Good morning, Precious Family:

I pray for your peace in the Lord daily. It is my heart’s desire that no past hurt, trauma, or brokenness has prevented you from having a filling life, in your relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you have unhealed hurts, I pray that you would allow God to minister to your heart. There is nothing that God can’t fix. Trust him to do a complete work in your heart, mind and soul.

In Psalm 51, David asked God to give him a new heart so that absolutely nothing would come between the worship David wanted to give God. David didn’t ask for money, fame, the best job, or even perfect health. David’s only desire was to be able to worship God with all that he had.

Psalm 51:10-17 

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰ Create in me a pure heart, O God,
    and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
¹¹ Do not cast me from your presence
    or take your Holy Spirit from me.
¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation
    and grant me a willing spirit,to sustain me.

Good morning, Family:

In this fast-paced life we are in now, sometimes it is hard to slow down and take time for our spiritual health. We must always understand, as Christians, our hope and joy comes from the giver of life, Jesus Christ our Lord and Redeemer.

Why is it important to seek God? Seeking God’s direction gives us a plan and a purpose. We can navigate our lives with hope, faith, and trust knowing that while we follow and pursue God, everything in our lives will be so much more peaceful.

Meditate on today’s scripture:

Matthew 6:31-34 

New International Version (NIV)

³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Be blessed. Follow God. Stay prayed up.

Seek God.

Rev. Marcia F. Davis

Good morning, Family:

I’m so grateful and blessed for each and every one of you. I pray for you often and you are always on my mind. I’m excited about the day that we may get see each other face to face.

The main purpose of Sacred Journey Devotionals is always to uplift, encourage and edify each reader to help you grow stronger in your daily spiritual walk.

We are all more than conquerors and even though weapons may be formed against us, they will not prosper because we are covered and grafted into the family of believers in Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 54:17 

New King James Version (NKJV)

Happy Day, Family:

I’m so thankful for each of you. I pray that today, and every day to come, that you will taste the joy of the Lord. May His joy bring life to your heart, mind, spirit, and soul. The Love of God is radiant and beautiful. Taste and see that he is good.

Psalm 19:1-6

New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 19

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
² Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge.
³ They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
⁴ Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
⁵     It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
    like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
⁶ It rises at one end of the heavens
    and makes its circuit to the other;
    nothing is deprived of its warmth.

Good morning, Overcomers:

As Christians, we have great power in this world, because we are children of a great and mighty King. Our God Jehovah sits on the Throne and our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, sits to the right of God as our Chief Intercessor.

We are more than conquerors because we have union with Christ. We are Overcomers!!!!

John 16:33 

The Message (MSG)

^31-33 Jesus answered them, “Do you finally believe? In fact, you’re about to make a run for it—saving your own skins and abandoning me. But I’m not abandoned. The Father is with me. I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.”

Family, dont give up. Your greatest victory comes right after your toughest fight. Stand strong and fight. You are not alone. Call on your Help every minute of every day. Dont try and fight this battle  in your own strength. Put on your warrior clothes!!!

You are….

We are…

Jesus is…The Overcomer!

Amen.

Good morning, Family:

One of my favorite scripture passages is from Revelations 5. Chapter 5 holds such a special place in my heart because I used to have dreams and visions about it.

This morning, on my way to work, I heard a Chris Rice song that spoke of this very passage of scripture. The chapter is too large for me to post here, but I invite you to read chapter 5. Here is an excerpt:

Revelation 5:1-5 

New International Version (NIV)

The Scroll and the Lamb

5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. ² And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” ³ But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. ⁴ I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. ⁵ Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Go in peace, family, while giving glory, honor and praise to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Rev. Marcia Davis

Good morning, Family:

Happy Friday, if you are here in the states. Happy Day for our family all across the world.

In yesterday’s devotional, we talked about God’s grace being more than enough to help us through anything. Today, we will talk about WHY God’s grace is more than sufficient.

When God told Moses that he had to go before Pharaoh to tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go, Moses had to also go to his people and tell them that God sent him to set them free. Moses asked the Lord, if the people ask who sent me on this rescue mission, who should I say gave me the orders? God told Moses to tell the people that “I Am That I Am” sent has sent you.

What is encompassed in the totality of  the title “I Am Who Am?” It is same power that we spoke of yesterday, God’s Grace. God’s grace takes many forms and can be used in any situation.

There is nothing to hard for God. If God gave you instructions to do a certain thing, trust and believe that he will give you the provisions to make it happen. You must have faith and you must know how to listen.

Exodus 3:13-14 

The Message (MSG)

¹³ Then Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the People of Israel and I tell them, ‘The God of your fathers sent me to you’; and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ What do I tell them?”

¹⁴ God said to Moses, “I-AM-WHO-I-AM. Tell the People of Israel, ‘I-AM sent me to you.’”

Go in peace, while serving the Lord. Know that God’s grace has already gone before you to prepare the way.

In His Amazing Grace,

Rev. Marcia F. Davis

 

Good morning, Family:

I was thinking about my Christian journey. I love my walk with the Lord. I have to admit, there is an aspect of my life that I truly wish God would just remove.

Family, have you ever asked God to take a certain problem away, so that you wouldn’t have to struggle and deal with it anymore?

Has God ever not removed it? Do you ever wonder why?

2 Corinthians 12:8-9 

New International Version (NIV)

⁸ Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. ⁹ But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Go in peace, Family, while praising and serving the Lord. God’s Grace is always with you. #TeamJesus

Rev. Marcia Davis

Good morning, Family:

Both yesterday and today, I have been  longing deeply for more intimacy with the Lord. Just when I believe I am satisfied, God calls me even deeper.

I am always so overjoyed when God, through His Holy Spirit, calls my name. God created us to worship. There is never a time when God will not want us to come closer. In the “right now” moment, is always the perfect time to fellowship with God. Listen for God to whisper to your spirit. When he calls, may our response be, “Yes, Lord, I am here.”

James 4:7-8 

Living Bible (TLB)

⁷ So give yourselves humbly to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. ⁸ And when you draw close to God, God will draw close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and let your hearts be filled with God alone to make them pure and true to him.

Go in peace, while praising and serving the Lord. Let us glorify God, in every area of our lives. May we all be walking testimonies of God’s faithfulness and love. 

In Christ,

Rev. Marcia F. Davis

Good morning, Family:

I hope you had a weekend that was filled with remembrance and honor, for the brave men and women who honorably served this country and gave their lives for our freedom.

My husband and I proudly raised our flag at our home yesterday. My husband is a veteran who almost did not make it back home, as he was seriously wounded during the Gulf War. I know when he raises the flag it means something.

Thank you to all of the family, friends and loved ones who have lost a soldier. I know that your lives are forever changed by the sacrifice that was made. May God continue to give you strength, peace and hope.

I honor all branches of the armed services. Thank you to all of the young men and women out of high school that have decided to sign up for your country. You are now a part of greatness and honor. May God continually protect and keep you.

Psalm 5:11-12 

New International Version (NIV)
