For The Moment…42

In my haste, I am cut off from before his eyes.

Nevertheless, I believed, and the Lord heard my cries, and He saved me.

Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all who hope in the Lord. ( adapted from Psalm 31 verse 22 and 24)

The Psalmist David writing this work was a fugitive running from King Saul. David was to be king, but he was hiding  in caves away from a man who was jealous of him and sought to kill him. This psalm is one of lament, a prayer for help, while  at the same time, it declares the goodness of Jehovah as the source of all blessings in times of trouble. David’s unwavering trust and belief in Jehovah is seen in the words of this Psalm 31.

The Lord is your hope when all other paths fail. He is your deliverer when you have no one to turn to and no place to run. He is always there to pick you up and keep you safe if you trust, obey, and believe in him.

For The Moment…37

Give thanks believing you have received it.

Meaning, there is no doubt. Believe the Lord is able to give you what you desire. Ask in faith, not doubting, because a double minded person is unstable in all things.

If there is doubt, then how can you say you trust God? How can you say you say in truth you believe him or that you take him at his word?

You do not believe it because you have no faith.

And you are living a lie.

You do not believe he can do it for you.

You do not believe he is great enough.

You do not believe you deserve it.

You need to make it right. You need to present all your fears and tell him about your doubts then cast them aside knowing he hears you and you trust him. 

Even if your faith is small like a grain of mustard seed. He will come through for you.

Believe him and see him as God the creator. The God who loves you no matter what you have done, no matter who you are.

(Adapted from Mark 11 verse 24, James 1 verse 6 and Matthew 17 verse 20)

Next… no one said it will be easy. There can be dark days ahead…

He Is Able To Keep You Safe…

Yet To Be #302

Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar. Jeremiah 30 verse 10A.

Or

Therefore fear thou not, O my child of God…

I will save you from afar.

God may not be physically here as in flesh and blood, but his arm is not short.

And his promises are real.

His promises are true.

He is still able to save.

He can still keep you safe.

Neither Good or Bad

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.

Jesus Lives…

This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 3 verse 17.

He finished the work which the Father gave him to do.

Perfect completion.

God the Father is well pleased with His son.

He raised him from the dead.

And seated him at his right hand in the glory.

There he lives the die no more.

The Son of Man, the son of God, Jesus Christ the Lord.

Jesus lives.

God Is In Control…

Happy New Year

We stand on the threshold of a new year looking inward for strength and forward for hope, in the midst of our quivering apprehension and excitement.

We fear the future when we can’t see clearly the path that is set before us. Still without knowing what this new year will bring, we can rest in the knowledge and assurance of God promises.

He will never leave us or forsake us. His promises are real. His word is true.

We have nothing to worry about. We have nothing to fear because God is in control.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day. Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Psalm 91 verses 5 to 7.

Fear not I will help you…

Yet To Be 264

For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand saying unto thee, fear not, I will help thee. Isaiah 41 verse 13.

His ways are not our ways.

I will lay me down in peace, and sleep for thou, Lord, only makes me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8

Rest assured God is in control.

His thoughts are not our thoughts.

The finite can never understand the infinite .

He can do anything beyond whatever we think or ask.

He is God.

Fear Not, Be Safe
