Sanctify Me Lord, But Does it Have to be Right Now?

Posted by Nan Jones | Nov 28, 2021 | bible devotions online, Christian Living, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer, Recognizing God |

Lord, I know You have called me to be holy as You are holy — to represent You well. You have called me to be Your image-bearer to this fallen world. I long to be Your hands and feet, but I also know that requires sanctification. I want you to sanctify me Lord, truly I do — but does it have to be right now?

Sanctification requires dying to self, yielding to You at ALL times not just when it feel good. Being set apart for Your glory and for Your kingdom work requires pruning and sculpting … and LOTS of grace.

How to Have a Thankful Heart in the Difficult Places

Posted by Nan Jones | Nov 25, 2021 | bible devotions online, Christian Living, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, Recognizing God |

The evening sky burned with the fiery orange of a setting sun, reflecting the anguish within me. I watched as God’s consuming fire seemed to melt away the hard edges of the day. Colors intense. Brilliant. Ablaze. I found myself caught up in its glory while I wrestled with how to have a thankful heart in my difficult places.

My wrestling led me to the Lord.

Let Peace Rule in My Heart Lord. It’s a Free-for-All in There

Posted by Nan Jones | Nov 21, 2021 | bible devotions online, Christian Living, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, peace, prayer |

Lord, Your Holy Spirit within me has planted the seed of Your peace deep in the recesses of my heart. It’s there. But I must LET peace rule in my heart — You don’t force it on me.

Let. That’s a big word contained in just three letters.

It tells me that I have a choice — to let peace rule in my heart … or not. It’s up to me.

Wounds of the Heart Produce Bitterness or Fruit. It’s a Choice

Wounds of the heart can grow bitterness. Ugliness. Anguish, or distress.

Or … wounds of the heart can grow good seeds of grain, crushed to produce life-giving bread to feed others. Deep faith can grow with roots steady and strong. Eyes can open to see abounding grace and the abiding presence of the Lord.

It’s a choice.

Awaken the Dawn, Lord. It’s So dark, but You Are Light

Lord, steady my heart. Lead me in paths of righteousness for Your Name’s sake, for the world has gone mad and the darkness grows. Awaken the dawn, Lord …

Because of Your mercy and goodness, please awaken the dawn.

You are the Light of the world ! I am Your Light-bearer. Forgive me when I allow my light to grow dim.
