Rest in Hope - Acts 2:25-26



"For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.  Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also shall my flesh rest in hope." - Acts 2:25-26

 We all get tired sometimes.  Bodies tire.  Minds may become overwhelmed.  Emotions are drained.
Just tired.  Power napping may help.  Going to bed a little earlier may refresh.  Perhaps a good book, a long walk, or some relaxing music to soothe the tiredness.  Good remedies abound.  

 There are times however, that weariness sets in.  The exhausting presence of a weight so heavy that we go to bed with it and rise with it.  But God, has provided the solution for this.

 The Word of God, the presence of Christ with us. God's remedy. This is hope.  Hope in Christ.  Nothing less. There is sweet rest in Him.  Jesus keep us near the cross always mindful that your sacrifice provided our escape. May we abide in His Word. May we study to show ourselves approved unto God. We declare that we are free in Him.  No longer bound by cares of the world.  We can rest in hope.

 "Near the cross. Near the cross.  Be my glory ever.  Till my raptured soul shall find, rest, beyond the river."  - Fannie Crosby

 Rest in hope!

 God bless.
in Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
