I've been going through the healing cycle of declaring victory in my life and walking in God's Authority - to watching my past like my life is on a movie reel, playing over and over in mind. The "if this..." scenarios pop up, and every now and then I feel entangled in what could have been...what should have been.
This song by Mary Mary ministers deeply to where I am right now, at this moment in my journey.
I've been meditating on the Word in Luke when Jesus tells the woman "Woman, thou are loosed from thine infirmity" Luke 13.
Jesus is speaking to so many of us sisters. He is speaking directly to who we are. He doesn't call this woman by her personal name, to say this healing is just for her...but He speaks directly to her being - "Woman!". Sister I have to tell you today....it is time for us to rise up. Jesus has commanded us to do so. "Woman, thou are loosed!".

Daily Meditation - Keep God First
This is today's meditation from thedailybibleverse.org. It felt really good to my soul so I had to share here.
Exodus 20:1-3 – You shall have no other gods before Me
And God spoke all these words: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. – Exodus 20:1-3 (NIV)
The first of the 10 Commandments is “I am the LORD your God…you shall have no other gods before me.” If we truly believe and live out this first commandment, it will keep us from breaking any of the remaining nine! This is because if we keep God first in our life, above everything else, he himself will actually make us righteous before him. He is the LORD-I AM that I AM. He is the ultimate reality of life, love and power. When we believe this and submit our lives to him, we’ll not be led astray by other “gods” of this world or the “gods” of our flesh that would seek to destroy us. God desires to bring us out of a land of slavery to sin and self, and under his loving rule in all areas of our lives. Living out this first command truly will fulfill all the rest!
Note: In the days that follow, we will look more closely at each of the 10 Commandments and how obedience to the 1st Commandment is the fulfillment of all the rest.

Daily Medidation - Being Still
Exodus 14:14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
Lord Jesus, I take this moment to stop my running and my personal efforts to win freedom. I am standing perfectly still physically and spiritually so that I can see the salvation You have already provided. If anything happens, it will happen by Your Spirit, not through my might or power.

Daily Meditation: Seeking the Lord
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. - Psalm 34:10 (NIV)
This is the perfect meditation for me today. Sometimes I realize I get so caught up in praying: "Please God do this, please God do that", instead of making my requests known to Him, trusting His promise, and spending the rest of my time seeking and praising Him.
Have you ever felt like your prayer is a wish upon a star? When I get in this mode of praying where I'm asking Lord, Lord please, I need to remind myself that as long as I'm seeking His face - I will lack no good thing.
From my heart to Your ear Lord, I'll seek You first.
