"He Will Hear Our Humble Cry and Will Answer By and By"

 
Psalm 34:11-19  (KJV)
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of theLord.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

Dear Friends,

What's taking so long?  We sometimes grow impatient when we have to wait.  The checkout line is too long.
Susie Q is taking too long in the restroom.  The rebate check was supposed to arrive no later than six weeks after being redeemed.  What is taking so long.

Just keep praying. ("I have been...what's taking so long).  Continue to be faithful. ("I never miss service. ...what is taking so long).

The Lord has perfect timing. It is said of Him that He is never too early and never late.  He is always on time.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.  - Isaiah 55:8-11

God will hear us.  He will answer.  The response we receive may not always be what we were hoping for.  Yet, His is always the best response.

  • Keep thy tongue
  • Depart from evil 
  • Do good
  • Seek peace
  • Pursue it
Remember
  • The eyes of the Lord are upon you
  • His ears are open to your cry
  • The righteous cry
  • The LORD hears
  • He delivers
  • The Lord is near when your heart is broken
  • He will protect
  • Trouble don't last always
  • The Lord will take care of all...
  • He is the Strong Deliverer
"He will hear our humble cry! He WILL ANSWER by and by."

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

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...
