I Am Not Letting Go!

Sometimes in life we are tempted to let go of promises and lose hope. Scripture would encourage us otherwise. Whatever you are facing today, and no matter how bleak it looks, remember it is when you are hardest hit that you must not quit! God's word promises to always be with us, and when we are on his team we can expect adversity, because his light that shines within us is a threat to the devil who is seeking whom he may devour. As God's children we do not have to believe his lies or give into fear of the circumstances, because we know that "Greater is he that is in us, than he that is in the world!" I John 4:4. We also know the "rest of the story" and can have the peace that Christ gives us in the midst of lifes' storms, because of that knowledge.

Stand your ground and do not believe the lies of satan. You are a child of the most high! Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, said the Lord".

All I need is you, the beginning and the end....Now I am  concluding with a thought provoking video I came across a few years back. Take it from one who likes her morning coffee, it speaks volumes. "Life is Like A Cup of Coffee"

How Great Thou Art!

A favorite hymn of all times second only to "Amazing Grace" according to a 2001 "Today's Christian" magazine survey. It was based on a Swedish poem written by Carl Boberg in 1885 and later translated into English by Stuart Hine.

A beautiful worship song that wells up from a heart of gratitude for all Christ did for us and the promise of his return.

Grateful, thankful hearts is music to any person's ears, especially a parent's. We all have much to be grateful for, even in our darkest hour!

Worship His Holy Name!

"When the sun comes up it is a new day dawning".  As I sit and reflect this question comes to mind, how am I living today? Do I live in fear or do I recognize today could be my last wherever I am, numbering my days? Living intentional, deliberate, wisely spending my time? Would I have regrets for things done or not done.

Quiet, contemplative reflection is good for all of us. Time each day to sit quietly and reflect on what we have done and where we are going, making sure to chart our course wisely. The scripture gives divine guidance as well. " In ALL your ways acknowledge the Lord and he shall direct they path." Parent's are also given for correction and instruction to their children as ordained by God. "Honor the mother and father so that your days may be long".

Are we asking, reflecting, listening and willing to be guided? "Be still and know that I am God. I know the plans I have for you to give you a hope and a future". Just a few of his many reminders that he has us in the palm of his hands.

"This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it"! Listen to this song and may we be more intentional with our time here on earth each day, listening and trusting a loving Father to guide us each step of the way.
