Friday's Inspiration

Good morning! This is another day that the Lord has made and it is another wonderful opportunity to offer our praise to God. I attended a Community Revival on Tuesday evening and the Minister reminded us of the need to be THANKFUL. I was reminded of the importance of celebrating God for who He is rather than just celebrating the blessings that He provides for each of us on a daily basis.

I have sensed the presence of God reminding me of the provisions that He has prepared for each of us. Someone in our church family felt led to share with me the song Nothing But The Blood. I listened to the song several times as well as other songs that talked about the blood of Jesus being shed for my sins as well as the sins of every human being. I was overwhelmed by the presence of God as He reminded me of the PRICE that was paid for my spiritual freedom. We need to remember that our salvation cost Jesus His life and now we are able to be included in the family of God because He was willing to pay the price for EACH OF US!! Isn’t that an AMAZING FACT?

We live in a culture that tries to lure us away from the presence of God. The enemy seeks to draw us away from God and in doing so we begin to look at other options to meet the needs of our life. The words of this song were dropped into my spirit this morning. Some of you may remember this song while others may not. Let these words sink deep into your heart today as you reflect on the mercy and love of God.

“The world will try to satisfy that longing in your soul, You may search the wide world over but you'll be just as before. You'll never find true satisfaction until you've found the Lord, For only Jesus can satisfy your soul. Only Jesus can satisfy your soul And only He can change your heart And make you whole; He'll give you peace you never knew Sweet love and joy and Heaven too, For only Jesus can satisfy your soul.” (Lanny Wolfe) 

JUST REMEMBER that ONLY JESUS CAN SATISFY YOUR SOUL!!
