If It Had Not Been for the Lord On My Side




Psalm 139:7-10King James Version (KJV)

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

Dear Friends,

"If it had not been for the Lord on my side tell me where would I be? Where would I be? Where would I be?  He kept my enemies away. He let the sun shine through a cloudy day. He rocked me in the cradle of His arms when He knew I had been battered by the storm."
     - Margaret P. Douroux

When I look back to the many times when I tried to flee from the will of God I learned there was no hiding place.  Thank God when we do not know what is good for us He remains good to us.  There is no place we can go where He is not.  Brothers and sisters wherever we are God is.

The safest place, the place of content is in the will of God.  He says soldier of my child turn right and we turn right.  God says start moving until I tell you to stop and we obey.  The move may be a crawl, a walk, a trot or a run.  Whatever the case we are follow His command.

During the times when I thought I would do it my way and take a short cut, God was still there. When I hid in the valley because I thought the mountain He assigned me to climb was too hard, the Lord didn't leave me. He gave me another chance.  Some journeys have taken longer than they should have because I didn't get obey the first time. Yet the Lord has always kept me.

If it had not be for the Lord on my side, where would I be?
Thank you God for keeping me day by day.  Thank you for your protection and comfort.  Thank you Lord.
Bless your Holy Name.

in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

Unlimited Access

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"     - I Timothy 2:5 Dear Friends, "Please listen carefully for our options have changed."  I stay on the line listening to each option. More often than not there are at least seven.  If none of the options meet the need you have the final option of pressing "0" for the operator.   I praise God that on this Christian journey.  The access options do not change.  There is only One. One God, One Mediator, the man Christ Jesus. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with unlimited access to the throne of God. We are never put on hold when we reach out to God. Prayer is a direct line through Jesus Christ.  Our worship, our praise is to the One and Only God.  Worthy is the Lamb. Praise God for Unlimited Access through Jesus Christ Our Lord. God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...

Blessed Are They That Believe

Luke 1:39-47 King James Version (KJV) 39  And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40  And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 41  And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42  And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43  And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44  For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45  And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 46  And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Dear Friends, Seasons Greetings!  When...
