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



 

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




 

Matthew 10:32 Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.

Today, I read a story about a young boy, who was sent home from school, for dressing up as Jesus for Halloween. His father is Jewish and his mom is Catholic. He decided to dress up as Jesus, because that is who he admires. What a statement this young man has made. He had many asking where the boy was that was dressed as Jesus Christ? The school system decided to send him home, saying that his costume was disrupting class. How many of us would be willing to face ridicule, to try and be different like this young man? I think he is to be admired, he is studying the bible and learning about Jesus. Let us be more willing to step out, and make a statement for Jesus. To tell the world that Jesus loves them, and died for their sins. Let us be different from the world, let us follow the plans that God would have for us. Like the news stated this boy was the chosen one, the one the school chose to signal out. Out of all the costumes, he was the one sent home to change. In the report the ones dressed in devil suits, were not ask to go home and change. I guess the conclusion I came to was that some find the mention of Jesus offensive. Let us never be ashamed of our Precious Savior and His holy name. Jesus Christ is King. He saved my very soul. Thank You Jesus for facing the crowd and overcoming the world for all sinner's.

GOD’S PURPOSE FOR ME

God’s purpose for me only He knows
He will lead me to where I need to go

God’s purpose for me in time He will reveal
He will lead me to do what is right, that is what I feel

God has a purpose for me, He also has a purpose for you
If we follow His plan, our purpose will be revealed in all that we do

God’s purpose for me could be the talent of writing poems, about His love and His only Son
Lord whatever your purpose for me everyday let thy will be done

If my purpose is to tell others of Your great mercy and love
I will spread the word, so others my receive a home above

If your purpose be that I encounter a lost soul
To tell them about Jesus will be my main goal

Lord whatever Your purpose is for me
Lord let me do Your work diligently





 

Exodus 19:5
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine.


Are you praying for God to lead you? He has plans for you. He has the power to carry His children to a place of service. Only with God's direction can we fulfill His plans for our lives. God will help us through every problem we encounter if we just let Him be our guide. Dear God in Heaven I thank You for providing the money to pay our electic bill. Thank You Father, You are so AWESOME! I truly know that You answer our prayers Father.

God is Near

God in heaven knows our every need
He hears our cries, and our every plead

He knows when we are in distress
Take your problems to God, He will do the rest

God knows when our heart is breaking
He knows all the hard knocks we are taking

He knows that Satan is trying to sift us like sand
That is when God reaches down, and takes us by the hand

He knows when our loved ones have gone home
He carries us in His arms so we are never alone

God knows every problem that comes across our path
He is always there to intercept during Satan's wrath

God knows when we are depressed
Go to Him in prayer, and your problems express

God can move the mountains that stand in our way
If you are down and out, go to God in prayer today

God can give you rest, and take you to new heights
God can relieve your burdens, and send your life on a new flight

Just put your trust in Him, let God be your guide
He will mend your broken spirit, and make you feel new inside




 

Psalm 100

1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

2 Serve the LORD with gladness:
come before his presence with singing.


3 Know ye that the LORD he is God:
it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.


4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him,and bless his name.


5 For the LORD is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations.


I love this song of praise, giving God the glory for all that He has done. Many times in our life, we forget to stop and thank God, for all that we have been given. I was talking to a friend of mine and she reminded of how much we have to be thankful for. She is living without water in a house right now, but is thankful to have a place to live. Like she said you can go to a friends house and take a shower. You can get water to flush the the commode with in jugs, and you can buy bottled water to drink. God has provided her with a place to live, and she is warm. She sets the perfect example being thankful. We may not have everything but God makes sure we have everything we need. The amazing part is that she just got a letter that by the first of November she will have a new house to move into. Like she said the events that have taken place make her appreciate all that God has done for her even more. After I got off the phone with her, we realized our heat had went out. Tried to call the repairman no answer. I prayed for God to fix it, and sure enough, Our Father in Heaven delivered as He always does. It is suppose to be in the 30's tonight and He knew we needed heat. God is awesome I want to praise Him for EVERYTHING that we have been blessed with. For electric,gas, food, water, clothing, but most of all His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. There are many more things that I am thankful for but I could write for years and still I would leave something out. I am also thankful for the love God bestows upon us. I am thankful for the wonderful family that I have been blessed with. We have so much to be thankful for let us sing God's praise in Thanksgiving every single day.Thank You Father, for fixing our heat, and for fixing our car, and for mending our hearts when they have been broken.

Great Blessings

Dear Lord, you have done so much for me
I haven't done much for you as I can see

You have blessed me so greatly, and asked so little in return
No matter what I have needed, large or small, you have always made it your concern

When it seemed that things were going so wrong
Lord, you stood beside me and made me strong

When I needed food, shelter, or love
It was always provided from my Heavenly Father above

Dear Lord, what can I do for you , let Thy will be done
Let me be an obedient servant, and follow the example set by your only Son

Let me do Thy will, not mine
Let me follow the path you need me to find

I know the road may be long, and rough at times to travel
I know you will pick me up Lord, if I stumble in the gravel

Lead me the way I need to go, show me what to do
Let my light shine for you, so someone else can see it too

Thank you for every blessing, there are so many, I could never count them all
Dear Lord, you know my every need, you always catch me before I fall
To you Lord I owe it all




 

Psalm 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.


God's amazing power amazes me more every day. He shows us just what He can do. This week our oil light came on in our car, it was three quarts low. This had happen about three months ago also. The first time it was the oil sending unit had gone out. We got the oil put in and prayed for God to let the engine be alright. We took it to the garage, they couldn't find any oil leaking. They told us to keep a close eye on the oil, and bring it back on Friday. So we took it back today, and the oil sending unit was defective. Yes it was leaking the oil out. When I stopped and got the oil, the guy put it in for me and wondered why the car's engine was still running. I told him prayer, God was listening and knew our needs. God knew that we need transportation, and He provided it as always. It is by the grace of God that our car is still running, that the motor didn't blow. To God be the glory, and all the praise belongs to Him. See God can fix anything from cars,broken hearts, broken homes, broken lives, lawn mowers, there is no problem that God can not fix. So if we have problems let us always remember to go to God, He can and will fix what is broken. He is The Greatest He can fix ALL things. Let us always remember when God fixes something to give HIM the praise and glory. Let us always tell others of all the wonderful things that God has done for us. Not to brag, but to tell others how awesome God's love is for all. Let us stay busy telling the world that Jesus loves them. To make sure that we tell the lost about Jesus. That He died for all sinners, that by believing in Him, they can receive eternal life.

Father, Thank You, for fixing the broken areas of my life
Thank You for Your comfort when my world is filled with strife

Thank You for fixing things that I can not repair
You can fix anything broken with Your power

I want to share with others all the things that You do
You take something that is old, and make it like new

When You fix something, I want to give You the glory
Just like Your gift of Jesus, I love to tell this wonderful story

Thank You Father, for fixing me when I have been broken
For Jesus saving my soul, and words of comfort being spoken

To God be the glory, it can fix cars and so much more
He can fix all things, many blessing for you He has in store

So let us put our trust in God, in all areas of our life
Follow and trust in His only Son Jesus Christ

God is good and God is great I will place my trust in Him always
To put Him in charge of everything that is broken all of my days


 

And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
2 Thessalonians 3:5

We need to let God direct us no matter where we may go. We need to follow the example that Jesus set before us. We need to do God's will. Let us be willing everyday that we live, to tell the lost about Jesus Christ. To sit and listen to our friends and neighbors who need someone to talk to. Let us show love, kindness, compassion, and lend a helping hand to those in need. Let us walk daily with Jesus, and wait on His coming patiently. To keep watch, and encourage others and not discourage.






 

Psalms 115:1
115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

Everyday, I want to give God the praise and glory for all the things that He has blessed our family with. I want to Thank God for His mercy upon us, that He loved us so much He sent Jesus to die for our sins. God gave His only begotten Son to die for our sins, because He knew that we needed a Savior. To me this shows God's mercy upon us at it's greatest. He could have left us to die in our sins, but chose to make a way so that we could be forgiven. Father, Thank You for Your mercy, grace, and love. By sending Jesus You made it so that we could have a home above. By accepting and believing in Your only Son, we can be forgiven and have eternal life. Let us praise Your holy name daily. To thank You for all that You have done for us.



God has been so good to me
He sent His only Son, to set me free

God has blessed me greatly
Forgive me Father, if I haven't thanked you lately

God has provided me, a place to live
God has so many blessings to give

He has placed clothes, upon my back
He has provided for me, even when faith I lack

He has given me food to eat
He always provides shoes on my feet

He has given me the money to pay my bills
When my world is torn apart, my broken spirit He heals

God has been so good to me, when it was cold, He kept me warm
He has been my shelter, through every storm

All the blessing that God has given, I couldn't count them all
To me His love, is the greatest I ever saw

The greatest blessing, I have ever received
Was the day Jesus saved my soul, when on His name I believed
