The Daily Covering: Stop Trying To Impress God & Keep It Real

I heard this statement by Joyce Meyer and it is dead on. “Stop trying to impress God & keep it real.” Our Father is All Seeing & All Knowing. He is never surprised by your behavior. As any father with his child, he knows you just as you are and it is his responsibility to correct your behavior, and guide you along your walk. If your issue is anger, seek out what His word states about anger…the passages about prosperity are not going to help your anger issue. If your problem is fear…go to the Word and meditate on what it states about fear. The best analogy I heard about this was: “We as Christians are like an apple tree wanting to grow an orange”. God is the potter, he has planted his trees (us) into the ground. Provided the ground with minerals (His Word) & the sky with sun (His Light) and rain (Our Trials) that we have all we need to grow strong roots and produce heavenly fruit. So never stop looking up to the sky (God) enjoy the sun, take in the rain to make you stronger and may the minerals you absorb bring you continual growth that you and the fruit you bear stand out in the forest.

Scripture of the Day: II Corinthians 3:16-18

¹⁶But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. ¹⁷Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. ¹⁸And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect^[a] the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Prayer for the Day:
Father I am a magnificent creation and praise you for all that you have instilled in me, I know that my composition is of your image, a reflection of you. My God, I am humbled that you thought so much of me, Me, a tiny morsel barely visible yet to you I am a mountain. Keep my heart, mind and soul open to receive all that you bring. I am your clay, mold me as you see fit, in Jesus' Name, Amen

Thought for the day:
“Call it “womb awe”…but it’s not simple envy. I don’t remember even wanting to be a woman. But each of the three times I have been present at the birth of one of my children, I have been overwhelmed by a sense of reverence… I t was quite suddenly, the first day of creation; the woman giving birth to a world…Like men since the beginning of time I wondered: What can I ever create that will equal the magnificence of this new life?” . –Sam Keen “
