I Am Yours: We Belong to Christ

    Because of Jesus Christ, we have a relationship with the Father. He claims us as His children. We belong to Him and nothing can change this. As long as we live in Him, He will keep His hands upon us. The Song of Solomon reveals the depths of Christ’s love for the Church.

My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. (Song of Solomon 2:16)

The damsel in this scripture declares how she and her beloved belong to one another. This is how we should view our relationship with Christ. We have Him and He certainly has us. Because of this, we should be willing to submit ourselves to Him daily; only doing those things, which please Him.

Because we belong to Him, our faith and hope in unfavorable situations should remain. Let us now declare our love and devotion to Him by saying, “I Am Yours!”

Prayer of the Week:

 I ask for a renewal on today. I remember how you have blessed me. I will recall to mind your word. Help me to stay on the right path. Amen.”

    The Lord is worthy to be praised. He demonstrates His love and kindness to us daily. However, the cares of this world will sometimes cause us to rethink our stance on His goodness. Even in times of sorrow, grief, and despair, God is still worthy of our praises.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Rev 4:11 (KJV)

Never forget that God is worthy of our praises. In spite of every negative circumstance and situation, He remains faithful. He has created us for His glory and for His honor. Therefore, on this day, we must remember to praise, exalt, and worship Him. He is forever worthy!

Prayer of the Week:

 “I come before you on today Lord asking for grace to do what I know to do is right. Help me to have the proper response to the situations that are in my life. I thank you now. Amen.”

 

In Your Presence: The Place of Joy

Life is full of distractions and disturbances. Where can we go to find relief? The answer is not in vacations, trips, pills, or any other substances. The only place we can find true peace is in the presence of the Lord.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalms 16:11 (KJV)

In His presence, we can find all that we need. We can find rest and peace. We can receive healing and deliverance. In His presence, we can be changed. Only in His presence will we become like Him. Never lose the desire to be in His presence.

Remember, His presence is not always signified by emotions, but by an inward peace and assurance. As we live and worship in His presence, we will find the fullness of joy. Freedom will be ours also, because where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Prayer of the Week:

“I thank you for the presence of the Holy Spirit. I can always find the peace I need through His presence. I thank you for all things. Amen.”
