It is Time to Receive the Truth
Do not believe the lies that the enemy throws at you. Trust God, for his word is True! “Receive and welcome the Word, which implanted and rooted [in your hearts], contains the power to save your soul.” James 1:21 Amp One morning, I overslept. The sun was already out, shining brightly through the window. I ran to the garden, and as I ran down the sidewalk I saw that the dew was gone. I had missed meeting with God. I immediately had an old thought, a lie I had believed for years. The lie was: “If I mess up, God […]
Wait For The Lord
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:14 My hope is in you Lord! Many times, the things that you are hoping for may require a time of waiting. Patiently waiting is a spiritual discipline. This means it must be practiced in order for it to be established as a part of your nature. By nature we are impatient and want things to happen quickly. When you run ahead of the Lord instead of waiting patiently for Him, you will find yourself tired and weary. When you […]
You Shall Walk
“You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land which you shall possess.” Deut. 5:33 The Lord has a path on which we are to walk. We are to walk in His ways regardless of our circumstances. God promised us in Deut. 5:33 that if we walk in His ways, we will live a long life and things to work together for our good. Even when our circumstances do not appear to be […]
The Signs of His Presence
“…The sign of your presence; You make the places where morning and evening have birth shout for joy” (Psalm 65:8). Have you ever traveled down an unfamiliar road, earnestly looking for a sign that says you are on the right track? I have. It was such a relief to finally see the sign and to know that I was going in the right direction. I would like to share with you a wonderful discovery that I saw in God’s Word this morning. In Psalm 65, David said that we can see with our own eyes a sign of the presence […]
Hear His Voice
“Unto you do I cry, O Lord my rock, be not deaf and silent to me…” Psalm 28:1 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 […]
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 […]
What is Perfect Love?
“Perfect love casts out all fear, for fear hath torment. And he that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:18 We are born with a need for love and fear is waiting at the door when we don’t receive it. The first time we are touched and held as an infant, the need for love is met, but only for a moment. As an infant, the ability to hold on to love has not been established. The ability to hold on when someone says they are holding you is what we call “trust”. Just as […]
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, […]
He Heals the Broken Hearted
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3 Connecting with people is sometimes very difficult to do. And how heartbreaking it is when – for whatever reason – we can’t seem to connect even with those who are closest to us. If you have been hurt in a relationship, you may be guarding your heart and fearful of being hurt again. It is very hard and even impossible to connect when you can’t lay your guard down and open your heart. Trust God to heal your heart that has been wounded or betrayed and is now broken. […]
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.
