“Faithful heart, you’ve made it to another day! Has it been a difficult journey or a joyful one? Maybe a mixed up conundrum of the two but look at you!! You’ve come out on top and by God’s amazing grace and unmerited favor you’re still here to tell your story! ✿
Let’s tell it no matter what we face, or what’s on our plate ~ let’s tell that His grace saves us, sanctifies us and sustains us for the next moment, the day ahead, the week ~ the month ~ the months ~ the years…He’s all we need to face the day! To make the journey! ✿✿✿
Are you feeling in the tight, relentless grip of defeat? The pressures are great! The heart is faint, heavy and oh the weariness.. the gnawing weariness of it all!!
Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that “Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.”
Dear friends and weary hearts, our Lord is VICTORY, and He doesn’t faint and He doesn’t grow weary! He is our Hope, our comfort, our peace and our strong deliverer! Oh weary soul, your weakness will dissipate and your strength will rise as you wait upon Him for all things ~ for all the decisions that need to made and all the deadlines that need to be met, and all the hats that need to be worn throughout the course of the day. As you wait on Him for the next moment, He’ll lift you up on wings like eagles, over the rough and bumpy spots along the way.
The victory is there!! Do you see it? Find your courage, hope and strength in Him for this moment now and for all moments along the way. From this moment one, Walk In Victory!!!
So it’s the ho hum blues today? You gotta shake ’em and toss ’em into the archives because they don’t make you feel very good! The antidote for the dreadful blues is contentment! Pure, simple and sweet as it is, it’s the solution for those nagging, depressing blues that hit out of nowhere and sideswipe us off our feet. We need to be content with it all, because contentment, even for the little things that make our world go round, will counter that dreadful feeling and bring everything back into perspective. That breath you just took, hope lies there in that moment! Where there’s life there’s always hope. Catch it if you can! Catch the hope in it and ponder it until you feel it rising up in your soul. Contentment and thankfulness go hand in hand in this journey of life and with it there’s no need for more ~ because we have all we need!
Take a deep breath! It’s a new moment! Grab the hope of it! Tuck it in your heart and breath a sigh of relief because if you really try you might find it’s not so bad after all!
Philippians 4:1
“Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.”
Proverbs 19:23
“The fear of the LORD leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.”
There’s so much deception in our world today and truth is difficult to come by! So hard to decipher at times. Sometimes maybe it’s not really our lack of faith and trust in God that tugs at our heartstrings and leaves us feeling guilty but rather our lack of trust lies in those people that surround us; controlling our countries, our world/s Those that don’t know Him or care to know Him. When we can’t trust what they might do next, we feel like we’re not trusting at all. Somehow we have to trust a Sovereign God even for those ~ to those He gives free choice and free will. Even through evil, He keeps those that are precious to us, under His protection. He orders the leaders of our countries to fall into place! Our prayers are our spiritual weapons of warfare in a world of deception and evil, when we can’t and don’t trust humanity to do the right thing or behave in the right way in this whacked out world! So, when we can’t see past our doubt, we can still trust our God to work out the details for those lost in arrogance and deception, and for a world caught up in deception ~ in violence! God has a plan for those! He has a purpose for them to fulfill. He’s consistently working it out under His constant and divine supervision. His will won’t be trumped by evil or thwarted by our feelings or fleeting moments of unbelief, so don’t succumb to the enemy’s lie that your moments of doubt make you “not good enough” to be a mighty warrior in this spiritual battle that’s so very real to the believer on a daily basis.
Hey heart, take heart and pray without ceasing even for those ~ Don’t give up ever, ever! Rejoice anyway! Even in the darkest moments of your soul….Rejoice! Don’t ever believe you’re not good enough to make a powerful difference in this world and in the lives of those you care deeply about. Don’t believe the lie that you can’t move the mountain through the hand of God and through your urgent and diligent prayer. Prayer changes things ~ aren’t we thankful?
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
