What's Your Story?



"Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!That with an iron stylus and lead They were engraved in the rock forever As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth".  - Job 19:23-25

Dear Friends,

Most of us are familiar with the story of Job.  Job a man who pursued righteousness and fled from evil. In so doing he captured the attention of the enemy.  The enemy presented himself before God seeking an opportunity to lay traps for Job in an attempt to turn him away from God.  However, God set boundaries.  The enemy could only push so far.  

 God still sets boundaries.  There is no free for all on the life of a Christian.  The enemy cannot attack at will. He has to get permission from God.  In that permission limits  are set.  Our souls are secure in Christ. They are not up for negotiation.  Tests present themselves for the purpose of producing testimonies. God has already given us the study guide to get us ready.  His Word is Our Guide.

Job wanted his story told.  His desire was that his words would be written in a book.  He wanted his testimony engraved in iron and lead in a rock. God answers Job's request for his story is etched in scripture.  Engraved in the Rock that is Christ, the Word.  His story, the bottom line: "I know that my Redeemer lives..."  Job was confident in the One who has the power to save, heal, deliver and restore and he was not disappointed.  He had made up his mind to wait all the day of his appointed time for the change to come, for the crooked to be made straight.


What's your story?  Do you know that Your Redeemer lives? Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy... (Psalms 107:2)

Your story? "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so."

 in Christ,

"Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.

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
