Zen Mama's message of the day: 

Quiet time, with God

And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him— The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and strength, The Spirit of knowledge and of the [reverential and obedient] fear of the LORD — And He will delight in the fear of the LORD, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make decisions by what His ears hear” ‭‭ISAIAH‬ ‭11:2-3
Be strong in the LORD and the strength of His might.” Ephesians 6:10
Choose to grow with God, Covered with His full armour
Devour the Gospel ... Ask, Believe, Choose... Discover HOPE
Every single morsel... Evidence of being in the Spirit: Paul's Prayer for the Ephesians …so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in LOVE, may have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of His LOVE, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.…Ephesians 3:17-19
Focal point? God is Enough. Saturate Self in Truth
God's priorities first, and most important priorities of the day
Helmet of salvation... Holding a powerful vision... let the truth of God's love saturate your mind...
