For The Moment…122

Nothing hits God by surprise. He knows the end from the beginning. We are like grasshoppers before him , yet he has compassion towards us. His loving kindness is for now and forever.

When we feel afraid, thrown into the deep without a life jacket, we must remember he is the rock of our salvation.

Fear not just whisper his name. He is the Deliver.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

Psalm 123 verse 2

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…91

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge; he putters down one and setters up another. Psalm 75 verses 6 and 7.

God is in control and will not give his power to another.

When things are going well, we have that notion to believe it is all by our own strength. But God gives the strength and clears the way on our path.

We can trust him. Because He does know the way through this wilderness we call life.

For The Moment…84

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

Psalm 66 verse 18

Who do we think we are praying to the Lord without sincerity?

We are fake in compassion and evil lurks in the corners of our hearts. We have offenses we have not confessed whereby we wish to give evil for evil.

Who are we to come before a holy God with dirty hands trying to justify our actions?

We are nothing. We must learn to bring our sins or problems our heavy hearts to him. Open our minds and confess our wrongdoings, and leave them at his feet. Let the Lord fight for us. Let him take vengeance for us. He understands and knows what is best.

Forgiveness is not easy, but by taking that first step towards the Lord is a leap in the right direction.

For The Moment…83

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.

For The Moment…77

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

Psalm 55 verse 21.

We do not know the heart or mind of a person. They may speak sweet words, but sweetness is far from them.

It is best to be watchful and pray for guidance.

Live a good life pleasing to God, and blessings will flow.

For The Moment…76

Behold, God is mine helper…

Psalm 54 verse 4

We have God. We do not need anyone else.

He is the creator. He called into existence things that never existed. He parted the Red Sea so his people could walk to the other side on dry ground. He gave courage to a man who stuttered so he could deliver his people out of slavery. He calmed the seas. He shut the mouths of lions. He made the blind to see. He opened the wombs of women well past the age of conception. He raised the dead. He healed the sick and so much more.

God can do anything and much more.

With him by our side, we lack nothing.

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.

For The Moment…53

Wait and pray or pray and wait.

Things do not happen in our time, but with God, everything is on time.

We can not rush God. His ways are not our ways, and our times are in His hands.

He is perfect. If we trust Him, He will bring it all to pass in the right time.

I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Psalm 40 verse 1.

For The Moment…44

I’ll praise Him forever through all eternity, my Savior, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

I’ll sing of the Lamb who shed His blood for me, my Savior the King of kings and Lord of Lord’s.

That all through the ages His riches I might see. For all heavens glory He has prepared for me.

My full heart will praise Him, who gave His life for me, my Savior, the King of kings, and Lord of Lords.
