Has God Found A Resting Place In You?

David! Nothing else needs to be said about him. He was all out for God; crazy for God & hungry for His presence. This hunger was insatiable. The more he lingered in God's presence, the more he wanted to remain there. 

When he had to find a resting place for the ark, he just was so restless! He wouldn't rest till he didn't find God's ark a place to be kept safely. 

Wherever God's presence is, there is His divine provision & protection; this David was well aware of. There is nothing you can lack if you are with your provider. 

“I absolutely will not enter my house, Nor get into my bed-- I certainly will not permit my eyes to sleep Nor my eyelids to slumber, Until I find a place for the Lord , A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob (Israel).” “This is My resting place forever” [says the Lord ]; “Here will I dwell, for I have desired it. “I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. “Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will shout aloud for joy. “There I will make the horn (strength) of David grow; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed [fulfilling the promises]. “His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself shall his crown shine.”

PSALMS 132:3‭-‬5‭, ‬14‭-‬18 AMP

Today, our body is God's Holy Temple. He resides in our hearts. But, has God really found a resting place in your heart? 

Have a blessed day! 

Calm in the Chaos?

The best comforting feeling is a child resting in the arms of its mother. That is the most secured feeling a child can ever have! 

We panic at times when things don't go the way they're supposed to, when we have plans and desires ruined by someone else, when people don't treat us well and the list can go on. What do we do in times such as these? The Psalmist says:

Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child [resting] with his mother, My soul is like a weaned child within me [composed and freed from discontent].

PSALMS 131:2 AMP

Today, in every situation of yours, will you choose to rest in the arms of God like a weaned child, comforted and secured? 

Have a blessed day! 

Keys To Be Fruitful

We all look at being fruitful at our work places and personal life. Ever thought of being fruitful together, as a family? 

For you shall eat the fruit of [the labor of] your hands, You will be happy and blessed and it will be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine Within the innermost part of your house; Your children will be like olive plants Around your table.

PSALMS 128:2‭-‬3 AMP

It says:

1. You will be happy, blessed, prosperous & healthy

2. Your wife will be fruitful at the core of your house in every area (being able to comfort, provide a helping hand, strengthening values, etc) 

3. Your kids will add to your inheritance. They will not only enjoy what you are able to provide, but they will also produce (joy, simplicity, humility & a child like heart in you which is pleasing to God) 

How do you become fruitful as a family? 

Psalm 128 gives you the simple keys for the same:

1. Stay connected with the Lord (as a family) 

2. Worship the Lord together 

3. Finally, live a life aligned with the Word of God. 

Remember that, a family that prays together, worships together and communes with the Lord together, will always remain one strong unit the emy can't break. 

Have a blessed day!
