The Pursuit Of A Promise

"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the LORD, who has compassion on you." Isaiah 54:10

These things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! Habakkuk 2:3 (LB) Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. ~ XXOO Michelle #LiveRestored #MindBodySoul Restored Ministr...

"[Love] … is not easily angered." (1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV)

Jesus thought you were worth dying for! I, I am the Lord, and besides me there is no Savior.~ Isaiah 43:11 ESV Your money can't save you Your name can't save you Your position can't save you Your religion can't save you Your works can't save you Your ministry can't save you Your church can't save you Your family can't save you Your good looks can't save you You can't even save you.... Only Jesus c...

Attention, all! See the marvels of GOD! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. “Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything.” - Psalm 46:10

God values us no matter what we do or what we have done. He sees our value even when others don't. He loves us beyond anything we could imagine. Surrender to God and allow Him to lift off the shame you feel. He will make you stand firm and without fear. God is the only One that rescues us from shame's power. Then you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and without fear. ~ Job...

Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing. —James 1:2-4 AMP

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. —1 Corinthians 13:7 AMP

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 God gave us a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?" ~William A. Ward

"Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts." (Proverbs 4:23 GN)

Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And He did! His light broke through the darkness and He led us out in freedom from death’s dark shadow and snapped every one of our chains. —Psalm 107:13-14 TPT

For women (and Men) who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do. —1 Timothy 2:10 NLT. So go do good things!

Even if a king has the best-equipped army, it would never be enough to save him. Even if the best warrior went to battle, he could not be saved simply by his strength alone. Human strength and the weapons of man are false hopes for victory; they may seem mighty but they will always disappoint. The eyes of the Lord are upon even the weakest worshipers who love him— those who wait in hope and expect...

I love that word! More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters, more majestic than the waves of the sea, majestic on high is the Lord! —Psalm 93:4 NRSV

"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16 (NIV)

Blessings and Curses should not occupy the same space in your heart. Abstain from evil [shrink from it and keep aloof from it] in whatever form or whatever kind it may be. — 1 Thessalonians 5:22 AMP

"Judge not the workings of his brain, And of his heart you cannot see. What looks to thy dim eyes a stain, In God's pure light may only be A scar brought from some well-won field Where thou wouldst only faint and yield." Let's be discerning, but not condemning! ~Unknown "Judge not, lest you be judged." (Matthew 7:1)

We may have trained our words and actions to be pleasing and acceptable to God, but what about our thoughts and passions? And “every movement of our heart”... are they pure and pleasing? *** So, may the words of my mouth, my meditation-thoughts, and every movement of my heart be always pure and pleasing, acceptable before Your eyes, my only Redeemer, my Protector-God. ~Psalm 19:14 TPT

You’re my place of quiet retreat; I wait for your Word to renew me. ~Psalm 119:114 MSG

We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unsw...

Scripture knows no boundaries. Regardless of sex or race or age - The Word of God rescues and restores ALL. There is no problem you can't overcome with the Power of His Holy Spirit and the Promises in His Word. Let His Truths Transform your life. #LiveRestored Before time itself was measured, the Voice was speaking. The Voice was and is God. ~John 1:1 THE VOICE In the beginning was the Word, and t...

Hurting others is the only rights we should give up ... Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs. Proverbs 10:12 Forgiveness is surrendering my right to hurt you for hurting me. --Archibald Hart Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT)

If you haven't had a need met yet, ask yourself... Would God view this as a true need? He may be delaying until a more appropriate time. Trust God's wisdom rather than doubting His goodness. If we have a genuine need and bring it to the Lord, He will surely meet it. After all, what could He possibly deny us after giving us Jesus. He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up...

Just as you’ll never understand the mystery of life forming in a pregnant woman, So you’ll never understand the mystery at work in all that God does. - Ecclesiastes 11:5 MSG

Make it your most earnest pursuit to go deeper with God today. Lift your soul (your mind, will, and emotions)up to Him and listen for His direction. It’s into the “deeper things” we must learn to go. Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you. —Psalm 143:8 BBE
