The Darkest Hour is Just Before Day

Psalm 51:12King James Version (KJV)

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Dear Friends,

There are times in our lives when the Lord takes us through a period of restoration. Our strength is depleted. We know the Lord is near even when the attacks of the enemy are relentless.  Finding myself in such a place, the Holy Spirit brought to mind the words to a song, "the darkest hour is just before day."  
It can be hard to find our way in the dark even in places that are familiar. We bump into things. "Ouch! I hurt my leg on the couch I should have remembered it was there. Now I have a bruise." Well known territory can become a scary place in the dark. 
Our saving grace in the darkness is the Light that never grows dim. Jesus illuminates the most powerful darkness. In Him there is no darkness at all.
Well, what does all this have to do with the blog? I could not see my way to the blog in the darkness. I had to wait for daybreak. 
I can share this with you. The ties that bind the body of Christ are a threat to the enemy. But God through the blood of Jesus has bound the body together, knit the body together through the precious blood of His Son.
The Holy Spirit wraps us up and holds us tight through every valley, dark cave and blind spot that comes against us.  

"Blessed be the ties that bind our hearts in Christian love. The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above."

Until we meet again...God bless!

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. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. 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...
