The Father Knows Best


"Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls."
   - Jeremiah 6:16 cf

 Dear Friends,

 The Father knows best.  In the scripture text from Jeremiah it is the Lord who instructs: Stand in the ways, and see.  Stand in the ways.  The path that God has set out is a clear path.  Of course, bramble bushes and thorn and over grown grass and weeds may at times block the way. Yet, the path is clear.
Trust Me.  Follow Me. Believe Me.  Stand in Me.  The Father knows best.

 Standing in the Lord provides clear vision.  This standing requires studying the Word of God.  The Word of God is a clear path.  Standing in the Word, being rooted and grounded in the Word allows us to "see."  Not traveling blindly through. We are following directions issues by God. The Father knows best.

 Ask for the old paths. Psalms, hymns spiritual songs.
Meeting with other believers for prayer.  Prayer meeting.  Order of service.  Decently and in order.
There are some that call the old paths mere tradition.
God knows.  The old paths, the historical perspective, from generation to generation, He is God.  The Father knows best.

 "Ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls."

 The Father knows best.

 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...
