STARS

My servant Paul wrote: "There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differs from another star in glory (1 Corinthians 15:41).

I created you be a light in this world that shines brightly for Me. You were created to uniquely show forth My glory (My presence) to others on earth.

As the days grow darker, I have called you to shine brighter and brighter so that men can see your good works and glorify Me.  There are unique works I have created for you to do. Ask Me what works I have called you to do each day when you pray.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:41; PROVERBS 4:18

BEHIND

It is the nature of mankind not to want to be behind in anything.  Most people want to be in the front of the crowd so that they can see better and hear better what is happening at the moment.

When you review your life, you can usually remember some very hard things that happened in your life.  Maybe you had a child die at a young age or maybe you had a divorce that was very traumatic. Remembering your past can be a painful experience.

My servant Paul was ashamed of many things that happened in his past.  However, he did not meditate on those things.  He wrote: "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth to those things that are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Keep pressing forward.

PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

DILIGENCE

My disciple Peter was far from perfect.  However, he learned the importance of diligence.  He was a diligent fisherman and was willing to fish all night if that was what it took to catch a net full of fish.

Peter did not become a diligent, fruitful fisher of men, however, until he received the power of My Spirit at Pentecost.  When he received the baptism of My Spirit, he was empowered to deliver My good news to multitudes.  3,000 souls were saved by his message just after he received the anointing of My Spirit.

Peter exhorted all of us to be diligent to add to our faith virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, kindness and love to our faith.  If Peter became diligent, you can also.  My Spirit will empower you to add these character qualities of My nature to your faith.

ACTS 2:41; 2 PETER 1:5-7

ALL

When My Word says the word, "all," it means "all," not "some." My servant Paul wrote to the Corinthian church about how I can sufficiently supply all things. I am Jehovah Jireh your Provider.

2 Corinthians 9:8: "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work."

Let this truth that Paul wrote to My body in Corinth sink deeply into your heart.  When you meditate on this truth, you will never doubt again My ability to supply your every need.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8; MATTHEW 6:33-34

LIFT

I am the glory and the lifter of your head.  Whenever you feel heavy of heart, come to Me.  I want to lift your head up to see Me.  

I promised that if I was lifted up that I would be able to draw all men unto Me.  I was lifted up when I died on the cross to forgive you of all of your sins.

I was lifted up when I ascended into heaven.  I want to lift your head up to see how much I love you. Today and every day when you pray, allow Me to lift up your head to see My GLORY (My presence with you).

PSALM 3:3, 24:9

SAFETY

Many people fear for their safety as they see crime increase in their cities.  New safety devices have even been invented to ward off those who want to invade homes to rob or to do harm.

Most people in My homeland Israel have made safe places in their homes that will give some amount of safety when terrorists launch destructive missiles into their villages.

There is only one place that can provide safety and that is when you abide under the shelter of My wings. When you trust in Me, you do not need to be afraid because you will be able to lay down in peace, and sleep because I, your LORD, only make you dwell in safety.

PSALM, 4:8

TAKE

There are many material things in life that you can choose to take or leave them.

Material things will pass away.  In fact, they will all be burned one day.  The things I want you to take are those things that will last forever.

I want you to take My yoke upon you and learn of Me.  My yoke is My Holy Spirit. I want you to take and receive the protection and provision of My blood that was shed for you.  I want you to take and receive My Word into your heart daily.  All these things are of eternal value.

MATTHEW 11:29
