For The Moment…109

We pray for things we don’t have, or for things we need, like our health is compromised, the bank is on our tail for payments we can not make, or we desire a promotion we believe we should have.

Regardless of our reasons for praying, we know that our source is the Lord. Without Him, we can’t do anything. He gives strength. He gives means. He creates opportunities.

He is the same in the past, today, and in the future. There is no one like Him. He will never leave us or forsake us.

This is his promise.

His promises are yes. His promises are amen or so let it be.

For The Moment…15

Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

We are certain and believe in things we can not even see. (Hebrews 11 verse 1) Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Neither Good or Bad

Yet To Be # 299

They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.  Jeremiah 10 verse 5.

Some people are good, and in all appearances, they do well.

They are not the ones to fear.

They will do nothing; they will say nothing, nor do they see anything.

They have no life within them.

They will neither be against you or be for you.

They are like a vapor; here, one moment, then gone the next as if the vapor never existed.

God is My Salvation…

Yet To Be #277

Behold, God is my Salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord, Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Isaiah 12 verse 2

He is my protection and in him, will I trust.

I am not afraid of the terror that walks in the day nor of the darkness that shrouds the night.

His song will be forever in my heart and his joy on my lips.

I will praise him forever through all eternity.

He is my strength, my song, and my salvation.

And in him, I lack nothing.

God Is In Control…

Yet To Be # 268

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.

Security In God

Yet To Be# 265

I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved. Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope.

As I put the Lord first in my life, he becomes my guide. Therefore, am I confident and secure in Him and in His loving kindness.

Psalm 16 verse 8 and Acts 2 verse 26.

Fear not I will help you…

Yet To Be 264

For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand saying unto thee, fear not, I will help thee. Isaiah 41 verse 13.

You Are Never Alone

Yet To Be

The Lord is a refuge to them who trust Him.

Fear Not – Speak the Truth

“speak the truth and speak it ever”

Yet To Be # 235

And the King said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? 1 Samuel 28 verse 13

“Speak the truth and speak it ever.”
Don’t be afraid to say what is right.
Speak up for the truth and believe it.
But those who speak what is right have very few friends,
And walk a lonely path.
Rest assured, God is our rewarder and our comforter.
With Him in control we are never alone.

Fear Not – Abide With Me

Yet To Be # 233

Abide thou with me, fear not, for he that seeks my life seeks thy life; but with me thou shalt be in safeguard. 1 Samuel 22 verse 23.

It is a blessing to give refuge to those in need. The spirit and the flesh is weak, but the heart is warm. The soul is fat with gratitude and hope. Give, for the Lord of life will bless you and safeguard your going out and your coming in.
