Walking on Water - Week of April 21, 2019

Matthew 14:28-30 King James Version (KJV)

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

Today we celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Bless the Wonderful Name Jesus.
Because He lives we can stand on the assurance that we live also.  Presently and for eternity.  Jesus paid it all.  The account has been settled.
Jesus said, "I am the way."  He told us, "follow me." He proclaimed, "I am the Resurrection and the Life."  He declared, "I and my Father are one."  He invites us, "Come unto me."  He instructs us, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God."
Right now just as with Peter the Lord extends the invitation for us to walk on water.  Water walking exemplifies surrender.  Water walking requires unwavering faith.  To walk on water our life must be surrendered.
Just thinking about Jesus.  O the blood of Jesus.  Shed for you and for me.
Pondering the words of the songwriter: "One day when I was lost He died upon the cross.  I know it was the blood for me."  Jesus.  Just Jesus. Only Jesus could satisfy the requirement of God to secure our redemption.  
I feel like walking on water.  I know the currents will hold me.  I know my passage will be safe.  Jesus is the Captain.  Whether in the safety of a boat signifying the good times or outside of the boat almost submerged in grief, illustrating perilous times, I see the lifeboat coming.  It is Jesus at the helm.
Salvation.
Easter morning or Resurrection Sunday however you acknowledge the day, the importance is in the one who has provided our eternal life. Jesus. Walking on water. Jesus, carrying an old rugged cross.  Jesus, at Mt. Calvary. Jesus rising from the dead with all power in His hands.  Jesus.
Glory to His Name.  I am so thankful. I have such joy in my soul.  I am walking on water, my Lord and I.
God bless!
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. 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...

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...
