"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."  (Jer 29:11 TLB)  Don't doubt your future, believe in it!  It's not in our hands, it's in His; and it looks much better than what is seen right now!  MUCH BETTER!

PRAYER: Lord, when our present challenges cause us to become short sighted about our future, help us to yet trust your word and remember that it will prevail until it is fulfilled!  Amen.

Prov 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.  KJV

“Keep the commandments and keep your life; despising them means death.” (Prov 19:16 TLB) God’s way and His will is expressed through His commands! Obey and abide by them and experience life in all its fullness. Disobey or Deviate from them, experience Death or Separation!    Life or Death? What’s your choice?

OF COURSE GOD CARES!

6-7-2013. . . .OF COURSE GOD CARES!

 

"And why worry about your clothes? Look at the field lilies! They don't worry about theirs. Yet King Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as beautifully as they. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you, O men of little faith?” Matt 6:28-30 TLB   Does God care about the clothes we wear?   Does it really make a difference to God?   While He may not be concern with the designer’s name or tag on our clothes, He is certainly concern and will see to that we in fact, have clothes.    The comparison is made to the lilies!   How beautiful they are, all arrayed with their pedals and stems!   They are designer originals and can’t be duplicated.   If He cares about clothing the lilies, ‘Does God Care about clothing us?”   Don't be of little faith in this regard!  Of course God cares!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for clothing and the capacity to choose what we want to wear. Thank you for the provision and the privilege of doing so. Amen.

 

Matt 6:28-30. . . . And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? KJV

STAND ON IT!

"Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."  (Luke 21:33 KJV)  WORD STRONG!  We can stand on it!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for your word that shall never pass away,  It is the foundation upon which we shall stand forever!  Amen.

Ps 138:2. . . .I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. KJV

REMEMBER WHAT YOU KNOW!

6-5-2013. . . .REMEMBER WHAT YOU KNOW!

"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.  (Isa 40:27-28 KJV)  It is not uncommon for us to experience times of weariness, exhaustion and even become exasperated about our struggles and challenges that may seem will never change.  God however, experiences none of these things!  He remains sovereign, faithful, powerful, in control and has every thing under control!  Don't give up, out, over or in!  Remember what you know!

PRAYER: Lord, from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God!  May our feeble mines never in frustration forget who you are and fail to rely and call on you for strength!  Amen.

Ps 90:1-2. . . .LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.  KJV

I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand."  (Isa 41:10 TLB)  No matter how serious the challenge or how mighty the enemy, we need not fear because God, by His on volition, has chosen to help us!  He promises strength, help, and most importantly, victory!

Prayer: Lord, you are my strength, my help, my Victory!  Thank you for choosing to be on my side!  Amen.

 Ps 27:1-3. . . .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?  When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.  Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.  KJV

ALL ABOUT HIM!

6-3-2013. . . .ALL ABOUT HIM!

"Be delighted with the Lord. Then he will give you all your heart's desires.  Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him to help you do it, and he will."  (Ps 37:4-5 TLB)  When the Lord is the center of our life,  we will be the center of His and He'll prove it by giving us more and more of Him!  The desires of our heart cannot consist of material gain or worldly fame and influence; those things come when its all about Him!

PRAYER: Lord, let our heart's desire be truly for you and about you! Amen!

Matt 6:33. . . .But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. KJV
