"Honor the Lord" 7-5-08

Good morning, Lord Jesus. It's all about You. ... "Honor the Lord with your substance and with the first fruits of your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine" (Proverbs 3:9-10). I honor You, my Lord and my God -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- with all that I am and all that I have. The substance of my being belongs to You. I am Yours and You are mine (Song of Solomon 2:16). "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" (Psalm 73:26). Yet as I give myself to You, You give of Yourself even more to me. You fill me with plenty until I'm bursting with the peace and joy of Your Spirit. But even so, even though You lavish me and overwhelm me with Your peace and Your joy, it's not Your peace that I honor nor Your joy that I honor. I honor You alone. I thank You for all You do, but I honor You for who You are -- my Lord and my God, my Father and Friend, Savior and King, my All in All. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Friends, thank you for your prayers for us at the annual Aldersgate Conference of the Holy Spirit in Columbus, Ohio this week. Our friend from Wales, Heather Butler felt led to come join us and sang the song of the Lord out over us last night prophetically, reminding us God is here! And He's touching us all in a very deep way. I pray the same for you! I'll be teaching two sessions today on emotional healing during the conference and would appreciate your prayers for us: http://aldersgaterenewal.org God bless you!
