Come The Morning

Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY comes in the morning.” Psalms 30:5

We had several torrential rainstorms hit our area, and I was very concerned about the birds and their young ones. Every night, I would pray for them to be safe and dry. I even gave God some advice on the storms, and told Him that perhaps he should lessen the amount of water He was sending, for although the seeds I had planted were enjoying this downpour…the animals outside were probably NOT as appreciative!

Saturday night, I got ready for bed and took a peek out my window to see what the weather looked like. There was a blizzard going on! I got in bed and said my prayers, but this time was different. I said, “Really God?! You and I need to have a heart to heart… You’ve gone and drenched these birds for days …are you gonna freeze ’em now?” I finally fell asleep, totally worried, and a bit peeved that God had not taken my advice regarding the weather situation.

The Name Of The Lord

He was more talkative than usual as he climbed the stairs to bed. Something was bothering him, I just wasn’t sure what it was. We said our bed-time prayers, turned on his favorite story of “Narnia”, and said our “good-nights”.

I had just drifted off to sleep, my body and mind finally relaxing. Suddenly, I was awakened to sobs of terror coming from his room. Hurriedly, I ran across the hall, threw open the door, and went to his side. He was shaking, tears running down his face uncontrollably! I held him close as I sat on the edge of his bed and asked,

Where Would I Be?

by Anita Mondragon

The other day, I began remembering all the good things in my life…things that God has given to me. Then, I remembered the days before I knew Him. What a contrast! Those days were sad, lonely, and full of despair. So I sat down and wrote the lyrics to what someday I hope will be a song. These words were written to the Lord, to express my gratitude for His gracious mercy to me. They are more of a prayer than anything.

A Double Whammy

When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?” “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied. -2 Kings 2:

I must have been like Elisha this morning…I felt like I needed a double whammy to get me started. As I stood before the Promise Box, I was praying for my kids. I reminded the Lord that He PROMISED to bring them all back if I had taught them about Him when they were young. He gave me two promises this morning, not only for them…but for me as well.

Sing Your Praise To The Lord

Posted on Mar 5, 2019 in Forgiven- A Daily Devotion | Tags: blog, daily devotion, Devotional, forgiven, PCC, Praise Center Church

by Anita Mondragon

Praise God in his holy house of worship,

praise him under the open skies;

Praise him for his acts of power,

praise him for his magnificent greatness;

Praise with a blast on the trumpet,

praise by strumming soft strings;

Praise him with castanets and dance,

praise him with banjo and flute;

Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum,

praise him with fiddles and mandolin. Let every living, breathing creature praise God!

Hallelujah!-Psalm 150:1-6 MSG

Perfect Heart- Perfect Love

As the month of February comes to an end we think of it as a time to celebrate those we love. It was the month of Valentines Day and it was also heart health month. I hope you took the time to think about your heart this past month as I did.

I asked myself what’s the condition of my heart both physically and spiritually and why do people say you broke my heart, can my heart really be broken?

Broken heart (also known as heartbreak or heartache) is a metaphor for the intense emotional—and sometimes physical—stress or pain one feels at experiencing great longing.

“It is officially known as takotsubo cardiomyopathy, broken heart syndrome it’s a rare heart condition with symptoms that can mimic those of a heart attack.” Says Dr. Wittstein.

Come and Rest

“And he (Jesus) said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they, (the disciples) had no leisure so much as to eat.” Mark 6:31

Here I sit…in all the beauty God intended for us; snow-covered mountains, huge boulders, the size of large buildings, clouds coming down so low…it looks as though they are kissing the mountain tops. The clear blue water, mirroring the glorious sky above. Birds on wing, sail through the air, seeing what I see…but through different eyes. The quietness is immense! When I stop to ponder the boundless love of God, I am overwhelmed!

Words Unto The Lord

Posted on Feb 27, 2019 in Forgiven- A Daily Devotion | Tags: blog, daily devotion, Devotional, forgiven, PCC, Praise Center Church, words unto the lord

by Anita Mondragon

“And it shall come to pass, that BEFORE they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” Isaiah 65:24

A few years back, our family was going through some very hard financial times. We were being spiritually attacked on all sides from the enemy, and it seemed he would not let up on us for a moment. I wrote a series of ‘words unto the Lord’ at that time. This is the second one of that series.

1 How long oh Lord will the riches of the world be held in the hands of those whose hearts are far from you?

2 Rain down your blessings upon me oh Lord that I may be a blessing to others.

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry

“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 5: 20

The sun comes up…we’re on our way;

Off to work in a hurry…no time to pray!

Not a moment to waste…not a minute to spare;

Too busy deciding just what we should wear.

Can’t find the keys, and the cell phone is dead…

When I Am Discouraged

by Francine Rodriguez

It seems like I give my all and yet no one appreciates what I do. I seem to always be shot down just when I feel that I am making some progress in my life.

We read in 1 Samuel 30 that David felt the same way but he discovered that sometimes we just have to learn how to encourage ourselves in the Lord. David and his men had returned home to Ziklag to find that the Amalekites had been there and they had raided and burned the city of Ziklag. But the worst was that they had taken all the women, their sons, and daughters and all that were there, young and old captive.

What a great prayer! As Believers, this is the kind of stuff we should be seeking God for on a daily basis!
Thanks for the reminder sister Francine!
