Gos gives in abundance

If we follow God.

If we do his will.

If we love God, then we will see His natural kindness.

Even today do I (says God) I declare that I will render double unto thee.  Zechariah 9 verse 12.

God has perfect timing…

He will come through for you.

He has never forgotten his promise to provide and to never leave you.

God’s timing is perfect.

Behold, at the time( God says) I will undo all that affect you. Zephaniah 3 verse 19.

What an amazing promise.

How do you trust God?

That is a good question.

Do you trust God with all your heart.

Do you trust God with nothing wavering?

Do you have doubts about his ability to help you?

These questions are hard but they need to be asked so you can stand back and think about your answer.

I know trust is a very elusive commodity. It isn’t something that comes easy for me.

Yet, with God it should be easy because he has never disappoints me.

The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty. Zephaniah 3 verse 17.

He can do anything.

Nothing will harm you…

God promises…

No weapon that is formed against you shall prosperity and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the héritage of the servant of the Lord. Isaiah 54 verse 17.

God is everything..

He says, ” Look unto me, and be you saved…” Isaiah 45 verse 22.

Not one good thing will he withhold from those who seek Him, from those who love him, from those who follow hard after Him and walk in his ways.

What does God mean to you?

He is my provider.

Jehovah -jireh

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and the hidden riches of secret places, that thou may know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name.

Isaiah 45 verse 3

Overlooked again?

Invisible in a crowd.

Forgotten by those who know you or claim to love you.

God made a promise to his people, but now, since Christ died for us, we, too, are God’s people. We are children of God, so that promise is for us too.

God says even when others forget you, “yet will  I not forget you.” Isaiah 49 verse 15.

Overlooked

Sometimes, you may feel like you seem to fade into the background, where no one can  see you.

You think if you just do something great, say something snappy or even witty to get good attention, then people will see you. They will know you, know your name.

But life doesn’t work like that. People either like you, gravate to you, or maybe they just don’t.

Being overlooked is not anything anyone wants to be.

We all want to be seen.

We all want to be heard.

Silence can be deafening.

Silence can be painful and lonely.

If you are a child of God, you are blessed.

You are never alone or overlooked.

All of God’s children have a voice.

A voice that God gave to us so we can use it to call out from that lonely place for help for guidance for companionship.

God hears.

He answers.

He knows you.

He sees you.

He remembers his promise forever concerning you. Psalm 105 verse 8.

God says in the Bible, which is his word.

Behold I have graven you upon the palms of my hands. Isaiah 49 verse 16.

He remembers you.

He remembers his child and looks out for you like the father in the story of the prodigal son. God is prepared for you. Like that father,he can see you at a distance. And will have compassion and run to you with arms wide open.

He is waiting for you.

He cares when others don’t….

Death of a friend…

The home call of a family friend, someone I have known from childhood, puts life into perspective.

Life is so fleeting with all the ups and downs. Yet, within the shadows of these trials and tribulations, there are moments of joy and blessing where there is singing and laughter. The complexities of living are something to hold fast and to give God thanks for all he has done and all he will do.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loaded us with benefits. Psalm 68 verse 19.

Guidance at sunrise

I start the day by thanking the Lord and asking for guidance.

I learned I can’t do anything without him.

I try to recall his promises so I could thank him as I take hold of those words.

For example…

I pray, ” Lord, you promised to go before me and take control, making my path straight. I claim this promise and leave everything in thy hands. Amen.”

This is not a charm like a rabbit’s foot. It isn’t magic.

I know he is handling everything for me.
