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.

And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man saying, we will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name , to take away our reproach. Isaiah 4 verse 1.

A true marriage of convenience. This is a prophesy from ancient times, and it fits so well in today’s modern society.

It is good to be strong and not to be dependent on people. Our dependence should be on God, not on a man or anyone, but God is our resource.

He provides people to help us in our time of need. He prepares a path for us to walk where we encounter many folks to help us and to be there for us. We are never alone.

We can be self-sufficient, but we need to call upon the Lord for our needs.

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.”

Psalm 66 verse 4.

The Lord is worthy to be praised. And in a soon coming day, all the earth shall bow the knee and own him as Lord over all.

Amen.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

Psalm 61 verse 2 and 3

The world around us is in turmoil. There are wars and rumors of wars. There is fighting in the streets, killings, drugs, trafficking and more taxes, and less money. This all can be overwhelming. But God is present. He promises to never leave or forsake us.

When the going gets tough, he does not and will not walk away. He is the fourth man in the fire, covering  us from all things.

We may go through the problem, but he will bring us out on the other side of the problem on dry land.

Great is the God we serve.

He is worthy to be praised.

For The Moment…71

Don’t be afraid of those who have power, those who make decisions, those who rule over you, and control your advancement. These people are here on earth for a little while.  Like the cycle of life, everything comes to an end.

Man and his vain brief authority. 

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house increased; for when he dies, he shall carry nothing aqay: his glory shall not descend after him. Man, that is in honor and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.

Psalm 49 verses 16, 17,20.

The tongue is a fire no one can tame. (Adapted from James 3 verses 6 and 8)

Sometimes jumping in and speaking your mind is not always  a good idea. As an old Arabian proverb says, there are four things you can not get back once they are sent out. One is the spoken word. Words are powerful.

Words spoken in hast or out of season can cause strife and not good. It is best always to check your words before you speak. Depending on the situation, they can do more harm than good.

Be aware.

Whoever keeps his mouth and his  tongue keeps his soul from trouble. (Adapted from Proverbs 21 verse 23)

Psalm 39 verse 1. I said, “I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.”

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.

Don’t Be Afraid of What You Hear…

Yet To BE # 281

And Isaiah said unto them, thus shall ye say unto your master, thus saith the Lord, be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Isaiah 37 verse 6.

Don’t be afraid of the things you hear.

Malicious words can mess with your self-esteem and destroy the psyche.

The tongue is a fire, a weapon used for mass destruction.

But don’t worry about what others say to you.

Don’t be afraid of words spoken in anger to defeat you

As a child of God, your responsibility is to your heavenly Father.

He takes care of you in all your ways.

There is nothing he will not do for you.
