God’s Promise: He is your champion
He is your champion
Yet To Be # 159
Where there is envy, that green-eyed monster called jealousy follows close behind.
When those around you form false opinions about you, make wrong accusations about your actions and motives.
Or if bullies rise in strength against you and no one listens to your plight, always remember what the Lord said:
“No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn.” Isaiah 54:17

Faith is “complete trust or confidence in someone or something.”

United?
Hope does not exist without faith. Faith is the fuel that drives hope onward.
“For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea; (Faith) and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (Hope)
Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Faith and Hope United) Mark 11 verse 23 and 24

He is my anchor in the storm
#14 of 31 False Hope?
What if hope is false? What is with great expectations comes great disappointments?
What if indeed?
Surely there is an end and (my) expectancy shall not be cut off. I live in faith for my soul waits upon God, and my expectation is from Him. (Proverbs 23 verse 18 and Psalm 6 verse 25)
He is my hope, my anchor in the storm, therefore I can trust in Him.
This is true Hope without falsehood.
My Ode to Romance Countdown To Valentine Day
Chivalry is still alive today
#2 of 14 Chivalry
“Love suffers long and is kind” 1Corinthians 13:4
In medieval times, acts of chivalry were used by knights to demonstrate commitment, respect, compassion and trust as well as to show noble bravery to a lady when pursuing an honourable relationship with her.
Chivalry is still alive today and can be seen in acts of kindness such as opening a door, pulling out a chair or as simple as returning a warm greeting. Valentine’s Day supports a somewhat chivalrous behaviour by the giving of flowers, chocolate, having a candlelight dinner or showing love and compassion to others in kind words and deeds.

…who against hope believed in hope and hope does not put me to shame. Therefore, my heart is glad because my trust is in the Lord and I wait on him. For his promises are true and He is my hope. It is He who renews my strength, for when I am weak then I am strong. Hence, I can run and not be weary, walk and not faint and fly high above the heavens like the eagles that soar.

A Promise from God
In the book of Zechariah in the Bible, chapter 2 and verse 10B
I will dwell in the midst of thee says the Lord (KJV)
God is saying He will never leave me or forsake me. The Bible says God is holy and he cannot tell a lie. If I trust Him and believe His words there will be no doubts. He is right there for me no matter where I am or where I go. The fear of being alone is clouded when I trust in His word and His presence.
In this modern world seeing is believing and anything written in the Bible is laughed at. That doesn’t matter to me because even when the world around me laughs and says there is no God, I still keep trusting in Him because I know through faith that He is real. The opinions of others doesn’t change that fact. He is the living and true God and I believe in Him.
Knowing that my God will be there for me when I fall or fail in my goals. I may have a bad day. I may be grieving over the loss of a loved one or there is some kind of illness in the family or I can not pay my bills. I am so blessed to be able to call on Him and He gives me strength and provides for me all the time. The Bible says he hears all my prayers.
Lets make this new day a good day and count our blessings. Life is too short to waste and the path of life can get very twisted and hard to walk. We need a guide. How hard would it be to make God your guide.
