The Beauty of God

As gold comes from the northern mountains, so a terrible beauty streams from God. Job 37:22

The beauty of God is seen in His Power and Might.
A terrible beauty, O God, streams from your sanctuary. It's Israel's strong God! He gives power and might to his people! O you, his people - bless God! Ps 68:35 -
Bravo, God, Bravo! Everyone join in the great shout: Encore! In awe before the beauty, in awe before the might. Ps 96:7

God’s Beauty sets Him apart from all creation.
Royal splendor radiates from Him; a powerful beauty sets him apart. Ps 96:6

Each day is filled with the Beauty of the Lord
Just as each day brims with your beauty, my mouth brims with praise. Ps 71:8

Goodness and blessings flows from His Beauty.
Oh yes! God gives Goodness and Beauty; our land responds with Bounty and Blessing. Ps 85:12

His Beauty is clothed in love and loyalty to His people.
For God is sheer beauty, all-generous in love, loyal always and ever
Ps 100:5

We walk in the reflection of His great beauty day by day.
Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us - you've been so good to us! We're walking on air! Ps 89:17

Praise God for His Beauty.
Great and terrible your beauty: let everyone praise you! Holy. Yes, holy. Ps 99:3

His Beauty poured on me.
Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life. Ps 23:6

My Prayer
I'm asking God for one thing, only one thing: To live with him in his house my whole life long. I'll contemplate his beauty; I'll study at his feet. Ps 27:4

My Worship
I bow before the Beauty of God, on my knees – I worship! Ps 96:9 (Paraphrased)

My Thanks
I live my life in holy beauty to reflect His great glory. 1 Peter 3:2b (Paraphrased)

Anonymous said...: The problem with lengthy workouts is the fact that they generate the
chemical "cortisol". Cortisol is called the stress hormone.

When the body is below duress (or you encounter bodily, emotional or other stress) it releases cortisol into the body.
Cortisol relaxes the body but much more importantly (for fitness purposes) it reduces your body's ability to provide protein. Protein is crucial for muscle maintenance. (Source one and Source 2)

Today's Prayer

Father God In the name of Jesus our Savior we thank You and we praise You for the wonderful joy you give to our souls. We thank you Father for the joy You gives the world cannot take away from us. It is solid and lasting for it is from You O lord. the world often does not understand our joy for it knows You not. Your joy gives peace and comfort, it gives strength and hope. Your joy reaches to the innermost part of us and Lord we thank You. Praise to your name. Lord we thank You for Your word, even when it convicts us, for in this conviction we seek You even more Lord, for we know we stand in need of You. Lord help us to love with all our heart, soul and mind. Glory to Your Holy Name. In Your Loving Name Jesus we Pray.

A Vessel for God

If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special vessel (utensil) for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. 2Timothy 2:21

Arise Woman Of God

Rise up O woman of God In what He has given you

The things God has laid on your heart

Rise up, go forth, and do

Unlock what God has placed within

The potential you have inside

The world is waiting for your release

To expand your wings and fly

Arise in your God-given gifts

For this is your finest hour

Arise in the Lord’s holy might

Ignited and empowered

For God is calling you to come forth

To impact this world for Him

Don’t hold back or limit yourself

Let His power arise within

And take His message to the world

To those that have lost their way

for you can surely make a difference

If you’d hear His voice and obey

You shall be strengthened in the Lord

As you begin to arise

Conquering those doubts that pull you down

And believe who you are in Christ

For you shall surely be transformed

As, in you, God increases more

And become a woman of true excellence

Bringing honour to her Lord

© By M.S.Lowndes

Becoming A Woman Of Excellence

A woman of excellence

Is what I long to be

Filled with your godly wisdom

So it is part of me

A woman of integrity

No matter what I face

Standing up for righteousness

And for your saving grace

A woman of destiny

Living out your plan

Knowing where you’d have me walk

Being guided by your hand

A woman of promiseStanding on your word

Holding on to all the truths

While carrying out your work

A woman of compassion

For the ones in the dark

Those that do not know your love

And have darkness in their hearts

A woman that will never

Compromise the faith

With what the world may offer

But will keep the narrow way

A woman who loves Jesus

And will only follow Him

Gladly to give up the world

So His light can shine within

Lord this is my earnest prayer

As a daughter by your grace

Grow in me these qualities

As I walk with you in faith

© By M.S.Lowndes

Lord I Shall Mediate On Your Word

Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanders or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbnds, so that no one will malign the word of God. Titus 2:3-5

Reflect in your heart and be still. (Psalm 4:4)

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Colossians 3:9

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17

Spiritual Pearls

Faith- A woman of FAITH is a woman with courage knowing she can conquer all things with Christ. Living in FAITH means doubt is a foreign word to me. Each morning she calls on God. "give me a spirit of FAITH today."
Gentleness-The GENTLE woman lives from the inside out. She allows the Spirit of God to lead her with strength, confidence, and wisdom. Her power is not in being the center of attention. She moves softly in loving kindness, gently changing her world to become more like the kingdom. Each morning she arises and God hears her voices as she brings her requests, praying to no one but the Lord and waits expectantly for His still, quiet voice.
Grace- The woman of GRACE shines her favor on all crossing her path. She seek ways to be kind, and giving to others. Each morning she ask God to help her to give GRACE as He has so kindly bestowed His GRACE on her.
Humility- The woman of HUMILITY knows all she is, and all she does is because of God working and living in her. The Savior is HUMBLY living through her. HUMBLY waiting for her to speak, "Savior I invite You to take the lead and I HUMBLY give You the Glory."
Joy-The woman of JOY knows the Lord is the JOY of her Salvation. The world does not touch her soul no matter what it brings her way. Her JOY is in the Lord. Each morning she says to God, You are my JOY O'Lord and none other.
Peace- The woman of peace does not engage in any activity that promotes discord, chaos or confusion. She is the one who brings PEACE in the midst of trouble. Each morining she ask God for a spirit of PEACE.
Praise- A woman of praise knows God inhabits her praise. Each morning her lips flow with PRAISE and she says to God today Your PRAISE shall continually be upon my mouth.
Prayer- The woman of PRAYER seeks intimacy with God. Each morning she speaks, "Lord keep me in constant communication with You". Each night she says "Lord I thank You because I have been with Jesus all the day long."
Purity-A woman PURE is a reflection of God and His purity. Each moring she prays to the Father cleanse me of all sin, wash me in the precious blood of Jesus, that I may stand before you PURE.
Self Control- The Woman who has SELF-CONTROL is walking in control of all areas of her life. Each morning she speaks with Jesus asking Him to be Lord of her life controlling of her actions becoming a sweet aroma unto Him.
Truth- A woman of TRUTH lives her life honestly, with integrity. She is not fake, and lives authentically, even if she must speak TRUTH gently to those she loves and care about. Her soul will not allow her to live in any other way. Each morning she says to God. Let Your TRUTH flow from me today.
Worship- A woman of WORSHIP bows down her life to God. Each morning she bows down asking God to led her into WORSHIP, let every word, thought, act, step, be in WORSHIP to You, My Lord!

Words of God the Christ

"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule."You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you. "You're blessed when you're content with just who you are - no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought."You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat."You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'carefull,' you find yourselves cared for. "You're blessed when you get your inside world - your mind and heart - put right. Then you can see God in the outside world."You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family."You're blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God's kingdom. Matthew 5"3-10

Wisdom from Proverbs

The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. 11:25
To learn, you must love discipline, it is stupid to hate correction. 12:1
The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends. 12:30
A gracious woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth. 12:16
A person's wisdom yields patience; it is to one's glory to overlook an offense. 19:11
The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord that sheds light on one's inmost being. 20:27
To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. 21:3
A kindhearted woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth. 11:16
Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.25:24
A wife of nobel character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies, Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 31:10-11

Seeking Quietness

This is what the Sovereign Lord. the Holy One of Israel says: Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence shall be your strength. But you would have none of it. Isaiah 30:15

It's a good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from God. Lamentation 3:26 Message

Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands just as we instructed you before. Than people who are not christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depends on others. 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Thanksgiving-A Grateful Heart

In spite of my many faults I know God has forgiven me for every one- He is Just and if I confess He gladly forgives me and continues to do His good work in me, molding and shaping me for His good purpose. "But I will offer sacrifices to You with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the Lord alone." Jonah 2:19

3-Thanks is given for the skills and abilities God has blessed me. Allowing me to use them to bless/serve others.
