Good Morning Yahweh. Thank you for a new day and a new week. Thank you for your love for me.
Singing
Just for me. Just for me. Jesus came and did it for me.
Thank you for all that you’ve done for me. And even though you didn’t do it only for me, you would have. I am grateful for that. I think (just a thought) that if you had come when we expected you to – Adam and Eve really, most would not have understood what you were saving us from. We would not have seen the rampages of sin and realised that we needed a Saviour. Thank you for saving us, in your time and not ours.
Thank you for your mercy – all the time. Thank you for your amazing love. Thank you for who you are. Yahweh, today is your day. I pray that all that I do would be honourable to you. That my faith in you would grow and not grow weary. Because your time is perfect. Thank you for the promise that you will always be with us. As we go through today, help us to accomplish what you desire. Thank you Yahweh. I love you. Amen.
I don’t have to be afraid that there is only heartbreak ahead in my life. I don’t have to worry that all my days will be dark.
I don’t have to fear the future because:
Jeremiah 29:11 – I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope.
–
Genesis 12:2 – I will make you a great nation, I will bless you. I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
Fear is Not My Future – Todd Galberth
Why will I keep reminding myself? Because the today does not look like the plans Yahweh said he has. Because in the today, life can seem long and dreary. And often times it may not even be a “bad” day, but routine can kill the spirit. I will lift my eyes to you Yahweh. I will trust you in all things. I will honour you in all things because you are my God. You are my king. You are my father and my friend. Thank you for who you are. Thank you for your grace and your love.
Fear is truly not our future. This morning I spoke, you spoke about having fear, or rather, not having fear. At the retreat devotion, the discussion is about having fear. It is about not allowing fear to overcome our faith.
Random thought: the guys at this retreat are tall. Every guy is six feet or above. The women? Most are five five or less. Only one is about five ten. Made me feel short.
