The Sweetest Reminder

June 14, 2019June 23, 2019 The Manna Chef

This morning as I was walking and enjoying a brisk breeze outside, I asked our Father, “What will You have me to say to Your daughters today?” He did not respond immediately, so I continued to walk and just breathe Him in. (Have you taken a moment to just breathe Him in? If not, you should try it today. Stop everything, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Open yourself to His presence.)

I simply waited, listening for that still voice, and God’s response made my heart smile. He said, “Tell them that I love them, I see them, and I hear them.” Such simple words, but my heart is so full right now. That led me to Jeremiah 31:3:

The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”

I know that God loves me, really loves me. I do. He has shown me that in the most awesome ways throughout my life. The fact that His love is everlasting is truly amazing to me, because I am not deserving of that love. But His love is not based on what I deserve; it’s based on Who He is. He truly has drawn me to Him—even this morning, I could feel Him all around me. But His message today was not just that He loves us.

I pray right now for my sisters who are moving forward into achieving their goals and dreams as You manifest their visions. Give them clarity of thought and instruct them on how to proceed as they fulfill the goals You have set in front of them. Let it be as simple as having a cup of coffee.

Peace, the Road to Rest

August 24, 2016June 21, 2019 The Manna Chef

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23

Our theme for today is PEACE.

Peace: a state of tranquility or quiet; freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions

The work of righteousness will be peace,

And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.

My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation,

In secure dwellings, and in resting places (Isaiah 32:17-18, NKJV)

And the effect of righteousness will be peace [internal and external], and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever.

My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places. (Isaiah 32:17-18, Amp)

Righteousness leads us to peace and peace leads us to rest. The place of rest is both spiritual and physical. You can find yourself in chaotic environments and not be affected because you’ve found your way to the secret place of peace in God. Psalm 91 reminds us: He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” God is our refuge and fortress, our ever-present help in times of trouble. He is always there. That is why we can have peace in the midst of our storms, because we know Who is in control at all times.
