Strong and of Good Courage

“Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” - Deuteronomy 31:6

Keep holding onto your faith.  Walking by faith and not by sight is not an easy walk.  Yet, it is a certain one.  The certainty comes in knowing that Faithful God is ordering our steps when we choose the path of faith.  In times like these, it is good to know that the Lord is leading and we only need to follow His guidance.  Human nature is prone to wander away and to look at what we can see.  

These days we are being told to follow the science.  We should give honor to whom honor is due.  God has ordained science. It is used by God to help us in our earthly lives.  Doctors, nurses, and all on the front lines deserve our respect and appreciation.  We need to take heed to wise counsel.

God deserves first honor, all adoration and praise, for He is is control of all.  He is the Great Physician.  Our reverence goes to God alone. God keeps making a way in the wilderness.  He uses who He will or may to get things done.  Be strong and of good courage.  Our strength is in God.  We can have good courage and great expectations because we serve Great God.

Some days it is overwhelming.  Bad news floats all around us.  Not easy to be strong.  Not easy to be courageous.  But just because it is not easy does not mean it is impossible.  Remember, let the weak say: I am strong.(Joel 3:10)  Remember: the joy of the Lord is our strength. (Nehemiah 8:10)  Remember, wait on the Lord and be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say on the Lord. (Psalm 27:14)

“Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

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
