How Can I Trust in the Lord?
“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” – Trust In The Lord There is a reason why that verse says, “all your heart.” Trusting in the Lord with all your heart means, He alone is the one you are trusting to direct you to the right path. You simply ask Him and wait on the answer. I like to write out my questions and then record the answer in my journal. When you ask the Lord for direction and He […]
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 […]
God Will Answer
“Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness…You have freed me when I was hemmed in and enlarged me when I was distressed…” Psalm 4:1 Have you ever felt hemmed in, trapped and unable to move? At that moment you can call upon God, and He will answer you. He will lift you up and free you from the present bondage. He will never leave you or forsake you. The children of Israel were hemmed in and unable to move when they were in bondage in Egypt. But they cried out and called upon God, and He answered. […]
What Do You Magnify?
And Mary said, “My soul doeth magnify the Lord” Luke 1:46 What do you magnify? Magnify, according to Strong’s Concordance means, to make or declare great. Whatever we magnify becomes bigger and bigger in our mind. If you magnify a problem then you can’t see the solution, all you see is the problem. Think about Mary’s problem. The angel came to her and said, “You will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son and shall call His name Jesus.” (Luke 1:31) Mary’s response in Luke 1:38 was, “Behold, I am the handmaiden of the Lord; let it be to me […]
Faith to Stand Firmly Planted
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” I Corinthians 2:9 Your faith in God is the foundation that you stand on when times are hard. The man that built his house upon the sand was swept away when the violent store came. But, the man’s house that was built upon the rock stood strong. You will be able to stand strong as you keep your faith in God and His promises. In every situation look to the Word of God, declare […]
Discouraged? Perhaps Look at Your Expectations
“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 When we delight in the Lord and set our hearts on the goodness of the Lord we can carry His goodness and His loving presence into every situation. David knew he could not look at the circumstances. He had to keep his eyes on the goodness of the Lord. He said, “I would have fainted if I had not expected to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” He set his […]
The Lord Will Raise You Up
“The Lord raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap and the dung hill, that He may seat them with princes, even the princes of His people.” Psalm 113:7-8 The plan of our Heavenly Father is to raise His children up to sit in heavenly places. He wants to raise you up to a higher place than the place where you are sitting right now. If you are poor and needy He wants you to shake off the dust of doubt and worry and trust in Him for your provision. Even in the […]
Learning to Trust Again
“He heals the brokenhearted and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalms 147:3 God has made full provision for healing the pain of past so you can trust again. Have you ever trusted someone to love you that did not know how to love? Or have you ever loved someone that did not know how to receive your love? In both cases you will experience rejection. This type of rejection is very painful especially when it comes from someone whom you really trust. The pain from being hurt by someone you trust is much greater than being hurt by a casual friend. […]
Where Can I Go to Find Safety?
“It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” Psalm 118:8 In the days we are living, there is troubling news on every side. There are wars and rumors of wars, famines, and earthquakes in various places. Everywhere you turn, you hear of devastation. Many are like the man who called our office today from another country asking: Where do I go where it is safe? I couldn’t tell him whether or not he should leave his country, but I could tell him to take refuge in the Lord and He would […]
This is the way, so now walk in it
Whether you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the way; walk ye in it” Isaiah 30:21 When we have decisions to make and doubts are flooding our soul and others suggest courses of action that are conflicting, when caution dictates one approach but faith the other, it is the time to stop and be still. The scripture says, “Be still and know, I am God” (Psalm 46:10). This gives us the permission that it is “ok” to quiet the intruding opinion of others around us and then calm […]
