Many or Few

Many or Few
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount was spoken to a multitude (Matthew 5).
 
His message about living water was spoken to only one person at a well (John 4).
 
His message about being born again was also spoken to only one person at night (John 3).
 
The greatest Bible class ever taught was given by Jesus to only two men He had encountered on a dusty road (Luke 24).
 
Jesus talking with Moses and Elijah on a mountain top was only witnessed by three disciples (Mark 9).
 
When God gives you something to say or do—whether it be to a multitude, to one person, or to any number in-between…
Do it. Say it. 
Fully. Faithfully. 
It counts! It’s important! It matters! 
 
Even the things that go unseen or unknown by others, will always be seen and known by a divine audience. 
 
Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful (1 Corinthians 4:2 NIV).

My Morning Prayer: God Has Promised, Part 1

My Morning Prayer: God Has Promised, Part 1

-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

God Has Promised, Part 1
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
Know the promises: God has spoken promises to us. Those promises are recorded in Scripture so we can know what is in His heart toward us. His promises will keep us from praying amiss. His promises are not fleeting words of emotion, they are words of truth. Without the truth of His promises we could be overcome with superstition, timidity, and anxiety. It is because of His promises that we can live a life of freedom, confidence, and contentment.

Because of His glory and excellence, He has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share His divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires (2 Peter 1:4 NLT).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Good morning, God. Thank You for Your promises, so boldly written in Your Word, the Bible. Thank You that I can know Your heart towards me and all people. Thank You that we can know Your promises, and can pray them for protection against being overcome from superstition, timidity, and anxiety. It is because of Your promises that we can live a life of freedom, confidence, and contentment every day with You! Write Your promises upon my heart! In Jesus's name, amen.

Timely Tidbits of Truth 37

Timely Tidbits of Truth 37
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

In everything,
God can do anything…
But, one thing He cannot do,
is fail.
 
I will not…allow My faithfulness to fail (Psalm 89:33 NKJV).

Life’s Highest Purpose

Life’s Highest Purpose
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
God made you for Himself.
Knowing Him is your highest purpose.
Nothing about your life “just happened”.
Luck doesn’t define your existence.
Nothing about you is meaningless.
You are uniquely and wonderfully made by a wonderful, caring Creator!

Always remember, He saw all of your days before you lived one of them. You are here in His perfect time. Nothing can stand in the way of His plan for your life. Today, and in every tomorrow, He will be with you in goodness, and in faithfulness. Trust Him fully, follow Him completely, please Him whole-heartedly, and never look back. His best for you is still ahead!
 
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago (Ephesians 2:10 NLT).

My Morning Prayer: The Lord Is Near

My Morning Prayer: The Lord Is Near
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley


The Lord is Near
-Roy Lessin

What could be sweeter or dearer than to know that no one is nearer to your heart, your soul, or your deepest desires than the Lord. His caring eyes are upon you, His protecting hands are over you, His assuring voice speaks peace to you, His loving heart responds to you. You can come to Him in quietness and confidence, in faith, in hope, in trust, in thanks, in worship, in praise, and in prayer.

He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5 NKJV).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Good morning, God. Thank You for keeping Your eyes upon me, my life, and those I love. Thank You for Your hands showing Your involvement in my life. Thank You for Your love, and the way You show Your care for my heart, spiritually, romantically, and physically. I love that I can come to You in quietness, confidence, faith, hope and trust...in thanksgiving, worship, praise, and in prayer. Your presence is the best constant in my life, in this turbulent world, and in these crazy times. In all things, in all ways, I trust You and Your will for me. Thank You Lord Jesus. It's in Your name I pray, amen.
