For The Moment…122

Nothing hits God by surprise. He knows the end from the beginning. We are like grasshoppers before him , yet he has compassion towards us. His loving kindness is for now and forever.

When we feel afraid, thrown into the deep without a life jacket, we must remember he is the rock of our salvation.

Fear not just whisper his name. He is the Deliver.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

Psalm 123 verse 2

For The Moment…121

We should not limit God. He is the same God who called into existence those things that did not exist.

There is no limit to his power and no measuring his love.

When we ask, we need to sit back and let him take control. He will do great things and different things you never thought about.

He is infinite.

Call unto me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.  The Lord is his name.

Adapted from Jeremiah 33 3 and 2 b.

For The Moment 117

If God is for you, then who can be against you.

You have nothing to fear. You have nothing to worry about. He sets a path of blessing before you to walk in all peace and confidence.

If God says yes, then no one can say no.

For The Moment 116

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…

Sing aloud unto God our strenght…Psalm 81 verse 1.

God sits on His throne in heaven, and yet he thinks of me.

He makes a path in which there is no way to walk.

He provides when there is little to receive.

He makes big my progress when I am pushed down.

He is my strength.

I will praise him forever.

For The Moment…100

Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fearth the Lord, she shall be praised. Proverbs 30 verse 31.

Fearing the Lord does not always mean to run and hide away from him because he is a God of judgment.

There is reverential fear. This is when you own him as Lord. You praise him. And you bow the knee in adoration.

It is when you understand his holiness and that it demands your honor and praise and love.

For The Moment…98

In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 

He was their guide, and He gave them protection.

He brought streams out of the rock and caused waters to run down like rivers.

When they were thirsty and faint, he gave them water to drink.

And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

They kept on the path of sin even when they saw how God took care of them.

Yea, they spake against God; they said, “Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?”

Ungrateful heart and slow to understand the love of God. He takes care of us because we are His children. Yet we are so undeserving of his love.

Adapted from Psalm 78 verse 14 to 19.

For The Moment…96

Let us walk in the light of the Lord.  Isaiah 2 verse 5.

Light illuminates. It reveals the direction to take. It can be a beacon in the middle of darkness as a guide to safety.

As we walk in the Lord’s light, we will see a clear path for our feet so they will not slip. We will not fall but if we do for any reason fall or even stumble maybe because our legs are tired and our mind need rest, the Lord will pick us up and hold our hand to give us strength so we can keep moving forward.

He is a good God.

For The Moment…91

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge; he putters down one and setters up another. Psalm 75 verses 6 and 7.

God is in control and will not give his power to another.

When things are going well, we have that notion to believe it is all by our own strength. But God gives the strength and clears the way on our path.

We can trust him. Because He does know the way through this wilderness we call life.

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.
