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,

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...
