God’s Promise: I will never leave you.

Lo, I am with you all way, even to the end of the world.

Yet To Be #156

“Loneliness is an unpleasant emotional response to perceived isolation.”


As a child of God, we must remember that God promised never to leave or forsake us.
Sometimes when circumstances are overwhelming, we forget to remember the Bible is God’s word to us, every chapter, every verse, and every line. Scripture is given to us for rebuke, correction, and instruction. A passage from the Old Testament may speak about a character from the past but, it can also be relatable to us today. God’s word is fresh and applicable in the past, in the present, and forever.
God promised to Jacob, “Behold, I am with you, and will keep you in all places wherever you go and will bring you again into the land; for I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken to you of.”
Again in Deuteronomy, chapter 31 verse 6 Moses spoke to the children of Israel to encourage them with the truth. He said, “He (God) it is that goes with you, He will not fail you, nor forsake you.”
This promise passes throughout the Old Testament and well into the New Testament. Jesus the only begotten son of God says, “Lo, I am with you all way, even to the end of the world.”
As He was with the children of Israel, we are His children, and He will help us also.
He is God and changes not.

(reference verses: Genesis 28:15, Malachi 3:6, Deuteronomy 31:6, Matthew 28:20, 2 Timothy 3:16)

God’s Promises: He Will Fight For You

Fear not, stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord.

Yet To be #155


Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will work for you today. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent. Exodus 14:13 and 14.

He fights for me; my battles are never-ending.
His ways are perfect, always present, never failing.
In secret does He work, His wonders to behold.
He takes my hand and guides my feet: my Lord and my Master. He is in control.

God’s Promises: I lack Nothing

Jesus embodies all of God’s promises

Yet To Be #154

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want – Psalm 23

Every promise in the Bible is mine
Mine for the asking.
Mine for the taking.
Mine for all eternity.
Jesus embodies all of God’s promises.
Inside my heart, he sits; in my life, He reigns as Lord and King.
What then can I lack?
“You have not because you ask not.” James 4:2

Blessed Are They That Mourn- Yet To Be #152

Let not your heart be troubled.

Yellow peony ( Egypt, Mexico and Ethiopia attribute yellow as a color of mourning)

There is a time and a season for everything.
There is a time to rejoice, and a time to cry.
We who lost loved ones and are in mourning, these are four powerful verses from the Lord.


Jesus comforts us – Let not your heart be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in me. (1)


He promises us – And you now, therefore have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.(2)


He says we are not forgotten – Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. (3)


Now, our hearts not only cry for sorrow but also for knowing his words are true, and his promises are yes and amen. Jesus is God, and God is not a man that he can lie. What he says he will do, and no man can take that away.


My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and portion forever. (4)


(Reference verses: Ecclesiastes 3, Numbers 23:19, john 14:1,
John 16:22, Matthew 5:4 and Psalm 73:26)

Does God Need Help?- Yet To Be #151

Great is our Lord and mighty in power, his understanding has no limit.

Does God need our help?
Who are we to think that the God of this universe, the Creator requires assistance?
We live in the presence of a holy God, and we can say like the prophet Isaiah, “Woe, is me for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell among a people of unclean lips.”
What could we bring as a tribute but hate, envy, war, and strife? We live in the world, a place that cries out in pain because of our sins. We have made a mess of this world with our insatiable quest for more beyond enough.
This mess belongs to us, and yet with these same dirty hands we believe we can lend them to help God along His course.
Thou fool, God is in control and needs no help from us. He is God.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55: 8-9

The Lord of hosts has sworn: As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand. Isaiah 14:24

Lo, these are parts of his ways; but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? Job 26:14

Attitude of Gratitude: Yet To Be #150

In every thing thanks for this is the will of God.

Prayer
Riverdale 2021

The grateful soul comes before the throne of God in thanksgiving.
There is no sense of envy, no stench of pride.
Humility weakens the knees so they can bend.
Joy loosens the tongue so it can sing praise.
While selfish desires, the wanton mind, the lustful spirit all speed along their course to the line’s end, the prayerful heart makes a narrow path and throws wide the door for the will of God.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1  1Thessalonians 5:18

4 Simple Reasons For Counting Blessings

Blessings are the destroyers of discouragement.

Yet To Be #149

They Live – counting each blessing allows us to name them. Giving every blessing a label gives it life. It becomes tangible evide6nce of His mercy, grace, and love towards us. 

Destroyers of Discouragement – naming each blessing drives any discouragement, dark thoughts, self-pity, depression, or sorrow away. Every blessing is a symbol of hope in this dark and evil world.

Unforgettable – every blessing is a gift or favor from God. We come to realize and acknowledge His faithfulness. We are not forsaken or forgotten.

Blessings Galore – naming one blessing multiplies into many. We think of one then another comes to mind, and soon we see that God is most generous with His love towards us. 

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. James 1:17

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits. Psalm 68:19

Shut Up and Listen

When there is nothing to say, keep quiet and listen

Yet To Be # 148

When there is nothing to say, keep quiet and listen.
The ability to listen to another person helps to build trust and establish rapport. People like to be heard, to know someone is listening, someone is interested, and ultimately, someone cares.
Taking the time to listen before speaking takes patience and discipline.


Death and life are in the power of the tongue. – Proverbs 18:21


Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end. – Proverbs 19:20


Let everyone be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. – James 1:19


Whoso keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles. – Proverbs 21:23


For in many things we offend all. If any man offends not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. James 3:2

7 Simple Steps Towards Forgiving: Is It Hard to Forgive?

There is no escaping the bitterness that follows any act of betrayal.

Why Do People Pray?

Yet To Be #147

It is hard to forgive when the feeling of betrayal is buried deep within the heart. 

There is no escaping the bitterness that follows any act of betrayal.

It empties the heart of comfort and light while stealing the soul of any love and joy. Dark seeds take root and bloom; then quickly multiply as anger, hate, and revenge. Soon, they spread far and fester like a disease without a cure. 

7 Simple Steps to Help When Forgiving Others:

  1. Don’t give in. “Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit is willing but, the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41  
  2. Look to the Lord for strength. “I will lift up my eyes unto the hills from whence comes my strength, my strength comes from the Lord.” Psalm 121: 1 and 2
  3. Look to the Lord for help. “God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 
  4. Do not take matters into your own hands. “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it
  5. is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:19 and “Devise not evil against your neighbor.” Proverbs 3:29
  6. Ask the Lord for guidance. “In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path.” Proverbs 3:6
  7. Leave all the pain and anger at the throne of grace. If you forgive others our heavenly Father will also forgive us and His peace that surpasses all understanding will garrison our hearts and minds. Matthew 6:14 and 15, Mark 11:25.
  8. Sometimes it is easier said than it is to do. We need to take one day at a time. “Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.” Matthew 6:34.

Anxiety Can Strangle Faith

our faith is wrung tight and stretched in all directions until it is so thin, we worry about its efficacy.

Yet To Be #146

Anxiety creates stress which can be destructive to the body. High blood pressure, weakened immune system, mental health concerns as well as heart problems can develop. The prayer warrior is subjected to the emotional and physical shifts of anxiety. In fact, like any follower of Jesus Christ living in this present evil world, we face one challenge after another, while trying to be obedient to God.
We are tested every day. Our faith is wrung tight and stretched in all directions until it is so thin, we worry about its efficacy. But if we keep our eyes on the Lord and lean not onto our understanding, then we will come out on the other side of the trials, situations, or doubts, as fine, pure gold.

Casting all your cares upon Him for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8
