"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:11
"God comes to our lonely, anxious hearts and whispers our name. God says "I see both the fear you have of closeness and the deep longing you have to belong. I have come to comfort you and to respond to your need. I have been seeking a relationship with you. You belong. You belong to me. You are my child."

MY TURN!


UPDATE ON DEVOTIONAL. SEE COMMENT SECTION FROM ME.


Preparing for "my turn" to do tomorrow’s devotional and praise song (shared in a post from last week what I was going to do) for the organization I am employed at. Funny, we just hired two new people within last week which brings the total of employees close to 50 now.

15 minute time frame is a very long time to speak, let alone perform. Oh well the more the merrier, I suppose........ NOT!

For some reason, this time, I feel I am being bombarded heavily by the enemy with irrational fears. Had not this much anxiety in the past before "my turn."

My spirit tells me Satan is quite upset and aware of my gaining strength daily in conquering irrational fears as I journey on. So, this time it is a bit of a fierce battle within my mind, because he knows he is loosing.

So, I am believing Jesus has already won the battle. End of story!

God will prevail regardless tomorrow and will get all the glory!

May God's peace be bestowed upon you this very day as you share his truth. God Bless

Paula said...

Dear One, I am thinking of you. Big warm hug.

Mary said...

Thanks for visiting my blog. Learning to be who God says we already are - that is our journey.
Learning to live out of that truth - our true selves. Learning to shed the false, all our old ways of reliance on ourselves. Our enemy does not like that, does not want us free.

Blessings

Peter Stone said...

Hey JBR, so glad to hear it went well. Your prayer, in seeking to glorify God so that it was 'His time' was awesome. And yep, Jesus has already won, and the enemy knows that. Yet he keeps trying to trick us into thinking otherwise.
God bless you heaps :)

HeartfeltHeartLook said...

God is good always!!!

Dee Dee said...

God's glory will shine in any situation that he choses to bless. Sounds like all went well!

Praise the Lord!

Man, His Grace is sufficient. Usually on Friday's there are less employees. But, for some reason, the Lord does not let me 'cut' a break here. In fact we had basically everyone here, plus two guests that worked in the missionary fields with the 700 Club/Pat Robertson.

Anyway, the peace of the Holy Spirit was in this place, well at least on me. I felt right at peace, especially during The Air I Breathe song. Amazing how one can be enveloped with the Spirit if we let Him in!

All last night and this morning my prayer was, just come in and dwell in 'my time' which will be 'His time." He did!
