For The Moment…114

When you have a problem, you must realize that the Lord is your source of help.

There is no one who can get you out of a situation like He can.

The Lord is always there with you in the middle of it all. He will never leave you to handle things on your own.

A problem may be out of your control as most problems are. The Lord has the solution because he is the solution. Call out to him, and he will get to work on whatever you need.

He is a very present help in times of trouble.  ( Adapted from Psalm 46)

For The Moment…113

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hast formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, a d as a watch in the night. Psalm 90 verses 2 and 4.

This is the God we serve. A God of power and of might. He was before all things the Creator. He formed everything with words of his mouth.

He is God. He can do anything.

We have only to believe and he will do it.

For The Moment…112

He can do anything.

He hears our cry.

He remembers that we are fragile. We are weak humans subjected to all the powers of pain, sorrow, and loss that surround us.

We are but a speck in this vast univers, yet there is grace.

We have no power to control our destiny, whether it be good or bad.

We are subject to life as it is.

Does not God care?

Does God not understand?

Does He see all the injustice waged on us?

He promised to be present when we needed help.

He promised never to walk away from us.

He will always be near.

Nothing is hidden from him.

Am I a God at hand, says the Lord, and not a God afar off?

Can anyone hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Says the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? Says the Lord

He is a God of great mercy and compassion. 

He speaks truth, life, and love.

For The Moment…111.

Sing aloud unto God our strenght…Psalm 81 verse 1.

God sits on His throne in heaven, and yet he thinks of me.

He makes a path in which there is no way to walk.

He provides when there is little to receive.

He makes big my progress when I am pushed down.

He is my strength.

I will praise him forever.

For The Moment…110

Take with you the shield of faith so you can withstand the fiery darts of the Devil.

The Devil travels around looking for those he can mess up big time. If you are following the Lord, he does not want to make it easy for you. He springs, hoping to get his claws on you.

But if you read the Word of God faithfully and trust the Lord, your walk of faith gets easier.

When problems come, you dig deep and remember the promises He spoke to you. You call no those promises. You go over them again and again. Soon, those doubts and fears planted in your heart by the Devil will fall away.

You must have the word of God to shield you. If you don’t read the Bible, you have nothing for protection.

Adapted from Ephesians 6.

For The Moment…109

We pray for things we don’t have, or for things we need, like our health is compromised, the bank is on our tail for payments we can not make, or we desire a promotion we believe we should have.

Regardless of our reasons for praying, we know that our source is the Lord. Without Him, we can’t do anything. He gives strength. He gives means. He creates opportunities.

He is the same in the past, today, and in the future. There is no one like Him. He will never leave us or forsake us.

This is his promise.

His promises are yes. His promises are amen or so let it be.

For The Moment…108

All thanks and praise belong to God.

He is worthy to be praised from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same.

When we are in health and have good times before us, and things are going smoothly, it is easy to praise the Lord.

When things are going badly. When the medical report is poor. When there is no money to pay all the bills. When the boss hates you. When everything at work is wrong, it is hard to sing praise.

But Job said, “Although he slay me yet will I trust him.”

To come to this realization is a big step of faith. But  like Job can we take that step?

It is all a matter of trust. It’s a matter of turning your eyes upon Jesus and to look in his face and not at the problem.

Yes, humanly speaking, it is hard, but if we dig deep and think about what lies before us, the choice is easy.

Remember, he is God.

For The Moment…107

Sometimes, our minds grow stale, and we get tired. Not that we do not love the Lord, but we truly do.

Routine can be mundane, unevenly, and, at times, boring.

We need revival in our spirits. We need to zip up our hearts and feel that love and commitment surging through our veins again.

The only way we can get that is through prayer. Our deeds are not enough, but our hearts need to be engaged with the Lord. In close contact with praying and diving into his word is the way.  A special shout out to the Lord who doesn’t hold anything from us.

Revive us, oh Lord.

So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. Psalm 80 verse 18.

For The Moment…106

So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks forever; we will shew forth thy praise to all generations. Psalm 79 verse 13.

We have a privilege to call on the name of the Lord at all times, not just to make requests but also to praise him and to give thanks.

Thanks giving is forgotten when we have needs. We look to him for help so easily, and yet to thank him, we have to have a reference point.

How selfish are we to put our needs forward everytimewe approach him.

For a moment, take time to give the Lord a word of praise and thank him not just for what he has done but because he is God and worthy to be praised.

For The Moment…105

Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Matt 7 verse 7

We can approach the throne of grace with all boldness.

We can call on the name of the Lord.

We can come before God and ask anything in the name of his son, Jesus Christ, and it will be given unto us.
