Neither Good or Bad

Yet To Be # 299

They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.  Jeremiah 10 verse 5.

Some people are good, and in all appearances, they do well.

They are not the ones to fear.

They will do nothing; they will say nothing, nor do they see anything.

They have no life within them.

They will neither be against you or be for you.

They are like a vapor; here, one moment, then gone the next as if the vapor never existed.

Give Thanks For God’s Goodness

YET TO BE # 296

Oh, Lord, with praise and joy, I give thanks.

I do not deserve thy goodness.

I live in fear and anxiety about things I cannot control.

Yet, when I cry to thee and call upon thy name, I feel a peace that surrounds me;

I breathe and move forward.

Not knowing what will happen or where I should go.

But belief inhabits my heart, and I trust thee.

So, I give thanks.

Fear Not

For not for thou shalt not be ashamed neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shamed. Isaiah 54 verse 4

Live Life Pleasing to God

How does death change your perspective?

As a born-again believer, my life is not my own. I live in the constant presence of the living God. I try to live a life pleasing to God. But to answer this question; life is short. If you have loved ones, tell them you love them and be there for them. Once they are gone, you don’t get a second chance to tell them of your love for them. Live in the present.

He Remains Faithful…

If we stray in our thoughts with unbelief, the matter still exists.

His word is eternal

His love is true from everlasting to everlasting.

He can not deny himself because he remains faithful.

If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he can not deny himself. 2 Timothy 2 verse 13.

Fear Not God Will Help You

YET TO BE #284

For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Isaiah 41 verse 13

It is true.

Do not be mistaken.

Our God is full of compassion.

He sees us.

He knows us and he understands our needs.

So easily touched by our emotions.

Moved by our disappointments.

Grieved by our sorrow

When we are lost;

He seeks us.

He holds our hand and guides us to a safe haven.

He is our rock, our fortress, a very present help when we are in trouble.

Fear Not

YET TO BE #282

O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid, say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God. Isaiah 40 verse 9.

Behold the Lord comes with power and might.

Praise his name forever for he is worthy to be praised.

Sing unto the Lord a new song, and make your voice known for he is great.

He is God.

Comfort Others…

Yet To Be # 280

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; He will come and save you. Isaiah 35 verse 4

Take time, a mere moment from your life to comfort someone else.

Pray for the sick.

Encourage the faint-hearted.

Pay attention to the lonely.

Give thanks to God for those in your life.

Help those who are helpless.

Be strong in the power of the Lord’s might, knowing he will sustain you and keep you in all your ways.

God is My Salvation…

Yet To Be #277

Behold, God is my Salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord, Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Isaiah 12 verse 2

He is my protection and in him, will I trust.

I am not afraid of the terror that walks in the day nor of the darkness that shrouds the night.

His song will be forever in my heart and his joy on my lips.

I will praise him forever through all eternity.

He is my strength, my song, and my salvation.

And in him, I lack nothing.

If They Conspire Against You

Yet To Be #275

Ye shall not say, Conspiracy, of everything, of which this people saith, Conspiracy; and fear ye not their fear, and be not in dread. Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your dread. Isaiah 8 verses 12 and 13.

They are some who live in constant fear while delighting to plot against you.

They view your every move as a mark on them.

Seeing you as the enemy, therefore, despising you for no good reason.

Sometimes it does not take two hands to clap, with these people jealousy lines their hearts.

They ride a slippery slope and quickly give in to paranoia as they go about living.

Don’t be like this lot so easily swayed and give in to the feeling of dread.

Remember you have a sanctuary in God.

Reverence Him and let Him work for you.
