Tonight’s meditation: GOD CAN TELL YOU WHAT IT MEANS! when we dream it may be the images are obscure or you aren’t sure what the dream is relaying to you. That is fine; the important thing to know is that God is with you and He knows the interpretation. The fact of the matter is that He is always there and available to us, but do we turn to Him And seek His council? He is the best advisor, the interpreter of dreams, the Shepard of our souls and the watcher of our path. He knows when we get up or we sit down. He has counted all the hair on our head! And most importantly, without Him we can do nothing. Whereas with Him, nothing is impossible! Peace 🙏

1/20/23: Todays readings are from Genesis 40-43. Todays meditation:
INTERPRETING DREAMS IS GODS BUSINESS! Let’s call on the God of Joseph, of Jacob, of Issac, and of Abraham to help us today in the interpretation of dreams. Feel free to share your dreams here and anyone in the community can offer their interpretation with Gods assistance! For He is the one who gives the dream and it is He who we rely on to interpret the dream. God bless! 🙏 1/19/23: Happy Birthday to my eldest, Amy! Todays meditation: HERE COMES THE DREAMER! At times we are seen as a problem by others close to us. People who should love and care for us. Maybe our coworkers, our children, our siblings or even our parents. Yet, Here Comes the Dreamer! If the dreams God has given you are of Him; then no front of hell can be used against you! In fact the Lord Himself will protect you and those dreams and will manifest them in the natural. As the dream is from Him; so it is His doing and His will. The brothers didn’t like Joseph since He was the favorite of Jacob, the child of his old age. And he showed his love to him with the special gift of the many colored coat. And also Joseph was righteous among his brothers and did what was right in obedience to his father. Follow your dreams, be a dreamer; and press into the Lord and inquire of Him what His dreams for you are. God bless 🙏 Tonight’s meditation:
THE LORD WAS WITH HIM. Even in Joseph’s captivity and slavery the Lord was with Him and caused everything he did to succeed. The prison warden put him in charge of the prison and other prisoners as he recognized that the Lord was with him. Potiphar also put Joseph in charge of his household since everything he did was blessed by God. God can and will use us in every situation to His glory. He caused Joseph to rise up even in his distress as God was with him. Amen 🙏 1/18/23: todays meditation:
THE GOD WHO ANSWERED MY PRAYERS! How nice to have a relationship with the Lord where you know He will answer your prayers. It brings to mind the song, “Oh, what a friend I have in Jesus!” If you think about it, you don’t have a better friend than Him. Who else would lay down their life for you? He is the best friend anyone could ask for and more! Let’s thank Him today for His sweet friendship and love! He is the one who will answer your prayers! Shalom 🙏 1/17/23: todays meditation: I AM THE GOD WHO APPEARED TO YOU! Have you ever thought about all the people who appear to you in a single day? At times these people can appear to be random. Unknowns, not related, not your problem. However, if we consider the above; He is the God who appeared to you; In them. I like to muse upon this: God appearing to me in the form of a homeless person, or old lady, or a poor child in need, a sick person or a runaway teenager who needs help. The people I meet along my journey for the day. I am not saying I always do what is right; but at least considering this as a possibility raises my consciousness to the fact that God Himself May be appearing to me. And what would Jesus do? Or what would Jesus have me do? These are good questions to ask yourself as you approach strangers today. Maybe all they need is a smile, a “hello, how are you?” and “God bless you”! So for today meditate upon this: THE GOD WHO APPEARED TO YOU! 🔥 Tonight’s meditation: I WILL NOT LET YOU GO UNTIL YOU BLESS ME!
Perhaps we haven’t wrestled with God hard enough. Perhaps we weren’t willing to stay up all night long with Him in prayer and supplication and yet still wanted our blessing. Are you willing to fight for it? Are you willing to put in the time and struggle like Jacob? Who wouldn’t let go until the Lord blessed him? Listen, this applies to our lives right now too. If you want intimacy with the Lord; you need to put the time in. You need to fight against every temptation and distraction to be with Him. And fight until you get that alone and one on one time too. Anything that is worth fighting for, should be struggled to achieve. Jesus is certainly worth every moment of your time. Let’s pray for each other to not give up, give in or throw in the towel until He blesses us with His presence! Shalom 🙏 1/16/23: Todays meditation: NOW I WILL PRAISE THE LORD! God sees us in our distress. Leah wasn’t loved by Jacob so God loved her by giving her many children through Jacob. Rachel was loved by Jacob more than Leah. Rachel couldn’t conceive. God sees and knows the slightest injustices we suffer in life at the hands of others and He will correct them. He is a just God. Children were always recognized and known to be a gift from God and a sign of His blessing. This is right thinking according to Gods natural law and order decreed to man from the beginning. Go forth and multiply. God blessed His servants with much like Jacob. He had many children, land and wealth fulfilling and continuing the promise of the Lord to Abraham. Sometimes we just have to let go and let God; as He sees all the slights and injustices you have suffered and He is about to right them in front of those who wronged you. 🙏 Tonight’s meditation:
THEN GOD REMEMBERED! Just when we think we can’t take it anymore, we can’t fight another round, then God remembers! He is completely aware of us and remembers us in His mercy; not leaving us alone to fend for ourselves but sending us help in due time. He knows when we are done and feel like there is nothing more we can do in the natural. This allows His supernatural provision to come in and manifest for a testimony of His grace and love. For Rachel, she finally became the mother of Joseph, the future prince of Egypt, and Jacob’s youngest son, Benjamin! At times the best is saved for last. 🙏 1/15/23: Todays meditation: I WILL BE WITH YOU AND BLESS YOU! At all times the blessing requires obedience to the voice of the Lord. In this case the Lord told Isaac to remain in the land as a foreigner. Remain and occupy the land, wherever the Lord places and directs you. Even if it is in the land of your enemies as this is where the Lord will bless you. Tonight’s meditation: SURELY THE LORD IS IN THIS PLACE! Did you ever wonder if the Lord was where you are? Or if the Lord was with you? Here Jacob fell asleep on a rock in the middle of a plain and he sees the famous stairway to heaven with the angels going up and down and the Lord at the top of the stairway. Here he is given the promise of the Lord that he will receive the promise of Abraham and his descendants will be as many as the stars of the sky. He named that place and the rock Bethel. Sometimes it is when we are between a rock and a hard place that we receive the Lords promise, it is at an unexpected place and an unexpected time. But to the Lord the timing is perfect and the environment is just right! 🙏
1/14/23: Today’s Meditation: THE LORD WILL PROVIDE. It is tempting and a temptation from the father of lies to doubt the word of God and also to doubt His provision. Abraham walked in obedience to God, preparing to sacrifice his only son of promise, Issac, in order to obey the Lord. When Isaac asks his father Abraham, where is the lamb for the sacrifice? Abraham answered him prophetically, “God will provide.” Abraham as a father was willing to sacrifice his only beloved son of promise, Isaac, in order to please the Lord and do His will. In this He is also a forerunner of Christ and the Father in Heaven, who gives us HIs only Son, Jesus, in the eternal and everlasting covenant and sacrifice at Golgotha. As the most perfect redemption and price paid for our sins. Remember, God will provide and has provided for all of our spiritual needs and will certainly continue to guide us and lead us in our corporal and physical needs as well. Jesus we trust in you! 🙏 https://bible.com/bible/2015/gen.22.13-14.NRSV-CI The Lord will provide. 🙏 Tonight’s meditation: Genesis 24
YOU WHO ARE BLESSED BY THE LORD! At times we can forget our blessings or that we are blessed. But everyday that the Lord gifts you with His gift of life and of breath is a great gift from Him. Our blessings are so many and it is good to thank the Lord for our many blessings especially before we sleep at night! May the Lord keep you and bless you and cover you during the night watch with His Angelic Protection and peace. In Jesus name! 🙏 1/13/23: todays meditation: THE LORD IS ABOUT TO DESTROY IT. In todays meditation in Genesis Chapter 19 we see that the fiancés of Lots daughters were warned by Lot to leave the city the night prior to its destruction; but they did not believe him. The city was destroyed early the next morning and those men were destroyed along with it. How many times does God give us a warning not to do something; or to leave an area right away or to move and we do not obey? Ultimately, being Gods friend involves trusting in Gods word above your own reason and attachments. Lots wife, although she left the city with Lot and their daughters, turned back to look upon the city to her destruction. She was turned to a pillar of salt. The wrath of God is holy and should not be looked upon; and perhaps she was attached to her past life and looked back. Once the Lord tells you to go and do; put your hand to the plow and don’t look back. Don’t rely on your own understanding but trust the Lord. Your life and your future may depend on it! 🙏 Tonights meditation: GOD HAS BROUGHT ME LAUGHTER! I pray this evening that God has brought you laughter! For He is a God of joy!
Nothing is impossible to Him. 🙏 1/12/23: Todays reading is from Genesis chapter 16-18. We have begun to read the Bible in a year. We started January 7th, 2023! Everyday we should read three chapters of the Bible starting in Genesis and ending in Revelation. Everyday I will share a verse from a chapter that we can meditate or chew on in the morning and evening. Everyone is welcome to join in with words/visions or dreams that the Lord is giving you especially pertaining to the chapters we are covering. The purpose of this exercise is to remain in a state of prayer and oneness with God so that we become His glory carriers, His friends and therefore also His intercessors for our neighbors. To be counted righteous as Abraham and also to be counted as His friend. Todays meditation is from chapter 16. GOD HEARS! Sometimes we don’t felt heard by those around us; think about the goodness of God who hears everything; He hears you in your distress and He hears you when you laugh or speak. He knows all your thoughts and the intentions of your heart be they good or bad. He hears your cry and has counted and collected your tears as a sacrificial offering to the Father. No suffering is lost. This particular verse I believe the Lord is leading us to chew on. Chew all the juice from it. Everyone is free to do as the Lord leads them. If you want a bigger morsel to chew on then do that as well. In the practice of Lexio Divina it is usually a small phrase or even just a word that needs to be focused on as the meditation for that day. I hope this blesses you all going forward! 🙏 Tonight’s meditation: IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD? For with God nothing is impossible. This is the lesson that Abraham and Sarah learned by patiently waiting for their promise. It came in Gods perfect timing, not in their timing and not by their interference or action either. It came despite them. When all natural options for having a baby were exhausted and the two of them were too old to naturally conceive and bear children; only then did the Lord act. So that man would not receive the glory at all, but recognize the blessing as being completely and utterly dependent upon God. This is how God works. To Him alone be the glory! 🙏
