As Unto The Lord…

colossians-3-17

Good morning, Family:

Growing up, my mother would always repeatedly tell me two things, every single day. The first is whenever any of us would leave the house, she would say, “Take the Lord with you.” The other thing she would say is, “Whatever you do, do it like you are doing for the Lord.”

Colossians 3:15-17 

New International Version (NIV)

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

May the peace of God rest, rule and abide with you always.

In His Amazing Love,

Rev. Marcia Davis

NotAshamed

Good morning, Family:

This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice, with an exceedingly great joy, and be glad.

I bless the Lord. this morning, with no apologies. I was excited and ecstatic, when the Lord invited me to accept Him as my Redeemer.

I will never be ashamed of the Gospel. I take wonderful pride in sharing the Lord every chance I get.

Romans 1:16-17 

New International Version (NIV)

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

May you go boldly, but peacefully, sharing and proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ.

In His AMAZING Grace,

Rev. Marcia Davis

Psalm 46

New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 46

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth. A song.

God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

May the peace of the Lord be with you always.

Rain in the Forecast…

0b9c282607692a32ccf234bf3c59ffbd

Good morning, Family:

The forecast, this weekend, calls for rain, here in Georgia. I have a great respect for nature and weather. Wind and water are two things that can be beautiful and at the same time deadly. They carry the potential for both abundant blessings and catastrophic destruction. 

Today, I would like to focus on the blessing of Rain. 

Joel 2:23 

Contemporary English Version (CEV)

23 People of Zion,
celebrate in honor
of the Lord your God!
He is generous and has sent
the autumn and spring rains
in the proper seasons.

May the Peace of the Lord, that passes all understanding, be with you always.

Psalm 121

English Standard Version (ESV)

My Help Comes from the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

121 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
    From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved;
    he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is your keeper;
    the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all evil;
    he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
    your going out and your coming in
    from this time forth and forevermore.

Be encouraged, family. You are not alone.

Matthew 11:28-30

Contemporary English Version (CEV)

28 If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest. 29 Take the yoke I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from me. I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest. 30 This yoke is easy to bear, and this burden is light.

Jesus loves you so much. The doors are always open. The table is always prepared, just for you. Stop trying to do everything by yourself. You have help.

No Projecting Allowed…

Good morning, Family:

I greet you, All, with the amazing, unchanging, neverending love of God.

I want to jump right into today’s devotional. Ready??!!

As a bible-based Life Coach, minister, premarital counselor, and fellow child of God, I get asked my advice and recommendations fairly often and on a variety of topics.

People come to me who are embarking on new life journeys and changes. It is so important that I am grounded in the Lord, before I give advice, tools, or recommendations to anyone.

It is imperative that I never counsel anyone from a broken place inside of me. For that reason, I always pray for the person’s highest good, according to God’s will.

Here is the problem, if I dont pray for God’s highest good. The result could be that I project my hurts, fears, and/or past traumatic events onto a person. That is not fair to them, me or God.

I pray that when someone comes to you for advice, or prayer, that you would put yourself aside and allow God to step forward. This action also removes any reason for you to boast or take credit for what God has done through you.

Meditate on today’s devotional and humbly ask God to search your heart. Pray for God’s highest good for YOUR LIFE as well. I can’t wait to get testimonies of how God moved in your life.

John 13:34

English Standard Version (ESV)

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

May the peace of the Lord be with you always. Go and share the Lord’s peace, with everyone you meet.

In His amazing love, 

Rev. Marcia Davis

 

 

Cleanse Me…

psalm-518

Good morning, Family:

The Holy Spirit put something on my heart this morning. We, as the universal church, can sometimes be quick to pass judgement on a person or situation.

It was impressed on my heart, this morning, to remember that we are all in need of forgiveness, grace and mercy. We all have to cry out for the cleansing blood of Jesus.

Psalm 51:7-15 

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

(5) True, I was born guilty,
was a sinner from the moment my mother conceived me.
(6) Still, you want truth in the inner person;
so make me know wisdom in my inmost heart.

(7) Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
10 (8) Let me hear the sound of joy and gladness,
so that the bones you crushed can rejoice.
11 (9) Turn away your face from my sins,
and blot out all my crimes.

12 (10) Create in me a clean heart, God;

renew in me a resolute spirit.
13 (11) Don’t thrust me away from your presence,
don’t take your Ruach Kodesh away from me.
14 (12) Restore my joy in your salvation,
and let a willing spirit uphold me.
15 (13) Then I will teach the wicked your ways,
and sinners will return to you.

May the peace of the Lord be with you always.

Rev. Marcia Davis
