Not Shaken, Not Stirred

when you follow the Word of God and look to Jesus, his only begotten Son, you learn life is worth living.

Yet To Be #255

When you listen to the noise surrounding your life, you hear many voices.
Some voices speak words of comfort and peace.
Where others utter words that are sad, and dark, words that are not edifying but disturbing and destructive. These are the loudest and most persistent because they bring along with their burdens of fear and torment.
Finally, there are voices of truth. Truth is a funny thing. It gives freedom in the face of guilt. It gives transparency when there is no vision, yet truth can be dark. Dark only because it shines a light in areas you strive to keep hidden.
These are the voices that should be heard.
Although their sting can be painful, their resolve is sure and honest.
As you listen to those words of truth, you begin to hear the voice of the Lord in a sea of noise. By His words of truth, you become unshaken and not stirred by the changing matters of this life. When you follow the Word of God and look to Jesus, his only begotten Son, you learn life is worth living.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death; I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Psalm 23 verse 4

My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me

Prayer Warrior Hears His Voice

Amidst all the noise and clattering of words, there are many voices to be heard.
The good voice that gives advice and comfort in a time of need.
The kind voice that claims all is well.
The angry voice that disputes a wrong.
Then, the vengeful voice that demands dark justice.
Strange voices are heard far too often, and yet above their deafening cacophony, His voice rings strong and sure in the ears of His children.
Those who are not His, have no ears to hear, no hands to lift in praise and no heart to understand the whispering surety of his words.
Words that call out to us in the day, in the night, so many times loud and clear, enough to drown the noise into silence.
And we know his voice when we listen for its tonality, its texture, and its vernacular, a dialect belonging solely to him.
A gentle sound saying, “You, child of mine, come, and let us two go forward.”

And your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, this is the way, walk you in it when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27

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.
