Free to dream His dream

Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”15Sarah was afraid, so she denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh.”But the Lord said, “No, you did laugh.”

So the Lord told Abraham, “I have heard a great outcry from Sodom and Gomorrah, because their sin is so flagrant. 21I am going down to see if their actions are as wicked as I have heard. If not, I want to know.”

Finally, Abraham said, “Lord, please don’t be angry with me if I speak one more time. Suppose only ten are found there?” And the Lord replied, “Then I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”

 The outcry against this place is so great it has reached the Lord, and he has sent us to destroy it.”

“Oh no, my lord!” Lot begged. 19“You have been so gracious to me and saved my life, and you have shown such great kindness. But I cannot go to the mountains. Disaster would catch up to me there, and I would soon die. 20See, there is a small village nearby. Please let me go there instead; don’t you see how small it is? Then my life will be saved.”

But God had listened to Abraham’s request and kept Lot safe, removing him from the disaster that engulfed the cities on the plain.

In the dream God responded, “Yes, I know you are innocent. That’s why I kept you from sinning against me, and why I did not let you touch her.

Lord God my Father,

Remove my self imposed limits of what you can do thru me, give me courage to be a part of your plan the way you wish. Help me to be nothing more than your servant.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Blessed and a Blessing

There he built another altar and dedicated it to the Lord, and he worshiped the Lord.

But the people of this area were extremely wicked and constantly sinned against the Lord.

“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,Creator of heaven and earth.20And blessed be God Most High,who has defeated your enemies for you.”

Lord God my Father,

May I build altars in my life to remind me of your Glory in my life and gain protection from the evil around me. Bless me and allow me to be your blessing.

His designed desire.

for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous. 

 “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things. 22As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to stay in the desire that pleases you. My desire is to be obedient to your way without resistance.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Focused on God only

“Why are you so angry?” the Lord asked Cain. “Why do you look so dejected? 7You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”

Enoch lived 365 years, 24walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.

The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.

God observed all this corruption in the world, for everyone on earth was corrupt.

So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.

Lord God my Father,

Give me power over my evil ways and help me to keep my attention on you and live under your spirit, not my own.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Under His authority for my good.

In the beginning God

in the image of God he created them;

Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!

And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.

“It is not good for the man to be alone. 

she wanted the wisdom it would give her. 

And you will desire to control your husband,but he will rule over you.

Then the Lord God said, “Look, the human beings have become like us

You are literally everything and you choose to place proper boundaries in my life for my own good, Thank you for loving as you do, help me to be the son you desire me to be. Place your plan on my heart.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
