“Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.” Josh‬ ‭21:45‬ ‭ NKJV   God’s Word is unfailing! All of His promises are true, they are forever settled in Heaven. We can trust what He says. We can rest our souls upon His Word. May God help us to learn it, live it and anchor our lives on it.

“Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” Ja‬ ‭1:12‬ ‭In this life we all will be tested. Trials and temptations will come our way. But the blessing comes when we endure the testing with victory. And then, our Father’s approval will rest on us, because we have proven our love to Him.

“For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, Fear not, I will help you.” Isa‬ ‭41:13‬ The question for us is not about the spiritual forces that are against us. No, the real question is, WHO is for us? WHO is with us? Because, if it is the LORD our God, if it is the Mighty God, then we have nothing to fear.

““I, even I, am He Who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid of a man..?”  Isa‬ ‭51:12‬
When we begin to understand Who our Comforter is, that He is the Mighty God, then we will quit fearing what mortal man can do. Our God is great in love, great in power and great in wisdom! And He has promised to take of those who are His children. Fear not.

“For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”
‭‭Matt‬ ‭16:26‬ These words should bring us back to a proper perspective when we get so caught up in seeking the temporary things of this world. What will houses and lands, and all of this stuff here matter, if a person ignores the needs of their eternal soul? One soul is worth more than the world. Nothing compares in value to our soul.

“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love…” Jn‬ ‭15:10‬ Nothing we do can ever change God’s love for us. However, it is through our obedience that we keep ourselves abiding in that place where we can receive and enjoy the blessings of His love. To obey is to abide in Him.

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called…” I Tim‬ ‭6:12‬
One of the things we must understand as God’s children is, that we are in a spiritual battle. Every day is a fight of faith. There is a real war being waged against us to destroy our faith in Christ. So as good soldiers, we must keep our eyes upon our Captain, listen to His commands, and then believe and obey His words. As we do, we will share in His victory.

“How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.” Psa‬ ‭36:7‬
Trust cannot be forced. Trust must be won and then chosen. It is through God’s great love that He wins our heart and our trust. We then chose to put our trust in Him. The more we see and experience God’s great love, the more we will trust in Him.

5/13/19

“as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness…” II Pt‬ ‭1:3‬ God has provided all that we need to live a holy life in this world. All that we need to live a joyful, peaceful and fruitful life He has supplied. May we open our hearts to receive what He has so richly provided.

“Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” Amos‬ ‭3:3‬
If we are going to follow Jesus and walk in relationship with Him, then we must agree with His ways. We must yield our will to His. He will not change His ways for us, it is us who must change our ways to walk in agreement with Him. The good news is, His ways are always best, because they are the ways of love and holiness.
