will be lovers of self, ungrateful, unforgiving, without self control, conceited, lovers of pleasure not of God, having a form of ungodliness but not its power. These gain control of the weak willed. Always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. Opposing the truth, men of depraved minds. Their folly will be clear to everyone. Purpose, faith, love endurance and sufferings of Jesus, those things He endured and the Lord rescued from all . We will be persecuted, continue with what you have learned. Know the Holy Scriptures they make you wise for salvation. All scripture is useful for us to equip us.

My Thoughts About This:

Yes Lord, so thankful for Your Word, that equips us for what You have called us to. The best thing is we are called to You 1st and You are the Living Word of God! We do live in hard times where the lovers of pleasure rant their deceit, display their form of ungodliness. As the Word speaks, it shows the folly of sinners with clarity, we don't have to prove God's Word, He does fine without us interfering, we just need to continue in what He is teaching us.

Selfishness looks first at home, but godliness seeks first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, yet in the long run selfishness is loss, and godliness is great gain. It needs faith to act towards our God with an open hand, but surely he deserves it of us; and all that we can do is a very poor acknowledgment of our amazing indebtedness to his goodness. Charles Spurgeon

A Seasoned Servant Of God Has Encouraged Me Today

Pastor Elliott Osowitt

Galatians 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

The Bible is not a smorgasbord. The Bible proves itself and does not disagree with itself. The Bible repeatedly speaks about the abuse of alcohol (Prov. 20:1; 31:4-5; Isa. 24:9; 1 Cor. 6:9-10; Eph. 5:18). The bigger problem is that God's people need to search the scriptures to discern what God is saying; not look for bits and pieces to support unholy living. God will not be mocked.

Do have questions about what is right or wrong? Do you truly want instruction on living a holy life before God and man? There are many good study Bibles on the market that point you to scripture to help you determine God's counsel for Holy living. Men, don't pick one verse and tell your wife that she can't ever cut her hair again. God did not give us the Holy Scriptures so we can have our way. He gave us the GOOD BOOK so we can have instruction to live HIS WAY and have life eternal through Jesus Christ. Pastor Elliott

Notes As I Listen To Galatians 2

He went in response to a revelation… in response to God. Freedom we have in Christ Jesus, keep it, keep the truth of the gospel with you. God does not judge by external appearance. God is at work in our ministry, be called to God. Give everyone who has the Grace of God, the right hand of fellowship. Remember the poor, always, be eager to help others. Don't draw back, don't separate yourself from others because of petty differences. Don't point your finger at others, three fingers are pointed back at you. Man is justified by faith in Jesus Christ, not by observing the law. No one is justified only in Christ, not by anything other. Jesus does not promote sin. Through the law, we die to the law to live for God. We are crucified by Christ and He lives in me. The life we live in the body, we live by faith in Jesus Christ. Righteousness can't be gained through the law, but only through Jesus.

My Thoughts About This:

I like what Pastor Elliott said about so many people taking things out of the Bible, out of context to support their sin. That is so true. The bible is for seeking God, for learning how to live His Way by His Holy Spirit, not for our own personal applications that bring us comfort and do nothing to stretch our souls from here to there unto forever. I find that I too do this at times when I don't want to hear the truth that changes me. I like to read the whole chapter if a verse has spoken to me, get the fullness out of God's truth.

Culture of Faith Written By Boyd Bailey

Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… But as for me and my household we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15

Is there enough evidence in your home for you to be convicted of following Jesus Christ? This is a choice that God gives us, a choice to center our home around faith or a facade. What happens behind the doors of your home? Is your home an incubator for faith? Indeed, your ministry begins at home. When your faith works at home, you have the credibility to export it to other environments. It is your laboratory for living.

This does not mean you are without problems, conflicts, and challenges at home. On the contrary, it is when your faith sustains you through family difficulties that it becomes a compelling reason for others to follow Christ. The question for the head of the home is, are you the spiritual leader? As a single parent or the father or mother in the home, do you model prayer and Bible study? Does the fruit of the Spirit flow from your character? Are you involved with a community of believers in a local church?

Belief in God is a choice, so what are some wise choices you can make to build your household of faith? Begin by developing an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Once you are born again, you have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to grow in your faith. Learn the Bible, apply it to your life, and let God change you from the inside out.

Next, challenge your family to do the same. Create a culture of prayer that becomes a catalyst for their time with Christ. Family devotions, small groups with other believers, and journaling are a few ways to feed the faith appetite of your loved ones. Take your family to church. This sets the stage for a week of faith and obedience.

Perhaps you read a chapter in Proverbs over dinner. Pray with your spouse. Turn off the television one night a week for 30 minutes, then discuss God's word or act out a Bible story in a play and then pray for one another. Teach your children to pray for the sick, the lost, and the hurting. Model for them the joy of generous giving and serving.

Show them how to serve the homeless, orphans, and the elderly. Allow your kids to experience summer camps. This will galvanize their faith. It is a financial sacrifice but it is an investment that will keep throwing off dividends throughout their lives.

Talk with your family about your own struggles and failures and God's faithfulness to answer prayer and take care of you in spite of your mistakes. Your family needs to see you as much vulnerable as they do confident. Indeed, facilitating faith in your home is a daily choice; this is one reason Jesus prayed…

"Give us each day our daily bread" (Luke 11:3). Am I a catalyst for Christ in my home? Do I serve the Lord with my family?

Related Readings: Genesis 18:19; 2 Kings 23:24; John 4:53; Acts 18:18

Genesis 18:19

For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him."

A Minute With Maxwell

Complacent! Complacent is an attitude where we become satisfied with where we are and what we are doing and say this and no more. We have potential but we choose to stop. The day we become complacent is the day we start to die. People who have no goals and nothing to get up in the morning to do something of significance. People who become complacent they begin to die inwardly and this is the worse kind of cancer. Complacent people are already dead, they just have not made it official yet.

My Thoughts About This:

Thank You! Oh, this is so true! I pray God wakes up every complacent person and sets their feet in the path of the flow of God's Kingdom purpose in play all around them. I pray God pulls out by the roots, every complacent weed out of our souls! May we walk in the potential of God's Kingdom purposes at play all around us in our moments and into and through our choices. Jesus I pray we see the Glory of God's Kingdom purposes bloom where we have been planted by You. AWE-GOD!

Hebrews 4 ~ The Message Bible

14-16Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let's not let it slip through our fingers. We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.

My Thoughts About This:

Hey sweet girl! Thank you so much for your ministry! I am constantly being blessed by it. Today the song really helped me and the scripture was perfect. I guess this move to Georgia is really teaching me bunches, stretching me like no other. Loneliness is a big factor. Our weekends are full with ministry to the Military at Ft Benning and I know without a doubt this is why we are here. But, during the week, I am so lonely. I don't know anyone here yet… So, this song helped me today… To take an "Omnipresent Reality Check" Yes God is with me and yes He has a purpose for everything I am growing through here in Columbus Georgia. Lv ya… thanks

You won't walk through this alone, I never said loneliness was something you never have to fight, but I did say, I will be right there by your side! I did say, I'll always help you fight. You know I made a promise that I intend to keep. My Grace will be sufficient in every time of need, my love will be the anchor that You can hold on to, this is the promise I have made to you.

Worthy News Brief @worthyemail.com

Kimberly, press through the swamps!

Psalms 107:2-6 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

We watched the movie "Pilgrim's Progress" and I have to say, it's remarkably close to the book, which often is not the case when a movie is based upon a book. In his book, Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan has written one of the most beautiful allegories about the journey we all travel as a believers. The book describes the hero, Christian, and his journey from the City of Destruction to his heavenly destination, the Celestial City. Now there's one part of Pilgrim's Progress that I want to focus on today-- walking through the Swamp of Despondency!

At one point during their travels, Christian and his companion suddenly find themselves there....in the Swamp of Despondency. Still bearing his burden, Christian, begins to sink in the mire. His traveling companion manages to get out, but he returns to the City of Destruction without giving aid to Christian. Christian is left all alone and sinking even deeper in the mire, until Help, theallegorical figure for the Holy Spirit, pulls him free from the swamp.

Christian then asks Help why this dangerous plot of land has not been mended so that poor travelers might go safely to the Celestial City. Help replies, "This miry slough is such a place that cannot be mended."

How true it is in real life! As hard as we try to avoid them, whether young in the Lord, or spiritually mature...swamps of despondency seem inevitable, and we must struggle through them!

Charles Spurgeon once wrote to his students in the book, "Lectures to my Students", "Fits of depression come over most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy. There may be here and there men of iron...but surely the rust frets even these."

Kimberly, there are times in our lives when we will struggle through the swamps of despondency -- but praise God that He has provided us a helper for those times of need! We need to press through, seeking and trusting the power of the Holy Spirit to pull us out of those nasty swamps, and set our feet back upon the Rock of our salvation. Let's also look around us to see our brethren who may be struggling in the swamps of despondency, so that, rather than abandoning them, we might give them a hand on their journey to the celestial city! Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah Baltimore, MD

My Thoughts About This:

I so know those "fits of despondency" and the rust of iron and they are so not fun! I think loneliness leads me into the swamp of despondency. This season of my life, loneliness has been a constant "thorn of my flesh" even though I have asked the Lord to remove it. God is teaching me that HE is simply-significantly my enough and that even loneliness has its Kingdom purpose for the good of my soul. Sometimes the Sovereign Will of God is so hard to swallow, yet the other colleague of God's will is His Infinite Love and I find that the two are interlocked and balance each other out. We must stand united with both God's Sovereign Will And His Infinite Love and this becomes possible when our hearts become undivided in complete surrender to God. An undivided heart-completely surrendered to God makes it possible for us to stand strongly united with God's Sovereign Will and His Infinite Love. Make it so in me so I can press through the swamps of despondence and leave the burden of my loneliness back in the mire.

YOU VERSION NOTE – GOD INSPIRED- GOD WRITTEN

http://www.youversion.com/notes/2677265/one-can-only-hope

Psalm 25: 8 Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in [His] way.9 He leads the humble in what is right, and the humble He teaches His way.10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and steadfast love, even truth and faithfulness are they for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.11 For Your name's sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity and my guilt, for [they are] great.12 Who is the man who reverently fears and worships the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose.13 He himself shall dwell at ease, and his offspring shall inherit the land.14 The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.

Amplified Bible

My Thoughts About This Verse:

I love Psalm 25! It stirs my hope like no other! I know in order to have a hope like the one expressed in these verses of Psalm 25, I need to set my life before God, instead of before my discouragements. It is a slight adjustment of my life-position, so I am Holy Aligned with God's Grace instead of human disgrace. Though I realize, I too must completely trust God; trust must be in place before hope can be activated in my soul. I deeply realize trust must be the framework of my soul before hope is its garment. I can see hope functions best in the purity of righteousness; sin stymies hope, distracting it from its supernatural purpose. I might even go so far to say that sin muddies hope's clarity with confusion. Oh, I despise confusion! Don't you? I can imagine when God's goodness and purity flows freely in my soul, this is when my soul is the most saturated in the clarity of God's hope. I want to set up my soul with an ambiance of respect-honor-awe for God, because in this atmosphere, hope can and will dominate my attitudes in an incredible and huge way. I gleam by reading Psalm 25, that the focus of a healthy soul is ever towards Jesus, fully facing the ONE WHOSE selfless sacrifice, invested greatly in my future and hope. I desire to learn how to wait in hope in all the situations of my life! I know as I develop my AWE of God this can be a possible victory for me. Waiting is always hopeful when activated by a humble soul and teachable spirit that is following closely after willessness. In A Holy Alliance With Righteousness, I Simply-Significantly Submit To God In Reverent-Humble AWE And Then My Soul Will Be Saturated In The Hope This Psalmist Had For His AWE-GOD! One Can Only Hope!

I Must Decrease - God Must Increase In Me!

My Thoughts:

Wed Oct 26 2011 My Thoughts: From The Bridegroom's Voice Week 4

Hope is a light in my soul that can and will endure. I can sit in the darkness of despair or I can chose to flip on the light switch of hope.
The Holy Spirit is my hope ally and can-will renew my hope when the world plasters it with gunk!
Acting out of my discouragement is definitely a step into a pit of disolutionment. I need to learn to take discouragement to Jesus 1^st before I step out anywhere with it.
Negative emotions come from opening my mind up to discouraging thoughts. Optimism is an attitude that is fuel by the Word of God's Promise and hope is found in the heart of the one who's mind is renewed by God
Hope strengthens me, it helps me endure and press through the trials of this life, growing as I go.

Nehemiah 8:8-12

8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. 9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the Lord your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the laws. 10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength. 11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. 12 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.

King James Version

My Thoughts About This Verse:

God's joy is our strength. There is a season for joy and we very rarely yield to it, we always by-pass the celebration.
Celebration of our God, is definitely a way to develop our AWE-GOD, which in turn feeds our hope, transforms our attitudes and brings great strength.
I can understand, I weep to when I read the word and it brings out my sin and weakness, yet I understand too that it should bring out hope in knowing God is not finished in me, He is working out His salvation in Me

Psalm 25: 1-

1 UNTO YOU, O Lord, do I bring my life.2 O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me.3 Yes, let none who trust and wait hopefully and look for You be put to shame or be disappointed; let them be ashamed who forsake the right or deal treacherously without cause.4 Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.5 Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You [You only and altogether] do I wait [expectantly] all the day long.6 Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercy and loving-kindness; for they have been ever from of old.7 Remember not the sins (the lapses and frailties) of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your mercy and steadfast love remember me, for Your goodness' sake, O Lord.8 Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in [His] way.9 He leads the humble in what is right, and the humble He teaches His way.10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and steadfast love, even truth and faithfulness are they for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.11 For Your name's sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity and my guilt, for [they are] great.12 Who is the man who reverently fears and worships the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose.13 He himself shall dwell at ease, and his offspring shall inherit the land.14 The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning. 15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He will pluck my feet out of the net.16 [Lord] turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.17 The troubles of my heart are multiplied; bring me out of my distresses.18 Behold my affliction and my pain and forgive all my sins [of thinking and doing].19 Consider my enemies, for they abound; they hate me with cruel hatred.20 O keep me, Lord, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed or disappointed, for my trust and my refuge are in You.21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for and expect You.22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all their troubles.

Amplified Bible

My Thoughts About This Verse:

The key to hope is found in this verse when it shows how we need to set our lives before God.
If I set my life before my discouragements, I will be found wanting and hopeless. Setting my life before God, brings hope into it.
Trust must be in place before hope can be activated in our souls. Trust is the framework and hope is the garment.
Waiting is hopeful when activated by humility and teachableness and these two follow closely after willessness. Simply-Submit!
Hope functions in the purity of righteousness; sin stymies hope, distracting it from its supernatural purpose.
Where God's goodness flows freely, there you find a soul saturated in His hope.
Respect-Honor- Awe sets the atmosphere in your soul where hope can dominate your attitudes in an incredible and huge way.
The focus of a healthy hope is every towards the one Who invested His life for it and that would be our Lord Jesus Christ!
Even in times of great trial, God keeps us in His peace, His hope steadies us, delivering by way of His great promise.
If I wait on God, I wait in hope with all my expectations for the outcome submitted to His Sovereignty. He can!

Notes From Joyce Meyer TV program

Worry and fear does not meet your needs.

Guilt is what we have done that continues to haunt us

Insecurity is feeling like we don't measure up

Insecurity is a result of what you think about yourself

Our mind gives us continual trouble Proverbs 23:7 if we let it because where our thoughts to, we go.

Meditate: Roll the word over in your mind until it becomes a part of you and the information becomes revelation. Joyce Meyer

You can open or shut your mind to things like gossip, course jokes, forebodings, rumors.

Fear enters in by way of your thoughts and then creates

How will we learn if we think we know it all?

Acceptable Christian Attitude: I will not fear because God is with me always in the valley's and on the mountain tops

Romans 14:23 Worry, Sin, Guilt all sins because without faith, the attitude of fear is offensive to God.

Will you be strong or weak; conqueror or conquered; victor or victim

We battle with seeing ourselves in the right perspective.

Once you know who you are in Christ, everything changes

The Word of God is the only thing that divides soul/spirit

Differentiate between who you are in the flesh and who you are in the Spirit

#1 need is to know God

#2 need to know who you are in Christ

What you think and what you feel must line up with the Word of God

You study and meditate on the Word until you can differentiate who you are in Christ separate from who you are in the flesh

Ephesians 1:19 It is amazing how you will "feel" if you would just take the time to renew your mind.

Spiritually we are raised above this mess of the world

You feelings will catch up with your faith filled decisions

I am not afraid the problem because God is with me always

Constant Conversation W/God Oct 25th Tue

AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

October 25^th Tuesday

Make My Life Willess Today, Less Of All Things Me, More Of YOU !

ALL IN With All Things Of Your Kingdom,

Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage And Strength

I Kimberly Ann McCarthy ask You, Holy Spirit to position me in the flow of Your purposes that are in play all around me today. I hope huge for Kingdom purposes to be fulfilled in me and through me this day!

Christianity is not a voice in the wilderness, but a life in the world. It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.
Maltbie Davenport (Mattie D) Babcock

Great God! Great GOD Travel Adventure!

Police Men –Military= Are God's Ministers!

3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

Soldiers are sent all over the world by God and recently I heard a retired soldier's wife tell a group of soldiers about the imprint of their boots in the sand. It was pretty cool as she, Anna Marie Warren told them that their boots on the ground, wherever God sends them will leave an imprint and we hope and pray that imprint will be a Godly one, a living legacy of God's life and character. Every soldier's boots on the ground where they have been sent, will leave a mark, an imprint in the life of someone else. As your boots hit the ground of the soil where God has sent you, make your imprint great in the goodness of God, the strength, honor and courage of a soldier submitted to His Highest Power, Jesus Christ! AWE-GOD!

YOU VERSION NOTE – GOD INSPIRED- GOD WRITTEN

Romans 15:13

May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

Amplified Bible

http://www.youversion.com/notes/2668698/soaked

I like the picture my imagination makes of this scripture, of my soul soaked in hope and dripping all over everyone the joy and peace of Jesus Christ! I can see how hope genuinely bubbles over when it is heated up with the Power of the Holy Spirit! Our God Is An All Consuming Fire! I love having the Holy Spirit alive in me from every moment to every choice I make, and I love knowing that with the Holy Spirit comes the benefit of a great peace and an awesome joy! During the day I really enjoy taking several "Omnipresent Reality Checks"! Yes, The Holy Spirit is with me, Yes, He is always being and Yes none of the junk of this world can stop Him from being! AWE-GOD! I find that the less of my human condition in action because of the more of the Holy Spirit I have yielded my nature too, the most of His JOY strengthens me! Believing God is a moment to choice exercise of my faith. When my belief leans into my own personal strengths, I experience discouragement and disappointment; when my belief leans into the Power of the Holy Spirit, I experience His crazy-wonderful hope! I also find that the order of my life-priorities reflects the J.O.Y I receive and that is why Jesus 1st - Others 2nd - and You last is a good Jesus-Joy barometer. I find my joy bubbles over the most when I am called to Jesus 1st and serving others out of the power of His Holy Spirit. Yes, God's Joy Is Real As It Becomes Real Through Me Sharing Jesus With Others, And It Is Then I Am Always Soaked In HOPE! Soaked! AWE-GOD!

The Groomsman's Journal : Reflecting, Meditating and Responding

I Must Decrease - God Must Increase In Me!

My Thoughts:

Tue Oct 25^th 2011- My Thoughts: From The Bridegroom's Voice Week 4

I have dealt with a lot of disappointment – discouragement – despair. The dreaded D's! God's hope always trumps them.
It is my choice to fellowship with hope or to sit with and in the dark despair of disappointment.
Discouragement-Disappointment usually leans upon lies which can't stand long in the face of authentic Jesus JOY!
Hope is authentic and not only does it stand through the trials of time, it produces genuine JOY!
Discouragement left to stand in the place of God's hope, will fall forward, paying into despair a debt already paid by Jesus.
The disappointments of life have no power over your hope; God's Hope withstands all discouragement. The only power disappointment has over you is from the attention you give it, focus on God and discouragement will not bind you, because hope in God will free you! Put all your expectations in God and you will be encouraged daily by how He works out every discouragement for Kingdom good!

Romans 15:13

Amplified Bible

My Thoughts About This Verse:

By The Power Of The Holy Spirit! Hope Arise!
Joy comes most when I am serving others. To have hope in my life there must be more of Jesus, less of me. More of the interests of others, less of me.
The order of my life must reflect the J.O.Y. it receives by being a person who puts Jesus 1^st Others 2^nd and You 3^rd.
Some of the best benefits of having the Holy Spirit in me is His joy and peace and they impact me as I believe in HIM.
When I believe in my own strength 1^st, my soul is saturated with stress, when I believe in Jesus 1^st, my soul is soaked and dripping with His hope!
Exercise

Revelation 3:10-13

Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance [have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth.11 I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one may rob you and deprive you of your crown.12 He who overcomes (is victorious), I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God; he shall never be put out of it or go out of it, and I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which descends from My God out of heaven, and My own new name. 13 He who can hear, let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).

My Thoughts About This Verse:

Hope helps us to hold fast to that which God has already taught us and God's promises are the grip of our hold.
Expectancy is really key to our endurance. Am I putting all my expectations in God? This is hope!
Expectant – patient endurance is fed by hope and hope is guarded by the Spirit and Truth of God
Our hope must be guarded in times of trial and testing. What guard our hope? The Word of God's Promise!
I pray to overcome, to be victorious in Christ, to have His name written in my heart forever.

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

Ephesians 5:19-20

19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

New International Version (NIV)

Notes From Listening To Ephesians 5

Be imitators of God as dearly loved children and live a life of love. Jesus did this for us. There most not be any kind of impurity or greed, foolish talk, course joking but rather thanksgiving… No impure person has any inheritance in the Kingdom of God. God's Wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Live as children of the light, for the fruit of the light exists in rightoesness. Find out what pleases the Lord and do it. Everything exposed by the light becomes visible. Wake up Oh Sleeper and Christ will shine on you. Live as wise, making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil. Understand what the Lord's will is, instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to each other with Psalms… Give thanks to God for everything in the name of Jesus. Submit to each other out of reverence to Christ. Wives should submit to their husbands. Husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church. Be holy and blameless…. He who loves his wife, loves himself. WE are members of God's Body. Leave mom and dad, become one flesh, a profound mystery. Wife must respect her husband.

http://wisdomhunters.com/ Boyd Bailey

Respect Him -"The wife must respect her husband." Ephesians 5:33b

Respect for a husband is like love is for a wife. It is a catalyst for his confidence and encouragement that he can fulfill his role as provider and leader. Most men question their ability to be everything they need to be for their family. But insecurities become insignificant in a home where a husband feels respect. A wife's support energizes her man like jet fuel to a booster rocket.

Husbands need the respect and support of their wives. It of course works both ways, as the wife needs to feel the support of her husband. But, respect is huge for a man. A God-fearing husband knows the Lord has placed him in a position of leadership. It is overwhelming sometimes, feeling squeezed by the pressures of life. The last thing a husband needs to feel is distance or distrust from his wife. Her spousal support may be the only thing that is preventing him from giving up.

"He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect" (1 Timothy 3:4).

Wives: Do not underestimate how your support sustains your husband. Your affirmation is valuable and powerful for the ongoing success of your husband. Men are not as self-sufficient as they might seem. On the outside we may seem invincible, but on the inside we are needy and desperate for recognition and validation. A man needs to know his wife trusts his decision making and his ability to provide for his family.

Your confidence in him propels his confidence in himself to higher levels. Your belief in your husband builds him up to believe in himself. It is difficult for a man to rise any higher than the opinion of his helpmate. Men long to be built up by their brides. Brag on him in public and affirm him in private. Look to your husband as the leader God has placed in your life.

Pray for him to lead lovingly and wisely. Be patient and don't usurp his authority when things are not getting done. Trust him to God, for He can handle him much better than your creative consequences. Give him over to God and trust in the accountability of the Almighty. Embrace your husband in the light of eternity. God wants him to grow up and give spiritual leadership. Let him lead—even when it means he fails. Your respect can grow the heart of your husband to love well.

"Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor" (Romans 13:7).

Women: Today! Think On This: How can I respect my husband in a way that encourages him and also honors the Lord?

Related Readings: Deuteronomy 1:15; Proverbs 31:23; Luke 11:43; 1 Timothy 3:2-4

1 Timothy 3:2-4

Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect.

AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

October 24, 2011, Monday

Make My Life Willess Today, Less Of All Things Me, More Of YOU !

ALL IN With All Things Of Your Kingdom,

Great God! Great GOD Travel Adventure!

It humbles me to the core of my being to stand before Soldiers and share the love and message of Jesus Christ, because I know that one day they may be giving their lives for my freedom. So, the greatest gift I can give them is sharing the life of Jesus, because His life will give them forever life.

#militarymonday Pray For Our Troops

It was a long day yesterday, but a very rewarding one as encouraged soldiers during the four Campus Military Ministry services. It was amazing to see God work, to see their faces change from hard to open, their countenances from wondering to courage. To watch God work through His Word, His Truth, His Hope and His Love to change a heart from death to life is a miracle of the heart that completely leaves me humbled that He would even want to use me, a broken vessel as His Voice and His Light. Me the one who cried out to God to let me stay home in North Carolina, the one who did not want to go to Georgia and then He uses me to tell others of Him of the greatness of His Holy Spirit. I stand in AWE of this great God. I came home tired yesterday and had to jump right on to the ministry of chat hosting for Biltmore's Vertical service and once again watch how this Awesome God could even through the internet change lives. It is more than I could imagine at times, His love for us imperfect people.

leadership wisdom from Ron edmondston blog

You are different – Opposites do tend to attract. Each spouse is not only differently physically, but there are differences in backgrounds, outlook on life and the way to approach a situation. This is not intended as a curse against marriage. God designed those differences for a reason. The more a couple learns to celebrate those differences, the stronger a marriage will become. (I address this issue in previous posts HERE and HERE.)

Leave and cleave – Don't let either set of in-laws dictate how you lead your new family. Decide in advance that no one, related or otherwise, is going to be a wedge between you two. Every couple has lots of other relationships, including perhaps children someday, but none of them should be allowed to interfere with the oneness God intends to create with the marriage. (I address these interferences more in THIS POST.)

Expect surprises – Life won't always be as blissful as it is today. There will be hard days, whether self-induced or life-induced. Life brings changes and those times have the ability to catch even the best marriages off guard if not prepared for them. We can never be fully prepared for what might come, but we can prepare ourselves that when something comes, whatever it is and no matter how hard it is, that we will handle it . Couples should use these times to improve the strength of their marriage rather than allow them to pull the marriage apart. (I talk about this issue in a post on keeping the marriage fun. Find it HERE.)

Make a commitment to the marriage no matter what – Couples usually assume they are doing this by standing at the altar together, but statistics would say otherwise. Many times these days a person is saying "I'm committed until it becomes difficult or until the love we have today fades." That's not the Biblical picture of marriage God designed. Marriage is more than simply a feeling of love, it is a commitment to love…for better or worse…from this day forward. Verbalizing and agreeing to that on the front end, and continuing to remind yourself of that through the difficult days, will help the marriage last. Couples who should ask for help soon, not letting problems in the marriage linger too long without asking for help. Remove the fear of asking for professional counseling if necessary. It would be better to get help early than to see the marriage disintegrate beyond repair. (I preached a message on the commitment of marriage HERE.)

Model after the right couples – I encourage couples to find a couple whose marriage they admire and follow them closely. Most likely they have some stories to share. Things may not have been as wonderful throughout their marriage as they are today. No doubt they have learned some practices to having a strong marriage. I challenge couples to learn all they can from the couple they want to be like. (I did a post about this issue HERE.)

Evaluate often – Couples should ask themselves often, are we growing together as a couple or further apart? Is the marriage growing stronger or are there holes that need addressing? Don't assume your spouse feels as you do. (I've learned this is especially true for men who often don't know there is a problem until it's a big problem.) Establish the understanding early in the relationship that you have the right to periodically check on the state of your marriage. (Read a post about questions to assess the health of a marriage HERE.)

Put Christ first – This is the one most couples expect the pastor to say, but it's not just the preacher answer, it's the best secret to a lasting marriage. "A chord of three strands is not easily broken." A couple's individual and collective relationship with Christ will ensure they can endure the hardest days of a marriage. When the relationship with Christ suffers, the marriage will often suffer. Satan looks for any excuse to destroy the marriage. Pour your heart and life into Christ and let Him strengthen and sustain your marriage. (I preached on Christ's standard for marriage HERE.)

That's my list. I'm not sure they apply simply to premarital couples. These are good principles for couples regardless of how long they have been married.

Just so you know, I have, at times, simply shared with them this list. Sometimes I weave them into the discussion. Regardless of how you choose to do it, make sure you are strategic in helping couples begin their married life together.

Pastors, how do you do premarital counseling? What would you add to my list?

My Thoughts About This:

Set Your Expectations In God!

We go into marriage sometimes with way too high expectations in each other. My expectations were horizontal 1^st instead of vertical to God 1^st. My husband was my knight in shining armor…. For the 1^st 6 months or so until he fell off the horse! After the 1^st year of my marriage, I stumbled into disappointment, disillusionment only because my expectations were in someone who could not meet all my needs. My expectations were not in a stable, Holy Alliance with God, but on a roller coaster ride of human conditions, which ended up in a perspective that soured my stomach towards my husband. I wish someone had explained that to me before I got married, that no human being could meet my needs. Eventually the Lord taught me and I got it, that He was the only one that could meet my needs and what I really needed was a sight adjustment in my focus, because the best alignment in marriage is vertical, from my heart to God's heart! Vertical! Out of this amazing Spirit To Spirit connection, all my horizontal relationships became burden less, because God was meeting my needs, so I could then be free to serve their interests 1^stand was strong enough to forebear with their weaknesses as I put my expectations in God's capable hands. It is kind of funny how God works because my vertical relationship changes me 1^st and when I had a horizontal relationship, I wanted God to change them, I never looked up and saw the image of God, therefore I only reflected my need. Having a vertical relationship with God, I see more clearly that I was perfectly created for my husband with and will be every day equipped with everything I need to be Mrs. Robert McCarthy. God has and will continue to make me into Bob's perfect helpmate as I put all my hope and expectation in God! I have a vertical relationship with God, He is my Rock, My Defense, My Provider, My Salvation, My Refuge, My Great And 1^st Love and because of this, my horizontal relationship these last 33 years with my husband has been one that has grown into a three strand cord that is not easily broken and I am experiencing the true joy of having a best friend and being in a love relationships where there are no conditions and no expectations that God is not working out on my behalf and for His Glory, because God's Got This! AWE-GOD!

Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

A Seasoned Servant Of God Has Encouraged Me Today

Pastor Elliott

Romans 12:15 "Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep"

Have you ever seen the pious and religious men and women of some sects of Judaism and Christianity who dress in black? Why black? A depressing and serious color. Why not pink, blue, or white…colors that reflect a more joyous feeling? I believe the answer is because many religious people believe they should not experience joy as a way of relating to the suffering of Christ. Although I can see their point and understand their rationale, I believe we should show our feelings honestly and unimpeded.

God doesn't tell us NOT to have feelings. He gives us guidelines for handling them. Spirituality doesn't mean having no feelings. Yeshua wept and rejoiced; Paul wrote openly about his feelings of despair as well as his confidence. King David danced for joy and admitted grief when he sinned. The fruit of the spirit includes joy. It is a gift from God. Why not show it?

Love, joy, sadness, courage, and fear are all part of the existence God has given us. Your godliness is not measured like a Richter scale where we hope that we don't have any emotions measured. Your emotions are measured by how you allow the choices arising from those feelings to be governed by the Word and the Spirit of the Living God.

I pray that today we all allow the Lord to govern our emotions.

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

"Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment." Proverbs 9:10

Wisdom has built her house. She sets her table! All who are simple come and hear, if you lack judgement, come, eat my food. Walk in the way of understanding. Rebuke a wicked man, incur abuse. Rebuke a mocker, He will hate you. Teach a righteousness man and he will add to his learning. If you are wise your wisdom will reward you, a mocker will suffer. Folly is undisciplined, without knowledge. Let all who are simple come and hear.

YOU VERSION NOTE – GOD INSPIRED- GOD WRITTEN

Wisdom's Path

http://www.youversion.com/notes/2660259/wisdom-s-path

The path of God's wisdom is not strewn with assumptions, but is paved with the fullness of God's Spirit and Truth. Assumptions flung like fiery darts do not burn up the wisdom of God; God's truth proves itself in time to be completely fire proof. We don't have to prove God's Wisdom, it stands on His Authority and it can and will endure through all those who test it's validity. Judgements made out of personal perspectives that are narrowed by boxing in God's wisdom, simply-significantly cannot prove themselves to be anything but foolish. God's Word is the final say of wisdom and the knowledgeable solution in all matters of our human condition. The common denominator of wisdom that stands the tests and trials of time is God's Spirit and Truth. Simply-Significantly, the Voice of God is wisdom and such knowledge and understanding is found in a personal relationship with God, as you surrender your human perspective and pray for His Higher Understanding. In relationship with God, you listen with spiritually conditioned ears that do not close out what you don't understand, but embrace the fullness of the mystery of AWE-GOD and it is in this humble state, God speaks and His Word becomes a powerful Rhema, leading you safely along a narrow path with His Good Judgement. Mockers of God's wisdom see only through the eyes of human perspective and walk on the broad path of comfortable mind-sets that don't stretch their humanity to and through an eternal perspective. Wisdom does not dead end as it is never found spiraling out on broad paths of assumptions that lead nowhere because of their simple minded judgements. Wisdom is set in your mind through God by a personal relationship with Him, His Spirit And His Truth. Wisdom steps out of a Holy Alignment of your heart with God's heart and it steps out into your world only because it has 1st bowed down in humble respect and AWE of God's Sovereignty. In Holy Alliance with God's Wisdom, your 1st step out is always down, bowed down before God in complete surrender of what you think you know and in respectful-humble Awe of your Almighty-All Knowing God. The wisdom of God is rich in relationship that results in the heart knowledge of Him and the partakers in such, will always walk in God's good judgement, gleamed from their personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and Truth. No assumptions! Know God- Experience His Wisdom in you and let His Knowledge live through you. AWE-GOD!

Isaiah 61 1-3 The Year of the LORD's Favor

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

My Thoughts About This:

Oaks Of Righteousness. So Be It Jesus! So Be It! AWE-GOD! Talking Up Your Truth! Offering Your Hope To The Brokenhearted! Sharing The Joy Of Jesus In The Face Of Despair. Jesus!

A Minute With Maxwell

Teach! WE all teach. Are we good at it? Do we really help people Do we make a difference? Everyone talks but does everyone communicate. There is a lot of conversation going on, but is there a lot of connecting going on? Everyone talks but is there a lot of conversation, connecting going on? The greatest reward in life is pouring your life into someone and teaching through intention and watching it take. The fun of the teacher is not the subject matter, the fun of the teacher is with the person who takes the subject matter and applies it to their life… the person who takes what is taught and learns from it. There is no higher calling than teaching people positive things in life, having a connection with them and watching them grow.

My Thoughts About This:

I really like what you said about the fact that there is a lot of conversation going on, but not a lot of connection. Isn't that the truth about our culture! Empty conversations, surface and shallow communications set up to appease the conscious of our disposable culture. How can my life teach anything if I am not willing to connect, daring to care in a deep way? Today I will be thinking on how to improve this, so my communication results in connection. Really in a sense, it is the same thing missing between religion and relationship…. A heart to heart connection! Thank you!

What does a woman long for from her husband? Simply love. A husband's love is like a fresh breath from heaven for a wife who feels vulnerable and at times fearful. His love is a rock of refuge after she reels from a relational conflict at work, church, or from another family member. The love of her husband goes a long way in satisfying that deep desire of a woman to love and be loved. Boyd Bailey

"His banner over me is love" (Song of Solomon 2:4b).

Worthy News Brief @worthyemail.com

Kimberly, let the light break through!

Judges 7:16-19 Then he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a shofar into every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and torches inside the pitchers. And he said to them, "Look at me and do likewise; watch, and when I come to the edge of the camp you shall do as I do: When I blow the shofar, I and all who are with me, then you also blow the shofars on every side of the whole camp, and say, 'The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!' " So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outpost of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just as they had posted the watch; and they blew the shofars and broke the pitchers that were in their hands.

When God called Gideon to lead Israel against their enemies, He wanted to show that a small army empowered by God was more effective than the largest armies. But notice how they fought – without weapons that an army would normally use. They fought with shofars and lamps! They fought with weapons that the world would consider ineffective, yet triumphed mightily over their enemies. They shouted as loud as they could, sounded the shofar, and broke the vessels that held the fire so that their lamps burst through with brightness.

This breaking of the lamps of clay holds a powerful metaphor for us. If we too are "earthen vessels" holding the fire of God – the Spirit of God within us, then a "breaking" of the outer man is necessary for His inner light to burst through. Victory can come out of brokenness. Our old life of self, often called the "old man", when truly crucified and broken, will give way to the release of the Lord's Spirit of God in our lives. The death of our Lord has broken the power of our self-life, since we were crucified with Him. Walking in that awareness brings light and victory.

Kimberly, let the love, peace, joy, and all the fruit of the Spirit break through in your life. Your old life of Self has been and is being broken, as Yeshua's victorious light shines through your earthen vessel.

Your family in the Lord with much agape love, George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah

My Thoughts About This:

I love that… a breaking of the outerman, the earthen vessels, that hold the fire of God causes God to shine through. Like that song: Broken Vessels of light piercing the night….

The Joy Of The Acquitted

1 THEREFORE, SINCE we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God's favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God. 3 Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. 4 And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. 5 Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.

Oh The Joy Of The Acquitted!

Oh the joy of God's abundant favor! I never take it for granted because I know I was born into the human condition of original sin. I made a conscious decision to choose Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord and since then, I have experienced the beauty of the reconciliation Jesus' life in me reflects as I experience the Father God's Unconditional Love and Abundant Favor. Because Jesus Christ covers me in His Righteousness, my hope and expectation is set upon the Infinite Love and Powerful Favor of my Father God! The Glory of God is reflected in my life as I fully face my Father God and feel the warmth of His Favor upon my countenance and the Holy Spirit assures me, I am God's child. Jesus' Righteousness paves the way for me to have hope, even in my human condition. Yes, the hope of my salvation, Jesus, is my greatest joy and He helps me stay steady in joy-strength through the all of the everything of my life. I know I have the Favor of my Father God because of Jesus and this encourages me to hope and feeds my endurance with joy and strength as I persevere and grow though the hard seasons of my life, as my Godly character is developed and my integrity is formed. I have a confident hope because it rests on my salvation, this hope will never disappoint me. Oh the JOY of God's Holy Spirit, Who lives in me because of Jesus' righteousness that covers me! I can develop a natural habit of joyful-confident hope because of a supernatural love poured out by Jesus, a sacrifice made for me, where He invested in my kingdom life, my heavenly citizenship. Righteousness- Favor-Hope is a circle of unending reality because of God's Omnipresence shining in my life, unadulterated by sin, because Jesus took it to the cross, that I might fully face my Father God and be a reflection of HIS GLORY! AWE-GOD! Omnipresent Reality Check! YES! I have the favor of Almighty God! I can hope huge in this favor and love and it will stand as the human hardships of my life develop my fortitude and spiritual maturity. Oh The Everlasting Joy Of The Acquitted!

My Thoughts:

Mon Oct 24^th 2011 My Thoughts: From The Bridegroom's Voice Week 4

I know that the desires of my heart are sometimes tainted with my human condition of selfishness.
God's favor will encompass my heart desires, cover them in a Sovereignty that is strong enough to relax my will
Hope flourishes and nourishes my soul the most when my will is relaxed in a position of personal surrender.
Dark, Darker or Darkest, it doesn't matter the degree, what is significant is that the Light of God's hope shatters all darkness. Hope In God!

Romans 5:1-5

1 THEREFORE, SINCE we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).2 Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God's favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God.3 Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.4 And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.5 Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.

My Thoughts About This Verse:

Reconciliation was made for me through Jesus and this gives me the hope of daily peace and favor between the Father God and I.
Because of Jesus Christ and His righteousness, I have the hope of God's Favor alive in my heart.
The Glory of God is alive in me and I have a hope that is not tainted by my human condition because Jesus covers me in His righteousness.
Jesus' righteousness is the path paved for me to have hope in my human condition
The hope of my salvation is my joy and it helps me stay steady in joy through the all of the everything of my life.
God's Hope feeds my endurance in His joy and strength as I persevere through the hard seasons of life, as my Godly character is developed and my integrity formed.
I have a confident hope because it rests on my salvation, this hope will never disappoint me, dissolution me or shame me.
Oh the JOY of God's Holy Spirit, Who lives in me because of Jesus' righteousness that covers me.
I can develop a natural habit of joyful-confident hope because of a supernatural love poured out by Jesus, invested in my Kingdom life.

Psalm 65:1-13

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A song.

TO YOU belongs silence (the submissive wonder of reverence which bursts forth into praise) and praise is due and fitting to You, O God, in Zion; and to You shall the vow be performed. 2 O You Who hear prayer, to You shall all flesh come. 3 Iniquities and much varied guilt prevail against me; [yet] as for our transgressions, You forgive and purge them away [make atonement for them and cover them out of Your sight]! 4 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whom You choose and cause to come near, that he may dwell in Your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple. 5 By fearful and glorious things [that terrify the wicked but make the godly sing praises] do You answer us in righteousness (rightness and justice), O God of our salvation, You Who are the confidence and hope of all the ends of the earth and of those far off on the seas; 6 Who by [Your] might have founded the mountains, being girded with power, 7 Who still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples, 8 So that those who dwell in earth's farthest parts are afraid of [nature's] signs of Your presence. You make the places where morning and evening have birth to shout for joy. 9 You visit the earth and saturate it with water; You greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; You provide them with grain when You have so prepared the earth. 10 You water the field's furrows abundantly, You settle the ridges of it; You make the soil soft with showers, blessing the sprouting of its vegetation. 11 You crown the year with Your bounty and goodness, and the tracks of Your [chariot wheels] drip with fatness. 12 The [luxuriant] pastures in the uncultivated country drip [with moisture], and the hills gird themselves with joy. 13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for joy and sing together.

My Thoughts About This Verse:

I like this Psalm because it truly reinforces what I believe about hope. I believe that hope grows strong as we develop our AWE-GOD.
When we begin developing our AWE of God in the all of our lives, it takes on an expression and it transforms our hope, maturing it into a hope that perseveres.
Being in God's Presence, developing a constant consciousness of Him, truly does develop a strong hope, a hope that will endure the all of our everything.
Knowing God, experiencing His Presence in the all of our everything helps us develop a strong hope in our lives.
Hope is fed by our AWE of God, by the knowing of His Character and the experiencing of His Presence as we develop a God consciousness that transforms our praise of God into AWE, a deep, respectful, humble, inspiring AWE-GOD!
Awe to me is reacting to God's Presence and expressing the majesty and magnificence of God's character in action all around us, His purposes in play in our lives.
