    PASS THE BREAD

    “Watch for the breadcrumbs the faithful have left along the path.” We will be discussing how God can use the messes and mistakes of our life go help minister to others. Only God can create messages out of our messes. This was such a great reminder of His greatness! I pray this blesses you in Jesus name! 🙏🏼 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Hebrews 12:1 KJV 12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 KJV 12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. Psalm 71:18 KJV 18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 KJV 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. Psalm 145:4-5 KJV 4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. ~Today’s devotional comes from the book “5 Minutes with Jesus. Quiet time for your soul” by Shelia Walsh with Sherri Gragg~ YouTube link: https://youtube.com/@delightfullysoutherndevotional Hello friends!! A little back story on these devotions. I’m an avid thrifter and I love old books. One day while out, God placed an old book in my path. I had no idea how this little book would completely take me to a new place in God and with my life. I shared the book with my YouTube family and they ask me to share readings from it with them. God began to stir in me about doing just that. After a bit of conflict from some on my main channel, (they didn’t like the “devotionals”), I called out to my prayer warrior friends. After much prayer, I started a completely new channel devoted to all things God!! I read a “conversation/ prayer” from this book God put in my path and He gives me the words and interpretation. So what is the book? It’s an older book copyright in 1968. The title is “I’ve got to talk to somebody, God” a woman’s conversations with God by Marjorie Holmes. I pray over each reading and God shows which one to read. I truly hope each one blesses you! https://linktr.ee/delightfullysouthern

    AS A MOTHER COMFORTS HER CHILD

    “If you fall, He’ll be right there!” *** DON’T LET THE TITLE FOOL YOU. This is a great devotion!*** Wow!! What an amazing devotion. I always pray for God to have His way. I always want to be a willing vessel. With all that said, I never “plan” what I will say during these devotions. I just want God to have His way and I don’t want to interfere with that by having a “planned” speech. Today, God took this in a direction that even surprised me!!! I pray this blesses you in Jesus name! 🙏🏼 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Isaiah 40:1 KJV 40 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Isaiah 40:9 KJV 9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Isaiah 40:11 KJV 11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Isaiah 40:27-28 KJV 27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? 28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. Isaiah 40:29-31 KJV 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ~Today’s devotional comes from the book “5 Minutes with Jesus.

    THE SONG OF CREATION

    “Through the beauty of His creation, God songs over is.” Have you ever stopped to soak up the beauty of God’s creations? Have you ever went down the “mental rabbit hole” of who God truly is? We will be talking about this today. This devotion is such a beautiful reminder from our God of who He is. I pray this blesses you in Jesus name! 🙏🏼 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Psalm 8:3-4 KJV 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Romans 1:20 KJV 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Psalm 98:7-9 KJV 7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together 9 Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. Psalm 95:4-5 KJV 4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. 5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ~Today’s devotional comes from the book “5 Minutes with Jesus.

    THE LORD IS OUR PROTECTOR

    “Today I will listen for the Lord’s voice and trust that He is watching over me.” Today’s devotion is such a sweet reminder that Theresa Lord truly is our protector. He is faithful. We have wonderful scripture to back this too. I pray you feel His presence all around you and His protection. I pray this blesses you in Jesus name! 🙏🏼 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: 2 Thessalonians 3:3 KJV 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. Psalm 121:6 KJV 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. Psalm 91:9-10 KJV 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Psalm 121:7 KJV 7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. Proverbs 1:32-33 KJV 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ~Today’s devotional comes from the book “5 Minutes with Jesus.

    PERMISSION TO STOP PRETENDING

    “Turn your focus from pretending to humility…from yourself to Majesty and Perfect Love” Today, we will be discussing the importance of humility in the sight of the Lord. I pray this blesses you in Jesus name! 🙏🏼 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: 2 Samuel 22:28-29 KJv 28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. 29 For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness. Psalm 25:9 KJV 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. James 4:6 KJV 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Psalm 32:9 KJV 9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. Ephesians 4:2 KJV 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ~Today’s devotional comes from the book “5 Minutes with Jesus.

    A BROKEN VESSEL

    “God is in the business of healing broken hearts! “ Today’s devotion was another moving one for me. If you are going through a painful time, if you feel broken, then this is your reminder. I will be sharing encouraging scripture to support what is discussed. I pray this blesses you in Jesus name! 🙏🏼 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Psalm 34:19 KJV 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. 2 Timothy 4:17-18 KJV 17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Isaiah 61:1-2 KJV 61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; Psalm 147:3 KJV 3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 KJV 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. Isaiah 49:13 KJV 13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ~Today’s devotional comes from the book “5 Minutes with Jesus.

    EARS THAT HEAR HIM

    “Today, Lord, enable me to hear Your voice above every other.” That’s just one line from today’s devotion. This was another great and moving devotion. If you need encouragement or just a reminder of how much He loves you, then I encourage you to listen to this episode. I pray this blesses you in Jesus name! 🙏🏼 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Psalm 23:2-4 KJV 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Isaiah 35:3-4 KJV 3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Isaiah 41:10 KJV 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Psalm 91:3 KJV 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. Proverbs 29:25 KJV 25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ~Today’s devotional comes from the book “5 Minutes with Jesus.

    LET ALL THE EARTH BE SILENT

    How do feel about silence? Are you comfortable with it? How do you feel about silence in the presence of The Lord? Today, we will be discussing this. I learned so much from this devotion. I pray this blesses you in Jesus name! 🙏🏼 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Zephaniah 1:7 KJV 7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is at hand: for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. Psalm 141:3 KJV 3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. James 1:26 KJV 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Proverbs 10:19 KJV 19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. Psalm 4:4 KJV 4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ~Today’s devotional comes from the book “5 Minutes with Jesus.
