Before the day was I am he…
Before time began, God was there.
There is none who can deliver out my hand…
He will never give you over. He keeps you close.
I will work, and who shall let it?
He will work on your behalf and who can stop it or who can handle it.
There is no one like the Lord.
(Adapted from Isaiah 43 verse 13.)😀
The summer is ending, and it is back to school time. Change is something that can not be stopped.
Change happens in every aspect of life. Sometimes it is hard to accept newness or the difference of things, but if I want to continue to exist in this diverse world, I am learning I have to accept things and try to make them my own.
God helps me with this. I sometimes have not sown the seeds of change, and my harvest is, at times, not what I want, but God sees me through. He can change things to work out for my blessing.
All he asks is for me to believe and trust in him.
I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from there comes my help. Adapted from Psalm 121 verse 1.
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.
Nothing happens by chance with God. There is no such thing as coincidence. Everything works together in God’s master plan.
We may not understand it, but looking back on things we see, His hand is in everything for our good.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3 verses 5 and 6.
Wait and pray or pray and wait.
Things do not happen in our time, but with God, everything is on time.
We can not rush God. His ways are not our ways, and our times are in His hands.
He is perfect. If we trust Him, He will bring it all to pass in the right time.
I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
Psalm 40 verse 1.

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashame: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame. Isaiah 54 verse 4.
His words are true. His love is real.
His promises can never fail.
With his blood, he has bought our hearts.
Now, seen in him, we will never part.
Standing in faith, there is no shame, no press of fear.
Because the God of peace, our eternal Lord, is here and will remain near.

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.

Don’t be afraid when things get overwhelming.
Don’t be afraid when things get overwhelming.
God is not a halfway God; what He promises, He will fulfill.
There is no adding to it or taking away from it.
His ways are mysterious and sure.
When we fall on our knees to pray for help and strength,
God immediately goes to work.
We have only to stop, believe and see the power of His loving kindness.
