WHAT IS IT TO YOU?
People of faith know that God is intentional about them and even if others around them seem to be doing “better” they don’t feel the need to compare their lives to theirs. They go with God. Be a person of faith.
BACK TO NOTHING
Beloved, you are going to experience seasons where you cannot see the bright future you once dreamed.
UNLESS I SEE
Believing is difficult when we do not have evidence. Because we are humanly wired that way. We turn to our eyes to interpret the information coming from the ears and it ought not to be so for a person of faith.
REMEMBER
Could it be that you are worried about may things because you have forgotten what He said. You are worried about the behavior of that child because you have forgotten that Children are a gift from God, so instead of rejoicing because of your gift, you are worried.
TRUST NOT FRET
Beloved, the picture will not always be clear. You might know every detail, that’s why you need faith. You need courage and confidence in who God is and what He has promised you. Do not be afraid, do not worry. Live courageously, not knowing what is going on, but trusting that all things will work together for your good. Rest in the fullness of the fact that God is always on your side and you don’t have anything to be afraid of.
A TEMPLATE FOR A FEARFUL HEART
For the heart that feels gripped by anxiety and worried about many things, the word of God is comfort and relief. The simplicity of the word is all that is needed to break the hold of fear. I have found this psalm to be a template for me (amongst others) at times when I feel afraid.
FROM CONFIDENCE TO DENIAL
Sometimes we can get so confident in something we think we can or cannot do. Even when God is warning us about that and saying, watch this here, watch that here. We are convinced that we can never do that. Peter went from confidence to denial, the same person that said that he wouldn’t deny Jesus, eventually denied Jesus.
WANNA BE GREAT?
Jesus made it abundantly clear throughout his time that service is the way to greatness and honor in the kingdom. and that the “first shall be last; and the last first (mark 10:31).
SLEEP IN THE STORM
Beloved, trust God, even in the midst of the storm. Trust that He has you covered. Trust that even in the midst of danger, though He might seem asleep, He has the power to say to the storm, Be still, and it Obeys!
WALK ON THE WORD
Ain’t it like God to tell us to take a step of faith in the midst of turbulent winds. It seems He always calls us to step into the very thing that scares. He does this hoping that you would trust His presence to keep you safe. It’s a tough wind but He’s with you anyway.
