Memory Verse: Bring me joy this day within all circumstances.

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

Well ABBA, It’s a hot one for June.  I won’t be out on the porch until this evening. I’m sipping a Luzianne Decafe Iced tea… filled to the brim with ice, lemon slices, and a few drops of Stevia, that’s my Cup of Fancy. Still, it’s my precious time with You. No matter wherever I am, or whatever the forecast ….. I am never alone…..You are with me.

My very wise Granny filled me with her wisdoms.  “God gave you this day for a special reason. Make the most of it.”   

MMMM??? “Carpe Diem.” “Seize the day.” Horace the great philosopher taught us that we must make the most of the present.  Do everything you can to make this day beneficial; loving, forgiving, and touching the lives of others. Forget and forgive the past, and look to a bright future.

Being one who was a “Worrier,” growing up, it’s easy to beat myself up over past sins and lost time.  However, my Great God in His mighty power and graciousness, opened an entire new way of thinking. He spoke to me,”I’ve Got This! Surrender to me and I will take care of everything.”  “Pray, lay your requests at my feet….then in MY TIME, the answer will come.” “Seize the Kingdom of God.”  

”Dig for that TREASURE!”

“WHAT’S THE TREASURE?” You ask.

All of the promises, glory, power, and might, that come through a Relationship with Jesus Christ is a treasure, more precious than silver and gold.

When I think back upon my 73 years, I ask myself,”How did I ever get through that mess?” Then You whisper to me, Holy Spirit.” It was, I who carried you through.”  “It was I, who gave you the strength, wisdom, and knowledge to climb the ladder of education.”  “It was I who placed you in the right place, at the right time, to receive my command  (Habakkuk Ch 1 and 2) to write down My Revelations.” “You obeyed my command to seek Me as did the woman with the issue of blood.”  “THEN I FOUND YOU!”

Get you and your families involved with Christian friends, home groups, Bible Studies, church communities, and the Joy of the Lord will fill your heart.

Yes, this world is filled with trouble; however, Jesus has overcome the world.

ABBA, thank You for teaching me to seize the Kingdom of God and live in expectation

Father, Thank You, for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: Matt: 13:44-45 The Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.  When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

This is what’s it’s like to belong to me and The Kingdom of God.  Ignore all of the mess that is going on presently in America and around the world. Trust ME YOU ARE MY TREASURE.  Persevere, and remember……You are resurrected/raptured….Jesus returns….WE ALL WIN.!

I LOVE YOU!

Your,

Abba, Father

Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Phil 3:13-14 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have them taken hold of it.  But one thing I do; forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 3:13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sins and deceitfulness.
