Psalm 108:5 “Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.” (NIV)

Child – You are to exalt Me over yourself and everything else in your life. I am to be first, last and always at the center of your thoughts, prayers and meditations. I am the way to fullness of life and peace. My joy will flood over your soul as you seek Me first.

“Only and always”… that can and must be your focus to live in my kingdom moment by moment. It’s a learning process. As you seek Me and learn more of Me and my heart for you, you will begin to trust more. Level by level you will walk higher and higher above the circumstances of life.

Yes, the circumstances may still be there. But you can walk triumphantly over them, trampling the enemy and his plans for destruction under your feet. It is only through focusing on Me and utilizing my power that you are a conqueror. In Me you have all you need to face the day.

Exalt Me today and see…

Love you,  Abba

Made Right

Romans 3:22 “We are made right with God by placing our faith in Christ Jesus. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.” (NLT)

Praise God – Because I believe in Jesus Christ and trust in the finished work of His blood sacrifice, I am made right before God. No matter how I’ve lived before, I am now in right standing with God. He sees me in Jesus covered by the blood He shed for me – and for all.

However, only those who believe in this finished work can stand in that righteousness. The act was done for all, but free choice on our part either brings us into this privileged position or prevents us from walking in it.

The price has been paid. Will I accept it or not? My choice – blessings and favor or the position of an outcast?

Thank you, Father, that you have given me the faith to believe. You have given this measure of faith to all people, but I still have the power of choice to accept Jesus or not. Show me how to pray for those who are still blinded to your wonderful gift of freedom in Christ.

Set the captives free, Father. Show me my part in your plan of redemption. May you be honored in my life today and may others see your glory!

Love you,  Your Child

Thank Offerings

Psalm 50:23 “Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me….” (NIV)

Child – You’ve asked how you can honor Me. Bring Me thank offerings. Do this by becoming aware of all the good that comes to your life from Me. Then allow yourself to be filled with gratitude and express it to Me.

View your whole world as a gift. I have given you all you possess and I am also the source of all you will possess. Your attitude of thanksgiving prepares the way for my blessings. So, if you think you are not being blessed at the moment, check your attitude. Your words and thoughts hold the key to more.

An attitude of gratitude is much more than a “platitude.” It is your link to my supply. Be wise and use it often. Have a need? Thank Me for what you already have. There’s much more to come. You release the dike holding back my blessings through thanksgiving and praise. Try it and see. I know you’ll like it.

I love you, child, and have my best stored up for you. You hold the key. Use it each day and watch the blessing flow to you and others around you. You are my covenant child and are called to bless others as you are blessed.

Love you,  Abba
