The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear”.  The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?   -Psalm 27:1 The stars are always shining, but they are only visible to us when the night is most dark.  And, sometimes God’s Presence is most vivid to us during our moments of darkness, during those times of struggles.    There are some things in life that God teaches only...

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.     -2 Chronicles 20:17 God has called us to walk in victory.  The battle is not yours but the Lord's, yet how do you get the victory in the midst of the chaos you ...

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:  -1 Peter 4:12 Don't be surprise at the fiery ordeal the has come along side you to test you.  But, rejoice!    God is working something out in you and through you.  This is for His glory and for your good.

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.  John 12:46 Being in the dark about God’s purposes for your life will keep you forever living beneath your means.

The time is now to follow Jesus...

We can be loosed from thoughts and habits that bind us.  Jesus came that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly.  With Jesus, we can live life in overflow because it is through and by the anointing  of the Holy Spirit that we are able to exceed the limits of what we can do:              " Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we            ...

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which  God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”   -Ephesian 2:10 Like rocks in a riverbed, made smooth by the continuous pressure of water, so are we changed by the continuous washing by the Word of God.

"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."  -Proverbs 4:23 Set a watch at your mind. If you are to have any peace, and any joy, then you must focus your attention on things above and not on things of this earth.   In the world we will have tribulation, but Jesus overcame the world.

"Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck.  I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold.  I have come into the deep waters,  the floods engulf me.  I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched.  My eyes fail, looking for my God."  -Psalm 69:1-3 (NIV) Why do the righteous suffer and the ungodly oppress those who fear the LORD? Everyone at one time or anothe...

Do not be agitated by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong. For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender green plants.    Psalm 37:1-2 (CSB) In these challenging times, you can trust God with whatever it is that your are facing today. He will keep you and protect you, if you put your trust in Him. God is touched by your infirmities.  He knows and He understands.  Put your complete...

" O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. " (Psalm 34:8) Open wide your mouth, and God shall fill it! To receive their nourishment, the baby bird must first open wide its' mouth.  For us to receive our petitions; we must open wide our hearts in faith towards God. God will fill out mouths with good things if we stay loyal to Him. Obedience brin...
