Trust And Obey

When you listen to what you think, what you feel, what you see, or what your heart tells you—you are in trouble. 

You can’t trust your eyes; they don’t see everything.  You can’t trust your feelings, because we are called to walk by faith not by feelings. You certainly can’t trust your heart; it’s a liar, Jer. 17:9.

You never know what Heaven has planned for your life.  

God may be about to use you in a powerful wonderful way but before He can, He may have to keep a few secrets from you. Are you willing to trust Him anyway?

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Oh How Amazing Is Amazing Grace

Grace is defined as the "underserved love and favor of God toward fallen man". 

When you consider all that this means, it’s an awesome thought.  

Titus 2:11-13 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 

[12] Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 

[13] Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Grace means that any sinner can be saved—Redeemed—Forgiven of sins.  Any storm can be weathered. Any situation can be faced. 

Grace will teach us how to live in this world and give us hope for the future. 

I'm glad God is patient with His little imperfect children. That's just His grace.

Sweet Hour Of Prayer

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

When we approach the Lord in prayer, we need to remember to Whom we are speaking.  He is Lord.  He is awesome.   

By faith we can rest in the knowledge that our Father is God—that He is in Heaven—that He occupies the throne of glory—that He sees and knows everything there is to know about us—and that He hears and answers our prayers.

Let’s come into His presence and worship, honor and glorify Him. Then we will be in  close communion with Him, and that opens the storehouses of His glory in our lives.

. . . . “Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height, I view my home and take my flight.
This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise To seize the everlasting prize,
And shout, while passing through the air, “Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”

—William W. Walford 1845

God’s Way Is Perfect

The days of battle have ended for King David, and he knows he is nearing the end. Perhaps it was during those long days in the palace that he began to reflect back on a life lived for the Lord (2 Samuel 22).  

A mighty king ruling a great kingdom, David enjoyed absolute victory. Here’s a couple of his thoughts. 

2 Samuel 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

2 Samuel 22:47 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

The same God that strengthened David is the same God who has promised to strengthen us (Isaiah 40:31). 

Thank God, we are the partakers of His divine providence as we move through all the valleys, trials and burdens of our lives.
