For The Moment…31

Waiting on God in Hope.

When we wait on the Lord, it is not because He is slow or forgets to be kind to us. Waiting can seem very long. We do not hear or see any difference. He is not subjected to time like humans. We are born, live a little, and then we die. ( Ecclesiates 3 verse 1. To everything, there is a season.)

Time is not His enemy. It is His creation.

( Genesis 1 verse 5. The evening and the morning were the first day.) He dwells in eternity where time and the ravishes of time can never touch. Yet, God remembers what we are. He remembes we are frail creatures, and we go back to the earth as dust.

(Psalm 103 verse 14. He knows our frame and remembers we are dust.)

At the appointed time, He will come through. It will be for us perfect. We have only to trust Him.

I know it is hard. But He knows how this story ends and how it started. He is faithful.

(Isaiah 46 verse 9 to 13…

I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from the ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I purposed it, I will also do it. Hear me, I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry.)

Amen

For The Moment…30

A Prayer of Remembrance.

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwells. So Oh my God and Father, remember me for good because thy words were sweet and I ate them and they were a source of joy and rejoicing to my heart. Therefore, as in thy word, I will always be remembered by thee.

( adapted from Psalm 26, Jeremiah 15 verse 16 and Nehemiah 13 verse 31)

For The Moment…29

My soul waits patiently for the Lord.

For none that wait on the Lord will be ashamed. The Lord will renew their strength.

As I wait on the Lord, I will hope, I will trust him, I will anticipate his blessing, and I will rest in him.

Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Is it not wonderous? ( adapted from Psalm 29, Psalm 130, and Isaiah 40.)

For The Moment…28

The Lord is great.

The Lord is the king of glory the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. He will fight for you. The Lord who owns this earth and all that is in the earth, the fulness, riches, the plenty of this earth is His . This same God says to ask him anything and prove him and see if He will not open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing. It will be a blessing juat for you. If only you will believe Him, you will receive whatever you ask. (adapted from Psalm 24, Malachi 3 verse 16 and Matthew 21 verse 22)

For the Moment…26

God is great and worthy to be praised.

The Lord is great from everlasting to everlasting. Praise his name from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same. All day long, I will sing his praises.

They shall come and declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he has done this. One generation passes away, and another comes. (adapted from Psalm 22 verse 31)

For The Moment…25

With praise and Thanksgiving, we go beyond just bringing requests and our petitions to the throne of grace. With boldness, we can ask God in the name of his only son, Jesus Christ, anything. That is our freedom, our boldness. Remembering God and who He is. We also praise Him.

Thine O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O, Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. ( 1 Chronicles 29 verse 11)

For The Moment…24

He knows them that trust in Him. It is not enough to call Him Savior and go on our merry way, seeing He will never deny us His love. We need to spend time with Him and get to know Him beyond asking for what we need. Thank Him, praise Him, just talk with Him. To know Him is to trust him.

I am the good shepherd…and I am known of mine. (Adapted from John 10 verse 14)

For The Moment…23

His mercy endures forever.

God delivered me from mine enemies: yes, he lifted me up above those that rise up against me. Therefore, will I give thanks unto the Lord and sing praises to his name.

He is an all forgiving God. His mercy endures forever. ( adapted from Psalm 18 verses 48 and 49, Psalm 118 and Psalm 136 verses 1 to 9.

For The Moment…20

The Lord is:

  • My rock
  • My fortress
  • My Deliverer
  • My God
  • My strength
  • My buckler
  • The horn of my salvation
  • My high tower

He is altogether lovely. (Psalm 18 verse 2 and Solomon 5 verse 16)

For The Moment…18. Is there anything impossible for God?

He gives power to the faint

We all have limitations. There are places we cannot go and things we cannot do without supernatural help. We have the potential to exceed our imagination, but some things are impossible to do. However, with God, everything is possible. No one is greater than God. No one is like Him. He is God, the Holy One. His power is vast. He is infinite. The Creator who rides on the wings of the wind. Who called into existence things that did not exist. The One who loves us first when we are unable to love. The One who cannot deny himself because He is Love. (Matthew 19 verse 26, Jeremiah 32 verse 17, Genesis 18 verse 13)
