Dear reader, these times DEMAND that we go all out, whole hog, and get crazy in love with the lover of our soul.
Bask in His Word! Bask in His presence! Bask in His love. Then, allow it to flow to others. This world DESPERATELY needs to see a people who worship and serve the one, true God without fear or reservation.
The Word of God reveals the God of the Word. May we open it prayerfully, carefully, reverently, and often that we might get a better glimpse of the uncreated God.
Mighty God, may we hunger and thirst after … not the gift(s) … but the Giver. Your Word is the BEST snapshot of WHO You are. May we read it and heed it. Amen
Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others.
All we like sheep have gone astray … Isaiah 53:6God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
Mighty God, WHAT a gift on Christmas morn! Born to die that we might live. Oh Jesus, our King, may we place every part of our life into Your precious hands. Amen
Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others!
Mighty God, You can be trusted … period … END OF STORY! You don’t lie. You don’t fail. You don’t falter … EVER! YOU … CAN … BE … TRUSTED! Lord, help us believe. Amen
Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others!
Some things … you just don’t know … until you know them. Pretty profound, aye? Sorry. I’ve been crying so many tears lately I guess I needed a chuckle.
I’ve often wondered what it actually means to walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Never in my life have I been in the midst of a storm as I am at this very hour.
God alone is my hope. God alone is my help.
The verdict is still out on whether or not the cause of the storm matters. Whether it’s a mess brought on by poor choices or the calamity strikes from another source … not sure if it’s any more or less intense.
When fear strikes and you can hardly eat or sleep or think straight … THAT’S a storm.
I’ve cried. I’ve prayed. I’ve turned my eyes fully upon Jesus. I’ve asked others to pray. I am currently digging into the Word of God night and day. So far, I’ve come to a spot where all I can do is worship the King in this unbelievably dark darkness I am in.
He IS sovereign and He WILL deliver.
Dear one, if the pathway is dark and bleak and difficult … keep pressing in. Keep believing. Keep praying. Stay in the Word.
He was, is and will always be faithful and worthy of our praise.
If you are currently experiencing turbulent times … trust. Trust Him. Trust Him. He HAS not, CAN not, and NEVER will fail.
Did you know that the Christian Bible is the best selling book of all time? It is also the most read book of all time!
Go ahead and Google it! It is even listed in the Guinness book of world records!
I find that to be incredibly fascinating, but not too hard to believe.
God inspired the authors of the Bible through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. His Word is a love letter to us, His people, showing us the way to His heart which leads us to eternal life.
His Word gives us instruction, salvation, hope and peace. In both the Old Testament and the New Testament, God’s Word points us to Jesus, who points us to God, the Father.
The Word of God is powerful! Jesus quoted it when He was tempted by satan.
Whether you are reading God’s Word, quoting God’s Word, or sharing it with someone else, you can know that God’s Word will not return empty.
Even if you don’t understand everything you are reading. Even if you are sharing it with someone and you don’t know the exact words to say. God will use His Word and He will accomplish the purpose that He desired for it.
If you aren’t doing so, ask God to help you form a habit of reading His Word every day. I pray that you will gain a greater appreciation and love for God’s Word. I pray that God’s Word will accomplish all that He intends it to accomplish in your life!
So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 NIV
Dr. Tim Hill’s book entitled Furnace Grace. An excellent, MUST read for ANYONE going through the heat of the battle.
Mighty God, thank You for the comfort You give through the Holy Scriptures and by Your Holy Spirit. Your unfailing love NEVER leaves us. Help us today to trust You. Amen
Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others!
