Time Alone With God
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; he has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be […]
Expect to See The Impossible
“I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 We read of the children of Israel in Psalm 106:12, “Then they believed His promises and sang his praise.” Unfortunately, they did not believe until after they saw Him work in their situation. They were in doubt when they came to the Red Sea, but when He opened the way and led them across safely and Pharaoh and his army drowned–“then they believed.” They continued to live this kind of seeing-is-believing, up-and-down existence, because their […]
Your Burdens Roll Away
“Commit your ways to the Lord (roll and repose each care of your load on Him); trust (lean on, rely on and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:5 Amp You have probably found, as I have, that every problem has a weight to it, and some are heavier than others. If you have committed your ways unto the Lord and are trusting in Him to work things out, then you must release the heavy weight and not take it back again. Do not worry about it; trust Him. This does not […]
Our Greatest Need
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believed in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 Our greatest need is love, and the greatest gift is love. Everyone in the entire world needs the gift of love, but it is not the world’s kind of love- it is God’s kind of love! God’s love is unconditional, which means we do not have to do anything to earn it or deserve it. We just receive it. Love that must be earned is conditional love. When certain conditions or requirements must […]
The Lord is My Refuge
But let all those who who take refuge and put their trust in you rejoice; let them ever sing and shout for joy… Psalm 5:11 God designed us with feelings to be able to monitor our environment. He also gives us the wisdom to learn from our mistakes and failures. This wisdom can be used alongside our feelings so that we will not get trapped in unhealthy relationships or stay in dangerous or unsafe places. When we take refuge in the Lord and trust in Him, He will direct us to a safe place, and we will know it is […]
God Uses Broken Things
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” Psalm 51:17 We can look at Scripture and be assured that God uses all things, even the broken pieces of our lives. He will carefully hold each piece in His hand until just the right time, and then He uses it for good to help someone else. After we have been healed of painful hurts and then repent for our own sinful responses, our testimony of God’s redemption is complete. Before repentance, we tend to blame others or live in denial, […]
Take the High Way
God’s ways are higher than our ways. Have you ever stopped to think that if you are trusting in what you see with the natural eye or your own abilities you are living in a lower level than where God intended for you to live? His way of life is much higher than your way of life and standard of living. In comparison, your standard of living is as backwards as living back in the day when the weekly trip to the grocery store was made in a horse and wagon. Back then they couldn’t fathom flying across country in […]
Watch God Work
God’s Word does not return to Him void! His Word will accomplish what He sent it to planet earth to accomplish. Twenty five years ago I was given a scripture based prayer and encouraged to pray it diligently for each family member. At the time my husband and I only had one daughter, so that seemed do-able. I printed the prayer out, placed it in my Bible and prayed it every day, with my husband and daughter’s name in the prayer. As I read this prayer today, in the Amplified version, I was amazed at how this simple prayer had […]
Worship Me and Watch Me Work
This morning as I sat with the Lord in a quite time, He showed me the key that will solve every problem and conquer every fear. As I was praying for strength, wisdom, guidance and direction for the day, the sun began to rise. When the first ray of sunlight hit my face I heard the Lord’s voice, “just worship Me.” At that moment all the concerns I had for myself and others were gone as the Lord said, “Worship Me and Watch Me Work.” My prayer for wisdom ceased. My prayer for strength was fulfilled. My prayer for guidance […]
