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.

The Lord is:

  • My rock
  • My fortress
  • My Deliverer
  • My God
  • My strength
  • My buckler
  • The horn of my salvation
  • My high tower

He is altogether lovely. (Psalm 18 verse 2 and Solomon 5 verse 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)

He clears a path that is clear and bright. He guides when you can not see straight. He gives counsel when you are confused. And he assures you of his presence so you are not alone.

Fear not for I have redeemed thee, I have called you by my name; you are mine. (Isaiah 43 verse 1)

In God we trust.

If God be for you then who can be against you?

Sometimes, when things go wrong, and those around you rise up in false witness against you, discouragement sets in, and depression drives you into distress. Remember, those who seek to discredit you will not last. Their vain, brief victories will end. When God is for you, no one can be against you. ”The Lord is king forever and ever. The Lord hast heard the desire of the humble. In the Lord, put your trust.” Psalms 10 and 11.

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. 2 Chronicles 20 verse 12 – from Zoom Meeting – S. Martin

  • Prayer of Jehoshaphat before confronted by enemies.
  • We have no power on our own and do not know what to do, but our eyes are on the LORD, and we should not be afraid.
  • Look to the Lord; he is faithful.
  • We praise him for all that is past and trust him for that is to come

The Lord is our hope

Lord Jesus is our only real hope. – from New Year’s Zoom Meeting – K. Martin.

Call unto me, and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33, verse 3

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

And he said unto him, Fear not for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee and that also Saul my father knoweth. 1 Samuel 23 verse 17.

It is sad that Jonathan, Saul’s son, chose the wrong side and died with his father instead of standing at King David’s side. One mistake can lead to dire consequences. Say as Joshua did: choose today whom you will serve, but for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Be strong and of good courage.

Once you experience God’s goodness, you can go on to encourage others.

neither be thou dismayed.

Have not I commended thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

  • Joshua 1 verse 9

God tenderly guides his children to safety.

Be brave, knowing he is with us wherever we go.
