I will uphold you

Isaiah 41:10 (TLB) Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. As a Christian, I want to share with you my experience of staying home for the past couple of years because I could not secure a job. It was not easy for me as I had a lot of time to think, and it could be scary. Initially, I kept myself busy with household chores, but after a while, I became really good at it and would finish them in a couple of hours. However, I developed a strange fear of leaving my house and going out to the shops for necessities. One day, I felt overwhelmed, and fear gripped my heart when I realized that I had to go shopping. I turned to the Bible and opened it at Isaiah 41, and my eyes rested on verse 10. This verse empowered me, and with fear in my heart, I decided to go out, do my shopping, and face the world again. The Bible teaches us about transformation, which means changing or renewing our life to please God . It is seen in the way we increasingly reflect the likeness and glory of Christ . To be considered as children of God, we must be led by the Spirit of God . The power of transformation comes from the message of the cross, which is the power of God . The demand to repent is as basic as it gets in Jesus’ message. It is equally basic to, and almost synonymous with, the command, “You must be born again” . Repentance is not just a change in outward behavior, but it is the inner change that gives rise to genuinely God-centered, Christ-exalting behavior . Conversion includes a change in behavior, but it goes beyond behavior; it is a change in our very nature .Here are some Bible verses that can help you cope with change and fear: • "To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness" (Ephesians 4:22-24). • "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7). • "For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you" (Isaiah 41:13). • "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). Remember that God is always with us, and we can trust Him to help us overcome our fears and challenges. Prayer Dear Lord God, we ask that You keep us connected to this world so that we do not become fearful. Please remind us that You will uphold us each and every day with Your victorious right hand. We praise Your Holy name in Jesus' name. Amen. https://www.makemoneywitha.online

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
