It is a universal fact that people fail to keep their word.
But God is the Almighty, and he can never go back on his word.
There shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days of your life. God said, “I will not fail you nor forsake you.”
Joshua 1 verse 5
Proving God should be easy. Society pulls us one way, saying we should be independent while the word of God tells us to put our trust in him.
We must be brave and dig deep, holding on to the edge of his garment and believe.
The edge of his garment is his word. Repeat it in your head. Say it out loud and trust him. A few words if hope gives us strength.
Prove him…
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)
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.
Vow and pay unto the Lord your God. Psalm 76 verse 11
If you make a promise to God, please fulfill that promise. We need to remember He is God the almighty. Spoke words to him are not taken lightly.
We trust him to fulfill his promises to us. Why do we not do the same?
I was envious of the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
Psalm 73 verses 3 and 17.
Don’t look at what others have. Concentrate on your own life.
The grass is never greener on the other side it just looks that way.
Live a life pleasing to the Lord, and everything will fall into place.
The wicked and the foolish will get their own just rewards.
O God thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirstieth for thee, my flesh longer for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
Psalm 63 verses 1 and 2.
As we walk the road of life, we are comforted by his presence. As we daily seek him, we grow accustomed to hearing his voice until our desire is to know him more.
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.
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.
In God, will I trust.
He is my rock, solid and sure when troubles come. I can hang onto him, remembering g his promises.
He is my shield. He protects me from the darts of the Devil as he wars against me.
He is my salvation. The Lord has made it possible through his sacrifice for me to be favored by God. I can come into the holy place of God to make requests. I can come to him personally, and he hears my prayers.
In God, do I trust.
