UNTOUCHABLE!

10-29-2020. . . .UNTOUCHABLE!

"Lord, how I love you! For you have done such tremendous things for me.   The Lord is my fort where I can enter and be safe; no one can follow me in and slay me. He is a rugged mountain where I hide; he is my Savior, a rock where none can reach me, and a tower of safety. He is my shield. He is like the strong horn of a mighty fighting bull.  All I need to do is cry to him-oh, praise the Lord-and I am saved from all my enemies!"   (Ps 18:1-3 TLB) 

No matter how much the enemy relentlessly pursues and attacks us, the Lord himself protects us and keep us safe from all harm.  In spite of weapons formed against us, we remain untouchable. 

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for being our safe place from all hurt, harm and danger.  We love you and look to you for all things!  Amen.

Ps 3:3-8. . . . But Lord, you are my shield, my glory, and my only hope. You alone can lift my head, now bowed in shame.  I cried out to the Lord, and he heard me from his Temple in Jerusalem. Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the Lord was watching over me.  And now, although ten thousand enemies surround me on every side, I am not afraid.  I will cry to him, "Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God!" And he will slap them in the face, insulting them and breaking off their teeth.  For salvation comes from God. What joys he gives to all his people.  TLB

STILL STANDING!

10-28-2020. . . . STILL STANDING!

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." (1 Cor 15:58 KJV)  

A group of friends were bowling one evening.  They each tried hard to make a strike but as it turned out, there would always be one pin left standing.  Although the pin was shaken and rocked from side to side from the force of the impact, it settled and remained standing.  The enemy and even life in general may at times attempt to bowl us over and strike us out.  Don't fall over.  Be the last pin standing.  We've got plenty to stand for!

PRAYER: Lord, when the storms of life are raging, continue to stand by us and strengthen us to continue standing with and by you.  Amen!

Ps 18:1-3. . . .I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.  The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.  I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.  KJV

STAY ENCOURAGED!

10-26-2020. . . .STAY ENCOURAGED!

"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom 8:31 KJV) 

Circumstances change and most certainly, people change. God however, remains the same no matter the circumstance, no matter the people.  If God is for us, (and He is for us) who then can be against us and succeed.  Stay encouraged!

PRAYER: Thank you Lord, for being there for us when circumstances and people around us change. Your constant unchanging commitment and faithfulness to us is our vindication!  Amen.

Ps 138:8. . . .

  The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; 

 

Your lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; 

 

Do not forsake the works of Your hands.

NOTHING TO CHANCE!

10-23-2020. . . .NOTHING TO CHANCE!

"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." (Prov 3:5-6 KJV)  

No one in their right mind would willfully engage in a game of Russian Roulette.  The stakes are too high; the results unpredictable; and one mistake could be deadly!  Failing to trust God and following our own way should be viewed in much the same way!  The stakes are to high; results unpredictable; and one mistake could be deadly!  Leave nothing to chance.  TRUST GOD!

Prayer: Lord, our trust is in you.  The stakes are to high not to!  With you, we expect and have predictable outcomes.  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

THE PRAISE OF HEAVEN!

10-21-2020. . . .THE PRAISE OF HEAVEN!

"In a great antiphonal chorus they sang, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is filled with his glory." 4 Such singing it was! It shook the Temple to its foundations, and suddenly the entire sanctuary was filled with smoke." (Isa 6:3-4 TLB)  

What a wonderful paradigm of praise; spontaneous, continuous and contagious!  So poignant and powerful that it shook the foundations of the sanctuary.   Question: What's moving and shaking our sanctuaries?

PRAYER: Lord, we join with all the heavenly host in declaring your glory!  You are which was, and is, and is to come!  Forever we praise your holy name!

Ps 19:1-3. . . .The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handy work.  Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.  There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.  KJV

BEFORE DURING AND AFTER!

10-20-2020. . . .BEFORE DURING AND AFTER!

"Friends, when life gets really difficult, don't jump to the conclusion that God isn't on the job.  Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner. " (1 Peter 4:12-13 MSG) 

Our God is unchanging!  He is not just a good God today and then when troubles and trials strike, He's all of a sudden something different. No!  He is the same good God before we go through, while we are going through, and after we've come through.  Trust Him in and through every stage.

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for being our unchanging God.  In the mist of turbulent and changing times help us to be equally as unchanging in our trust of you.  Amen!

James 1:17. . . . But whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God, the Creator of all light, and he shines forever without change or shadow. TLB
