Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:105

In this day and time, we experience so much trouble and strife in our daily lives. We go through trials and tribulations, happiness, sadness, joy, grief, and pain. Through it all we need to let God's word direct our path. To receive comfort from His holy word daily, to place God's truth in our hearts and apply it daily. There is nothing that God can't help us get through. If we turn to Him in our darkest hour, He will deliver us through all things. He sent Jesus Christ to die for our sins, He loves us that much. So no matter what you may be going through take it to God, He cares for you and me. He will give us the strength to walk, when we feel that we are to weak to go on. Jesus will hold us in His arms as we cry out, from grief and a broken heart. We will once again feel joy, and see a rainbow after the storm passes by. We must let God hold onto us throughout every trial in our life. We must stay close to God in good times and the bad. We need our Father in Heaven to direct our path daily. He will lead us to the place where He needs us to be. Just remember when your path seems dark, God's Light can shine and show us the correct way to go. No darkness can over take His amazing love. No matter what we may face, God will take care of us. He has plans for our lives, we just have to give Him complete control. Today is the one year anniversary since my brother-in-law Jason passed away, please keep our family in your prayers. God has carried us through so much this year, and has given us miracles on top of that, Father we are so thankful for Your mercy, love, and grace.

Father, light my path in this life
Let me follow daily with Jesus Christ

Hold me close when I can no longer stand
Lord, guide my feet and hold my hand

When we become smothered by problems of life
Give us comfort, from all of our daily strife

Father, hold us in Your arms when we are in pain
Remind us that accepting Jesus is our personal gain

Father, mend our heart that is broken by grief
Whisper words of comfort and sweet relief

Lord, with You by our side darkness will never prevail
Because in our life, Your Light always dwells

 

Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.

In our everyday life we experience many difficulties. We go through times that we are tossed about by the waves of life. Problems come our way and make us drift off course. We lose site of the job that God would have us to do. We get wrapped up in everyday problems and forget to consult with God in prayer. When the burdens get to be to much that is when we call out to Jesus to deliver us through all the chaos that we are going through. If we keep the lines of communication open everyday with God in prayer we won't experience so much doubt and confusion in our everyday life. Let us remember to include God in our everyday plans because He may need to alter them for us. May we always let Jesus guide us on the path that we need to take, so that we can do God's will. When we are in doubt to Jesus let us call out and say "Jesus, Help Me Please.

Jesus Help Me

I am walking in this barren land
So many things I don't understand

People their hearts have grown cold
Some not as caring in the days of old

Jesus, help me to know which way to go
To understand things I need to truly know

Jesus, help me to avoid Satan's trap
To follow the Holy Bible as a road map

Help me to avoid things that will make me stumble
Help make my heart pure, let me always be humble

Jesus help us not to follow the ways of this world
Around Your feet let us always be sitting and curled

When our direction in life we begin to doubt
To You Jesus let us give a loud shout

When life gets us down and our spirit needs a lift
Help us Jesus to Your arms let us always drift



 

Romans 8:31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Sometimes Satan is such a bully. He makes us doubt so many things in our life. Satan points out everything we have done wrong. Then he tempts us with all sorts of temptations. That is when we have to remember, that God stands between us and our enemy. When we remember that God is for us, He is eternally stronger than our temptations. God keeps us from falling into Satan's pit. If God be for us, who can be against us? So let us always remember when Satan tries to sift us like flour, God can and will intervene on our part. He will take care of the bully Satan, that tries to place doubt in our minds.

No matter what we go through
God will lead us in all we do

No matter what stumbling block, Satan throws in our path
God will intervene and soon Satan, won't be able to laugh

God will guide our every step
He is with us, in His arms we are kept

God will shelter us from the storm
In His arms we can stay cozy and warm

Many times Satan places us full of doubt
Out of Satan's grips God will pull us out

I don't know what today may hold
I know that God will take care of my soul

No matter what troubles we face
God will put Satan in his place



 

Are you lost? Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior?
I pray that if you are seeking happiness and are lost , I pray that you
will accept Jesus into your heart and experience a great blessing.
Ezekiel 36:26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you;
I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

If you let Him, God will transform your prison into a house of praise.


Are You Lost?

Are you lost?
By rough seas are you tossed?

Are you lost and don’t even know?
That God in Heaven loves you so

Are you lost and don’t know it’s true?
Did you accept Jesus when He called on you?

Are you lost and haven’t taken the time to accept Jesus?
Or with your life is the Devil teasing?

Are you lost and know that it is a fact?
Believe in Jesus and take care of that

Are you lost and don’t know the way home?
Put your trust in Jesus you’ll never be alone

Are you lost but want to be found?
Just look to the cross, and believe in the Blood of the Lamb

Are you lost but you’re ready for Jesus to enter into your heart?
Say I believe Jesus died for my sins that is how being saved starts

The rest of the path is filled with joy
Because your soul knows it is going to Heaven to see God and all His glory

If your lost and want to find Jesus read John 3:16
It can help you find Jesus and know what His love means





 

Ephesians 3:16
That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man.

We want to live our lives for God, but sometimes we become defiant. Inside we have the desire in our heart to do what God requires, and needs us to do. But on the outside we are influenced by the ways of the world. That is when God's strength comes into play, we must cling to Him daily so that He can strengthen us through His Spirit. To strengthen us to resist Satan's temptations, God can empower us through His Spirit with strength to truly live for Him. God can give us the faith, the will, and the enabling power to resist temptations that Satan places in our path. Through God we can have peace of mind, and the strength to face everyday problems in life.

Strength From God

Lord, let me place everything in Your hands
To let You strengthen me in things I need to understand

To let You make my life what it should be
To place love in my heart and set my spirit free

Your strength can help me truly soar
Through Your strength I can do so much more

Through the strength that You provide
I want You always to be my Guide

Father, strengthen me daily so my life can be pleasing to You
Strengthen me to work for You in all that we may do



 

Nehemiah 6:3
And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: Why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?

Sometimes we wonder what we can truly believe. We hear many people making many promises. Politicians make all kinds of promises they can't possibly keep. Many people are making claims that utterly confuse us. There is One truth on which we can depend, the whole truth is contained in God's holy word, the bible. If we stay rooted in God's word we will not be deceived. Nehemiah wasn't deceived by the enemy, who tried to draw him away from the work that God needed him to do. If we stay at Jesus' feet, and read our bible daily, then we won't be deceived by Satan. We will equip our heart with God's holy word and use it as a weapon to tell us of what the truth is. One promise that we can be sure of, is that one day soon Jesus will return and we will be reunited with Him. Let God guide our steps and show us the direction we are to go. So that He can lead us to the work that we need to be doing.

Don't Be Deceived

Father, by Satan let me not be deceived
When tempted in Your arms let me be received

Father, let me always follow You
Not the ways of the world in all I do

Father, when Satan tries to lead me astray
Always guide my steps in the right way

Father, let us not be deceived by Satan and his lies
Let us read Your word, and the truth will be revealed to our eyes

Father, when the pressures of the world make me begin to doubt
I will come to You in prayer, and let You always work it all out



 

1 Corinthians 3:9
For we are labourers together with God.

In a days time I wonder how many people we pass by that are in need? We go to our car and see our neighbor is distressed, do we stop to ask what is wrong? At the work place a co-worker seems so sad and depressed, do we take a moment to talk with them. There is someone visiting at the church did we take the time to welcome them and ask their name? We see a woman at the grocery store who is five dollars short on having the money to pay for her items, do we offer to help? Sometimes we forget about others and get caught up in our busy lives, still that is no excuse for us to stop caring for others. Let us take the time to help others in need, to lend a helping hand, to listen to others that may be experiencing a rough time. If a friend is depressed let us express our concern for them and listen if they need to talk.If the person in front of us at the grocery store is a little short and we can afford it let us help them out. What ever God may put on our heart let us try our best to do our part. We are labourers for God let us follow the example set by Jesus Christ. To care and love others, as Jesus Christ has loved us. Let us witness to others in case they have not heard the glorious story of Jesus and how He died to save all sinners.


Did You Lend A Helping Hand

Today you saw someone you know
Kindness and love for them did you show?

Yesterday you noticed a friend is depressed
Worry and concern for them did we express?

You see your neighbor across the street
Did we say hello and with a smile give them a greet?

On Sunday a visitor came for the first time to our church
When time for handshakes for this person did we search?

Wednesday night a regular member attends church service
Did we ask how they are doing, or just act all nervous?

We encounter someone who is lost and unsaved
Did we tell them the road to heaven Jesus paved?

Did we take the time and make an effort
To tell that Jesus that He is the Good Shepherd?

For many tomorrow may be too late
To them Jesus' love let us state

In case someone is lost, or we may not see them tomorrow
They may leave this world, and we will be filled with sorrow

Of tomorrow we have no promise, on tomorrow we can't depend
We could be called home by Jesus Christ our best Friend

So let us tell everyone we see how much we love them so
It may be the last time we see them, you just never know

Today let us tell the lost of Jesus' wonderful grace and love
So they may accept Him, and have a home in heaven above




 

Leviticus 19:9-10
9. Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10. Not shall you glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger. I am the LORD your God.

God told the Israelites not to harvest all of their vineyards, and the crops in the harvest. He was showing them to be compassionate to the poor and the to people who may be traveling through their land. Someone may be hungry and not have the money to buy food. By the Israelites leaving the fallen fruit and leaving crops from the harvest many could be fed, God was giving them a lesson about love your neighbor and teaching them to show compassion to others who were less fortune. This is one thing that we need to practice in our Christian walk with God. We need to show compassion and help others when given the opportunity. We need to extend our hand in friendship to a person who is lonely. Just sit and listen to someone who needs us to extend a listening ear. To be a shoulder that someone can cry on, just to be a friend to someone who is hurting. We also need to tell the lost about Jesus. That He came to save all sinners, if we will accept Him and believe that He is God's only Son. Sent to die for our sins. Let us be messengers for God, to tell the world of the good news that Jesus lives today. That He died on the cross for our sins, but Praise God HE AROSE ON THE THIRD DAY. Let us always show compassion towards others, regardless of who they are. Every soul matters to God in heaven. Let us not be picky about who we tell about Jesus. Let us be compassionate and have the desire to tell a lost and dying world that Jesus can save their soul. That He has paid the price for our sins. All we have to do is believe in Him.

Showing Compassion

Father, I have come to you many times in need
Every single time You have answered my plead

Father, many times I have turned to You with my frustration
I have come to You crying, feeling such loss and devastation

Not one time Father have You ever turned me away
Let me show this compassion that You have for others everyday

Let me practice the love and compassion that You have shown me
To extend this compassion to others, so that Your love they can see

Father, let me love my neighbors, as You have loved me
Telling all the world of Jesus Christ, that He can set them free

Father, let compassion and love be seen in everything that I do
So that I can tell the world, about this true love that comes from You



 

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from Him cometh my salvation.
Psalm 62:1
I love this verse, because many times we get so impatient, waiting on God to answer our prayers. We think because we need something, that we must have it right away. Many times God has many blessings in store for us, but will deliver them in His time. Many times we invent a way to try and help out our situation, thinking that is how God wants us to do. Things end up going so wrong, we end up in worse shape than we were before. If we would have just waited on God, everything would have been fine. If you are in a bind, remember God is always on time. No matter what your trials and troubles, God will provide for that bill that is stressing you out. He will provide a way for you to get to work. He will provide food on the table. Just wait on Him, you will be truly blessed by just be patient. Just remember, God is the ONE who sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. His love and mercy is the reason we can receive salvation. Because He sent His only Son to die for all sinners. God knows our needs before we ever realize what they are. God will deliver what we need, it will just be in His time. God delivers and He is always right on time. You and I must learn to be patient, God will help us, and show us His power in the process. Let us always remember to give Him the praise and glory for every blessing we receive. To give Him thanks when we go to Him in prayer. Let us share all of our needs with God, He likes to hear them first hand from us. Let us wait on God, no matter what we need. Let us wait on God to show us what direction our life should be going. He knows and in His time will show us.

Father, Your love to me is such and inspiration
Your love gives me complete confirmation

That You will take care of any complication
There is nothing You can't do, this is my realization

Father, You have absolutely no limitations
All I have to do is provide You with the information

To rest in prayer, and wait upon Your verification
To express my needs through prayer and communication

You have provided our very salvation
Your Son is it's very foundation

Father, Thank You, for Your love and protection
That in You Father, through Jesus we see perfection

We see how amazing You truly are ONE of a kind
Your love and mercy could never ever be defined
 

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Many times life can be cruel. Things happen that will make us question our very existence. Things happen that cause us so much pain grief. Sometimes events can break our heart, and cut us to the core. Changes in our life can shake our faith, and make us lack trust in God. We begin to tell ourselves, it is hard to live our life for God. We begin to think that everything is easy for Him way up in heaven. We begin to think that God doesn't understand all that we go through, God does know and He understands our pain. He sent His only Son to live on this earth, Jesus experienced pain and suffering. He was isolated and rejected by many. He was denied by His own people. We must put our trust in God completely. To let Him take care of all things, regardless. He will lead and guide us. He will carry us through, if we just trust and obey Him. To submit to His will, and trust that He will deliver us no matter what happens. Many times we must suffer trials and tribulations, so that God can use us in future adventures.

Trust In The Lord

Lord, in You I place all my trust
To place it in Your hands is a must

No matter what happens today
You will always lead the way

No matter what happens You are there
All my burdens with You I will share

Through all my grief,sorrow, and pain
You wipe my tears that fall like rain

In You I place all my trust, now and forever
One day in heaven, we shall always be together

I know many times my faith is small
But I know that You are Lord of all

I know that many times, I begin to question and doubt
That is when I know with You, I truly can't do without

Father, in You I will place my complete trust
To trust You all my life, is an absolute must

I could never make it one day without You
All my problems in life, You carry me through
