-Joy Notes- “Trusting a Loving God”

/ / Leave a comment

JOY NOTES2God wants to lift our burdens, but he can’t as long as we’re tightly grasping them.

Have you ever noticed how some people derive their identity from their burdens?

In worship, we’re caught up in the immensity of God. It’s easier to stop grasping for control and to start trusting a loving God who has a bigger plan for us than we can imagine.

Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you!

Joy Notes3

Bible meditation fills the mind with God through concentration on his Word.

Psalm 1 begins with a promise of blessing for anyone who meditates on the Scriptures. In Jesus, the Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us.

All true worship focuses on the exalted Lord Jesus, whom God the Father raised from the dead and placed upon heaven’s throne.
______________________________________________ “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.” ~~~(Psalm 1:1-2)~~~

~Joy Notes~ “Faith Adventure – Worship”

/ / Leave a comment

DOVE in GREENWorshiping God in spirit and truth
allows us to see him and what he is
doing.

When we make adjustments to be a part of his plan, he takes
care of our life’s itinerary and accommodations.

His plan for us, however, might not be the easiest
because it’s full of challenges and adventures.

Life with God is never boring when we trade the certainty of our small life for the uncertainty of a faith-adventure.

Worship allows us to walk in communion with a loving God who knows how to take us beyond our frailties and fears.

The wonder of worship is that it “enables us to emerge from the straight jacket of our oversensitive preoccupation with our ‘feelings,’ We rise into the presence of God through a contemplation of Him in His goodness, beauty, and truth, and especially His redeeming acts.

THE JOY OF GREAT EXPECTATIONS ♥
Psalm 23:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
IN JESUS NAME, EXPECT the best by faith!
Expect blessings! Expect healing! Expect the Lord’s love! Expect His help the one Who made heaven and earth! Expect wisdom and understanding from His Word! Expect the Presence of the Holy Spirit and power with all His gifts and sweet fruit of love, joy, and peace! Expect the answer to your prayers! Expect His perfect will for you, His good plans for your life! Expect the King of Kings to look upon you as His very own prince or princess, son or daughter! You are a child of the King! Expect abundant life and grace for every occasion! Expect the LORD’S goodness in the land where you live your life with Him!
Say to Him, ” My soul waits silently for You alone My God, for all my expectations, my strong hope is from You! You only are my rock and my salvation, my glory, the rock of my strength, my refuge, my fortress, my deliverer,You are the One who lifts my head! Amen! ”
(Ps 62, Ps 18, Ps 3:3).

Quietly Drinking in His Holy Presence.

During your hardest trials when you’ve prayed every prayer you can think of a zillion times, when you’re all prayed out, and need to be all prayed up, you can find strength, faith, peace and rest in the Presence of the Holy Spirit of God.

I have found that when I have cried out to Jesus my Saviour constantly and persistently and need His strength and power, when I need to hear His personal Word to me; there is an easy and most uplifting answer to my need.  No need to strain in prayer and fight against doubt over my seemingly impossible situation.  All I need to do is relax in the Presence of Jesus Who reigns at the centre of God’s throne of grace and mercy!  I let my breath out letting go of everything with it. There is no need for me to say another word.  I keep my words and thoughts quiet and let myself be still before Him Who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

I soon notice and experience His all encompassing Presence! His peace and perfect love flows over spirit mind and body. He feeds me with the Bread of Life. He gives me drink from the Fountain of eternal life.  I am filled with joy in His Presence! The joy of the Lord is my strength! I am still and know my God!

JOY NOTES1*** For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. *** (2 Corinthians 4:15)-(KJV)-
———————————————————-
I have tons of things to be thankful to God and it goes endlessly because every single seconds that passed there were always blessings. I can’t even think of something that I can’t be thankful to God knowing that they are what we call “blessings in disguise”. It means they may be unpleasant at the moment but the end of it brings wonderful things for or in us.
———————————————————-
As I sat down right here typing these words, I can’t help but feel in awe on how great our God is that He richly blessed us even if we don’t feel we deserved it. Thanks to the GRACE of God.”
———————————————————-
*** All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. *** (2 Corinthians 4:15) -(NIV)-

TREE - Nearly DeadTrees have to be the strongest of all living things. Even close to death they are able to stand. At the very most top of a tree is one leaf and one branch lifting, forever straining, reaching to towards Heaven. It is the source of their strength and the root of their power to withstand every fall. †Only one Side to this Coin,”In God We Trust”†                         __________________

YOU ARE CHRIST’S OUTREACH! HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET!

~♥~ Lord Jesus Christ, Loving Saviour, when I touch You with humility and love, I can touch others with Your love and be Your hands and feet. I am a living human being that is Your outreach. May my words and my deeds give you Honor and Glory as they let others feel Your touch. In Jesus Holy Name. Amen.

Heb 6:10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

~Joy Notes~ “Hold on to JESUS”

/ / 2 Comments

 

HOLD ON TO CHRISTWhen we hold on to JESUS it makes your load easier to bear, He’s your place of strong hold, your strength. He’ll carry you through. No one will help you the way He will!  We need to develop a habit of running to Jesus instead of people when we have trouble. We should seek Him rather than consulting our own wisdom or asking others opinions! Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.

HOLD ON TO JESUS

~Joy Notes~ “Allowing God to Lead”

LET GOD LEAD2I have come to the point that I just want to take what I can from the Bible as God reveals it to me  and just be the best servant to Him as I can. I am blessed coming in and shall be blessed going out. Allowing God to lead me in ALL things .. no matter how small or how large they may be GOD is Always In Control.

The sooner we realize that … The better off we ALL Shall BE!

I am and you are Wonderfully Made, Even if someone has wronged you or me and it looks like they have the upper hand, even if it looks like things are never going to change, we need to keep reminding ourselves, We have an advantage. God is in control of our destiny. He’s fighting our battles for us.

He is our vindicator, and it’s just a matter of time before things change in our favor.

LET GOD LEAD1
