Good morning, Family:

I pray this message finds you doing well and at peace in your heart, mind, soul and spirit.

Today is a brand new day, full of new mercies and blessings. Greet the day with a thankful heart.

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.”

Jehovah Mekoddishkem

(The Lord Who Sanctifies You)

Father, I thank you for continually being God in my life and in every circumstance. I am grateful for your patience and mercy and that your desire is always for me to be better.

I thank you that you are a Sanctifier in every area of my life. Continue to have your way in my life. Continue to sanctify me as I grow and transform into your image and likeness.

Help me to trust your hands, your will and your methods for sanctifying me. I trust you completely, more than I trust anything else. Sanctify my thoughts, my mouth, my heart, my relationships, my finances, my worship and my life, as I walk and live for you.

Let my life be a reflection of your goodness, grace and mercy. Let the world, that I meet everyday, meet the woman you have sanctified and washed over with your Word and through the Resurection Power of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Serve the Lord with gladness and joy!!

Rev. Marcia Davis

Good morning, Family:

The excerpts below were taken directly from the Department of Defense’s Website.

“The foundational strength of the Department of Defense is the men and women who volunteer to serve our country and protect our freedoms. The Department of Defense provides the military forces needed to deter war and ensure our nation’s security.“

As one who has several family members that served this country, I am so honored and proud of their acceptance to the call to serve.

I want to say, “Thank You,” to all of the amazing men and women who said, “Yes.” If you are a veteran please let me know, so that I can personally recognize you to all of the Sacred Journey Devotional Family.

2 Timothy 2:1-2

Living Bible (TLB)

2 O Timothy, my son, be strong with the strength Christ Jesus gives you. ² For you must teach others those things you and many others have heard me speak about. Teach these great truths to trustworthy men who will, in turn, pass them on to others.

Thank you to all who served this beautiful country and to all who continue to serve. 

God bless you,

Rev. Marcia Davis

Isaiah 54:16-17 

Living Bible (TLB)

¹⁶ I have created the smith who blows the coals beneath the forge and makes the weapons of destruction. And I have created the armies that destroy. ¹⁷ But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you shall succeed, and you will have justice against every courtroom lie. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. This is the blessing I have given you, says the Lord.

Go in peace, Family. Serve the Lord with gladness and obedience. 

Rev. Marcia Davis

2 Timothy 4:1-8 

New International Version (NIV)

4 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: ² Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. ³ For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. ⁴ They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. ⁵ But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

⁶ For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. ⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

May our mighty God, bless you and keep you in PERFECT peace. 

Rev. Marcia Davis

Good morning, Family:

I pray that your week will be filled with joy, peace, obedience, gratitude, and faith. I always call you “family” because we are a part of three different family circles.

First, we are all a part of the Family of Life. Second, we are a part of the Family of the human race, Third, we are a part of the Family of Believers in Jesus Christ.

For all of us, the first two families are automatic. There is nothing you need to do to join. However, the third family group requires something special. It requires Faith.

How do you become become a member of the Family of Christ? This is what the Word of God says:

Romans 10:9-13 

New International Version (NIV)

⁹ If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. ¹¹ As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” ¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³ for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Rejoice in the Lord, always.

Again, I say REJOICE!!!!

Rev. Marcia Davis

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

 

 

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.

¹ God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
³ though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.

⁴ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
⁵ God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
⁶ Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

⁷ The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

⁸ Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
⁹ 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.”

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)

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

Rev. Marcia Davis
