Where Would We Be Without Jesus?

Where Would We Be Without Jesus?
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing (John 15:5 NLT).

Without Jesus’s words we would be witnesses with nothing to say; Without Jesus’s authority we would be ambassadors with nothing to do; Without Jesus’s love we would be servants with nothing to give.

"I am not strong, but I receive Him who is made unto me wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. In absolute dependence on the Savior, we exemplify that growing sense of need that is one of the sure signs of the humble and contrite heart that God will not despise."  -F. B. Meyer

My Morning Prayer: Found in Him

My Morning Prayer: Found in Him
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley
 
Found in Him
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Jesus is above all things, and He transcends all things—being found in Him means that you have found completeness! Nothing is missing, nothing is lacking, nothing falls short, nothing fails, and nothing disappoints that is found in Him, for all that we find in Him is perfectly good, perfectly right, and perfectly wonderful.

I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him (Philippians 3:8–9 NKJV).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Thank You Lord for everything I find in You. Thank You for remaining above all things, and transcending all things—nothing is a surprise to You and You remain in control, even when all I see is confusion and crazy around me. Thank You for being the Peace in my storms, the Physician to my sickness and the Perfect One in all that is scattered around me. Lord, heal me, be at work in me and around me. I give it all to You, and acknowledge that it has all been Yours from the start. Teach me to leave it at Your feet and to not pick it up again. I want to gain You and be found in You this morning, and every moment of today. In Jesus's name, amen.

Timely Tidbits of Truth 42

Timely Tidbits of Truth 42
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Hope is tomorrow’s meal that we carry about in our grocery basket of faith. One day we will partake of its promise when we dine with our Lord at His table.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1 NKJV).

Not for Sale

Not for Sale
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters;
And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price (Isaiah 55:1 NKJV).
 
The good things God has for your life are not for sale. His riches aren’t. His fruits aren’t. His gifts aren’t, and His blessings aren’t. Yet, they are all available to you. Freely!
 
Your pockets may be empty, but your heart can be filled with heaven’s most valuable treasures.
 
Anything material you buy will not add an ounce of peace to your heart. Peace, and every kingdom treasure, can only come to your heart through the presence of the Holy Spirit. His treasures come to you because of grace. You receive them through faith. That is your currency. That is how you buy the things that are not for sale and last forever!

My Morning Prayer: Today, Choose the Best

My Morning Prayer: Today, Choose the Best
Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley
 
Today, Choose the Best
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

The best over the acceptable,
the right over the popular,
the true over the questionable,
the light over the shadowed,
the extraordinary over the mediocre,
the eternal over the momentary,
the pure over the tainted,
Jesus over all!

Choose today whom you will serve (Joshua 24:15 NLT).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father, as I sit with You this morning, help me to choose You and Your ways in every area of my life. Remind me of the eternal benefits of walking with You over the temporary and momentary pleasures of this world. I want to keep my gaze heavenward, my eyes fixed on our forever, together. Nothing in this world compares to You! In Jesus' name, amen.
