The Lord Reigns

The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; He sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. Great is the Lord in Zion; He is exalted over all the nations. Let them praise Your great and awesome name, He is holy. Exalt the Lord our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy. (Ps.99:1-3, 9) During this Holy Season,  it is good to remember the sacrifice of the Lamb of God at Calvary for the sins of the whole world. Thank God for giving the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. In a time of great darkness and challenging situations, the faithful people of God are placed as lights shining to bring hope and encouragement within their sphere of influence. The earth is the Lord's and everything that is in it, therefore we can lift up the name of the Lord high in the earth and He will draw others to Himself. Not to us but to Him we give all glory, honor and praise. Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. 

God is Able- He Won't Fail

...the blind men came to Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes Lord." Then He touched their eyes saying, "According to your faith let it be to you."  (Matt.9:28) 
God can do anything; He is able to do the impossible for those who through faith believe. Without faith, it is impossible to please Him; those who come to Him must believe that He exists and is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him. (Heb.11:6)  He is faithful to keep His word and all of His promises are yes and amen.  In these days of so much trouble, it is critical for maintaining a sense of balance and peace to believe that God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power that works within.  (Eph.3:20-21)  Everything begins and ends with God; He is the creator and sustainer of the world, so no matter how deep the pit, how dark the night, how horrible the situation, we can be assured that He is able to keep us in perfect peace amid a hostile or unstable environment. Day by day we find strength to face every challenge with grace and confidence by trusting in His wisdom and guidance. He gives more grace as the trials of life grow greater and to added afflictions, He adds multiplied mercy and peace.  All things are possible to them that believe; there is nothing too difficult for the Lord.  To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy-to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
(Jude 1:24-25)

Standing on a Firm Foundation

For it is through Him that we both [whether far off or near] now have an introduction (access) by one Holy Spirit to the Father [so that we are able to approach Him]. Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants and aliens excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God's own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God's [own] household. You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the Chief Cornerstone. In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord]. In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.
(Eph.2:18-22) Amp.

Trust God at all Times

Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word; just to rest upon His promise, just to know, thus saith the Lord. Jesus, Jesus how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er! Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!

In these days of so much trouble in every area of life, it is critical for maintaining a sense of balance and peace to trust in the creator and sustainer of the world.  No matter how deep the pit, how horrible the situation, we can be assured of God's faithfulness and everlasting love to keep us stable in an unstable environment. Day by day we find strength to face every challenge with grace and confidence by trusting in His wisdom and guidance. He gives more grace as the trials of life grow greater and to added afflictions, He adds multiplied mercy and peace. O for grace to trust Him more! Morning by morning, He gives brand new mercies; He is forever faithful. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

Trust The Lord

Some trust in and boast of chariots and horses, but we will trust and boast in the name of our God. In a time when there is a wealth of human, technological, financial and other resources available to promote and advance the kingdom of God, it is critical to remain faithful, loyal to the Lord at all times. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. Lean on, trust in and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him.

Greatest Lover

So many today are looking for genuine love and comfort that can outlast life's storms, disappointments, discouragements, grief, injustice, rejection and the list goes on. There is someone who has proven to be the greatest lover of all times and is available to love all the hurt and pain of life away. They who are well do not need Him, but those who admit to their broken -ness and being sick of tired of being sick and tired can find healing and wholeness in the presence of the Great Physician. Thanks be unto God who always leads us in triumph in Christ. Praise the Lord all people! For His mercy, truth and kindness endures forever.

Awesome in This Place

Make a joyful shout to God all the earth! Sing out the honor of His name; make His praise glorious. Say to God,"How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of your power, Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You; they shall sing praises to Your name." Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men. For you oh Lord have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined. You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but You brought us out to rich fulfillment. (Ps. 66:1-4,10,12)
Look what God has done; He is the master mind of all creation and by His grace, we are still standing on a sure and stable foundation. Thanks be unto God who always causes us to triumph in Christ.
