Baskets of Blessings Day 23 by SGLY Ministry

Blessing: Names Recorded in God’s Book of Remembrance
Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them;
So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name. Malachi 3:16 NKJV

Message:
I love this verse! As we speak to one another and meditate on the LORD’s name He hears us and makes remembrance of us.
Not only are our names written in God’s Book of Life, but they are also written in His Book of Remembrance. That’s one of the blessings of those who fear the LORD.

Confidence

With confidence, I make choices that enrich my life.

When I remind myself that I have everything within me to accomplish any goal, I cannot help but feel confident. I am a child of God, created in the image and likeness of my creator. I am an image of love and perfection, with infinite wisdom to guide and strengthen me.

How do I express confidence and strength? I spend time in prayer, connecting with God. In the stillness, I contemplate my divine potential. I let the power and presence of God bubble up from within, and I radiate poise and confidence.

Whether interviewing for a job, taking a test, or traveling in an unfamiliar place, God-life within gives me confidence to be my best self.

And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.—Psalm 9:10

Never Alone

I am never alone, for God and I are one.

There are times when I may feel alone or afraid. When I am in a state of fear I may not be able to see the resources available to me. In these times I turn within to the presence of Spirit. I pause and take in a gentle breath. Slowly exhaling, I let go of all concerns. Remembering God’s presence in my life clears my mind. I am able to feel the love of Spirit when I affirm: I am one with God.

As I recognize that I am never alone, I begin to open my mind to God’s good. The truth is that infinite possibilities are available to me in every moment. I rest in the assurance that I am an integral part of God’s family. All manner of support is available to me from my friends, family, and of course from Spirit. I remain steadfast in the truth that wherever I am, God is and all is well.

God is our refuge and strength.—Psalm 46:1

2 Kings 6:6b 'Then the axe head floated to the surface.'

- God can turn any situation around. He can even cause an axe head to float.
- What situation are you facing that seems impossible to you?
- Give it to the Lord and ask Him to do a miracle and watch what He will do.

PRAYER: Lord, I believe that You are a miracle-working God. I give You my impossible situation and ask You to do a miracle for me and I will not forget to be thankful for what You have done. Amen.

Kind Regards
Pastor Andrew & Vanessa Roebert

Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted me as a living member of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have blessed me with the grace of forgiveness through the sacrifice He made for me and for all people.

Almighty God, if I am overwhelmed by the tides of temptation and discouragement, let me not drift away to sea, but anchor and take harbor in thee. May I not be afraid to trust in thy protection, but calmly wait and watch for thy deliverance. Amen.

*****

Dear heavenly Father, thank you that You called me to be Your servant. Lord, give me the grace to serve You well. I do thank You for Your wisdom also. Guide me daily in the things that I must do and show me my priorities. Help me to be sensitive to the needs of those around me. Lord, I am looking to You to meet all of my needs. Give me peace and confidence when I must deal with situations that are difficult for me. May I speak the truth in love and be open myself for correction when You see something in my life that needs changing. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

*****

Dear God and Father of us all, sanctify us in your truth. Your Word is truth. We come before your presence and ask you to touch us with your Spirit, to shape our lives in the truth and in the joy of your name. Touch us with your Spirit, that we may carry out our tasks in your service. May your face shine on us and on all needy people who turn to you. May your power be given ever more fully, and may your cause become great in the world until at last it brings new life to all nations. Amen.
