APRIL 1ST FROM THE HEART A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL CALENDAR by HELEN STEINER RICE LET US SEE THE BEAUTY AND THE GLORY AND THE GRACE THAT SURROUNDS US IN THE SPRINGTIME AS THE SMILING OF GODS FACE. MY SOUL THIRSTS FOR GOD, FOR THE LIVING GOD. WHEN SHALL I COME AND BEHOLD THE FACE OF GOD? PSALM 42:2 TODAY, IF YOU REALLY LOOK, YOU CAN SEE GODS PRESENCE AND PRESENTS ALL AROUND YOU. THANK YOU, MY LOVE, FOR TRUSTING ME ENOUGH TO TEAR DOWN WALLS OF FEAR AND DOUBT. THANK YOU FOR OPENING WIDE THE DOOR OF YOUR WOUNDED HEART TO LET ME LOVE YOU. UNKNOWN STREAMS IN THE DESERT DAILY THOUGHTS FROM THE DEVOTIONAL CLASSIC by MRS. CHARLES E. COWMAN STAND STILL AND SEE THIS GREAT THING THE LORD IS ABOUT TO DO BEFORE YOUR EYES! 1 SAMUEL 12:16 FAITH LISTENS NEITHER TO PRESUMPTION...DESPAIR... COWARDICE, NOT TO PRECIPITANCY, BUT IT HEARS GOD SAY, STAND STILL, AND IMMOVABLE AS A ROCK IT STANDS. KEEP THE POSTURE OF AN UPRIGHT PERSON... AND IT WILL NOT BE LONG ERE GOD SHALL SAY TO YOU...GO FORWARD. PREPARING YOUR HEART FOR PRAYER MANS DESIRE TO APPROACH GOD IS IN EFFECT AN ADMITTANCE OF HIS INABILITY TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS DIVINE AID IS FORTHCOMING. THE MORE CONSCIOUS WE ARE OF OUR UTTER INABILITY AND WEAKNESS, THE GREATER THE INTENSITY OF OUR PRAYERS. -HERBERT LOCKYER- I HAVE COME TO MOUNT ZION, TO THE HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD, TO MYRIADS OF ANGELS, AND TO THE ASSEMBLY AND CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN, WHO ARE ENROLLED IN HEAVEN. I HAVE COME TO GOD, THE JUDGE OF ALL MEN, TO THE SPIRITS OF RIGHTEOUS MEN MADE PERFECT, TO JESUS THE MEDIATOR OF A NEW COVENANT, AND TO THE SPRINKLED BLOOD THAT SPEAKS BETTER THINGS THAN THE BLOOD OF ABEL. HEBREWS 12:22-24 SINCE I HAVE A GREAT HIGH PRIEST WHO HAS PASSED THROUGH THE HEAVENS, JESUS THE SON OF GOD, I WILL HOLD FIRMLY TO THE FAITH I CONFESS. FOR I DO NOT HAVE A HIGH PRIEST WHO IS UNABLE TO SYMPATHIZE WITH MY WEAKNESSES, BUT ONE WHO HAS BEEN TEMPTED IN EVERY WAY, JUST AS I AM, YET WITHOUT SIN. THEREFORE, I WILL APPROACH THE THRONE OF GRACE WITH CONFIDENCE, SO THAT I MAY RECEIVE MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED. HEBREWS 4:14-16 BEFORE HIS DOWNFALL THE HEART OF MAN IS HAUGHTY, BUT HUMILITY COMES BEFORE HONOR. PROVERBS 18:12 LORD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR INCOMPARABLE GREATNESS AND FOR JESUS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT. I THANK YOU THAT HE IS MY GREAT HIGH PRIEST, AND THIS DAY I CHOOSE TO WALK IN HUMILITY RATHER THAN ARROGANCE. MAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST BE WITH US TODAY AND ALWAYS. IN CHRIST NAME WE PRAY, AMEN.
