In the day that I cried out, You (God) answered me, and made me bold with strenght in my soul.

Joshua 1: 9 “Have I not command you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Today as I sat in my study waiting to hear from the Lord this word came to me.  I took it in faith and I am just so glad I did.  Yesterday in my hour of need I turned to the LORD again and asked HIM to give me a word for the day and Psalm 138: 3 came to me.

Psalm 138: 3 “When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stout-hearted.”

The words of my bible are building blocks in my own life and the place that I find myself in is really difficult.  I pray and humble myself before God constantly and I wait for a word and yesterday for the first time in a very long time God spoke to me through the Holy Spirit.  Something I yearn for all the time.

God is real and He really loves you, don’t be concerned for tomorrow it will sort itself out.

Rise up - your wealth and honour comes from the Lord our God

1 Chronicles 29: 12 – 14

Lord God wealth and honour comes from You, Lord God You are the rulers of all things.  As I face another day Lord God I pray that I may place my life back into Your hands which have strength and power to exalt and give me strength.  Now, our God, I give You thanks, and praise Your glorious name.  Lord God “but who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this?  Everything comes from You, and we have given only what comes from Your hand.”

Amen

The Proud

1 Peter 5: 5

Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older.  All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Someday it will come your way and hopefully you are able to deal with it.  Many people are really proud and have strong personalities, I take myself, I didn’t think that I would ever be humbled.  Guess what?  I have been humbled and now I need to stand before my God and only He can do the impossible for me.

Some days are ok and others are just really bad but I will come before my Lord and Saviour and trust in Him.  Yeshua hamashia!!

Enemies: Lamentations 3: 61 – 66

Lamentations 3: 61 – 66

O LORD, you have heard their insults, all their plots against me – what my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long.  Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs.  Pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, for what their hands have done.  Put a veil over their hearts, and may your curse be on them! Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.

When people slander and speak ill towards you keep these words in Lamentations which was written by Jeremiah.  Yes we are going through difficult times and these people slander and speak ill of you, but don’t be sad, pray and ask the LORD God to change your situation.

Have a lovely day may God bless you!

Self-hatred and Self-bitterness

Proverbs 4: 24 

“Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.”

 

Preaching to myself today, I have the ability to be self-destructive, I have been taught to always put myself down and say the worst things about myself and then I vent it against the people I love.  I seem to forget how much God loves me, have I not accepted the Lord’s unconditional love?  Have I not accepted that I am the righteousness in Jesus Christ?  When will this revelation of the Lord’s love take root within me to know that I may love myself and accept whom I am?  Getting rid of bitterness, strive and so many other things, isn’t that easy.

Emotional Development

Lord God, it is my desire to please You, but most of all I pray that as the Creator of my body and mind, that I can learn to stay emotionally healthy and strong.   May I pray and ask You Lord to help me deal with my anger, when I am angry help me take control and find peace.  If I feel confused may I pray for clarity and focus.  When I feel dark shadows enclosing may I see a ray of hope.  Fill me Lord with Your Holy Spirit and may I feel the warm presence of You in my life.  

 Amen
