No Words

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31 Sometimes there are no words. Yet, there is always the Word of God.  Within the scriptures there is hope. There us comfort.  Sometimes there are no words. But always there is the Word of God.  God bless! In Christ, Sis.

In Due Season

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.   - Galatians 6:9  The Bible teaches us that there is a time for everything. To everything there is a purpose. Sowing and reaping this is the process.  I love lilacs. When I plant lilacs I expect lilacs to bloom not lilies. Now I love lilies too.  But if I don’t plant them I cannot look for them in my garden.  Spiritual plants need to be planted also. Sow peace. Plant love. Sow hope. Plant joy. Row by row and role by role. What do you mean Tyus? Garden landscapes change. Seasons change.   For me this current life chapter is peace. I’m seeking it. I am pursuing it. In the process I hope to sow peace.  Jesus said Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Continue to do good. Keep sowing good seeds. It will be all right in due season. Don’t give up! God bless! In Christ, Sis. Stephanie 

Press Delete and Then Move Forward

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.          - Philippians 3:13-14  Forgetting what is behind.  Putting one foot in front of the other we forge ahead.  We will not go backwards.  We will not give up ground.  The songwriter penned: "Just can't give up now.  Come too far from where I started from."  Press delete and then move forward. When the enemy comes to accuse and throw the past in your face,  tempting you to look back at who you were before you were a believer, forget it  God has.  His word says:   For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.   As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.  (P...

Control Shift

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.         - Isaiah 26:3 I was looking at my computer key board and my eyes fastened on two keys: ctrl and shift. Shift control. Control shift. Fasten our eyes and look to Our Present Help.  Control shift. Have faith in God. We cannot manage life on our own.  We cannot in our own strength overcome the challenges bombarding us daily.  God can and will manage the life yielded to him.  God can quiet the storms.  Control shift. Have faith in God. Fear is rampant.  Worry is prevalent in the hearts and minds of many. Despair and loneliness threaten the well being  of multitudes.  Control shift.  Have faith in God. Faith in God must be our focus.  Faith in God will cause mountains to move. Faith in God will settle us  Faith in God will add strength.  Faith in God works. Control shift. Shift control.  Have faith in...

Grace Will Lead Us On

 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:                 - Romans 5:17-20 “Through many dangers, we’ve already come. ‘Twas grace that brought us safe thus far and grace will lead us on.“ God’s grace. Grace, unmerited favor. The Lord God has bestowed. We do not deserve it. Grace. We cannot pay for it.  Grace.  We cannot earn it.  Grace.   God has redeemed.  By grace we are saved through faith. A g...

The Lord Our Help and Shield

Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.  Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord : he is their help and their shield.     - Psalm 115:1-8,11  Heavenly Father, We thank and praise You and glorify Your Name. Today we come in bold approach to Your Throne in the Name of Jesus Christ. The Lord Our Help and Shield.  You have instructed us in Your Word to rejoice with those who rejoice and...

Trust, Delight, Commit...

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. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.                    - Psalm 37:3-8  Have faith in God. Trust. Be joyful in salvation and in the Word of God. Delight. Acknowledge God by putting Him first. Commit.   Be confident in the knowledge that the Lord is always with you. Rest.   Don’t get distracted by wrong. Cease from anger. Forsake wrath.  Fret not. The battle has already been fo...
