Good morning, Family:

May the God who never changes be with you in all that you do. Never get weary in doing the right thing. Love your neighbor, in the same manner you would want to be loved.

New International Version

Good morning, Family:

I shared this story this weekend on my Facebook page, but I wanted to share it with you. This took place on Saturday June 6th.

Something Wonderful Happened Today…

I had just finished putting my groceries in my SUV. I turned my radio on and was about to put my car in reverse when someone knocked on my passenger window. At first, I thought maybe I had left something inside the store.
It was an older white man who said he saw my door magnet advertising my business. What he said next floored me.

He said, “Can I pray for you?” I paused for a minute, out of shock and then I happily said, “Yes.” He asked me my name and then these words began to flow from him.

“Dear Lord, I pray that you would cover Marcia as she transforms the world around her. I pray that you would cover her from anything that would leave a scar on her heart, during this time. May she be used by You for your glory, in Jesus name, Amen.”

Y’all, when I say I was crying and so touched by his prayer! In this season of transformation and change, somebody got it and reached across the aisle to grab my hand.

I dont know his name, but I pray that I get to see him again, just to say, “Thank You” one more time.

I know today’s musical choice isn’t a gospel or Christian song, but it is a reminder that we can each do our part to change the world and make it a better place.

Go in peace, while praising and serving the Lord.

I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of Christ.

Good morning, Family:

One thing that is always a constant is change. Change sometimes is painful. Change sometimes is beautiful. Change allows space for life, for survival and for hope.

For some, change causes anxiety and fear, as it is the closing of a door to allow the opening of another.

One thing I love about living in Georgia is because it has four distinct seasons. There is a time for each season to show off its beauty. However, in order for each season to arrive, it means that another season has to go away. Change in seasons is beautiful. Each seasons shines in it’s own way.

Also, what I love is that each seasons contains so many beautiful elements. The elements dont compete with each other. No element is better than the other, but they all work in perfect harmony with each other. Everything is beautiful.

How can we learn from nature? What lessons are we missing?

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 English

Standard Version (ESV)

A Time for Everything

3 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

Good morning, Family:

Whew, I feel like we need a global deep inhale and exhale….whoosaaa.

In real estate, I would always here the phrase, “location, location, location.” Being in the right place would determine success or failure, especially when it comes to business.

In today’s climate, the most important factor is where our hope and trust reside. For me, all of my hope is in Jesus. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. God’s location never changes. He is always right there with us.

We just have to remember where we live. We must stop trying to change our address. Our address is Wherever God is.

Good morning, Family:

Love is a neverending force that is the strongest force in the Universe. Love does not buckle and does not fail. I continue to have hope in humanity and hope in Love. I do understand that I cannot get weary in going good, because my seeds of good will harvest fields of good from others.

The universal law is true, “What you plant is what you harvest.”

Psalm 30:4-5 

New International Version (NIV)

Good morning. Family:

I try to always be transparent with you, as I believe that truth is liberating and freeing.

First, let me say that I am so blessed to have subscribers from literally every continent on the globe. I’m glad that Sacred Journey Devotionals is a place that we all know and understand that we a family of many ethnicities.

These past few days and weeks, I have truly been struggling with being a Light. I am an African-American woman, who was born and raised in the South to two very well educated and professional parents. My mother was very vocal during the civil rights movement and my father made history, in the small Tennessee town where we lived.

My mother participated in sit-ins and other civil rights activities and my father was one of the first black men to ever work at the Oakridge Nuclear Power Plant. Initially, he and other black men had to receive a military escort into the plant.  I did not learn about this until the year my father died from cancer.

I thought, as the years progressed, that our culture would drastically be more progressive, inclusive and accepting. It seems as though every time I turn on the news now and I see so many of our African American men, boys and children being terrorized.

This weekend, watching the news, I see the knee of an officer on a handcuffed man’s neck. I just watched the video in horror and just cried. I thought about my husband immediately and I became terrified.

My husband goes out each week and works so hard for our family. However, he knows that in order for him to ensure his safety, he tries not to travel at night or to travel alone if working outside of the state.

I literally had a panic attack this morning watching him leave the house. He just held me and let me cry. I’m telling you all this so that you can understand my heart.

I come from a beautiful ethnically diverse family. We love each other so much. I just wish I knew what to do to help change the world.

I have faith in the Lord, it’s people that scare me. Please pray for the hearts of man to change.

Truth…Is…

When I realize that a mask was being worn by a familiar face, I was confused, hurt and dazed.
I called the “Masked One” a friend.
I gaze now, trying to figure out who has been looking at me this whole time.
Is it…. Was it …. a friend OR foe?

The Spirit, that whispers, was able to tell me in time, “Look behind Its back.”
I didn’t want to believe it, but Spirit kept repeating, “Look behind its back.”
Tears fell, when I saw a brief glimpse of something shiny in Its hand.
Why, I dont understand, what have done?

Spirit whispers, “What is behind Its back was not meant to attack you. The weapon is to self inflict. The “Masked One” is not whole. I’m waiting for IT to hand it over to me. The Masked-One does not realize that as long as something is in Its hand, IT wont be able to reach for Me.”

I say a quiet prayer, “Spirit, free It from its self imposed prison. Set IT free.”

Spirit replies, “I cant until It cries out for Me.”

Good morning, Divine Family:

I pray that each of you would look for God today, as if you were looking for a precious stone. As you seek God, may joy, peace, and mercy be revealed. Today, we have the pleasure of receiving a fresh batch of Joy.

Lamentations 3:22-26 

New International Version (NIV)

²² Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
²³ They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
²⁴ I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”

Go in peace, mercy and love, while sharing with others the same joy that you receive.

If you want peace today, help someone else  have peace. If you want joy today, help someone by bringing them joy. If you want love today, show someone how much you love them. After all, love is an Action word.

Rev. Marcia Davis

Good morning, Precious Family:

It’s the end of the week and we as a people, a country and a world have faced hurdles we have never before. One of the things I love to see are people helping each other. We always find a way, in the face of adversity, to lift each other up.

My prayer is that the love would continue, without a crisis. Love is the only way.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Living Bible (TLB)

⁴ Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, ⁵ never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. ⁶ It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. ⁷ If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.

⁸ All the special gifts and powers from God will someday come to an end, but love goes on forever. Someday prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge—these gifts will disappear.

I love you with the amazing and everlasting of Christ.

Rev. Marcia Davis

Good morning, Survivors, Warriors, and Victors:

May God shine bright through us all today. May we be the Light Keepers we were called to be in this world. More than ever before,  the world needs to see the light and hope of God.

Philippians 2:14-16 

English Standard Version (ESV)

¹⁴ Do all things without grumbling or disputing, ¹⁵ that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, ¹⁶ holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

May God bless you and keep you in perfect beautiful peace. Shine bright, family and share the hope and love of Christ!!

In His amazing love,

Rev. Marcia Davis
