Here is the weekend meditation

ALL

Having a Jewish wife who loves Jesus is cool.

So, for our family Friday evening means lighting of candles...

My wife prays over the Shabbat candles and blesses us. Then by faith as we share bread and wine we enter into the 'Rest of GOD' the LORD promises His people.

• It's a joy.

• Special.

• Never missed.

In the same way I pray this weekend’s meditation will bless you too.

The meditation is...

'The ALL of GOD'

Having it 'ALL'.

Or if you've lost anything in the past... how to get ALL of it back.

Because all of us have lost something.

And all of us get hurt by life.

The secret is getting healed enough to love another day.

Remember too...

Even David, the great giant slayer lost everything.

Yet GOD would not let him soak in misery and self-pity.

No.

Instead, the LORD demanded he pursue his robbers.

He promised David that... "'WITHOUT FAIL' he would RECOVER ALL."

(1 Sam 30:8 NKJV)

So...

David got on with it despite HURTING LIKE HELL with his own men wanting to kill him because he lost their families too.

Yet he believed God.

Got on his horse...

And pursued the raiders who stole his family and all his wealth.

The scripture records what happened next...

"David recovered ALL"

1 Sam 30:18

And so can you.

Now to this weekend’s scripture for you.

ALL.

Bless the Lord, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

3 Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases.

PSALM 103: 1-3

Mull these truths over this weekend.

Reflect on them deeply.

Say with me...

"I am forgiven ALL my iniquities."

"I am healed of ALL my diseases."

Imagine yourself actually living in these blessings. Claim them for yourself now. And especially if they seem almost impossible.

Jesus promises you...

"If you can believe, ALL things are possible to him who believes."

Mark 9:23 NKJV

Remember too...

Jesus said whatever you ASK in His Name He will do it for you (John 14:14).

His conditions?

"If you ABIDE in Me, and My words ABIDE in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."

John 15:7 NKJV

This is how to access 'The ALL of GOD'

And the secret to unlocking ALL of GOD in your life never changes.

The secret is giving Him ALL of you first.

Psalm 103:1 again makes this very clear…

"Bless the LORD ALL my soul.

And ALL that is within me, bless His Holy Name."

• All my soul

• All that is within me.

• You get all his benefits...

• Forgiven all your iniquities

• Have all your diseases healed

Meditate on these things.

Give (ALL) yourself wholly to them and see what Jesus does for you in return.

Have evil raiders stolen your family, your spouse, your future, your health or anything else dear to you?

The WORD of GOD says this...

"Pursue them. You will without fail, RECOVER ALL."

(1 Sam 30:8)

The secret is GIVING all of YOU.

Blessings.
