Positive Daily Inspiration – January 5, 2023 – ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH GOD

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 5, 2023 - ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH GOD

“Acquaint now yourself with God, and be at peace: therefore, good shall come to you.”
Job 22:21

You are benefited, greatly, by praying. The desired that goes forth from your heart, hungering after God and God’s righteousness, is blessed by God and does not return to you void. Prayer does not change God, but it does change YOUR attitude toward God.

Just as the light pours into a dark room when the curtains are opened, so does God come into your heart when you open your heart to God.

Prayer is like dialing a number on the telephone. It is the conscious connection you make with God. Prayer gives you the faith to believe and the understanding to walk in God’s Way.

When God enters your heart, your fears depart. God’s peace floods your being. Your whole life is harmonized. If your line of communication with God has weakened, prayer rebuilds and strengthens it.

God is instantly responsive to your need. You have only to acquaint yourself with God and be at peace in order to know God.

In letters and e-mails that come to Positive Christianity, almost every person requests guidance of some sort.

One person may ask whether or not he should go to a doctor. Another may want to know whether she should remain in a job or change jobs. Another may need guidance in passing an examination. Another may want to know what to do to bring about adjustment in an inharmonious relationship. Over and over, people ask, “What should I do?”

Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given you.”
Matthew 7:7

How can you know what to do? Prayer gives you the answer to your questions. The answer may not come in words that outline what you are to do. It may not come through some other person, as much as we would sometimes like to have someone tell us exactly what to do. Your answer will come in the way you can best accept your guidance.

You live, move, and have your being in God. You are immersed in the Wisdom of God. You simply need to be aware of this, and in prayer, ask for guidance, inspiration and direction.

Remember that Jesus said, “For everyone who asks, receives.”

God is ready, willing, and able to help you NOW.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I come to you boldly this day. Take me as I am. I now give myself – my heart, my mind, my body, my time, talents and treasure to you. Fill me and lead me in my life. I renounce lower habits and bad ways. Dear God, sanctify me. Cleanse me, purge me, purify me. Your will be done in my life, on earth as it is in heaven. Let me manifest a faithful spirit, a pure mind and a energized body to your glory.

In Jesus Christ name … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I am happy; I am joyful; I am filled with good humor; I overflow with cheerfulness.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.”

Positive Daily Inspiration – January 4, 2023 – New Year’s Resolution – Smile More

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 4, 2023 - New Year's Resolution - Smile More

“Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.”
Psalms 144:15

Today’s thought is: Where is the yesterday that worried us so? Joan Walsh Anglund

This past Christmas, every moment on television I kept seeing advertisements for gifts that will make friends and family happy.

The ultimate gift is the gift itself of life. We must not waste the gift. In the fairy tale “The Last Dream of the Old Oak Tree,” the oak tree felt sorry for the day-fly. The day-fly only lives for one day, and the tree was already 365 years old. But the day-fly was so enjoying his one day that the tree’s sympathy puzzled him. The day-fly said to the tree, “You may have thousands of my days, but I have thousands of moments to be pleased and happy in.”

And so the day-fly continued to dance in the sun and smell the clover and honeysuckle. His day ended as happily as he spent it, and he settled down on a blade of grass.

If all of us could approach our day the way the day-fly does, as though this were our only day, we would spend less time worrying about yesterday and tomorrow.

How can I show my gratitude for the gift of this day?

Answer: Smile at your life.

SMILING is infectious; You catch it like the flu

When someone SMILED at me today, I started SMILING too
I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin
When he SMILED, I realized I’d passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile, then realized its worth,
A single SMILE just like mine could travel ’round the earth.
So if you feel a SMILE begin, don’t leave it undetected.

LET’S START AN EPIDEMIC QUICKLY AND GET THE WORLD INFECTED!

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, with Your help I pray to turn my moments from woe to wow!

Thank You God!

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I am most grateful for the gift of life itself and the privilege I have to live this moment.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.”

Positive Daily Inspiration – January 3, 2023 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 3, 2023 - Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“To Thee, O Lord, I lift up my soul.”
Psalms 25:1

Allow yourself to sit comfortably in your seat. Take a deep and slow breath, in and out. Feel yourself relaxing in the bright presence of God. Bring to mind the seashore; see the tide of the ocean coming in and going out. Notice the ebb and flow. See if you can feel the rhythm of that flow.

The tide comes in and it goes out, again and again, ceaselessly ebbing and flowing.

There is a great secret to that flow. In Christianity, we call it the Holy Spirit, and there is a rhythm to its movement. Wonderfully, perhaps even miraculously, you and I have been given a physical complement to this ebb and flow; it is our breath.

Deeply relax in the silence of prayer …

Become conscious, now, of your lungs filling with air and then letting the air go. We can picture the ocean flowing in and out, as we breathe in and out. This rhythm, being conscious of the flow of breath, stills the mind and stops that endless chatter of thoughts. It brings us to that state we call the silence that lies so deep within us. Like the depths of the ocean, all is still, yet all is still vitally alive, the source of life.

Ask that we spend a few minutes or so, in the silence of prayer, following our breath in and out. If you wish, you can continue to picture the ebb and flow of the ocean as you do so.

We will rest together in the silence of prayer …

On the in breath allow the full love of God to come in. As you exhale allow all resentment and old disturbances of mind to leave you.

We are one in the great love of God.

On the in breath allow the full wisdom of God to enter your mind. As you exhale, you let go of old concepts and opinions that are not to the Christ standard.

On the in breath allow the full health of God to take residence in every cell. As you exhale you let go of any impurity that has been held within the body.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

We receive from God and we give. Dear God we ask a simple prayer that we can serve more. We ask that we can make a difference because of the difference you have made in on us. We are ready and we are willing to be of service now. Help us to give more and be less concerned about ourselves.

For this knowledge and experience, we are grateful,

In the name of Jesus Christ … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: A new beginning is right now happening in my life, I accept everything as fresh and new and depart on a quest of discovery.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE:
The silence is a kind of stillness,
a place of retreat
into which we may enter and,
having entered,
may know the truth.
… In the silence,
wisdom is given for every need.
Myrtle Fillmore

Positive Daily Inspiration – January 2, 2023 – Be UP in DOWN Situations

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 2, 2023 - Be UP in DOWN Situations

Philippians 3:13-14
“No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven.”

NEW Videos – see below

Perhaps the greatest gift you could ever give yourself is a change in attitude. As we move through this New Year let us resolve to do things differently.

Sometimes, we let things get us down – the negative words others say seem to pierce our very being. We listen to the news or read the newspaper, and begin to think in a “doom and gloom” perspective. Sometimes, it is conditions that can get us down – our seeming lack of finances or challenges at home or on the job. Perhaps, we are dealing with an illness, whether our own or a loved one’s, and everything seems so dark.

There is no human being anywhere who does not have some problem which he or she is working on. But not one of these people is alone: God is always there. This is God’s world.

Often, things will get us down IF WE LET THEM. We have a choice: Are we going to think about the problem, or think about God? The problem often seems to stare us in the face and challenges us to think about it, dwell on it, to replay and magnify it, to deal with it until we are frozen in our tracks, afraid to move in any direction. When we view the problem in our minds, we view it through our human microscope. Then it seems huge, overpowering, overwhelming, and impossible to solve. Know that GOD IS BIGGER THAN ANY PROBLEM by speaking those very words frequently.

Instead of magnifying problems, see them as molehills rather than mountain-sized obstacles; remember that God is bigger than any molehill, or mountain. God Eternal will stand against the temporal. When God stands with us, we win.

Simply THINK ABOUT GOD INSTEAD OF THE PROBLEM.

The problem may shout, “Think about me!” “Think about me!” But if we are wise, we will turn away, turnaround, and think about God. Then the Divine floods our being, light fills the darkness, and our own minds begin to thaw from the frozen depths of fear. New ideas race in, and all the while, it is as if we have been plugged in to recharge. New power is now ours from God. Our minds see from a new perspective; we see our problem with 20/20 positive vision. We see it only as a minor challenge because WE ARE NOT ALONE! God is with us. THEN, AND ONLY THEN, DO WE DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM.

Too many people try to deal with their problems from their humanness alone. They are afraid and they feel overwhelmed and confused. Many people lack power because they drain themselves through Wasted Worry Thought. Do not spend time on W W T, spend time on G O D. The golden key that opens up any human life is: TO THINK ABOUT GOD – FIRST.

Always think about God first, before thinking about your problem. Act as God directs, speak as God directs, follow God’s guidance, and you are led through the maze of life with an uncanny perfection. GOD NEVER MAKES A WRONG MOVE.

Say this prayer, today, before thinking about any problem:

“God empowers, protects, surrounds, and infills me, right now. God radiates forth from me, clearing my way. My way is paved with the good of God; nothing but good awaits me and mine. My problem dissipates now before the radiant life of God. My mind and body, in all circumstances, are cleansed, renewed, and regenerated into newness of life. I proclaim with Jesus, “God and I are one.”

When you think about God instead of the problem, your life begins to change. YOU MAKE THE DECISION TO CHANGE THE CHANGEABLE WITH THE CHANGELESS.

God is always the answer, always the perfect way. Your humanness consents to an infilling of Divine power and mountains crumble.

When outer problems disappear, you may however, discover that your life still has some down moments, some low energy times, even some mild depression that you always believed was caused by your problems. You also make the discovery that you live in your mind – you perceive everything from your own perspectives within your own mind. Many people tried to escape this through vacations, or changing jobs, homes, and/or relationships. But because we live in our minds, we take our minds with us wherever we go. TIME AGAIN – TO GO TO GOD.

How do you go to God? Each day upon arising, PRAY AND MEDITATE and allow God’s silent power to infill you with strength of body and mind, as well as new happiness. Then, as you shower and dress, TALK TO GOD about what is on your mind, the agenda in your day, and place it in God’s mind.

If you are low on energy or down in spirit, GENERATE “UP” – begin to accelerate your spirit. At first, it may feel forced, but it will begin to flow automatically, filling and thrilling you with its power. It is truly the movement of God. People who generate “up” have quantum capacity for success in their day. God radiates in them, for them, and through them to others.

The most difficult part IS the human turning on of this God-empowered engine. Once started, it runs by itself, long into the night. Staying “up” is then easy. On down days, turn on your smile, turn on your love, turn on your “outgoingness,” and turn on your humor– even when you do not feel like it. Work at it – SPEAK POSITIVE PRAYER AFFIRMATIONS to yourself during this early period in the day – for about 20 minutes – until it becomes who you are. You will become the manifestation of all the “up-ness” of God. Before each meeting, or important work that needs to be done through you, speak this positive prayer affirmation: “I now exchange my human power for God’s power.”

You are never alone. God is always with you, and God is always up! A down world has no power against an “up” God!

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

God empowers, protects, surrounds, and infills me, right now. God radiates forth from me, clearing my way. My way is paved with the good of God: nothing but good awaits me and mine. My problem dissipates now before the radiant life of God. My mind and body, in all circumstances, are cleansed, renewed, and regenerated into newness of life. I proclaim with Jesus, “God and I are one.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I am empowered, positive, optimistic, and enthusiastic about my future in the upcoming year!

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: I don’t tell my problems to God, I tell my problems about God!

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 1, 2023 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart with new and right desires, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a new, obedient heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so you will obey my laws and do whatever I command.” Ezekiel 36:25-27

NEW Videos – see below

We begin this grand year with a blessing of prayer –

Feel the silence of God’s peace enfold your very being. Enfold yourself in the silence that is God’s strength. There are two kinds of strength: strength to endure, and strength to overcome. We pray for strength, for the strength to see us through every experience during the grandest days of our lives in 2023!

We see ourselves being supported and upheld by God. We are strengthened, sustained and carried through any difficulty by the very strength of our faith in God and our certainty that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble in 2023!

I pray today for you to have God-given strength. I pray for God’s strength to manifest through you. I pray for a new strength to come forth inside of you, strengthening every cell of your physical being and your mind, a strength that knows not to look to outer appearances but holds on firmly to the power of God.

2023 is the year of our Lord.

Rest in the silence of prayer.

God is your strength. Through God, your enthusiasm for life is renewed. You are happy. You are peaceful. You are strong. Through God, you have an enthusiasm as never before, an enthusiasm based on hope and the firm foundation that you are one with God. In God you live and move and have your being all of 2023.

You know that your life can be renewed. It is being renewed now. Every area of your life is seeing the light of day. The light of God is shining in and through it. It is an attitude that comes to you now, an attitude that allows you the privilege of being happy.

You are happy, not because of outer things, but because of what God is doing inside of you in 2023. You have a strength that brings peace, a peace that does not rely on outer conditions or worldly events, but a peace that is from the silence within you. You are strong. You stand upright and walk into the face of adversity because you know you are not alone. You know you are going to overcome anything that is in the outer. You are going to endure in 2023 with God’s special help and guidance.

Rest now in the silence. In the silence of prayer.

To endure is worthy. It is a mark of character. The enduring quality of the soul is to be praised. But we do not let the word endure be the keynote of our thoughts. Instead, we think of tomorrow, not as a time to endure, but as a time of spiritual transformation. We think of the word transform. We see in our lives those things that are negative as transitory. Only God is real and only God is enduring. We know that God’s transforming power can bring a miracle of change, a miracle of good, anywhere, anytime in any circumstance in 2023.

(Silence)

We know that the transforming power of God comes to uplift and is the way to our greater strength. We have the strength to know and believe that there is nothing hopeless or incapable of change in our lives. We have the strength to wait on God and to believe in God’s power as present. This Power is transforming and translating every experience into something new and wonderful in God’s day multiplied by 365 in 2023.

“They who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not be faint.”

Here is your strength – not just to endure, but to soar. You now have the secret of soaring strength – to wait on the Lord.

We pray. We turn to the Presence of God with us, knowing that God is our strength, our light, our joy and our peace. We wait upon the Lord and we are given, not just the strength to endure, but a new surge of life and energy to enter our tomorrows, a strength from the Infinite, a strength that lifts up and gives us wings of faith, a strength that fills us with enthusiasm, abundant life and exhilarating joy in 2023.

Rest in the silence of prayer.

God is your strength. Through God, your enthusiasm for life is renewed. You are happy, peaceful and strong. You are strong in the Lord and in the power of God’s might. You have the strength to endure. You have the strength to overcome. You have the strength for joy and for happiness. You have the strength to realize the power of Spirit.

Through you, God transforms your very being and your very own world in the great year of our Lord 2023.

In Jesus Christ’s name we so dedicate ourselves for the best tomorrows of our life in 2023.

Amen.

Positive Daily Inspiration – December 30, 2022 – Greatest New Year’s Resolution

Positive Daily Inspiration - December 30, 2022 - Greatest New Year's Resolution

“Let your steadfast love in your faithfulness keep me safe forever.”
Psalms 40:11

Perhaps, our greatest New Year’s resolution would be to love more in 2023.

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.

“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”

“Well,” said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, “These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.”

The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.

“I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”

“Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. “Here, Dolly!” he called.

Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.

The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.

Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up …

“I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers.

In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe.

Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”

With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup.

Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.

“How much?” asked the little boy … “No charge,” answered the farmer, “There’s no charge for love.”

The world is full of people who need someone who understands. Understand them. Love them.

Make this your main resolution for 2023.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills.
From whence cometh my help?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Psalms 121: 1-8

I love the Bible quote above. It talks of God’s blessing at the flood stage. It is God’s will for you.

2023 can be your turnaround year.

Follow the THREE KEY PRINCIPLES.
Often people ask how they could have the extra push to accomplish the great things that they dream of in life. Usually I answer, “By faith.”

When they say, “Be more specific,” I say, “By living and practicing THREE KEY PRINCIPLES.

FIRST KEY PRINCIPLE – God Is Your Source!

The Bible says, “My God shall supply all your needs according to God’s riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

You turn your life over to God and start looking directly and personally to God as THE source of your supply. Remember, it’s not What is your source, but Who is your source.

SECOND KEY PRINCIPLE – Give and It Shall Be Given to You!

Jesus said, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, running over, shall be given to you. For with the same measure that you give, shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38

Whatever you give becomes a seed that you plant for God to multiply back. But YOU initiate the action. In your God-given free will you initiate the movement.

You give first. You continually look for ways to give of your love, your talent, your time, and earnings – anything that represents you. You give until it becomes part of you … Giving in joy … Without grudging.

And God multiplies the gift given – back to you in the form of your personal needs. Receiving follows giving. A miracle follows believing. Breathing in follows breathing out. The harvest follows the seed sowing and soil tending. God who gives you the seed to sow is the One who multiplies the seed sown!

God gives you an opportunity to give, which, if you accept it, turns into an opportunity for you to receive 100 fold. The more you give the more you receive.

When I first got into ministry, I didn’t have very much money. That was my excuse for not giving money to my spiritual source, and certainly not tithing. When I learned this principle and started to give first, my whole life changed, almost instantly, for the better, I was blessed beyond anything that I can write in words. I can’t believe that it took me so long – but I thank God that I discovered it, I gave at depth, and started to live the non-ending abundant life, instead of a VERY limited life.

Give, in faith, not as a debt you owe – but as a seed you sow.

THIRD KEY PRINCIPLE – Expect a Miracle!

Just as you look to God is your source, and give to God as a seed of faith you plant, so you expect a miracle from God. Giving first ALWAYS brings a harvest. You CAN expect unbelievable great things. When you do your part and release your faith God will send the miracle.

This is the key point on which many people fail. They give, but they never expect God to give anything back. They have been taught that giving is an obligation … their Christian duty. Thus, they have developed a theological false modesty that violates every principle of life. They put a seed in the ground and expect a harvest but give to God and expect nothing!

My relatives were Ohio, and West Virginia farmers. Every farmer I knew, went into the field regularly to see how much the seed has grown and how soon they can send trucks in and collect the harvest. If they didn’t expect a return, they wouldn’t check the fields. And if they didn’t check the fields, the harvest could be there, but they wouldn’t know it.

Thus, it would be wasted, missed, and lost.

When you do your part, and release your faith, GOD WILL SEND THE MIRACLE. The New Testament puts it this way, “Surely blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying, I will multiply thee.”
Hebrews 6:14

This is why you must expect a miracle – so you will recognize it when God sends it and reach forth and receive it from God’s hand. Otherwise, it may pass you by.

Let’s look again at the powerful Bible quote I mentioned in the first principle:

“But my God shall supply ALL your need according to God’s riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

MY GOD … The Bible says that MY GOD shall supply all your needs. It doesn’t say that the government will do it. It doesn’t say that your job, or your business will do it. It says that MY GOD will do it. So if someone lets you down, it really doesn’t matter. Because God will never let you down. God often uses humans as the means, but God is the source. All other sources are instruments only.

SHALL SUPPLY … A need exists to be met. God SHALL SUPPLY all your need. SHALL is a strong word. The moment your need faces you, God’s SHALL SUPPLY promise goes into effect.

YOUR NEEDS – no matter what they are – are a legitimate claim you have upon God’s limitless resources to be met in full. You give God your best, and as God says in Luke 6:38, then ASK God for God’s best. This is scriptural. When done with sincerity, God moves.

ALL YOUR NEED … God doesn’t fragment your life into different parts. God is concerned with ALL YOUR NEEDS. No need should intimidate, or bully you. Whatever your need is – God comes to meet that need. You are plugged into God’s power. God will answer. You can expect a miracle – NOW – to meet your need.

ACCORDING TO GOD’S RICHES … God controls all sources of supply. BOTH THE EXPECTED AND THE UNEXPECTED SOURCES. If one sources wiped out, God will give you a supply from another if you look TO GOD as your source.

In human mind, our needs often falsely appear to exceed God’s abundance. But the truth is that God supplies us at the flood stage of good, in good times or bad times, God supply is ACCORDING TO GOD’S RICHES.

God’s riches ALWAYS equals, or exceeds, your every need.

EXPECT A MIRACLE!

Positive Daily Inspiration – December 28, 2022 – JOYFUL YEAR OF POSITIVE EXPECTATION

Positive Daily Inspiration - December 28, 2022

JOYFUL YEAR OF POSITIVE EXPECTATION

“Whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
Matthew 21:22

In my seminars on prayer I used to share with people to change the word “prayer” to “expectation.” Some people’s prayers are so negative, that they can do nothing but expect the worst. They pray mainly focused on what they do not want instead of the positive that they wish to expect. Expecting the worst blocks God’s good. Each person has free-will, and because of that, God does not force good upon you. Many times we lock ourselves in a self-imposed prison of concepts of doubt, worry, and limitation.

What are you expecting? The worst? The best?

I pray it is THE BEST. Placing your faith in God’s good is the key to the good life. To pray with expectancy is to pray with an assurance that each prayer will be answered by God in a positive way.

You pray with this expectancy this next year, knowing that all your needs will be met in the right time and the perfect way. As Jesus assured you, “Whatever you ask in prayer, you WILL receive, if you have faith!”

You EXPECT A MIRACLE!

Your expectation is grounded in your faith in God as the source of all your good. You expect that you are receiving abundance in your life. Your needs are being met.

You expect and accept that you were created to be healthy. Your mind is alert and enthusiastic. Your body is strengthened and filled with energy. Your joy is overflowing in your soul. The life force of God flows through you, nourishing and revitalizing each cell. With God as the source of your good, you expect and accept your good now.

This will be a year of joy. You expect joyful surprise. A small child looks at his or her surroundings with the joy of seeing great adventures. Everything is new and worthy of investigation. Nothing is too small or insignificant to be overlooked.

In 2023, you look at your world with expectant eyes. You find joy in the smallest task, because you delight in being a part of this great experience called life.

Joy is more than a state of mind. It is a state of expectation. When you are feeling the joy of spirit, it comes from deep within you and fills every part of you. Your inner joy is unshakable because it is founded in God.

Your joy comes from knowing that you are a child of God. You are connected, needed, loved. You are heir to all the beauty and wonder of God’s abundance and you expect it in your life.

Truly, this is reason enough to be joy-filled and expectant this next year.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Christ is shepherd over me.
Enfolding me on every side.
Christ will not forsake me, hand or foot,
Nor let darkness come near me.

In Jesus’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: God’s Spirit of joy, expressing itself through me, draws to me all that is needed to make my life complete in 2023.

Positive Daily Inspiration – December 27, 2022 – QUEST of DISCOVERY

Positive Daily Inspiration - December 27, 2022 - QUEST of DISCOVERY

“Seek first God’s kingdom and God’s righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.”
Matthew 6:33

Have you ever had a sudden, unexplainable feeling that there is more to life than you are experiencing? I know that I have, and that is probably why I gave my life to God to do ministry. Not everyone is supposed to do ministry, it was my particular path; but there are many paths of God.

Most of the time, God is calling you with an almost inaudible voice, calling you to a new quest of discovery. You must be a seeker on a quest to fully experience God.

You can choose to ignore the call, or you can begin the quest of the seeker and start to uncover the discovery that is meaningful and fulfilling for you. As a spiritual seeker, you are desiring more of God and the goodness of God in your life. You are seeking to follow Jesus Christ to make the great discoveries that He said you are entitled to make.

Life is more than just the school of hard knocks. There is a better and easier way to live life, and it is found through God.

The more you see God in your relationships, the more harmony and love you experience. The more you see God in your work, the greater work you will do. The more you see God in communion, the more sure you will be of yourself and your commitments.

What will you discover? As a seeker, you will discover a world of God’s good.

It is natural to think about the things that you want or need, and this is okay, for every good desire begins as a God-motivated, Divine idea. But in your enthusiasm for the good that is on its way to you, do not overlook the abundance of blessings that you already have. You are a child of God, a loving and generous parent.

Through an awareness of God, you not only enjoy this heritage, but also the gift contained within the day. What do you see when you look around you? Surely, there is nothing as enriching as viewing your life from eyes that are aware of the living presence of God.

The more you see God in your daily life, the more appreciation you will have for all that you have now, and you will desire to share your good with others. God’s awareness in every form is meant to be shared, and we are generous with others, as God is with us.

So, today, you are a seeker on a spiritual quest to discover more of yourself, more in daily living, more to life in general, by finding a closer relationship in your awareness with God.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Prayer Exercise: Time tithe back to God, 6 min. in prayer at the top of the hour, for every waking hour.

Set your cell phones to vibrate every hour to remind. (This is eyes open, when you’re working prayer.)

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I am a seeker on a spiritual quest to discover more of myself.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat.”
Napoleon Hill
