Powerful!





 "God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God."
                                                         - Psalms 62:11




Dear Friends,

At times  there are so many things to do, goals to accomplish and commitments to meet that the weight of "it all" can cause one to feel powerless.  it is then that we can encourage ourselves by remembering that the power to accomplish all that needs to be done is available in the One Who is All Powerful.

In Matthew 28:16 Jesus tells us: " ...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." There is no situation to great, no bully too intimidating, no circumstance so dire that the Lord does not have the ability to control, cancel or redirect.  I remember by father in-law often saying "all means all". Jesus Christ alone is in control.

If for some reason today you are in a place of doubting whether things are going to work out, how the matter can be handled successfully, if things will ever turn around -- remember where power dwells, Power belongs to God.  You don't have to wait until a series of numbers is picked and hope for a one in million chance to win.  When trust is focused on He who never loses, the God who always wins our days are filled with something that surpasses luck.  We have blessed assurance.

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie
Blest Be the Tie that Binds - John Fawcett

1 Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above. 
2 Before our Father's throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares. 
3 We share our mutual woes,
our mutual burdens bear,
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear. 
4 When we are called to part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again. 
5 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way;
while each in expectation lives
and waits to see the day. 
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
