In Peace I Lie Down!

I know and trust in the power of His supernatural hedge of protection that I've felt and experienced many times, and I don't take it for granted. I know He's protected me from danger when I didn't even know it was there right in front of me. I will always do my best to testify to others and give God the praise He's deserves. I pray always for His Holy angels to encamp round about me. I know that this is tornado season, but it is also two Thursdays in a row that the Lord has shown favor over our family regarding these storms, and the change in direction or strength of them while heading towards our home. My heart and prayers are with the one who have experienced storm damage. We are once again safe in our home and beds tonight. I'm just thankful for God's peace and protection once more after a storm and for the scripture He's flooding my soul with this moment: "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe." Psalm 4:8 ♡

Trust and Obey!

I know life is full of disappointments and frustrating times, evenmore so because of the shape of this world and the enemy trying to hinder and block God's blessings... so when you're facing something unexpected and troubling, I pray you find encouragement in this word... see, I have lived for the Lord long enough, and I've seen Him bring me through enough and protect me enough to know that when plans get changed, when the upsetting tears fall from your eyes, when the money seems to not be there to cover the bills, when sickness comes, when a long conversation ends and it seems it was pointless and nothing was settled, and when you shake your fists and scream out, 'why is this happening?'...you've got to come to understand that God is still there and sometimes He detours, delays, demotes, or devises plans because He is either protecting you, preparing you, or planning something better for you... just trust Him to lead the way and continue to guide you. He knows what He is doing. He is working behind the scenes and seeing what we cannot see. Remember in His word that He promises to go before us and pave the crooked paths straight... that means every roadblock, stumbling block, barrier, and hindrance shall be removed in His time... if you'll just continue to submit to His will, obey, and trust in Him!

Confidence In The Lord!

If you think tonight that everything is not going to be alright, let me encourage you it will be alright... in God's time, in His way, and in His will. I've never seen the righteous forsaken or His seed begging for bread. God promises to supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord will rise up a standard against him. The Lord helps me to walk in confidence daily that it will be alright, even when things don't seem like they are going to be alright. When you have God on your side, and  when you are saved... truly everything is going to be alright because there is coming a day when we won't have to worry about anymore sickness, anymore pain, anymore death, anymore sorrow, anymore tears, anymore fears, anymore frustration, anymore depression or despair, or anymore addictions or temptation to sin. I focus on that day. I keep my mind on that day. Even when I am down and in the valley, I know that everything is going to be alright because of the confidence I have in the Lord. I am praying for others struggling, to grow to walk in that same confidence that only God can give you, because He is no respecter of persons. What He does for others, He will do for you!!

Made A Way!

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corin. 4:18) Today, it struck me that God has always come through for me and to remind others of this.  Without fail, God has always made a way. Even in the situations that ended differently than I desired (at the time), He still came through and it made perfect sense later on down the road. Sometimes the breakthrough took longer to manifest than others, but always deliverance came in some form --- relief, peace, finances, healing, inspiration, salvation… it always come and it will always will. It seemed once I finally got my eyes completely on the eternal aspect of things, I was able to push through and keep going. I know that is a promise to be true. Fix your eyes on Jesus! He's going to make a way on your behalf! ♡
