Your Life is Shielded by the Hand of God
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, and Your right hand has held me up; Your gentleness and condescension have made me great. Psalms 18:35 (Amplified) Have you ever felt alone and nervous as you were about to confront a high-stress situation? Did you overwhelmed and wonder how you could possibly get through it without anyone else helping? The good news is, God is always with us regardless of the situation. How comforting it is to know that our life is shielded by the hand of God. He literally holds us in his hand and nothing can […]
Are Your Feelings Affecting your Focus?
13. I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 14. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27: 13-14 Do you believe that scripture? If not, what is it you are focusing on? When we set our hearts on the goodness of the Lord we carry His presence into every situation. No matter what the circumstances are we must focus on the goodness of the Lord. If we look at our circumstances and ‘give in to our feelings’ we will sink […]
Take the Path of Life
“Show me the path of life…” Psalm 16:11 God knows exactly what is going on in your world. He has provided everything you need to live during these times; and actually He has provided a way for you to live in peace even during times of trouble. Find the path of life, the peace of God. Once you find the path of life, stay there, don’t let your heart be troubled. Stop allowing yourself stray off the path, lost and fearful. You have a choice; you simple stay on the path. You have a choice daily; so don’t allow your […]
Surrendering to God’s Will
“Our Father which art in Heaven, hollowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven…” Matthew 6: 9-13 Have you ever wondered what God’s will for your life is? His will is simply for us to live and maintain His kingdom here on earth. God’s kingdom is distinct and a different way of life. Jesus taught us how to pray for the kingdom to come on earth, how He would work in us, and showed us how to live and work inside the kingdom. When Christ is in you, it is […]
When you just don’t understand…
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not onto your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path”. – Proverbs 3:5 Do you have a difficult time trusting God? Do you worry, fear, or stress about circumstances in your daily life? If you’re having a difficult time trusting God, I want you to understand something. Take a look at your relationship with your earthy father. Like looking through dark sun glasses, you may be seeing your heavenly Father dimly. The way we viewed our earthly father can hinder us from seeing […]
Enter into the Presence of the Lord
“By this I know that you favor and delight in my, because my enemy does not triumph over me. And as for me you have upheld me… and set me in your presence forever.” Psalm 41:11-12 amp This verse is talking about the secret place in the presence of the Lord. He calls us to come and enter into His presence. How comforting to know that even when we are tired and weary, it is God who actually lifts us up and sets us in His presence. Nothing can harm me when I am in his presence! Nothing can rob […]
I am Safe During any Storm!
“For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.” – Psalm 27:5 If tomorrow you have a “day of trouble” can you keep your heart fixed on the goodness of the Lord? When you keep your heart fixed steadfastly on His goodness you are able to weather any storm. You will travel safely though the terrible storm just like Noah was kept safe inside the Ark. Think for a moment, what if the Holy Spirit quickened […]
If I had Wings…
“Oh, that I had wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.” Psalm 55:6 The stresses of life can be so overwhelming. I often fall into the discouragement of situations, rather than focus on the One who truly cares for me and is ready to sustain me. Bearing the burden of crushing weight actually gives Christians wings. This may sound like a contradiction in terms, but it is a blessed truth. While enduring a severe trial, David cried, “Oh, that I had wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.” Yet before […]
Awakened in my Faith!
“Aroused by faith, Moses, when he had grown to maturity and became great…” Hebrews 11:24 It is interesting that Moses had to be aroused by faith. The word “arouse” means to be awakened; to be stirred up and awakened from slumbering. We can get so consumed and overwhelmed with the struggles of life that we become discouraged to the point that our spirit slumbers, or shuts down and sleeps. When you give in and are overcome by discouragement, you have a slumbering spirit. An awakened spirit keeps you focused on what God is doing; even in the midst of trouble, […]
