Sharing the Truth in Love Devotional (words from the Lord series)

by Marijo Phelps⁽¹⁹⁹⁾ Red Star

Child, lift up your eyes to Me and your hopes. I will fulfill you, in my plans for your walk with Me. Strain not, but rely on Me. I AM the answer to your every query.

Lean not unto your own understanding. I impart to you wisdom for every occasion. Receive it in Jesus’ name. Let not your imagination run away with you. Your sisters will be healed in time to be My instruments.

Obey. Speak forth at the appointed time – My Spirit will lead you. Rejoice knowing I carry the burden – your part is obedience to my Word. Liberty is at hand through Christ Jesus. You will KNOW my timing, be patient for a short season and I will mellow your tongue to speak forth in love and clarity.

Bear this burden together with the sister I have given to you. My timing is perfect – My hour is soon. Be ready to be bountifully blessed.

Psalm 121:1-8 (NIV)

I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going

both now and forevermore.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Psalm 51:6 (NIV)

Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV)

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect…..

Galatians 5:13 (NIV)

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.

Galatians 6:9 (NIV)

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

James 1:12 (NIV)

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Prayer: Oh, Lord God, you have given us a treasure chest full of the tools of your Word. You teach us by your example how to use them. Those promises are so rich and full AND they are ours for the asking. What priceless jewels we have from You. Please help us to use them wisely and often we pray. In Jesus most incredible name, AMEN

Thank You! I think the Lord gave me several more ideas for pieces this AM in church - the Holy Spirit was highlighting things because pastor's thoughts and what the Lord had been teaching me these past few days totally lined up! Marijo
