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.

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help.

Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...
