Jehovah El Emeth – LORD God of truth


Psalm 31: 5 KJV
“Into thine hands I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.”

Why is telling the truth so important to me? I feel God gave me the ability to discern when someone is telling a lie. I also believe God gave me His Word [Bible] so that I can have a measuring stick.

Look I realise I am not what you could say a perfect person, I do have many problems but one thing I truly appreciate is people that tell the truth. Regardless of what the consequence may be.

I want to stay in God's Word and under God's power of truth that makes my life choices so much easier. I am able to discern right from wrong and with God's help I am getting there slowly but surely.

Prayer

LORD God of truth thank You that I am able to learn from You, the truth in Your word for my daily living. Lord, thank YOU, that You have opened my eyes and ears to Your word. Teach me to live according to Your Word. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Easy Way to adapting to others.

https://willlukang.com/2012/04/19/adapting-to-the-situation/

Romans 12: 16 ESV
“Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.  Never be wise in your own sight.”

I hope this message will encourage you today. I used to be a difficult person, constantly being upset with others. I soon realized that I needed to relax towards other people and accept them for who they were. I also realized that I don’t know everything, I stopped being this “know it all.”  I am no better than the next person.

Something I find lacking in our society is “civility” people swear at each other, they swear while speaking in general and cures all the time. They also seem to think they are better than others and want constant praise and approval. I also see that people seem to believe they are so smart.

I learned to consider other people’s feels, accommodate people all the time if you truly love someone it won’t be so difficult to accommodate the next person. You will stand back and let them have what they are looking for.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, LORD, my God and my helper today I humbly stand before You asking for forgiveness of sins. Lord help me to always see people through Your eyes. They are Your children and I am just a vessel You can use. Help me understand their circumstances and help me to help them in their time of need. In the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Elohim Ozer Li – God is my helper.

http://listening.place/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/33.jpg

Psalm 54: 4
“Behold, God is my helper; the LORD is the upholder of my life.”

I find that my mouth goes dry when I feel anxious. A tightening of my throat takes place causing my voice to sound all raspy. I feel anxious and a little overwhelmed at times and the only refuge is the LORD God my helper.

What sets me apart from my fellow man? My faith, I believe God is the cornerstone of my life. Without Him I am nothing. I can’t do anything right in any case.

I know God understands me and knows my circumstances and what I am facing every day. I believe God is able to turn my circumstances around and make my path straight. What about you? Do you know that God is your helper? Are you able to turn to Him when you are facing difficult times?
I want to encourage you today, turn to God.  He can help you.

Elohim Ozer Li, O God my helper. Thank You, that I am able to turn to You in my hour of need. Please show me the way forward.  Strengthen me and guide me in the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Lying lips



Proverbs 12: 22 (NIV)
“The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.”

I stand listening to this person telling me lies. My reaction is instant; I can feel my blood boiling, heat rushing up into my face. My ears are ringing and my first instinct is to grab this person and throttle them. The urge to sort them out immediately is pushing me I need to take control of my emotions but my face has given me away.

To top it off this person stands looking at me as though I am totally mad. They feel they can get away with this and I can’t imagine how. If I feel like this when someone tells me a lie, I wonder how God feel about us telling lies.

I can relate to God’s detesting lying lips, it hurts me to think they pull the wool over my eyes when I know for a fact they are lying. Do they underestimate my intelligence? I wonder, do we underestimate God’s intelligence? Be careful don’t tell lies its terrible, I believe own up to your mistakes, take the punch.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, people around us underestimates our intelligence and feels they can pull the wool over our eyes. Why they do that I don’t know but I am sure that it must grate your teeth too. Forgive me if I have lied to anybody knowingly or unknowingly. I humble myself before You asking for forgiveness of this kind of sin. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Amen.

Rejoice always in the LORD.


1 Thessalonians 5: 16-19

“Rejoice always and delight in your faith; be unceasing and persistent in prayer; in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.  Do not quench [subdue, or be unresponsive to the working and guidance of] the [Holy] Spirit.”

What makes me happy? Was on my mind this morning? I am so grateful for my family and friends. I have a great support system and I can turn to my family anytime and I believe they will be there for me. I believe God blessed my life with a good husband, all my children and my grandchildren and God have allowed my mom to live another year.  His grace abounds and we can say thank You, Lord.
I rejoice in knowing that the Lord still is there for me, I am grateful that I am able to come into His presence each and every day. 

What makes you happy? Things don’t bring you happiness, if you are emotional unhappy you will struggle with every aspect of life. God gives us the assurance that we can come to Him any time of the day and He is there for us. I am grateful that I can come to the Lord day or night. He is there for me. Bless Him forever and ever.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord I want to rejoice always in You Lord Jesus, I bring You all my praise and I want to say thank You Lord for another day. Thank You for Your loving-kindness and all the good gifts You give me. I love and worship You, Lord, in the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

True Love


Colossians 1: 15 (NIV)

“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.”

I know we cannot see Jesus Christ of Nazareth nor God, but we who believe in Jesus Christ know that God loves us unconditionally. I don’t know how to even comprehend Gods love towards me, the price the Lord Jesus Christ paid on the cross for my life. I am so grateful and I wish there were words to express how much I love the Lord.

My one true love is the LORD Jesus Christ; I love Him because He first loved me. I am a child of the living God. I am trusting God and ask Him to understand His love for me. I am His child but I don’t think I truly know the extent of God’s love towards me.

I know love is patient and kind, love does not envy or boast, it is not arrogant or rude. I have watched many couples and sometimes my mouths fall open. The way they speak to each other makes me cringe, is that love? They cannot even be civil towards each other, swearing and cursing. Love this and that but no kind words come out of their mouths.

Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ today I want to pray and ask You to please show me the extent of Your love towards me today. I am uncertain of the extent of Your love. Help me to understand what You did for me. I have seen all the movies and I read Your word, today I am asking You help me understand Your love for me. Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen

Why Worry?


Matthew 6: 27 (NASB)
“And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?”

Sitting down my right leg automatically starts swinging; I am feeling impatient and playing with my ring on my left hand. I must bake a couple of cakes, the lounge needs a good clean. I want to write something for my blog. I feel worried that I won't have enough time to get to everything. It drives me crazy; you will never find me sitting around doing nothing.

I don't worry about money or things like that, I feel worried that I just never have enough time to do all my chores. When I go to bed I feel so tired it seems I didn't get around to do what I set out to do. What will become of me? It irritates me that I stay busy and other people can sit around doing nothing.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord thank You for today, thank You that we can come and sit at Your feet today. Lord helps me to relax and trust in You. You have graced me with a new day, and Your mercies are new every day. Thank You, Lord, let Your will be done today in my life as You wish. I worship and praise You, in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen
