For The Moment…68

Jesus wept.

John 11 verse 35

This is the shortest verse in the Bible, and yet it speaks volumes.

It as we cry, he cries with us. He is touched by our feelings.

He is with us in trouble we go through because he can not deny his love for us. He can not leave us.

He is faithful and will pull us out of the trouble. No matter where we are.

We have nothing to fear knowing he is near.

He stays closer to us than a brother.

He is our shield, and he is our great reward.

We have everything in Christ Jesus.

Psalm 37 verses 1 to 5

Don’t worry about people who are not for you. People who pull you down. Those who discredit you. People who speak badly about you. Maybe at work there is a co-worker who is getting everything: the promotion, more money, the accolades. You do the same job, and yet no one notices you, but management gives that coworker the upper hand.

Maybe a friend is getting married and then another and another and you look around and there is no one for you.

Maybe a relative is just so ungrateful after you helped them financially, and they don’t remember your good deeds. Now, look at you with all those bills plying up, and you have no way out.

Don’t worry.

Let all of these people do what they do, but you stay close to the Lord and enjoy His word.

Those people will not last with their joy because it is only for a short time.

You will be rewarded. The Lord will bless you in His time.

Stay strong in the Lord and the power of His might.

Fear Not

For not for thou shalt not be ashamed neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shamed. Isaiah 54 verse 4

Fear Not and Do Not Be Shaken

My belief stands firm because he is my hope.

Yet To Be #254

I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
I am not shaken.
When the darkness of my thoughts threatens to consume me, he is always there to lead me to the light.
My belief stands firm because He is my hope, my shield, and my reward.
I fear not because I am always in his remembrance.
