Daily Word:

Isaiah 64:4

“For from of old no one has heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who works and shows Himself active on behalf of him who [earnestly] waits for Him.”


Our God has been seen by people.

He has interacted with those in the Old Testament.

The names are too many to mention.

His works for them are many.

And then He shows Himself as a loving, caring, healing, and saving God in His Son, Jesus.

Jesus performed miracle after miracle for the people when He was alive.

He promised we would have the same ability.

And when the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, they were filled with the miracle working power as well.

Our God is a God of miracles.

My spirit was encouraged this morning as I read the simple verse above, “For from of old no one has heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who works and shows Himself active on behalf of him who [earnestly] waits for Him.”

Our God is active in our lives.

There is nothing He cannot do.

He is the Great I AM and is working on our behalf.

We may be in the middle of some difficult times in our lives, but He is working all the while on our behalf.

As I wait upon Him, He is working out every circumstance in my life.

Not because I need Him to, but because He has a plan.

He still desires our hearts – every heart.

He uses us to bring others to Him.

So, I surrender my will for His, continually.

There are things I desires and want, but His plan must prevail.

As I wait upon Him and His will, He works everything out. 

Today I choose to wait expectantly for the Lord work in my life according to His will and His perfect plan. 

May you find that God is active in your life and working out everything perfectly as you wait upon Him.


Daily Prayer:

O Lord, my God, thank You for being so present in my life. Thank You for working on my behalf to bring about Your plan for my life. Thank You for working every circumstance out perfectly. Help me to continually surrender my life and my will to Yours. Put Your desires in my heart so that I pursue Your will and not my own. Help me to do all that you ask me to do. I pray for joy in the work that is before me today. Help me attend to all that I have to do with joy. May I bring a song of joy to others as well. May we sing Your praises all day long. Help me to remember all the mighty works You have done in my life and praise You, Father. You are greatly to be praised! Help me take my eyes off of myself and set my eyes on You. Lord. You are Great and Mighty and Grace and Love. You are all things good. As I praise You and wait upon You, You are working on my behalf. May the burdens I carry be lifted today as You take them from me. Thank You, Lord, for being a resting place for my soul. Thank You for taking worry, fear, weakness, and apprehension away from me as You strengthen every part of my being. Thank You, Lord, for allowing me relationship with You, the Great I AM. I am unworthy, Lord, and yet, You count me as worthy. Help me bless someone this day. Thank You for hearing my prayer.

Answer: I AM working on every detail of your life, My child, and will always take care of you.
Response: You amaze me, Lord, that You would count me as Your child and care for me so perfectly.

We start a New Year! How exciting! Paul had just finished telling the Ephesians to put off their old nature. They had been run around by their feelings and desires. He told them to be renewed in their spirit. The Amplified Bible defines this to be “having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude.” As we say goodbye to this year, let us put on the new and leave the old behind. We have an opportunity to reflect on what to bring forward into this New Year.

This is a great message for the New Year. We can be in control of our own words. As a mother, I used to tell my children to use their words to explain what was happening in their minds. I tried to help them find the right words. Words that would help the situation and not make it worse. I must do the same thing when talking to them. It’s important to use words that do not damage their spirits. Words that lift up instead of tear down. Even though my children have grown, I still want to be careful how I speak to them because my worlds will impact them for the rest of their lives.

As we approach the New Year, it is a perfect time to take inventory of what part of our lives, our hearts, and our souls are not bearing fruit. What can we give up as this year comes to a close? What do we need to give to the Lord for His cleansing and pruning? The answers to these questions take time. Time with the Lord. We are creatures of routines and habits which serve us well. But we can also change our routines and habits to serve us and the Lord better. So, we can ask God to show us what He wants us to give up so that He can have more of us.

I cannot think of a better verse to meditate on as we approach the New Year. Jesus said, "the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]." For so many years I believed I had to wait to go to heaven to experience the kingdom of God. I have longed to step into heaven and meet the Lord and His Son. However, as we read the Gospels and study Jesus and all that He said, we begin to understand the kingdom of God is all around us. The kingdom of God is within.

Paul wrote to the Colossians and told them he was praying for them. He prayed they would be refreshed, renewed, and invigorated. He also prayed they would be strengthened. May his prayer be heard by the Lord God Almighty on our behalf today just as it was received two thousand years ago. God is the Source of all things beautiful and wonderful. There is no shortage of renewal, refreshment, or inspiration in His kingdom. And as the Creator of this universe, He continues to pour all good things into His people. Paul wrote that refreshment and strength are needed so we may have endurance.

This verse is the perfect verse to reflect on as Christmas comes to a close. The Lord sent His Son to us. He sent Him to this world as a babe. Jesus was given the task of growing up. A difficult one for all of us. He endured the awkward stages we all go through as we grow past them. I look back at old picture and cringe, yes, I cringe. This life provides plenty of opportunities to feel awkward and just plain weird, but our Father loves us as though we are perfect every day of our lives. This is why Jesus came. He came to make us perfect in God’s sight.

God made Himself flesh so He could take away the sins of the world. The story of the very first Christmas was humble, yet the most powerful and loving birth ever recorded in history. All humanity changed in an instant. When Jesus was born, love filled the earth. Love came down and lifted us up. The angels came to tell the shepherds of this beautiful birth. The stars in the heavens also told the story. As we do all tasks that we do to ensure a beautiful Christmas day, may we remember the miracle that God sent long ago. The miracle of all miracles.

The first Christmas was going to be documented, so that it could be read many times over for all Christmas’ to come. It was also documented so the prophecy of the Messiah’s birth would be known to be fulfilled. Prophets of old foretold Jesus would come from the house of David. They also prophesied that He would be born in Bethlehem. And all this came to pass. Even though Jesus would be known as a Nazarene, His beginning began in Bethlehem. God’s divine plan was set in motion with the first census while Mary was at the end of her pregnancy.

What a wonderful passage to read during Christmas week. Our passage touched my heart as I read it through the lens of Jesus’ birth. “It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself.” We have so much to be thankful for in these few short words, “restoring the world to favor with Himself.” So undeserved and yet so graciously given. We are offered favor with the Lord. Imagine having favor with the almighty God, the Creator of the universe. Jesus chose to leave heaven’s door where all was perfect. He chose to be born into this dusty messy world.

Jesus had just spoken to a fig tree and deemed it unworthy to live because it had no fruit on it. His disciples were amazed when they saw the fig tree wither and die. Then the Lord talked to them about prayer and belief. He told them that whatever they asked for, if they had the faith and belief, they would receive it. I remember the day I started hearing music and lyrics. I had just bowed my head at the piano and asked if the Lord would bless praise and worship music. As soon as I prayed that prayer, the Lord bestowed the gift of song writing upon me.
