"DELAYED BUT NOT DENIED"

"DELAYED BUT NOT DENIED"

Scripture: Habakkuk 2:3-It is not yet time for the message to come true, but that time is coming soon; the message will come true. It may seem like a long time, but be patient and wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not be delayed. (New Century Version)

Meditation: There is always a determined time in the eyes of God, so my Friends we must wait for that set appointed time. While waiting we must know that God will deliver according to His perfect plan and purpose. Sometimes it takes a long time (in our eyes) to show His plans. This is called a test, God's testing reveals what we are really made of. When we realize that God is in control we will be able to rest well and not fret. We cannot rush our victory, or cut our growing pains. Things will happen when God says and not by our clock or calender.

IT IS NOT DENIED, JUST DELAYED!!!!!

God is love and without love we are empty. Q.D.Johnson www.devotionalsbyquasonya.blogspot.com

"MY SOUL IS ANCHORED IN THE LORD"

SCRIPTURE: Psalm 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with is hand.

Meditation: On a ship the anchor plays a very important part, for it holds the ship in place not allowing the ship to move. We are the ship Jesus is our Anchor and when trouble rise out on the water He promises to hold us in place. It is when you are anchored in the Lord that come what may you shall not be moved. One of my favorite songs is (My soul is anchored in the Lord), the song says "it keeps me steadfast and unmovable", that is our God. To be steadfast and unmovable you must have a solid relationship with God that includes fasting, praying and studying God's word daily.The scripture tells us that though we fall, we will not be down for the Lord will hold us up. That is encouraging to know and I encourage you today to allow Jesus to be your Anchor for He will hold you in place.

IS YOUR SOUL ANCHORED IN THE LORD OR ARE YOU MOVING ALL OVER THE PLACE?

Study scripture: Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

"CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY"

SCRIPTURE: Psalms 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You.



MEDITATION: Character-distinctive qualities of a person or thing.

Integrity-State of being entire; an unimpaired state; honesty; probity.

These two words run hand and hand for without integrity, you don't have much character. God allows certain things to happen in your life to build character. True character comes when a situation rises and how you deal with it states the amount of integrity you have. We all know the right things to do and the things we should not say. Why is it so hard to do right? It is because we allow our flesh to totally take over our spirit man. If you want to know what is in your heart, listen to your mouth. Character is made by what you stand for and it takes time to develop whether good or bad. Before you can ask integrity of others you must attempt to be blameless yourself. Today let us ask God to continue to work on our character, building us to be what He needs and want us to be. Rest on God's promises; stand behind yours.



LET US BE MINDFUL OF HOW WE TREAT AND SPEAK TO OTHERS, GOD IS LOVE AND HE IS MEEK AND MILD ARE YOU?



Study scriptures-James 1:19,20 So then, my beloved brethern, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.



Be blessed! Q.D.Johnson http://www.devotionalsbyquasonya.blogspot.com/

"YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK"

PSALM: 119-97 Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.

MEDITATION: We must learn to set our minds on Godly things. When we focus on God, it is God in the morning, God in the noon day and God all day long. When we allow our minds to be stayed on Jesus we can love in spite of and pray for those who use and abuse us. Meditating on Jesus and praying keeps your heart and thoughts pure. If you are yelling and saying mean things to your friends or family ask God to create in you a clean and pure heart. We all have not so good days where we are frustrated but let us learn to keep our hand in the Masters hand for He is a heart fixer and our mind regulator. Don't allow unholy thoughts to fill your mind, because those thoughts will start to show in your living and how you interact with others. Be careful who you allow to speak into your life. Be sure to only let positive speaking enter your spirit and not negative. Everyone does not mean well, there are some people who are unhappy and their job is to make you miserable just like them. Don't let a day go by without keeping your mind stayed on Jesus.

Study scripture: (1 John 4:16) We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
