2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9But he said to me, (A) "My grace is sufficient for you, for(B) my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that(C) the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10(D) For the sake of Christ, then,(E) I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For(F) when I am weak, then I am strong.

As I think back on the last five years, I realize just how many times God has carried me. We have lost so many family members in the last fives years, and experienced so much grief and pain. At times I have truly felt like I could not go on. I have been tired, and just so weak from sadness and the weight of the world it seems on our shoulders. But as I look back, I see that when I was ready to fall, Jesus reached out His hand. When the world beats us down with harsh words, God whispers word of love unto us. When we are weak, God sends Jesus to carry us the rest of the weary miles. When hardships come our way, God shows us what blessings He can give and provide. No matter we have faced, God's grace has been more than sufficient. He provides everything we need in detail. He sends the Holy Spirit to minister unto us, in our darkest hour. I know that no matter what we may face, God will carry us through. He has time and time again, and will do so everyday. Today I am so thankful that God made a way for us to pay our house insurance. When things seem impossible to us, God removes the mountain that is blocking our path and view. Never under estimate what God can do. When He sends blessings our way, let us share it with the world.

Father, Thank You for being there during all the changes in our life
Thank You for sending comfort to us, through You Son Jesus Christ

Father, when we are sad, and feeling so drained and weak
You send the Holy Spirit, with words of comfort to speak

Thank You for sending Jesus to save our soul
Through His precious blood, we are made whole

Father, when the world turns it back on us
In You we can always place our trust

You are there in our darkest hour
To remove all obstacles You have the power

Father, Your grace has always been sufficient in our time of need
You are wonderful, merciful, and full of love indeed

 

Isaiah 30:21

21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

In this life we have times that we get lost. We don't know which direction to take, and sit at the fork in the road. When we approach a cross road in life, we need to consult God on our direction to take. Just like when traveling at night, if we take the wrong road, and are unfamiliar with the area we will get lost. I hate traveling over the mountains when it is foggy, you can't see anything. You are trying to navigate, feeling like you are blind. God still gives direction for our lives, in this day and time. He speaks to us, but sometimes we ignore Him. The next time He speaks, it is a little harder to hear Him. When we disobey God's direction for our life, we tend to tune His voice out. He has plans for our direction in life, we just have to ask which way we are to go. After God has made it clear where we need to be, we need to follow that direction. Not stray from the path that He has given us to follow. If we lose our way and drift off course, God can give us directions back to where we need to be. Let us listen closely and we will hear God's reassuring voice.

Father, sometimes the way is so dark
It is always lite by Your great spark

Sometimes we are blinded, and can not see
The direction that You have planned for me

Father, lead us in the direction we are to go
Our path to follow today, only You can know

When we drift away from where we need to be
Give us directions so that we can always see

Father, I know that we stray far away from Your will
Father, direct our path in the valley and on the hill

Let us get our directions in life from You
To strive to follow Your plans in all that we do




 

Mark 5:34
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of they plague.

I love this story, this woman grabbed Jesus' rob out of faith. She knew if she could just touch His clothes, that she would be healed of her blood disorder. Once she touched His robe, she knew that she had been healed. Jesus knew that she had touched His garments, then He asked the Disciples who touched me? Because of her faith Jesus told her that her faith had healed her. Many times we worry about things, and experience tragedy in our life that makes our faith small. If we reach out in faith to God, everything will be alright. If we truly believe that He can take our worst moments in life, and completely turn them around He will. By reaching out in faith God can heal our bodies spiritually and physically. So if we have a problem let us reach out in faith and tell God what we need. Believing that He can and will make us whole again.

Lord I Reach Out In Faith

Father, I call on You to help me today
To take all my feelings of dread away

To not fear what today may bring
Give me a song that my heart can sing

Let me come to You knowing that I will be healed
Because my soul by You has been sealed

I will walk by faith, knowing You can do all things
Always depending on Your love and the joy it brings

Father, by faith I will let You guide my life
To protect me from the evil and Satan' strife

I will trust and believe that You will make me whole
Because You are the keeper of my soul

No matter what tomorrow may bring, I will trust in You
By faith You will always show me what I am to do




 

1 Peter 1:7 (King James Version)

7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ

Some days it seems that the world is caving in on us. So many events have taken place in the last six years. We no sooner get over one trial, and then another arrives, to take the place, of the one that we just faced. One thing that I know for sure is that God has carried us through every trial and tragedy that we have ever faced. He has been there in the good times and bad. Jesus has never left our side. There have been seasons of peace in our life, God gives a chance to enjoy the sunshine. During our times of quiet, we get comfortable and forget about all that has taken place. Just as we let out a sigh of relief, the storms of life start raging. I know that God has a reason for everything that happens. I know that He will see us through all things. We must follow His lead, and let Him guide our path all the days of our life. No matter how bad things may be, God will bring us through it all. Sometimes it will not turn out the way we want, but according to God's will. We will face many trials in our life, we must keep the faith and carry on. God will give us strength and encourage us when we are down. In the end it will all be worth what we go through. The day that Jesus welcomes us home, now what an awesome reward. One that we can only receive because Jesus Christ showed such love for all sinners.

When life throws trials and troubles our way
Remember we will rejoice one grand day

We will face many problems as we go through life
We can make it through, with our best friend Jesus Christ

No matter what obstacles are thrown in our path
Jesus has won the war on Satan's wrath

No matter if others put us down and treat us mean
Let the love of Jesus Christ in each of us always be seen

Pray for one another daily, and help others in need
Have them pray for you, and ask God for forgiveness indeed

Carry on with the mission God has planned for You
What ever problems arise, God will always see You through

Romans 5:1-2
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Let us rejoice in the love that Jesus has for us. He died on the cross so that you and I could be saved. He suffered greatly, because His love for us was so true, and still is today. Let us follow the example Jesus set for us. Let us love one another, and tell others of Jesus' love.

We can find peace in the true love that Jesus has for us. Let us strive to live our lives so that it reflects that we have Jesus dwelling in our heart.

True Love

Let me tell you about the truest love that I have ever known
By God in heaven, the truest love was shown

He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins
He bestowed a love on us that has no end

Jesus was beaten, tortured, and whipped
The abuse continued, and of His clothes He was stripped

But still the worse was yet to come
Jesus said, "Father Let Thy Will Be Done"

Jesus was nailed on the cross for our sins to bare
What love He had for us to remain there

Jesus had thorns placed upon His head as a crown
He could have called a legion of angels and came down

True love was what Jesus had to give
He had to die, so you and I could live

Jesus was placed between two thieves on the cross at Calvary
One knew that Jesus was the Christ, Jesus told him, today you will be in paradise with me

In His final hours, Jesus prayed, "Father forgive them, they know not what they do
Now this is the truest love, that has ever been shown to me and you

Praise God that on the third day
That the stone was rolled away

Jesus is Risen, He is Alive
Everyday for Him I will strive

If you don't know Jesus I pray soon you will
All your wounds and hurts, Jesus can heal


 

John 10:9
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

A man was trying to gain entry into a friend's house. His friend had not been heard from in a few days, and he was worried about him. He tried the front door, no luck it was locked. He went to the back door same thing happened, it was locked. Soon he was trying all the windows, with the same result no way to enter into the friends house. There was no way to gain entry without a key. Soon the front door opened, and his friend came to the door. He had evidently thought someone was trying to break in. He had just gotten home from a trip, and was catching up on his rest. He explained to his friend that the front door was the only way in, because the back door was broken and couldn't be opened at all. Just the same way with salvation, Jesus holds the key. He is the one and only door to salvation. Either a person believes and accepts Jesus, and confesses that Jesus is God's only Son. That they believe Jesus died on the cross to save all sinners from hell. That He arose on the third day. We can't get to heaven by doing good deeds, there is no side door. There is not a back door at which we can enter, Jesus is the one and only door to salvation. We must open the doors of our heart and accept Him to enter heaven's gates one day.

Jesus The Only Door Salvation

Dear Father, Thank You, for providing the One and only door that provides salvation
Jesus is the only way for us to be saved, and His love calls for celebration

He died for our sins, and is the only way we can be saved
Awesome is Your only Son, and the love that He gave

The only way to receive eternal life
Is through God's only Son Jesus Christ

There is no back door, in which you can enter
We must accept Jesus, He died for all sinners

There is no side door to slip through
We must accept the One, who died for me and you

Jesus is the door, by which we must go
Have you accepted the One who loves you so?


 

Matthew 13:43
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Have you ever experienced a time in your life, that it feels like the sun is gone? That all you see is clouds and doom and gloom? Many times we feel that way in life. That so many things go wrong and that a rainbow will never appear again. But as we all know the sun shines through and our days are filled with hope. Just like when the sun is hidden by the clouds for days, and then the sun shines so bright. Many times we feel the same way in our christian life. We feel like we are not shining for God. That we are not doing anything to bring praise and glory to His wonderful name. Others may see a glimpse of Jesus shining through us, and we only catch a little sight of that light. Let us strive daily to touch the lives of someone who is lost. Let us be kind and loving to others. To be sure and share the wonderful story of Jesus and His love for all sinners. Let us tell them that by accepting Jesus Christ, they can receive eternal life. One day we will shine bright when we meet Jesus in Heaven.

Father, in You we have hope
That with all things we can cope

We have the faith that You will carry us
In You Father we place all of our trust

No matter what today may hold
We leave You in charge of our soul

There is no problem that You can't take of
Thank You Father, for Your wonderful love

Father, one day for You we will truly shine
When we see Jesus, who is so divine


 

Psalm 121:7-8
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, even for evermore.

Many days as I am driving down the road, I will have a talk with God. I pray for Him to keep our daughter safe at school, to keep watch over my husband, and to be my pilot where ever we may go. God hears our prayers and keeps watch over us.He protects us from evil as we go about our daily schedule. He wraps us in His arms and keeps us safe day and night. I am so glad that God never takes a vacation, He is always on call never to busy to listen to our needs. He wipes our tears and sees us safely through everyday. He keeps watch over us as we sleep, He protects us from evil. Thank You Father for all You do, Your love and care is endless.

God Keeps Watch

Thank You Father, for keeping watch over me
No greater Proctor could there ever be

You are faithful keeping watch everyday
You protect us all along the way

No matter where we may roam
You always see us safely home

You wrap us in Your arms
There we are safe from all harm

By Your power from evil we are preserved
Father Your great love at times I don't deserve

Thank You Father for loving me even when I do wrong
With You Father we are never ever alone


 

Psalm 37:3-4
3.Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Many times we begin to get weighed down by doubt. There are so many things going on in our lives. It brings us down at times. That is when we must trust and obey God. To let Him guide us. To help us get through everyday problems, we need to go to God in prayer. We need to read our bible for guidence. It is like a map, it will guide us the way that God would have us to go.


Trust and Obey

Trust in God and obey His word
Rush to tell others in cause they haven't heard
Understand God's work for you
Stand strong for Him in everything you do
Take the time to listen to God's command
And for His guidance, let Him lead you by the hand
No one comes unto the Father, except through the Son
Diligently pray Lord let Thy will be done
Obey God's plans you always and pray
Beware of your actions, of what you do and say
Everyone in life I pray, will believe in God and trust and obey
You must be kind to others, and close to God always stay
