Gos gives in abundance

If we follow God.

If we do his will.

If we love God, then we will see His natural kindness.

Even today do I (says God) I declare that I will render double unto thee.  Zechariah 9 verse 12.

Death of a friend…

The home call of a family friend, someone I have known from childhood, puts life into perspective.

Life is so fleeting with all the ups and downs. Yet, within the shadows of these trials and tribulations, there are moments of joy and blessing where there is singing and laughter. The complexities of living are something to hold fast and to give God thanks for all he has done and all he will do.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loaded us with benefits. Psalm 68 verse 19.

For The Moment…113

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hast formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, a d as a watch in the night. Psalm 90 verses 2 and 4.

This is the God we serve. A God of power and of might. He was before all things the Creator. He formed everything with words of his mouth.

He is God. He can do anything.

We have only to believe and he will do it.

For The Moment…97

But if thou shalt indeed oney his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. Exodus 23 verse 22.

He will be your protector.

When the enemy comes up against you, he will fight for you.

God, the creator, your Father, who loves you, will prepare provision for you in the day to trouble.

You have divine protection surrounding you.

Fear not he is with you. Abide in  him, and truly, he will never forsake you in the name of Jesus.

As a child of God, you are covered by the blood of God’s only began son. In the name of Jesus, you walk in peace.

For The Moment…78

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.

For The Moment…72

Sometimes, you feel a distance. Maybe because you ate not right with the Lord at the moment. Sometimes things around you are overwhelming.

Don’t lose heart.

Quiet your spirit and look to the Lord.

He will never cast you away.

If you do not hear his voice or know his instruction, fear not he has not forgotten you.

Precious are you in his sight.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Psalm 51 verse 12

For The Moment…27

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. I shall lack nothing or have any desire that will not be met because the Lord is in control. He will grant me the desires of my heart if I delight in him.

Like a shepherd, he will guide me and protect me. He will take care of me all the days of my life.

God is good. And he knows those of us who trust in him. (adapted from Psalm 23 verse 1 and Isaiah 40 verse 11)

For The Moment…24

He knows them that trust in Him. It is not enough to call Him Savior and go on our merry way, seeing He will never deny us His love. We need to spend time with Him and get to know Him beyond asking for what we need. Thank Him, praise Him, just talk with Him. To know Him is to trust him.

I am the good shepherd…and I am known of mine. (Adapted from John 10 verse 14)

For The Moment…16

The words preserve me are said a great deal throughout the Psalms. The meaning is simple; keep me safe from harm, daily demise, problems in society where I live, and even keep me safe from my wayward thoughts. I trust in the Lord.

Preserve me Lord for in thee do I put my trust.(Psalm 16 verse 1)

Falling…

Yet To Be 310

Although we may fear the uncharted, all the things hidden around the corner, the Lord is in control.

He remains faithful when we fall.

He catches us and holds us close when we are afraid.

There is no one like Him.

If we believe not, yet he abides faithful: he cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2 verse 13.

He loves us.
