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…82

Thou crowned the year with goodness.

Psalm 65 verse 11.

We are almost halfway through the new year of 2024. So far, there were ups and downs. Appointments and disappointment. Sometimes, we smile, but other times we weep.

Not to worry, God is in control, and favor is coming. Blessings will flow if we stay in faith. Faith pleases God. Trust is as a crown for the righteous.

For The Moment…74

I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

Psalm 52 verse 8

If it were not for the kindness of God, life would be most miserable.

His compassions are renewed daily.

Great is faithfulness in times of trouble.

For The Moment …22

Take the whole world, but give me Jesus; no turning back, no turning back. I have decided to follow Jesus.

This original hymn was sung by Nokseng, a Garo man from a tribe in Meghadaya in Assam, which is the northeast of India. The formation of this song to hymn is attributed to an Indian missionary Sadhu Sundar Singh.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God. For I delight in Him. ( Psalm 18 verse 21)

When People Disapprove..

Yet To Be # 295

People may voice their disapproval with you when you walk in faith with the Lord.

Don’t worry about them.

Keep believing in the Lord and trust him where you can not trace Him.

He will keep you safe and be your salvation forever.

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

Isaiah 51: 7

Projecting Fears

Yet To Be # 293

We think about a whole lot of things.

Things we have no control over.

Because of this lack of control, fear creeps into our thoughts.

The what-ifs become insurmountable.

We are consumed with our fears until we seek to share them and project them onto others.

If we for but one moment take our eyes off our fears and look to God he will quiet our hearts and mind.

Look to God; the same God who is all-powerful, almighty, and Creator of the world. Who parted the Red Sea. Who gave power to the least of all nations so that they could conquer their enemies. The God who walked with individuals and communed with them. Who stopped the lion’s mouth, who saved the three servants in the furnace. Who calmed the seas. Who sent his only son to save the world.

Look to God and remember his promises.

He knows the Way

Fear Not #267

He knows the way to take. There is no need to fear. God promises to keep his children safe.

And he led them on safely so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. Psalm 78 verse 53.

Fear Not for God will Help you and Fight Your Battles…

Yet To Be # 244

God’s Promises

God will help you. 
God said, "Call upon me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you."

Yet To Be #81

His promise is complete

Call upon me…

Call upon Him,

He will answer.

Come all the oppressed, cheated, tired and lost?

There is blessing, assurance, rest and freedom in His words;

Cry out with this hope and confidence knowing He said it.

Believing He will do it.

His promises complete.

His promises all yes, amen, faithful and true,

And are all united in Him.

If, when evil comes upon us as the sword, judgement, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house and in they presence,( for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help. 2 Chronicles 20 verse 9
