"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

All

Sometimes the Holy Spirit removes the scales from our eyes and allows us to see things that have been there all along. On this day, the word that has jumped off of the page is "all". I feel compelled to share some things that have leaped from the scriptures and have landed in my heart.

Psalm 145:13b - The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made.

vs 14 - The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.

Matthew 6:33 - Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you (another way to say added unto you is "given to you as well").

Psalm 91:9 - If you make the Most High your dwelling.... even the Lord, who is my refuge.... (vs 10) Then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. (vs 11) For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.

Philippians 4:19 - My God will supply all your needs, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
(vs 7) And the peace of God, which passes (transcends) all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Those are just the verses that I saw on this day. I am sure that I did not even begin to see all of the hundreds of "all verses".

Prayer from a thankful heart:

1) Lord, thank you for all of Your blessings.

2) Thank you for being faithful to keep all of your promises.

3) Thank you for giving me strength to do all things.

4) Thank you for supplying all of my needs. Help me to remember the difference in a want and a need.

5) Even though I still have an occasional "meltdown moment", thank you for giving me a peace that goes beyond all understanding during these days of tremendous change in my life.

"You are my strength when I am weak, You are the treasure that I seek; You are my all in all. Seeking you as a precious jewel, Lord, to give up I'd be a fool; You are my all in all. Taking my sin, my cross, my shame, Rising again I bless Your name; You are my all in all. When I fall down, You pick me up; When I am dry, You fill my cup; You are my all in all."

In all things, worthy is Your name!!
