Take A Stand!

Ephesians 6:10-11“[The Armor of God] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) . All Rights Reserved.

I think as believers today we forget that we are in a spiritual battle, warfare. YES, this journey and life IS going to be HARD, buuuut, the more we fight, the more we align with God, the more joy we will be filled with. So, we must FIGHT.

Trust in the Lord

Jeremiah 17:7-8““But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) .

Trust in the Lord! Though it is one of those “easier said than done” however, that’s why it’s a battle, a war. Last time I checked, there hasn’t been a war or battle that was easy or without some cost…otherwise it wouldn’t be war. We have to FIGHT! God deserves our EVERYTHING yet we give Him next to nothing. How is that fair? it’s not…we’re just cheating Him big time. So, pals, lets do our best to encourage one another and strive towards Christ, which starts with being in His Word and in prayer with Him. Our trust will grow over time, and then, the more we trust Him and are rooted in His Word, the harder it is to bring us down or quiet our hope filled hearts.

Faithful God

 

Deuteronomy 7:9“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) . All Rights Reserved.

 

Our God is faithful no matter what…through generations He has always been and always will be faithful!

Called to Holiness by Grace

2 Timothy 1:9“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) . All Rights Reserved.

 

Isn’t it amazing that imperfect rather horrid and awful scum like us humans can be completely redeemed and changed by a God who sees everything we do, say, think, feel…etc. and still loves us intimately and desires us anyway?! Crazy…but completely and utterly amazing. THAT is a miracle.

Search Me Lord

Psalm 139:23-24“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) . All Rights Reserved.

Look in my life and heart, see if there is anything against you, if there is, take it out Lord, lead me on by your grace and for your glory!

Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Hallelujah what a savior.

Isaiah 25:1“[Praise to the LORD] LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) . All Rights Reserved.

Those prayer requests we feel are going unanswered or those situations which seem so unclear and uncertain, well though we may not take it as much, we can rest assured in the fact that our great God, in His sovereignty and faithfulness already knows the outcome and is already working each situation out for HIS glory which is ultimately for our BEST.

Follow My Steps

Follow Me one step at a time. That is all I require of you. In fact, that is the only way to move through this space/time world. You see huge mountains looming, and you start wondering how you’re going to scale those heights. Meanwhile, because you’re not looking where you’re going, you stumble on the easy path where I am leading you now. As I help you get back on your feet, you tell Me how worried you are about the cliffs up ahead. But you don’t know what will happen today, much less tomorrow. Our path may take an abrupt turn, leading you away from those mountains. There may be an easier way up the mountains than is visible from this distance. If I do lead you up the cliffs, I will equip you thoroughly for that strenuous climb. I will even give My angels charge over you, to preserve you in all your ways.
Keep your mind on the present journey, enjoying My Presence. Walk by faith, not by sight, trusting Me to open up the way before you.
With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.
—Psalm 18:29
For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
—Psalm 91:11–12 amp
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
—2 Corinthians 5:7 nkjv - http://bit.ly/eF5kSq
