Not befriended with the world,

Nor respond to ungodly troubles,

But be eager to listen to voice above,

So I may follow His perfect, good and pleasing will.

O, God, teach me to die to the world,

And live up to your honor, glory and righteousness.

May my faith channel my weakness to Your strength of abundance.

May my eyes see through the prism of Your compassion of love and power in reign.

All I have are given from above,

I shall take root in Your heavenly truth,

Stretch my leaves into the earthly space,

Shadow the heat of lies,

And give comfort like food to the hungry mind.

(Romans 12:2)

I remember His love,

In all the tears of struggle,

Warms my heart like the heater in winter.

I recall His voice,

In unexpected time,

Encourages my soul like water in the desert.

I meditate His word,

In sleepless nights of helplessness,

Inspires me like light shining into the dark.

I remember His miracles in His mighty deeds,

Empowers me to keep going like a breeze in the scorching heat.

God leads me by the hand of Jesus Christ.

God speaks to me by the word of the Son of man.

(Psalm 77)

“Listening means responding to what you hear.”

May God give me listening ears,

With a teachable heart so that I listen to His commands,

And obey through following them, practicing on them.

His promises shall come with His peace into my life.

No matter how correct the opinions from me or others sound like,

I choose to live in untroubled peace,

Through listening to God’s voice only.

(Proverbs 1:33)

Cast all your burden to God,

For He cares for you.

You can’t bear the burden of anxiety

To add your life longer

Nor are you required to bear the burden to be godly

However, you are commanded with His promise,

To let Him bear your burden

So you may receive His blessing

To be free to live in abundance of grace,

And display His love and wisdom

Be at peace in chaos

Be joyful ins suffering

Be victorious in troubles

By the power of the Holy Spirit.

***

It’s in our weakness where God meets us.

He display His power most clearly.

When I am confronted with my own weakness,

So I may experience His power.

God is not waiting for you to be strong to come to Him,

God is waiting for you to recognize that you are weak to cast off your burden to Him.

If I am anxious in controlling my life,

I haven’t really recognized my helplessness.

***

The moment you feel burdened by things,

That is the assignment God give you to pray.

And the reward is waiting for you,

To see His glory in His answer.

(1 Peter 5:7)

Think more about others with God’s love,

Less about what I should say.

Then I regain motivation to go online for the small group.

The result is I hear God’s word through prayer.

May God give Carrie integrity of heart to lead.

May God empower Janell to be responsible as a leader without need to know everything.

May God assure Cristy His delight in her who has freedom to make a godly decision.

Thank God for old Phyllis to be loved and taken care of by family and neighbors.

The tongue of messenger sent by the Holy Spirit is a blessing.

The small part in the body,

But plays an important role for blessing.

So don’t agree with those lies of despising,

But abiding in God’s love to preach.

Being content is not idling without pursuing novelty.

Being content brings forth wisdom of God’s peace to nurture your soul to be creative.

On the contrary,

Being fretting and coveting causes losing foothold in appreciating God

And apt to slip into death of sins.

May God create a pure heart in me.

He is my portion, the strength of my heart, all I need.

 

He encourages me through today’s devotion:

God’s commands always relate to His promises.

His command does not end with leaving behind,

But to possess and embrace what lies ahead.

“Let go of your hand so that your hand will be ready to grasp what I am about to give you.”

He is holding my right hand,

He guides me with His counsel.

May I not dwell on what I might be called to leave behind,

But fix my heart on what I will receive into my life.

(Psalm 73:3, 17)
