Daily devotion with Ellen

Sometimes it takes a mountain Sometimes trouble ceased Sometimes it takes a desert To get a hold on us But Your love is so much stronger Whatever troubles comes our way Lord we trust and believe in You Proverbs 3: 5-6📖 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight

God is still in control of this world in spite of a apparent triumph of evil.  God doesn't overlook sin.  One day He will rule the whole earth with perfect justice.

What we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words and actions. Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.  Philippians 4:8 🌿📖🌿📖🌿

No matter how we fall You pick us up again You have removed our shame You take us as we are You call us justified Now we are covered by your Grace More than anything, the Bible makes it clear that  ❤️“God is love”❤️ (1 John 4:8).  He isn't just loving, but he is the very definition of love.  He loves us because he created us.  His affection is unconditional

God will sometimes stretch you beyond your natural comfort zone, often requiring you to do things you don't want to do, and give away the things you cherish  most.  It is not His intent to deprive you, but to get you beyond having dependence on anything other  than Him.  If God requires something that seems sacrificial, I encourage you not to allow your mind to reason away this wonderful opportunity to know Him better. Trust me, there is nothing you can give that is greater than what God will give you in return. -freeda bowers Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight ❤️

When God looks at us, He is more interested in our hearts than our height, the state of our soul than the structure of our face.   He doesn't see us as too old, too young, too small, or too big.   He zeroes in on the things that matter- our response to His love for us and our concern for other people (Mt.22:37-39). 2 Chron. 6:30 says that God alone knows the human heart.   When the God who has done so much for us looks at our heart, what does He see? - Jennifer Benson Schuldt "The true measure of a person is what's in the heart"❤️

🌸The fruit of the spirit does not manifest in your life simply because you desire it; it comes through a work of the Holy Spirit within your soul.   It is important that you be aware of the fruits of love, joy, peace, patient , kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control in your life is displaying to others.   Are you exhibiting each of the nine fruits of the spirit in your daily life?  - freeda bowers Jesus says: My Father's glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples.   John 15: 8

FROM THE FATHER'S ❤️ My child, you are often confused about who I am and where you are going.  When you arise in the morning, I am there with you.  When you work through the day, you will find Me close by.   From the time you open your eyes until you close them in the night, I am always with you, ready to guide you.   Do not worry about knowing how you fit into my plans.  Be concerned only with knowing Me and spending time together.   Your future is in My hands. -Rebecca Barlow Jordan Rev. 21:6 "I am the Alpha  and the Omega, the Beginning and the End"

The world proposes two entirely different ways to keep score.  One of them leads to pride and selfishness.  The other leads to humility and God-centeredness.  Let's follow Jesus' example of humble service!  - Mike Wittmer

🌈Elohim is the Hebrew word for God that appears in the very first sentence of the bible. When we pray to Elohim, we remember that he is the one who began it all, creating heavens and the earth and separating light from darkness, water from dry land, night from day.  Elohim, the plural form of El, is used not to indicate a belief in many gods but to emphasize the majesty of the one true God.  This ancient name of God contains the idea of God's authority and sovereignty. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Gen. 1:1 What do you think it means to be created in "the image of God"?  How would your life change if you lived with the constant awareness that he created you to bear his image? - Ann Spangler

Humility Brings Wisdom Most fights aren't about policy & principle, or about right or wrong; they're almost always about pride.  "Pride leads to conflict". Quarrels are fuelled by pride, by needing to be right, by wanting our way, or by defending our turf or our egos.  On the other side, wisdom resides with the well-advised-those who listen & learn, those who allow themselves to be instructed.  There is wisdom in those who allow themselves to be instructed.  There is wisdom in those who humble themselves - those who set aside their own selfish ambition; who acknowledge the limits of their own understanding; who listen to other person's point of view; who allow their own ideas to be corrected.  This is the wisdom from God that spreads peace wherever it goes.  - David Roper Where there is strife, there is pride,  but wisdom is found in those who take advice.  - Proverbs 13:10

🙏Prayer is not bending God to my will, but it is bringing my will into conformity with God's will, so that His works may work in and through me  - E Stanley Jones
