That's a Promise - Week of June 2, 2019

Psalm 37:3-5 King James Version (KJV)

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Dear Friends,
Just pondering the promises of God.  A promise, according to Merriam Webster is:
  • a declaration that one will do or refrain from doing something specified
  • reason to expect something
  •  ground for expectation of success, improvement, or excellence
The Psalmist tells us to "trust in the Lord and do good"
  • so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. (That's a promise)
We are told to "Delight thyself also in the Lord" 
  • and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. (That's a promise)
We are admonished to: "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him"
  • and he shall bring it to pass. (That's a promise)
Whatever God has declared we can expect.  That's a promise.

Our expectation is sure and our success certain when we trust in God.  That's a promise.

God is the God of Excellence.  Excellent is His Name.  Every Word the Lord has spoken will be fulfilled.  That's a promise.

Peaceful God. Powerful God. Promise.

God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

THANKFULLY

  Philippians 1:3   “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,” Wherever you are today, I thank God for you. Family, friends and all. I thank God. I praise God for allowing our lives to intersect in some way. May this day and every day be filled with gratitude. I pray that grace and peace abound.  Let mercy and grace be multiplied. Thankfully, the Lord God has brought us, from a mighty long way. God bless✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie 

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
