Read I appreciate the anticipation of new things in my life

While I appreciate everything God has provided and entrusted to me, and while I know the power of testimony to invite God to do it again, I don’t revel only in the past. I don’t spend all my time recounting the victories of days gone by or the “glory days”. I look to see what God will say and see He is preparing something new; it’s happening now, even as I as listen to Him speak, and I know I am about to see it. He is preparing a way through the desert; and creating rivers in the dry wasteland. I appreciate the anticipation of new things in my life.

He is making all things new. Each morning, His mercies are made fresh. Because I belong to Christ, I am a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

I expect my good Father to work all things together for good and I trust Him to take care of all things that I need. I will ask and keep asking, knock and keep knocking, seek and keep seeking to develop who I am becoming. He will finish the good work He’s started in me.

I never doubt God’s mighty power to work in me and accomplish His will. He will achieve infinitely more than my greatest request, my most unbelievable dream, and exceed my wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes me.

The best is yet to come! No eye has ever seen, and no ear has ever heard and it has never occurred to the human heart all the things God prepared for those who love Him. One day I will be like Him, for I will see Him as He is, but eternity started the moment He rescued Me out of darkness into His wonderful light.

Today I raise my anticipation of good things from my good father. I am thankful for what I have and I appreciate the anticipation of new things in my life.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

Who are the people should show appreciation for today?
What special things in my life do I feel thankful for?
Do I focus more on what I have instead of what others have?

Songbirds always start the day with a song

Songbirds always start the day with a song, reminding us to cherish every moment and embrace life's beauty with gratitude and positivity.

Read Songbirds always start the day with a song

No matter what yesterday felt like, birds always start the new day with a song. I choose to do the same with gratitude, regardless of what this day may hold, regardless of what yesterday was like. God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, His merciful love couldn’t have dried up. Both are recreated new every morning, fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise, so great is His faithfulness!

Before I check what is waiting for me, I give God thanks for this day and for being with me in it. I feel the gratitude of being alive and living every day of my life and I feel grateful for being known by my Creator who cares for me. I worry about nothing, pray about everything and thank God in all things because this is His will for me in Christ Jesus.

I don’t see myself as capable enough to do anything in my own strength, because the most alive version of me flows from God’s empowering presence. He empowers me to accomplish every good work prompted by faith. He equips me to be a capable servant of His new plan of action. I am not my own; I am bought with a price. I belong to God. Gratitude wells up inside me for this life, for I have the grace I need for today.

By the grace of God, I am who I am, and I have made sure that the grace He offered me has not been wasted. I work hard - whatever I do; I do as unto the Lord and work at it with all my heart - but it’s the grace of God that is doing the work in and through me.

He directs my steps, and He strengthens my arm. He helps me rise on wings as an eagle, or run and not grow weary, or walk and not faint. Whether I can fly, or run, or walk today, I will celebrate life’s marathon race with passion and determination. I let go of every wound that has pierced me and the sin I so easily fall into. I confess what He wants me to agree with and repent and turn away from everything thing and every thought that mis-aligns me with His presence. He is always with me.

Today, I will be with Him. No matter what season I may be in, no matter if I feel yesterday was overwhelming or a waste, today I sing like the birds. Birds always start the day with a new song, I will always start the day with thanksgiving.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

What are three other aspects of my life that I feel grateful for?
How can I express gratitude for being alive?
How can I show I trust God with today?

I thank God for the path He has me on

"I thank God for the path He has me on" reflects gratitude for divine guidance, encouraging faith and trust in life's journey and the lessons learned along the way.

I thank God for the path He has me on

“O Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.” - Psalm 95:1-3 (GW)

Read I thank God for the path He has me on

This path I am on may not always be easy. Each day has enough trouble of its own. But I know I cannot give God credit for the works of the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I know I need to choose to consider all hardship as discipline, knowing He is good and will work all things together for good. I choose to worry about nothing, pray about everything and thank God in all things because He cares for me and this is His will for me in Christ Jesus.

Jesus is the light of the world. As I follow Him, I do not have to walk in darkness, because I have the light that leads to life. His word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. The Lord my God teaches me what is good for me and leads me along the paths I should follow.

When I need wisdom, I ask my generous God, and He gives the wisdom I need. He does not rebuke me for asking. The Lord grants wisdom! From His mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest and is a shield to those who walk with integrity. He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to Him. From Him I understand what is right, just, and fair, and I find the right way to go.

I know what it is like to live and I know what it is like to feel alive. Yes, I will endure to the end, but I choose to live every day of my life. I can when I trust in the Lord with all my heart and not lean on what I can only understand. Seek His will in all I do. He shows me which path to take. He goes before me and beside me and inside me. He was and is and is to come. What surprises me, never catches Him off guard. I can trust Him because He is so trustable, and He is so very good.

I thank God for the path He has me on. Even though I may not see the whole path, He shows me the next step when I am still enough to listen. I follow the path of peace.

Today, I thank God for His leading, protection, empowerment, trust, and trustability.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

Do I feel like I can thank You for this path I’m on?
Have I acted on the wisdom You’ve given me?
Do I trust You enough to take the next step?

Another day in this world is truly a gift

Another day in this world is truly a gift, reminding us to cherish every moment and embrace life's beauty with gratitude and positivity.

Read Another day in this world is truly a gift

Today is a precious gift for which I am grateful. I have been given another day in this world to both receive blessings and be a blessing to others. It is an opportunity for me to witness the transformation of those whom Jesus died for as they enter the kingdom of light. I can witness their healing, cleansing, deliverance, and even their resurrection. The power of the kingdom has been freely given to me, so I freely share it with others.

I can only do these things in this world; they are not possible in the next. Therefore, another day in this world is truly a gift. This world is not my permanent home; I am merely passing through. My true citizenship is in heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ reigns on the throne. I eagerly await His return as my Saviour. On that day, He will transform my humble body and make it identical to His glorified body, using His incomparable power that brings everything under His control.

For now, I am here in this world, while He never leaves or forsakes me. My purpose is to refresh and bless others and to make a positive difference in this world. I love God and love people so that they can love God and love people. Today, I may be the answer to someone’s prayer and I may be the only representation of Jesus that some may ever see. I seek the peace and prosperity of the everyday world where God has intentionally placed me.

When doubts arise and I feel unworthy of God’s love, I remember that His love surpasses all doubts. I silence the condemning voices and instead listen to the reassuring voice of God’s love. He has chosen me to be a part of His family. I have been adopted into God’s family and am now His child. Although I may not fully understand my destiny, I know that when Jesus appears, I will be transformed to be like Him because I will see Him as He truly is.

As I eagerly anticipate His return, I strive to keep myself pure, just as He is pure, with the help of the Holy Spirit. I start each day with anticipation of what lies ahead, knowing that God has prepared tasks for me to accomplish. Life is unpredictable, which makes it more interesting. I choose to always be curious.

Another day in this world is another reason to rejoice! I recognize that life is short, forever is real, and loving right matters the most. Therefore, I am determined to make the most of each day. God empowers me to do every good work that faith prompts me to do. I choose not to worry about anything but pray about everything and give thanks to God in all circumstances. The prospect of living in this present moment fills me with excitement because God has prepared me for it!

Today, I eagerly look forward to another day blessed by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit. I use my time wisely and embrace intentional living. Another day in this world is truly a gift.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

What have You taught me in the challenging times in my life?
When have I felt hopeless in the past? How did You encourage me?
What surprises do You have for me today?

Read Happiness happens when I feel gratitude

Happiness is a by-product rather than my goal. My desire is to become more and more like Jesus. He teaches me about His love and how I can bear lasting fruit, which brings Him joy and fills me with complete joy. The Father set apart the Son with joy, and Jesus Himself is filled with ecstatic joy by the Holy Spirit. It is my aspiration to emulate Him.

By remaining in Him and allowing His words to remain in me, I have the privilege of asking for whatever I desire, and it will be granted to me! The Father already knows all my needs, so I can confidently trust Him and not worry about what I eat or wear. Just as God wonderfully cares for wildflowers, which are here today and gone tomorrow, He will certainly care for me.

Happiness is cultivated when I choose to wholeheartedly express gratitude. That means I actively choose to be thankful and feel a deep sense of gratitude. I show appreciation and bless others with the blessings I have received. I express gratitude with my entire being - in my decisions, emotions, and actions. This leads to happiness.

I am grateful for every opportunity, and I release any worries about perfection. Every situation presents both challenges and rewards, but it is through these challenges that I experience growth. Everything God created is good and nothing is to be rejected when it’s received with thanksgiving. I purposefully seek to discern what God is doing in every circumstance. So I align myself with His peace and find joy, even when faced with problems. I trust God is working all things together for the good and will provide the right words and attitude for every situation.

I recognize obstacles are an integral part of life’s journey. Facing them head-on strengthens me, knowing that God has led me to them or will help me navigate through them. I welcome challenges and opportunities to become more like Jesus and consider it a pure joy when I encounter various trials, knowing God will complete the good work He began in me. I treat hardships as discipline and know that God is a good Father who will use it for the good and restore what the locusts have eaten.

By releasing expectations of ease or perfection, I open my eyes to see God’s hand at work in every situation. I understand that happiness is found in the expression of gratitude. So I choose to be grateful today.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

Am I waiting for perfection in order to be happy?
Do I view challenges as obstacles or opportunities?
How have I seen God working all things together for good?

“Those who worship the Lord on a special day do it to honor him. Those who eat any kind of food do so to honor the Lord since they give thanks to God before eating. And those who refuse to eat certain foods also want to please the Lord and give thanks to God.” Romans 14:6 (GW)

Read I am grateful for the blessings of God that I experience daily

I am so grateful for all the blessings I have in my life. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him. He supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory. He shines His face upon me and is gracious to me and He shows me His favour and gives me His peace. I am grateful for the abundance of blessings He provides.

I have learned how to be content with whatever I have and I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Each day I count my blessings. God generously provides all I need. I have everything I need and plenty left over to share with others.

God is working in me, giving me the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. He can do anything, far more than I can ever imagine or guess or request in my wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing me around but by working within me, His Spirit deeply and gently within me.

Thank you for the great friends and family who believe in me. I use what God blesses me with to bless others, and I am rich in good works and generous to those in need. I am always ready to share with others as I know I am storing up my treasure as a good foundation for the future so that I may experience true life.

The LORD is my shepherd. I lack nothing. There is no point in tirelessly toiling from dawn to dusk, anxiously striving for sustenance; because God grants rest to those He loves. I trust Him to meet all my needs and make it my ambition to lead a quiet life: to mind my own business and to work with my hands. He’s the one who gives me the power to create wealth. I cannot be proud and I cannot trust in money, which is so unreliable. I trust in God, who richly gives me all I need for my enjoyment.

Today, I give thanks for all that I have. I give thanks to the One who has entrusted me with it. I am grateful for the blessings of God that I experience daily.

Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:

What blessings do I have in my life that fills me with feelings of gratitude?
How can I be more open to being content in every situation?
Do I feel like I trust the Father to meet all my needs today?
