God Meets all of Our Needs
.He giveth to the beast his food, [and] to the young ravens which cry. Pslams 147: 9
God is a God who provides for us. He provides for the animals and the birds which cry. God who is bigger than this entire universe. He is a God who provides all of our needs.
Matthew 6:33 says it this way:
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
If God can grandly array a beautiful lily of the field and take care of the least to the greatest that He Himself has created we have no need to doubt His ability to take care of us. If in meekness we can remember who God is and trust Him He can to the impossible. Impossible becomes I'm possible if we show our faith in our actions. Regardless of what things look like God is in control!
Set your mind with the knowledge that God calls the stars by name.
If He knows the stars He knows your name. He knows the hairson your head and He cares for you!
God has always wanted to supply our needs. In the book of Genesis God created a garden with food, oxygen, fellowship and Himself. It is God's desire to supply all of our needs. As a result of the fall of man the Best state of life that man could ever experience had been exchanged for the worst state of life that man could ever experience. The worst state of mind including fear and doubt have corrupted the mind of man and separated Him from an all powerful never changing, peace giving God.
As a result of sin man lost their Garden experience and today we can experience God's best through faith in Jesus christ. Everything that you need can restored by being in relationship with God. God is the source and has always been the source of our need.
So be encouraged. if you put all of your trust in God all of your needs will be met! Trust God with your life and He will meet all of your needs!
Be encouraged!
Let your day be filled with the Love of Christ!

God Will Bless You: Encouragement for the Faithful!
Rhapsody Daily Post
God Will Bless You: Encouragement for the Faithful!
The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. Psalms 147:6
Today's encouragement is for the faithful!
An important truth to remember is that God lifts up the meek and kicks the wicked down to the ground. The opposite of meekness is arrogance and pride. The meek God exalts, but the prideful God puts down.
Meeknes is remembering who God is in the eyesight of man. It's understanding that God is the creator and control of the whole earth and that your life lies in His and only His hands. It's operating your life in such a way that points to God as your only true source of life, peace, joy success and produvctivity.
So be Encouraged. Those who recognize God for who He is will be liffted up. In the Hebrew that simply means
Lifted Up-to return, repeat, go about, do again
God is goint to do it again for you. God will show you who He is like He has in the Pass! Be patient trust Hima nd wait on Him.

God Knows Your Name!
Rhapsody Daily post
God Knows Your Name
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by [their] names.Great [is] our Lord, and of great power: his understanding [is] infinite. Psalms 147:4-5
God's knowledge exceeds the distance it will take for you to reach or name every star! God's wisdom, understanding and knowledge is endless, limitless, never ending, vast, inestimable. Not only can God number the stars, He calls them by name.
If I were to set out on the goal or achievement of finding every star it would take a thousand of my life times. God's Wisdom is so beyond ours it is amazing why we doubt Him or ever cease to trust or believe in Him. The wisest man that ever lived can not come close to the KNOWLEDGE, KNOWING Power of God.
I have one statement for you. Attach your problems to God and you will have limitless knowledge how to navigate through them. And the problems that exceed your ability fix God can and will fix them.
When God places His supernatural power inside of your limited brain you become a force to be reckoned with. Remember God does not live on the side of wrong. God hooked up with a willing submitted vessel equates a powerful Human being whose mind has been transformed into a mind full of Love, compassion, stability and confidence. God plus you equals the best you possible. So be encouraged. With God on your side success is inevitable.
The choice is yours. Tap into the limitless connection of Wisdom that God is and be the Best you, you can ever be!
The problem that you are facing is no match for an all knowing, all powerful, and present everywhere at all times God.
Be Encouraged,
Let your day be filled with the Love of Christ!

God is a Repairer of The Breaches
Rhapsody Daily Post
God is a Repairer of The Breaches!
The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.Psalms 147:2-3
As we as believers enter into this daily walk and decision to serve God we must remind ourselves of the many benefits that come with serving our God. The world can send many distractions our way to cause us to forget who our God truly is. The world always presents a false model of the best that only God can give.
According to Psalms 147 God is a God that heals, makes whole and is a repairer of the breaches in our lives. A breach is a broken spot in a bridge or can even represent the holes in our hearts. God is the one person who makes us whole and complete. He fills all of the breaches. He fills the emptiness inside of us through the indwelling of His Spirit. He supernaturally repairs our broken hearts and brokeness that we encounter from hurts, including rape, molestation, abandonment, and emotional/verbal abuse. God is the God of reconciliation.
He is a God that renciles us back to right relationship with and heals our relationships with loved ones. He teaches us how to build successful relationships with co-workers, friends and family. God will repair the way that you think. He will take a perverted or twisted, and deformed mind and make it formed properly. He will take your spiritual disfigurement and make you whole or well figured. It is God's desire for you to be the best you that you can possibly be. So rest assured that if you give God all of your brokeness He will beneficially make you whole again. God can heal you if you let Him.
Today I encourage you to give the broken pots of your life and watch Him patch them up, fill them till they overflow and supply some one elses need. He is the potter and we are the clay. Allow God to remold you. Let Him put you back together the way He desires to. Let Him build you and fashion you the way; only the one true Creator can.
Be Encouraged,
Let your day be filled with the Love of Christ!
Be Blessed!

Encouragement for Leaders! God is a Present Help!
Rhapsody Daily Post
This week God has led me to encourage those who are going through the kind of test that daily encouragement is NECESSARY! This is for the person who it seems that you have had Davidic experience all of your life. This is for the person who just like David finds yourself constantly in battle! You are the one who God has under constant weight training. You are always lifting a weight of trial that you must sacrifice yourself on the altar of God to give to Him so that He can pull out and put in you what is necessary. This encouragement is for the levite. This is for the servant of God who not only fights their own battles but also is involuntarily or voluntarily brought into the battles of others!
Psalms 46:1-5, 10-11
To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.]] God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
There is] a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the most High.
God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, [and that] right early.
Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah.
The word present in this particular passage means
to be encountered, be lighted upon, be discovered
So Levites, Ministers, Leaders of any kind TODAY BE ENCOURAGED! God is bringing you through this place so that He can build the necessary strength that He is going to need for you to have in your next place of Glory. Yesterday's Battle was for today and today's battle is for your tomorrow. Yesterday's battles is your ministry, oil, and energy for today! In your last battle you had to do some spiritual push ups in order to get to this place and hopefully in your last battle you praised your way to another level in God. So Know that just like God was with you in your last battle He is with you in your current struggle. This struggle is empowering you, it's setting you up for another level of faith, another level of endurance, another level of wisdom, and another level of Grace to complete future assignments.
Leaders don't let frustration or flesh keep you from your PROMISE! Yesterday's struggle was your escort into today's PROMISE! Remember that the Lord of Hosts, (The Lord of an army of angels) is with you fighting this battle on your behalf. So BE ENCOURAGED because God is with you through it all!. He is PRESENT in the time of TROUBLE!
Let the Love of God fill your day!

In the place of mistrust, rejection and issues will be freedom, deliverance and productivity; because productivity can only come to a free mind that is free from fear, hate, and an unstable mind.
g) to be found sufficient, be enough
Point 6: God is enough and will show you that He is enough to carry you through any Hell! Trust Him to lead and guide you through your valley!

God is With You Always
You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Today’s encouragement comes from Psalms 139. If you have ever been in a test where you felt as if you are mistaken or not discerned properly you can feel hurt and desirous of isolation. Do not fret! Even in your season of the pain of being mistaken God is with you. God is with you when you are talked about, mistreated, suffer or seem to be under continual trial TRUST GOD. God is with you in your Darkest Moments. So today be encouraged that regardless of what place you are in whether it is dark or light, high or low, God is with you.
Also remember that you have the ability to set your environment to the Thermostat Temperature that you desire for it to be. Regardless of what is going on around you let your praise be your weapon!
When others deny you, reject you, and mistreat you remember that God knows and He also knows you and He is with you in the middle of it all!
And while you are going through tune your ear to Him so that you can hear how you are to manuever through it. God is making you through the crushing process! So while you are being crushed Praise God! Give Him your best yes so that He may get glory out of your life.
Also remember that you have the ability to set your environment to the Thermostat Temperature that you desire for it to be. Regardless of what is going on around you let your praise be your weapon!

Rhapsody Daily Post:His Grace is Sufficient!
Rhapsody Daily Devotional
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
In life there are many seasons and times that we operate in. In my life there have been times when I have been with out food, transportaion, caring for a sick loved one, depressed, broken hearted, abused, misused, mistreated and afflicted in many ways. I had to rely on God's Grace, power, strength and ability to carry me through.
As a new believer one of the first challenges I came to experience was self guilt. It was difficult for me to grasp the fact that it was by Grace through faith that I was saved. I felt that every time that I messed up or failed to honor a scripture that I just wasn't saved any more. But the Bible declares that:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
It took repeating such scriptures and studying my bible and encouragement from veteran saints to help me come to the realization that all God desires is our best. God knows that in this flesh dwells no good thing and that it would take a process of sanctification and growth for me to be delivered from certain vices and mind sets. As I continued in prayer, fasting, reading my word over a period of time I found myself no longer having the same challenges as I once had before.
I grew from impatience, lack of loving, not controlling my temper to allowing the fruits of the spirit to develop in my life. The truth is that we all come to the Lord with challenges, vices and issues. If we don't stay prayed up old man adam or our flesh can take control and cause us to live a life style of sin.
That's why it is important to live by Grace and allow God's spirit to reign supreme in our lives daily. If we do our part through prayer God can deliver us and take us from glory to glory.
As we live the more challenges and tests we get and the more God shows us where we need to grow and how far we have developed. Sometimes we need a refilling and need to go back to some first works of prayer and fasting.
God uses situations to expose where we are so that we may further develop. As long as you have a repenting heart God can show you where you are in error and show you how to move from where you are.
But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2 Peter 3:18
We are to grow in grace!
What is Grace?
grace
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6
When we cast our cares, worries, weaknesses, fears, troubles on God He will answer our prayers and give us the Grace, wisdom and divine power to endure.
The race is not given to the strong nor the swift but they who endure till the end.
So be Encouraged God's Grace is sufficient to carry you through any struggle, storm, situation or circumstance. The battle is not yours it belongs to the Lord! Rest in God's ability to carry you through, to teach you and guide you. To give you the ability to do a work and the wisdom how to complete any God given assignment! Now Trust Him.
Let your day be filled with the Love of Christ!
Be Blessed!

Grace is the power of God through His spirit that is afforded to us By Jesus' death on the cross and the indwelling of Holy Spirit in the inner man to do the will of God.
Grace is the supernatural power and ability to be sustained in trial and tribulation by the power of the Holy Spirit.
It is Holy Spirit who gives us joy, patience, love, kindness meekness and gentleness through trials and tribulations.
When we allow God's pirit to lead and guide us through trials and tribulations God is able to develop the fruit of the spirit in us and through the process of crushing take us from Glory to Glory. When we choose God's GRACE or supernatural ability to strengthen us even when we are weak God will carry us through our dificulties.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29
If we exchange our burdens for God's responsibility, leaership, teaching, wisdom, understanding and guidance He will give us how to rest in faith in Him and He will supply us with the Grace to get through any trouble.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6
When we cast our cares, worries, weaknesses, fears, troubles on God He will answer our prayers and give us the Grace, wisdom and divine power to endure.
The race is not given to the strong nor the swift but they who endure till the end.
So be Encouraged God's Grace is sufficient to carry you through any struggle, storm, situation or circumstance. The battle is not yours it belongs to the Lord! Rest in God's ability to carry you through, to teach you and guide you. To give you the ability to do a work and the wisdom how to complete any God given assignment! Now Trust Him.
Let your day be filled with the Love of Christ!
Be Blessed!
