♪Take Courage♪

Holy God,

That’s what I woke up singing a few hours ago. Thank You Lord.

Yes, thank You that You remind us ♪…the harvest is ripe Lift up your voice, ‘cause Jesus is alive…♪

And just as I am turning to Your Word, I read the bridge [and “Outro”] in the lyrics. ♪There’s a yes in our hearts, and it carries through eternity Simple obedience, changes history♪

Speak to me this morning about having a yes in my heart, won’t You?

(7:00 a.m.)

I ask and You lead. Ephesians 3:14-20. “When I think of the wisdom and scope of God’s plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will give you mighty inner strength through His Holy Spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in Him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”

Mm. Yes. Jesus is alive. And there IS a yes in my heart!

Do all You know is best in, with, by, through and for me this day. Truly I long to ♪Take courage♪ lifting my voice to Your goodness. Use me in the strength of the Lord’s mighty power (Ephesians 6:10).

I love You. I need You. I want You. And I thank You Lord. Yes. Thank You. Amen.
