Great is YOUR Word & Greatly to Be Praised

Today's Scripture Passage: Romans 1:16-17 16I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith.". ...................................................................................................... Today’s Scripture Message: I had to share the breakdown of the scripture Romans 1:15-17 because it is so powerful. In order to properly do that I had to give you the “text book” definitions of key words in this passage & then replace the words with their definitions so you fully feel this passage. ................................................................................................. Definitions: Ashamed: Restrained by the anticipation of a condition of humiliating disgrace or disrepute. Power: The ability to act or produce an effect Salvation: The realization of the supremacy of infinite mind over all; liberation from ignorance or illusion; preservation from destruction or failure; deliverance from danger or difficulty. Belief: Conviction of the truth of some statement, or the reality of some being or phenomenon. Righteousness: Acting in accord with divine or moral law Faith: Firm belief in something for which there is no proof; complete trust. ...................................................................................................... Paraphrased: "I am not restrained by the anticipation of a condition of humiliating disgrace of the gospel, because it is the ability to act or produce an effect of God for the realization of the supremacy of infinite mind over all; liberation of ignorance or illusion; preservation from destruction or failure; deliverance from danger or difficulty of EVERYONE who has the conviction of the truth of HIS statement or the reality of His being or His phenomenon: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel and acting in accord with divine or moral law from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by firm belief in something for which there is no proof; COMPLETE TRUST from first to last, JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN: (Come ON!!!) “The righteous will live by faith”. Know your word, get a complete understanding of it, emulate & believe it & IT IS DONE!!!. .................................................................................................... Prayer for the Day: Father, may your word keep moving through me like a rapid fire that cannot be extinguished. I will seek you for your guidance in all that I do and say, thank you for directing my path, in Jesus' Name, Amen. ....................................................................................................... Thought for the Day: “We live in a time of such rapid change and growth of knowledge that only a person who continues to learn and inquire can hope to keep pace. –Nathan M. Pusey. .......................................................................................................... Goal for the Day: If you have questions, you are not sure, allow nothing to keep you from the answer. .....................................................................................................

Who Resides In You

Today's Scripture Passage: Isaiah 55:10-11 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.. ................................................................................................. Today’s Scripture Message: We are all human (mind, body & spirit) & as brothers & sisters in Christ (faithful). The Word of God is the Spirit of God and his intention for each of our lives. We all are spiritually inhabited. What is the state of the spirit that dwells within you? I reiterate, God will not go where he is not invited. For him to take residence in your life, in your community, in your environment he must be welcomed into it. Just as an invited friend coming to stay with you for a while, you get to know his/her likes & dislikes so their stay will be comfortable and accommodating…same with our Lord, to know him is to know His Word. To love Him is to have faith in His Word. To honor him is to emulate his Word and share it with others. LET HIM IN!!! Be that vessel; that spiritual representation of our Father that walks in your community. He will show up & show OUT!!! LET HIM IN, let him in. The confessions of your faith in His Word will cover your life, your family, your community, your city, your state, your world; KNOW IT IS SO and that His spoken word will not return to you void. Invite him to reside in you. .......................................................................................................... Prayer for the Day: Father I thank you and praise you for the knowledge of your Word and ever unfailing presence in my life. I let you in and you have not failed me. Thank you for the lessons you have shown me and the victory in each of them. I am stronger, faithful and humbled by your presence in my life, me…who am I that I deserved all that you are. My God, I lift you up and give you all of the praise and glory. I know I am nothing without you and everything with you, in Jesus' Name, Amen. .......................................................................................................... Thought for the Day: “The proper function of man is to live-not to exist. –Jack London. ...................................................................................................... Goal for the Day: Open your Mind (knowledge), Body (vessel) & Soul (spirit) to the endless possibilities of the promises of God.. .......................................................................................................

Wisdom, Knowledge & Understanding

Today's Scripture Passage: Proverbs 22:17-21 17Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach, 18For it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips. 19So that your trust may be in the LORD, I teach you today, even you. 20Have I not written thirty sayings for you, sayings of counsel and knowledge, 21teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth, so that you bring back truthful reports to those you serve?. ...................................................................................................... Today’s Scripture Message: The best gift given is one that costs nothing, except the lesson it presented, and is then passed on. How do we ensure the foundation of our legacy? By sharing the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of our living in reflection of the Word of God to those who precede us that their foundations be strong and they grow to build bigger and better things on the strength of the foundation provided them. Not until I was an adult did I understand the beauty of the values of what I was taught by my parents and grandparents. That, though it was passed along without explanation, as I grew older, I found more and more biblical principal wrapped firmly around all I was told and taught. Though our childhoods are not at all perfect, but perfectly purposed to shape our adult existence, it is the lesson of our living that allows us insight into who we are, granting us the wisdom, knowledge & understanding to pass along to our children and others. I watch now as my children, attend church and Sunday school with me and smile remembering the days we’d go as kids and the brunch/breakfast that followed and many times, though many of my immediate family have since passed on, as I sit in the pews of the church, feel them sitting with me in my Father’s house and smile as I think…I have not & will never forget you and the love you provided. That it is permeating through my home, through my kids and will live on in theirs. Though they were too young to remember you themselves, they will remember you through me and love you as much as I do, such is my Father and Savior. ........................................................................................................... Prayer for the Day: Father, I thank you for the guidance of your word, the foundation I stand firmly on, and the knowledge to continue your legacy in my family that you live on in us. I have not & will never forget you, your sacrifice for me and the love you provide. May everyday be in praise of you, in Jesus' Name, Amen. ................................................................................................... Thought for the Day: “The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.” – Benjamin Disraeli. ..................................................................................................... Goal for the Day: Don’t forget the knowledge & understanding of the lessons of your life and pass along those pearls of wisdom. .......................................................................................................

Humility Provides a Teachable Spirit

Today's Scripture Passage: Deuteronomy 8:2-3 20 And you shall remember the whole way that the LORD your God has let you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you , testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. ........................................................................................................... Today’s Scripture Message: Have you ever received a message in several different ways from several different sources (one not associated with the other). If you have then you can appreciate my excitement and joy of the reaffirming nature of Our Father when I share this with you… This past Sunday, our Pastor asked our Church (St. Michael’s), to read and reflect on the word of God Daily; where it alone spoke to my heart as I recently continued writing each weekday in The Daily Covering. Now, as I ran around today to “put out fires” and cover bases, with our program and many other things, I was racing back to write today’s message (which was something completely different by the way) when Nancy Leigh DeMoss of Revive Our Hearts, came on the Moody Broadcast and told a story about dehydration and the body’s need for water. Her point was a Christian Body that is spiritually dehydrated, without taking the time to nourish the spirit with the water of the Word of God daily. This reaffirmed my reason for wanting to share the Word of God through The Daily Covering for the last four years, Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them” and the vision of my heart to share the presence of our Lord with everyone who’s eyes meet his word as we pray together all over the world. How humbling knowing as we pray and focus on His Word, there he is with us blanketing our world with his love, grace and blessings. Needless to say, I happily accept the change in today’s message and share it with you. Humble and open your hearts, and quench the thirst of your spirit with the soothing water that is His Word and then share it with as many others as you can. ........................................................................................................... Prayer for the day: Father, thank you for the gifts you have given each one of us, the sacrifice of our Savior, the grace and mercy which makes way to our ability to offer the very gifts you gave us to help others. Remind us that each breath we take is life, not only ours, our purpose & usefulness, but for the benefit of the work of your kingdom. May we continue to study, live and share the Good News of our Savior, Jesus Christ, in His Magnificent Name, Amen. ...................................................................................................... Thought for the Day: “I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I won, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps”. –Mahatma Gandhi. ......................................................................................................... Goal for the Day: Take what YOU have to offer, a kind word, one of your favorite recipes, that chair that you no longer use, but would help someone who needs a place to sit…Take what YOU have to offer and lift someone’s spirit. ...........................................................................................................

Dictate Your Circumstance & Act

Today's Scripture Passage: II Corinthians 1:20 20 for no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. ................................................................................................... Today’s Scripture Message: There is NO circumstance that you face that can not be handled, as God wills. God does not test you with evil, it is beneath Him, already defeated. His word states: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7” Not maybe it will…IT WILL, but he will not enter a place where He is not welcomed. Invite God in. Speak His word over your circumstance. My father does not lie!!! His Word IS his promises and his promise to us as believers in Christ IS (not maybe) IS Yeah & Amen. Come out of your LUKE WARM water and catch this fire!!! May it burn in you and allow NO Man to turn you from it!!! From this moment forward may the promises of God be NOW & ALWAYS ….TRUTH. ........................................................................................................ Prayer for the day: Our Father, who art in heaven, hollowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power, the glory are yours, now & forever, in Jesus' Name, Amen. .................................................................................................... Thought for the Day: “Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. Life would undergo a change of appearance because we ourselves had undergone a change in attitude. –Katherine Mansfield. .......................................................................................................... Goal for the Day: Ask, and know it is done. Act knowing it is done. ..................................................................................................

Decide

Today's Scripture Passage: I Corinthians 10:13 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. ........................................................................................................... Today’s Scripture Message: Everyone has the capacity for greatness or mediocrity, the temptation of good or bad, right or wrong and sometimes you are placed in a position when only you and your Father know the righteousness of your heart…it is your duty to prove others incorrect; or your responsibility to stand firmly on the righteousness of the truth and allow it to represent you? Protect your hearts from hate and vengeance as they do not belong to you. Instead, grab your ax and chop away at the truck of the tree of the deficiencies that allowed your placement in your circumstance ensuring the lesson of that experience will no longer be suffered by others. The past is a novel already on the shelf, but the future is still a blank page eagerly awaiting the next chapter. The author, you…the pen, held in your hand, how will you choose to write it? Who will you choose as your mentor?. ........................................................................................................... Prayer for the day: Father I thank & praise you. Help us to always see you in all that we do. Remind us to keep your word close to our hearts so recognition of what is not best for us is always obvious. Keep us safe and always seeking a greater understanding of your will for our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen. ..................................................................................................... Thought for the Day: “Not all of your decisions will be correct. None of us is perfect. But if you get into the habit of making decisions, experience will develop your judgment to a point where more and more of your decisions will be right. After all, it is better to be right 51 percent of the time and get something done, than it is to get nothing done because you fear to reach a decision.” – H.W. Andrews. ......................................................................................................... Goal for the Day: In the fire, if the door is blocked by flames…perish in the flames or break the window. .......................................................................................................

Don't See IT? Know IT.

Today's Scripture Passage: Psalm 37:3-6 “23Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your justice as the noonday". .......................................................................................................... Today’s Scripture Message: Your trials are the best means for the exercise of your faith. You can’t see an end to something in the mist of it, but know, in His Word, it is for your good & done in favor of you. Though you cannot see it at this moment, confess your outcome & know it is done. Take action towards your goal or the change you wish to see, follow up and keep moving towards it unwaveringly knowing your progression towards it is supported and will come to pass with faith & determination. ........................................................................................................... Prayer for the day: Father I praise you, my trust and faith is in you. You said take me at my word and I am. I will not deviate from your promises over my life and thank you for always keeping me close. I celebrate today a joyous victory in the perfection of your purpose for me, and I will keep moving forward, in Jesus Name, Amen. ........................................................................................................... Thought for the Day: “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams”. –Henry David Thoreau. ...........................................................................................................
