MY TEARS INTO YOUR BOTTLE;

 

YOU NUMBER MY WANDERINGS; PUT MY TEARS INTO YOUR BOTTLE; ARE THEY NOT IN YOUR BOOK? Psalms 56:8

๐Ÿ‚Little Austin went out to the barn yesterday morning to see the horses, like  every morning. At that time he noticed his little chiken was missing.After looking for a long while, that made him very sad because Austin loved it, because it made his heart happy."God, I really loved that chicken!” and Austin began to sob. A while later, Austin was walking out of the barn,he saw the chicken, in a dirty corner between the tractor and the door..

 ๐Ÿ‚YESS, GOD reminded me, “I am concerned about all the things in your heart, none are too small.”  Remember that God is moved by our heartfelt cries to HIM, that HE is a GOD who responds to our cries, a GOD Who cares about our cries. Even if those cries are about a seemingly insignificant barn chicken. It is not necessarily the significance of our cries, it is simply that we cry out to HIM and HE hears us.

God saw Hannah's tears and  Samuel was born,

God saw Hagar's tears in the desert and satisfied with water.

God saw Hezekiah's tears blessed him with 15 years to live on this planet.

God saw Nehemiah's tears and - Jerusalem's palace was built.

God saw Esther's tears and - The Jews were delivered from destruction.

Mary Magdalene tears - made her  the first-ever to see the resurrected Jesus.

๐Ÿ‚Why are you crying ?? Don't worry, God is never blind to your tears, never deaf to your prayers and never silent to your pain. He sees, He hears, and He will deliver.

๐Ÿ“–I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THE LORD; AND HE INCLINED TO ME, AND HEARD MY CRY. Psalms 40:1

๐Ÿ‚Remember the story of Lazarus and the tears GOD wept then.  Not because HE was supposedly too late and Lazarus was dead, but tears that flowed from a heart overcome with the sorrow spilling out of the hearts of Lazarus’ sisters, Mary and Martha.The very same GOD who knew in the next few moments Lazarus would walk in newness of life wept tears with those who wept. HE was touched by their sorrow.

๐Ÿ‚The very same GOD who knows in the blink of an eye this life will be over and we will be together face to face for all eternity will weep  with us while we weep.

๐Ÿ‚Psalm 56 teaches us that GOD does not simply dismiss our pain..HE keeps record of our tears.Personal. Intimate. Caring. This is who our GOD is.

๐Ÿ‚How beautiful does this make our GOD? That HE is telling us HE is aware of every tear we cry?

๐Ÿ‚GOD is not unaware of our struggles. HE is not withdrawing from our confusion. HE understands, because JESUS felt the burdens we feel.Hebrews 4:13--16

๐Ÿ‚Wasn't JESUS lonely? Didn't HE taste abandonment from GOD on the cross? Didn't HE sense anxiety in the garden when HE was sweating blood?  Didn’t HE weep at the loss of his friend, Lazarus?

๐Ÿ“–Hebrews 4:15 FOR WE DO NOT HAVE A HIGH PRIEST WHO CANNOT SYMPATHIZE WITH OUR WEAKNESSES, BUT WAS IN ALL POINTS TEMPTED AS WE ARE, YET WITHOUT SIN.

๐Ÿ‚The very same GOD who knows in the blink of an eye this life will be over and we will be together face to face for all eternity wept tears with them while they wept. Remember— our tears are noticed by your heavenly Father.

๐Ÿ“–Revelation 21:4 says:

 _AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES; THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH, NOR SORROW, NOR CRYING. THERE SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN, FOR THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY.”

๐Ÿ‚Until that day, do not forget that HE is aware. HE is putting things in motion to show HIS care for us. And all of this is for sinners, whom HE loves.

๐Ÿ‚May GOD be by your side today and give you strength, peace, joy and heal you with his pure love..HAPPY DAY..

THE DEAD EVANGELIST IN CHOIR ROBE!

 

Brother Clifford made it a duty upon himself that come sunshine or rain, he will be at the Train Station distributing Gospel Tracts to passengers as they board or leave the train! This he did faithfully for several years!

One day at the church service after a rendition by the choir members in church, the choir was appreciated, praised and given a standing ovation. Brother Clifford, instead of being happy for them was very sad. He thought his soul winning efforts was not being acknowledged, rewarded and recognised by the church members and ministers.

He also noticed that nobody from the station has met him to say thank you for what he has been faithfully doing over the years.

Brother Cliffird decided to abandon the trips to the Train Station. Instead he joined the choir and started singing with them. To his surprise he was warmly welcomed. He discovered also that very soon he was singing and receiving standing ovations. He concluded in his mind he has just made the right decision.

One day, he sang Psalm 23 as a solo and by the time he finished singing, the whole church including the pastoral team and the elders were on their feet clapping and giving him a standing ovation.

Suddenly there arose an old man, a stranger in the midst of the congregation who asked to sing the same song while the church was still on their feet clapping for the soloist.

Against protocol, the pastor cynically allowed the old man to sing.

By the time the old man finished singing, the whole church was on their knees, some weeping, others praying in repentance.

That day, there was no more sermon but an altar call. With sinners giving their lives and backsliders returning to their first love and the whole church rededicating its life.

Brother Clifford, the evangelist in choir robe, felt a deep hole in his heart. He felt empty. He saw the difference between entertainment for the appreciation of men and the ministration for the appreciation of heaven. He left the church with a heavy heart.

Without thinking of removing his choir robe, he headed for the Train Station empty handed as if in a trance. Getting there he met a man in the same spot where he used to stand to distribute gospel leaflets before. The man was distributing gospel tracts and handed him one. The Tract read "I WILL BE A FAITHFUL SOLDIER, I WILL DIE AT MY POST". It ended asking, "are you a faithful witness of the WORD?"

With tears in his eyes and a shaky voice, he asked the man how he came to start distributing the tracts at the spot in the Train Station. The busy man, not looking at him, told him of a dead man who used to come there come sunshine and rain to distribute tracts. That for months the man has not been there. He told him that he believed and concluded the man must be dead. He said the dead man once gave him a tract before that changed his commitment to Christ. And since the man was dead, he felt God wanted him to replace the dead man to continue the good work in the memory of the dead man.

The man kept emphasising, "The Dead Man, The Dead Man" which further sent Brother Clifford back to his knees weeping and asking for God's forgiveness.

Hmm...

If you are still reading this believe me, God has set you up to read it because He has a purpose for your life.

Have you left your assignment because of some discouragements from cynics and critics?

Have you abandoned the unheard, unseen and unsung praise of heaven for the standing ovation of men?

Are you like the evangelist in choir robe? Or are you like the singer singing to entertain in church - the place of entertainment is in the theatre not the church.

The church is for ministration in the Spirit by Worshiping God in The Spirit and The Truth.

 

 REMEMBER,  GOD IS A GOD OF SECOND CHANCE, SO IF YOU ARE FAR AWAY RETURN TO YOUR FIRST LOVE TODAY.

 

HE WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR FOOT TO BE MOVED

 

HE WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR FOOT TO BE MOVED;HE WHO KEEPS YOU WILL NOT SLUMBER.

๐Ÿ“–THE LORD IS YOUR KEEPER; THE LORD IS YOUR SHADE AT YOUR RIGHT HAND.Psalms 121:3,5

๐ŸŒ›Even the most efficient parents cannot watch over their children every single second. They get tired and have to rest and sleep. But our GOD watches over us every second of our lives.So, we can be at Peace. Quit worrying so much about our lives, about our children, about our parents.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐ŸŒ›Never forget JESUS is in the boat of life with us. To each storm HE can still speak the words: PEACE, BE STILL.The LORD watches over us. Rest assured, JESUS is in control of everything concerning us..

 ๐ŸŒ›No matter how difficult our days are, GOD was with us through it all. No matter how well that we planned our days, GOD changed it and ended it HIS way, for HIS reasons.  We know that the last thing I do at the end of every day, is give thanks to GOD for seeing us through another day!

๐ŸŒ›“Those Blessings are sweetest that are won with prayer and worn with thanks.--Thomas Goodwin

๐ŸŒ›Tonight, no scheming and planning for tomorrow, no anxieties and worries, just calmly and quietly leaving all in the Hands of our HEAVENLY FATHER..who will lead our lives..

NIGHTLY PRAYER ๐Ÿ™

MARTHA SAID TO JESUS,

 

NOW MARTHA SAID TO JESUS, “LORD, IF YOU HAD BEEN HERE, MY BROTHER WOULD NOT HAVE DIED. John 11:21

๐Ÿ”ฎShortly before Lucy's graduation, the LORD took her mother home. Her cry was, “GOD if YOU had healed her, she wouldn’t have died!” , When we pray fervently for something, we want JESUS to answer us. But sometimes HE doesn’t.

๐Ÿ”ฎWe could imagine Martha and Mary thinking "LORD where were you?" We can  identify with Martha’s pain.

๐Ÿ”ฎLORD, IF ONLY YOU came when he was sick.. IF ONLY YOU had come sooner this would not have happened...IF ONLY YOU stopped this from happening we wouldn’t have this pain..LORD, IF ONLY …HOW OFTEN DO WE ASK QUESTION IN OUR LIVES?

๐Ÿ”ฎ JESUS showed up after Lazarus died.HE could have came sooner.HE waited until Lazarus was dead in the tom…

PURE GOLD

 

๐Ÿ“–SEE, I HAVE REFINED YOU, THROUGH NOT AS SILVER; I HAVE TESTED YOU IN THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION. Isaiah 48:10

๐ŸซAs on date, this  verse reminds us of the people who are walking through fires of griefs, loneliness,  depressions, anxieties.

๐ŸซThat when silver is being refined, it's put in the fire. And that fire burns away the impurities and flaws.But the silver doesn't come out of the fire until the exact right moment.

๐ŸซAs each of us walk through different fires in lives, sometimes, it seems as if those fires are meant to consume us, to destroy us.

๐ŸซBut that fire we are walking in is, GOD takes it and uses it to refine us.

๐ŸซDid we know JESUS draws near to those who’re suffering? When we are, going through a crisis; HE is near, always.

๐Ÿ“– AND HE  SHALL SIT AS A  REFINER AND PURIFIER OF SILVER:... AND PURGE THEM AS GOLD AND SILVER, THAT THEY MAY OFFER UNTO THE LORD....*Mal 3:3

๐ŸซAn old story goes: There were some passers-by watching the refiner sitting by his pot of gold hanging over the fire. They wondered how much heat the gold could endure without being destroyed, and so they asked the refiner. He responded,

•“See how I sit by the fire?”.

•“Yes, of course, we see you.”

•“Well, see how I bend over the pot, looking into it?”

•“Yes, but how do you know how much heat that will allow the refining, without destroying the gold?”

•“I’ll know, when I see my own reflection.”....

๐ŸซThis describes the LORD as a REFINER OF GOLD. When gold is refined, the ore is placed in a large melting pot, then heated. The REFINER watches the pot closely, turning up the heat until the ore is completely melted. 

๐ŸซWhen the heat is highest, the REFINER is the closest, leaning over to skim off the dross, until he can see his face reflected in the surface of the melted gold.

๐ŸซRemember, when we suffer, GOD is not ignoring us. HE is the Refiner who is bending close, skimming off the impurities from our hearts and minds. 

๐ŸซSo,don’t worry. GOD knows the perfect temperature necessary to purify us until HE sees HIS reflection, in our lives.

๐ŸซToday, put GOD First and HE will always be the ONE to Love and Protect us and Save us from noisome pestilence, we are facing nowadays

๐ŸซDon't forget.. Listen to GOD with a broken heart. HE is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the FATHER who wipes away our tears.” ...

๐ŸซAll that is required, is our FAITH. Truly, GOD does nothing without purpose and reason..To make us look more like HIM.

๐ŸซEvery morning we get a chance..to change..Our past is  past.Leave it there.Get on with God.. ‌...TODAY, PEOPLE ASKED HOW YOU ARE ABLE TO STAY SO STRONG. MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS!

Strength from the LORD

 

FOR THOU ART MY HOPE, O LORD GOD: THOU ART MY TRUST FROM MY YOUTH. Ps 71:5

๐ŸคWhen I read this verse,I imagine  of a father scooping up his daughter to carry her in  his shoulders. Imagine the Delight, Hope and Trust in the child's face as she is raised to that place of security and fellowship. We can see, the relaxed form of the child as she leans into the father's strong frame.This is how, our reactions would be towards our Heavenly Father..

๐ŸคIf we face a mountain today, draw our Strength from the LORD. Remember David against Goliath... Daniel in the lion's den.. and Joshua against the walls of Jericho . We are given many examples in the Bible of people who overcame impossible odds, not by their own Strength, but by the Power of GOD. The LORD faithfully …

[8:03 pm, 30/10/2021] Igs Evelyn: ๐Ÿ“– ON MY BED I REMEMBER YOU; I THINK OF YOU THROUGH THE WATCHES OF THE NIGHT.Ps  63:6*

๐Ÿ•ฏWhat fills our minds when we are on our beds?,. Are we worried about the troubles that we would be facing the next day?...Are we thinking of the hurts that we had in the past?..Are we confused and anxious about many things?..

๐Ÿ•ฏStop doing all that and talk to our SHEPHERD. And that is what David did!..When we can't sleep don't count our sheep -- talk to the SHEPHERD! It would bring joy to our hearts!! Think of HIM through the watches of the  night!!!

๐Ÿ“–WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE AFRAID; YES, YOU WILL LIE DOWN AND YOUR SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. Proverbs 3:24

๐Ÿ•ฏLet GOD work the night shift, don't spend another sleepless night trying to work through all our problems. Trust in HIS timing, rely on HIS Promises and wait for his Blessings. He is always working for us.Rest in HIS  Peace and Love..No matter what we are facing, remember:

Our Heavenly Father, As we conclude this day we thank YOU for meeting all our needs today and protecting us in all that we did, and for all the little moments of blessing scattered along the way..We'd like to give back to YOU the glory and Praise.  As we lie down to sleep, help us to release the things that try to weigh us down..  Help us to forgive ourselves and others for the mistakes of today so that we can lie down and sleep in Peace, and awake ready and full of hope for tomorrow, In JESUS' name, Amen.

BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN GOD

 

OH, TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD; BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN HIM! Psalms 34:8

๐Ÿฅ—The well-known phrase, “Taste and see that the LORD is good,” is found in Chapter 34 of the Old Testament Book of Psalms. King David, known to be a man after God’s own heart, wrote many of the Psalms. Psalm 34 recounts 1 Samuel 21:10-15, which records David, on the run, acting insane to avoid being recognised..

๐Ÿฅ—Once a boy asked his Father:"Dad what is the size of GOD?" "Then the Father looked up at the Sky and saw a Plane and asked his Son: What is the size of this Plane? The Boy replied: "it is very small. I can hardly see it". Then, the father took him to the airport and as they approached a plane, he asked: "Now, my Son, how big is this Plane?" The boy replied:"Wow dad, it's huge!" Then the father told him: "GOD's size depends on how close or far you are to HIM. The closer you are to HIM, the Greater and Greater HE will be in your life!"

๐Ÿฅ—In our daily lives, we make mistakes, struggle with the status quo, endure unfair hardship and stretch to understand our purpose in life. When the great king wrote, “taste and see that the LORD is good,” he was expressing his utmost devotion and love for GOD, and the unexplainable depths of HIS compassion. “He is good, for he makes all those that Trust in HIM truly blessed; let us therefore be so convinced of HIS Goodness as thereby to be encouraged in the worst of times to trust him.”

๐Ÿฅ—The LORD is good and HE wants us to make HIM a part of our life. Sometimes our blessings come to us in mysterious ways, through pain and trouble. At times like these we can see the Goodness of GOD and put our Trust in Him. When we put our Trust in the LORD, we will be closer to HIM. His desire for us is to have peace. If we will realize how much God loves us, we could experience how great and good our GOD is!!

๐Ÿฅ—Consider the first part of this verse a warm hand extended in love—an invitation to draw close to GOD, to experience HIS Love and the Goodness surrounding HIM. He offers Protection, Direction, Peace, Forgiveness, Wisdom, and more. HE is good.

 ๐Ÿฅ—Never forget, we serve a BIG God! HE is our Strength...our Understanding...our Endurance.. our Supporter...Our Motivator...Our Guide...Our Protection.

๐Ÿฅ—If  we give our problems to GOD, we don't have to do them all on your own. There's nothing HE can't handle!!!!

๐Ÿฅ— No matter if our situations or circumstances are good or bad, taking refuge in the LORD indicates we Trust HIM and we run to Him for the little things in life, the big ones, too. And sometimes, when we're going closer to GOD, during those hard situations , we truly taste and see HIS goodness the most. 

๐Ÿฅ—In the midst of our deepest fears, He can speak peace to our heart.Go near and Taste the goodness of GOD and you will see how GOOD HE is.

๐Ÿฅ—What a beautiful new day! The Lord is Good! HE delights in giving HIS children good things! Enjoy a blessed day!

SING TO THE LORD

 

SING TO THE LORD, BLESS HIS NAME; PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS OF HIS SALVATION FROM DAY TO Day..Psalms 96:2

๐Ÿ“–LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.  Matt 5:16

๐Ÿ™ŒRemember a Rooster Belongs to only one household but, when it crows, the whole Community Hears and knows the arrival of sun has come out to declare Glory of the GOD.

๐Ÿ™ŒOnce upon a time there was a simple understanding that all living beings has to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through JOY. The birds still remember we have forgotten, that  is the way GOD wants to be celebrated..

๐Ÿ™ŒARE OUR TONGUES USED FOR THE GLORY OF GOD EACH DAY??? Do we praise GOD with our tongues or speak wounding words that break people around us?

๐Ÿ™ŒDo we declare the wonderful works of GOD in our lives and testify of His Goodness?

๐Ÿ™ŒDo we share the Good News of the great GOD who touched and changed our lives?

๐Ÿ™ŒDo we think and talk about prayers answered or forget and murmur about Blessings delayed?

๐Ÿ™ŒOne of the biggest reasons we are on this earth is to lead people around us into a right relationship with GOD-To share CHRIST with others!

 ๐Ÿ™ŒWho are the people in our lives who do not yet know CHRIST? People at work, in our neighborhoods, at college or university, on our sports team? Would we share the Love of JESUS with those who cross our paths? Aren’t we glad someone told us about CHRIST? Live such exemplary lives that people who live among us will know us, we are a FOLLOWER OF JESUS.

๐Ÿ“–MY TONGUE WILL PROCLAIM YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, YOUR PRAISES ALL DAY LONG. Ps 35:28

๐Ÿ™ŒHe Made Us To Declare HIS Praises! Only We Have The Privilege Of Sharing HIS Good News To Others Among All HIS Creations!! Let's Glorify GOD With Our Tongue!!!

๐Ÿ™ŒMay The Whole World Hear our Testimonies And Rejoice With Us Today And Always.. To God Be The Glory..

๐Ÿ™ŒCelebrate the new day with shouts of Praise, Love and Grace and with a beautiful smile upon our faces

PERFECT PEACE

 

๐Ÿ“–YOU WILL KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU, BECAUSE HE TRUSTS IN YOU.Isaiah 26:3

The world can be falling apart around us, and we can still be at peace. Why? Because JESUS is on HIS throne and HE has overcome the enemies! HE holds the whole world in HIS hands. HE has not forgotten His beloved ones. HE takes care of each one of us. Our GOD is faithful to save, protect, and cover us.

๐Ÿ“–AND THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. Philippians 4:7

Our Almighty LORD'S promises give us Peace when we face endless waves of challenges. Our Heavenly Father will never ever let down, HIS loving children.

HE gives us the authority to overcome every obstacle. We will be victorious when we live according to His will.

Don't worry about tomorrow, for today has enough cares of it's own. GOD gives us strength for each day, one day at a time. The LORD already knows what tomorrow holds in store for us. HE already has a plan,  how to deal with all that we will face and how HE will work it all together for our good.

 ๐Ÿ“–I WILL BOTH LIE DOWN IN PEACE, AND SLEEP; FOR YOU ALONE, O LORD, MAKE ME DWELL IN SAFETY. Psalms 4:8

GOD will be with us each step of the way. We are held in the palm of HIS hand. May we feel HIS Comfort and Peace. In the quiet of the night when everything is at rest, hear GOD'S gentle whisper saying, "Sleep my child, I will watch over you."

 NIGHTLY PRAYER๐Ÿ™

Our Heavenly Father, our Protector and Provider, as the day draws to a close we find refuge in YOUR arms. YOUR Faithfulness is our shield that protects us from one day to the next. Tonight, we bring before YOU the worries that could disturb our sleep and ask that YOU would calm our minds as we lay in our beds. Take away all anxieties about tomorrow as we know YOU will be there with us. Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD, Amen.

EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS

 

“FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN TO THEIR PRAYERS ” 1 Peter 3:12.

๐ŸŒง️Our LORD knows HIS children. HE knows when we are weary, how often we have been tried and tested, how much we have endured and every single detail pertaining to our lives. 

๐ŸŒง️The fact is, the longer and harder our afflictions, the  CLOSER GOD is to us, to show us HIS Love and Care.Perhaps, we were wondering if GOD has forgotten us. Not at all! How can HE? JESUS LOVES US!...

๐ŸŒง️Is there anything worse than to feel forgotten by God, abandoned, even doomed?

 ๐ŸŒง️Remember Noah, after being trapped inside the ark for so many months, tossed about in the midst of the whirlwind of heaven, it must have seemed to Noah that GOD had altogether forgotten HIS promise to save him, but Bible says in Genesis 8:1:

๐Ÿ“–THEN GOD REMEMBERED NOAH, AND EVERY LIVING THING, AND ALL THE ANIMALS THAT WERE WITH HIM IN THE ARK.

 ๐ŸŒง️But why the long silence, especially in such time of grave peril? Why did GOD seemingly hide HIS face? Why, except to teach Noah patience and perseverance in the midst of the great storm. Noah is a model of tested FAITH,  So if we're in the midst of a storm with no end in sight, hang on - GOD is Faithful and has not forgotten you....

๐ŸŒง️Our darkest nights could produce our brightest days..Our worst pains could reveal our greatest source of comfort..Our biggest weaknesses will affirm our greatest strengths.

๐ŸŒง️Tonight, no matter whatever, we went through so far in our lives, rest knowing that GOD knows our happiness and our sorrows and  HE is holding our hands no matter what.

NIGHTLY PRAYER๐Ÿ™

Our Heavenly Father, as this day winds down, help us to forget the cares of the day. Help us to reflect on our Blessings and all we have to be thankful for. Please LORD, help us to relax and unwind so we can sleep well. We give YOU our burdens, worries and anxious thoughts. Tonight as we go to sleep, please comfort us and keep us in the Cocoon Of YOUR Love..Lord, surprise us tomorrow with great blessings and big opportunities. In JESUS Name, Amen.

Sleep in PEACE tonight, GOD is bigger than  ANYTHING WE, WILL FACE TOMORROW..GOD bless our night.....

Gentle Shepherd!!

 

Do we often hear as it is written in Isaiah 30:21:

๐Ÿ“–YOUR EARS SHALL HEAR A WORD BEHIND YOU, SAYING, “THIS IS THE WAY, WALK IN IT,” WHENEVER YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT HAND OR WHENEVER YOU TURN TO THE LEFT.

๐Ÿ›ค️Of course, a BIG YESS.. standing at life's crossroad, we think it is the 'End', but GOD in HIS bigger vision tells us, it's only a 'Bend'. For HE knows very well how our story will end.

๐Ÿ›ค️The road will go on and get smoother and after we've stopped for a rest..The path that lies hidden beyond us is often the path that is best. So rest and relax and grow stronger, Let go and let GOD share our loads .And have FAITH for a brighter tomorrow. You've just come to a bend in the road.

๐Ÿ›ค️Often, GOD allows "bends" in the straight path.

๐ŸŽThe book of Job tells us all about a huge "bend" in Job's righteous road?

 ๐ŸŽCan we ever forget the bends in David's life or Esther's life??

๐ŸŽOfcourse, Joesph's bend in his life was a silent valley before he became the number two of Egypt..

๐ŸŽRuth was working in the field, the next season she was owning the same field!

๐Ÿ“–Bible says in Jeremiah 6:16: THUS SAYS THE LORD:“STAND IN THE WAYS AND SEE, AND ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS, WHERE THE GOOD WAY IS, AND WALK IN IT;THEN YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.

๐Ÿ›ค️Do we bent toward wanting to straighten GOD,'S bends though! Part of maturing in CHRIST means learning to understand those "bends" are allowed by HIS hand for HIS SOVEREIGN purposes..We serve a God who turns things around for GOOD.

๐Ÿ“–FOR I KNOW THE THOUGHTS THAT I THINK TOWARD YOU, SAYS THE LORD, THOUGHTS OF PEACE AND NOT OF EVIL, TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE.Jeremiah 29:11

๐Ÿ›ค️Today, no matter what we are facing right now GOD has a way to turn it around for good. HE is working behind the scenes to turn our story upside down. However, there is an appointed time in GOD'S calendar for our break through.

๐Ÿ›ค️The Road we Have Traveled has not always been an easy one and the path was often full of stones, but we're still here. We know the only reason we're  able to make it this far, is that GOD was walking the road with us, every step of the way.

๐Ÿ›ค️Therefore, when we cannot comprehend why trials come in our lives, let us simply rest and relax in the security that GOD is always in charge of us...

๐Ÿ›คRemember, GOD has a reason for allowing things to happen means GOD has greater  purpose  for HIS Glory..We may never understand HIS wisdom, but WE SIMPLY HAVE TO TRUST HIS WILL.

๐Ÿ›คGentle Shepherd!! Today, there's no other we can turn to who can help us face this day; Gentle Shepherd! come and lead us, For we need You to help us find our way and shower with blessings of Love, Hope, Good Health and Happiness!!Amen

GOD SENT HIS ANGEL

 

BUT DANIEL PURPOSED IN HIS HEART THAT HE WOULD NOT DEFILE HIMSELF...Dan 1:8

๐ŸซAn old Cherokee Chief told  his Grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humanity, kindness, empathy and truth." The boy thought about it and asked, "Grandpa, which one wins?" The Chief quietly replied, "The one you feed."

๐Ÿ“–All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”Read Mark  7:21--23

๐ŸซThe heart is a very fertile ground, anything we planted, here - love, hate, fear, hope - will surely grow and bear fruit. We alone have the choice to decide what we want to harvest...

๐ŸซDaniel made up his mind not to defile himself....Yes he made a choice and that was a right one...

To live a holy life is a choice...

To be disciplined in all we do is a choice...

To follow GOD sincerely out of love is a choice...

To live our lives to please GOD is a choice...

๐Ÿ“–MY GOD SENT HIS ANGEL, AND HE SHUT THE MOUTHS OF THE LIONS. THEY HAVE NOT HURT ME, BECAUSE I WAS FOUND INNOCENT IN HIS SIGHT.” Daniel 6:22   

 ๐Ÿซ"God’s Divine Intervention!" Daniel was known for wisdom, integrity, and faithfulness to GOD. Daniel had the ability to interpret dreams and visions.Daniel was consistently faithful to GOD, and the unbelievers around  him hated him for it. If we are going to live for the LORD, some people around us, are not going to like us, and will look for ways to attack us.

๐ŸซDaniel, however, maintained spiritual vitality in the midst of a world that was often hostile to his FAITH. No doubt a key factor to Daniel’s healthy FAITH was his regular practice of the spiritual disciplines like fasting and prayer..

๐ŸซDaniel’s FAITH in GOD allowed him to enjoy victory over the Den of Lions. His FAITH carried him through every trial, every temptation and every challenge.

๐ŸซEvery believer should live their lives unto the LORD and leave the results in HIS hands.GOD DOES NOT SHIELD US FROM THE TRIAL BUT GIVES US THE GRACE TO LIVE IN THE TRIAL.

๐ŸซLet’s determine in our hearts that we too, will do like Daniel and remain consistently Faithful to our GOD, Who is consistently faithful to us! Have we made up our minds today to feed the right one??

๐ŸซNOTHING WOULD CHANGE TILL THE DECISION IS MADE BY US!! A STRONG VALUABLE DETERMINATION WOULD BRING FORTH GREAT BLESSINGS!!!

๐ŸซOne day, we all will depart On a journey free of cost. Don't worry about seat reservation, It is confirmed. Our good deeds will be our luggage, Humanity will be our Passport, Love will be our Visa.Make sure, we do our best to travel to Heaven in Business Class.

๐ŸซA DAY OVERFLOWING WITH GOD'S LOVE AND HAPPINESS..

Bible is the Word of GOD

 

BUT THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES, THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT WEARY, THEY SHALL WALK AND not FAINT. Isa:40:31

๐Ÿฆ…The Bible is the Word of GOD and is powerful and life changing Holy Book. This verse  is a wonderful illustration of how, when we Trust in GOD & can overcome any obstacle in our walks of life, no matter how hopeless we feel. Over the centuries this passage has given Comfort and Encouragement to countless people.

๐Ÿฆ…The Eagle is one of the most talked about bird in the Bible..for it's Strength and Wisdom..The eagle allows the storm to take him to a higher place, the eagle finds a rock when he's in trouble and lets the sun cleanse him from all problems. The eagle doesn't flap around like the chickens or crows or sparrows. No, it waits patiently on the rock for the thermal currents, and only then does it take flight.  Not by its own effort, but by the effort of the wind beneath its wings.

๐Ÿฆ…The only bird that dares to peck an Eagle is the Crow. He sits on his back and bites his neck. The Eagle does not respond, nor spend time or energy on the Crow. It just opens its wings and begins to rise higher in the heavens. The higher the flight, the harder it is for the Crow, to breathe and then the Crow falls due to lack of oxygen…

๐Ÿฆ…Learn from the Eagle and don’t fight for the Crows, The Earthly Things..Just keep ascending.When our flight is with GOD, they will take off.They love to ride on us to rise higher but they will never keep up with our level of Excellence..

๐Ÿฆ…No matter, whatever our trials, our highs and our lows... with CHRIST, we too can soar like eagles, not on our own effort but by the strength of CHRIST.

๐Ÿฆ…But, if we face it, on our own, we are like chickens flapping about in the dirt and never getting off the ground.  But..well, WITH CHRIST ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

๐Ÿ“– IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN THE LORD THAN TO PUT CONFIDENCE IN MAN. Ps 118:8

๐Ÿฆ…Like eagle, look at things in a different perspective~Do not try to solve the problem with human wisdom.Rely on GOD'S wisdom in problem solving..

๐Ÿฆ…The Eagle does not fight the snake on the ground. It picks it up into the sky and changes the battle ground, and then it releases the snake into the sky. The snake has no stamina, no power and no balance in the air. It is useless, weak and vulnerable unlike on the ground where it is powerful and deadly.

๐Ÿฆ… Let's take our fight into the Spiritual Realm by PRAYING and when we are in the Spiritual Realm GOD takes over our battles.

๐Ÿฆ…Don't fight the enemy in his comfort zone, change the battle grounds like the Eagle and let GOD take charge through our earnest prayer.WE'LL BE ASSURED OF CLEAN VICTORY. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.

Let's fight our battles through PRAYER and win our battles through Faith.GOD is with us! Amen.

May you enjoy the blessings and favor of GOD today! Enjoy the beauty the day brings....

️God calls ordinary people,to do extraordinary things.

 

BUT GOD HAS CHOSEN THE FOOLISH THINGS OF THE WORLD TO PUT TO SHAME THE WISE, AND GOD HAS CHOSEN THE WEAK THINGS OF THE WORLD TO PUT TO SHAME THE THINGS WHICH ARE MIGHTY; 1 Corinthians 1:27

๐Ÿ•ณ️People will count us out and throw us away when they feel that we are broken beyond repair... but there is NO degree of brokenness that is beyond GOD'S ability to repair.

๐Ÿ•ณ️GOD will take the person that others see as weak and develop them into a MIGHTY WARRIOR in spite of their weaknesses, because HIS Strength is made perfect in our weakness.

๐Ÿ•ณ️Sometimes we have to be broken, in order to completely depend on GOD,so that we can be made Strong and Mighty in the spiritual... Whole and Complete in Christ!!!

๐Ÿ•ณ️This morning I was feeling down and in prayer GOD reminded me of Peter.

 ๐Ÿ•ณ️Remember , Peter  three times he denied JESUS.But GOD, loved Peter, with an unfailing Love. A love that does not disappear when we make mistakes. Peter wept bitterly after denying JESUS and hearing the rooster cry. He remembered what JESUS had predicted happening and imagine his heart was broken and full of Repentance. How much sorrow he must have carried knowing the last time he had seen JESUS he had denied Him..

๐Ÿ•ณ️But  remember what happened next? After the resurrection JESUS was on the Sea of Galilee. The Bible says that early in the morning JESUS stood on the shore.HE had been waiting for Peter. JESUS had been waiting for His student who had denied HIM. HE had  fire going with fish and bread cooking. And Peter jumped out from the boat and ran to HIM.

๐Ÿ•ณ️JESUS is the same today.HE waits for us...Even after we let Him down...Even when we fail and make mistake.. HE is waiting for us...Preparing for us. And HE is there with open arms as we run with wild abandonment back into HIS love and grace.The human instinct is to doubt HIS goodness.. HE'LL never give us more than we can handle, HE will make us brave!

DAVID was a meek musician, shepherd & overlooked son.But, GOD made him the GREATEST KING of Israel.

RUTH,despite of her outsider status, she became the great grandmother of King David. God changed the  HISTORY OF THE WORLD thro' her.

PETER was a poor fisherman, but Jesus gave him the KEYS OF HEAVEN. Mat 16:19

PAUL persecuted  Christians, after he had an encounter with JESUS, became GREATEST MISSIONARY ever.  

๐Ÿ•ณGod calls ordinary people,to do extraordinary things. Our LORD can make a way and knows how to part the Red Sea! Do not try to fathom HIS way -Instead- Spend time enjoying HIS goodness....

๐Ÿ•ณJESUS is still waiting for us on the shore with the refreshing breakfast cooked by HIM personally with Love and Concern for HIS children, even  when we deserted HIM. He called them with an endearing word ‘My Children…. Do you Have Anything To Eat…???’ That is JESUS!.. and HIS Love!! Nobody can Love us more than JESUS in this whole world...Shall we join with HIM in the table?? May God Go With Us All Throughout This Day!

Wait for God's Blessings..

 

WAIT ON THE LORD:BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND HE SHALL STRENGTHEN THINE HEART:WAIT, I SAY, ON THE LORD.  Ps 27:14

๐ŸŒดWe can all learn a lesson from the Judean date palm tree. Reports said, that for over 3,000 years, that tree provided shade and fruit to the people of the Middle East. But then came the Roman army, which wiped the date palm out. After 1500 years, archeologists unearthed a jar of seeds.The seeds spent another 40 years, until an Israeli researcher planted one, just to see what would happen. Miraculously, it sprouted and flowered.It’s now the oldest known tree seed ever to germinate.

๐ŸŒดSo when you think all our dreams and ambitions are gone forever and will never come back, REMEMBER THE JUDEAN DATE PALM TREE. As long as we carry the seeds of our dreams in our  hearts, take to the LORD in Prayer..it’s never too late to make a comeback.

๐ŸŒดSometimes blessings are released quickly... sometimes they may be delayed... sometimes it has to be unearthed.. and sometimes they don't come in the manner that we expect them to... BUT the blessings ALWAYS come. Be encouraged and keep EXPECTING… Know that in GOD'S Perfect Timing, the promised blessings WILL COME!!! God said it, therefore HE WILL DO IT... continue to TRUST and BELIEVE it!!!

๐Ÿ“–GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, NOR A SON OF MAN, THAT HE SHOULD REPENT. AS HE SAID, AND WILL HE NOT DO?OR HAS HE SPOKEN, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD? Numbers 23:19

๐ŸŒดDON'T MISTAKE GOD'S PATIENCE IN YOUR SITUATION AS HIS ABSENCE .

Moses waited 120 years.

Abraham waited 25 years.

 Jacob waited 20 years.

 Joseph waited 25 years.

 Moses waited 40 years.

David waited 12 years.

Jesus waited 30 years...

๐ŸŒดIf we are in a season of waiting, be patient.GOD'S timing is perfect.

๐ŸŒดDon't judge the journey before it's over. See what the end will be. If we Trust GOD'S promise, we have to trust HIS path. It might be winding... It might be confusing... It might not feel good. But HE is the GOD of the detour and we can trust where HE'S leading us.

๐ŸŒด GOD'S plan is always the best. Sometimes the process is painful and hard.GOD is always there and sometimes a delay in plans is GOD'S protection wrapped around us..Don't forget that when GOD is silent, HE'S doing something good for us..The teacher is always silent when the test is going on..TRUST HIM.

 ๐ŸŒด Today, May Our Cups Overflow With GOD'S Richest Blessings.

GOD WILL SURELY DELIVER US

 

๐Ÿ“– SURELY HE SHALL  DELIVER YOU FROM THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER AND FROM THE PERILOUS PESTILENCE. Ps:91:3

๐Ÿช”The LORD, our GOD is a GOD who delivers HIS children.

GOD delivered David from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear;

GOD delivered him from the hand of the enemy King Saul and from many enemies!

GOD delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the fiery furnace!

GOD delivered Daniel from the mouth of the lions!

GOD delivered Apostle Paul and those who were with him from the terrible shipwreck!

๐Ÿช”GOD WILL SURELY DELIVER US TOO! Sometimes GOD holds us back temporarily until the road is safe and clear to continue. Be thankful for the stall!

๐Ÿช”Even when we don’t feel GOD, HE is still right there. HE is with us. HE strengthens us. HE holds us up by HIS own.

๐Ÿช”Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same loving Father who cares for us today, will care for us tomorrow and every day.

๐Ÿช”Either HE will shield us from suffering or HE will give us  unfailing strength to bear it..Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings.

๐Ÿช”Tonight... May the power of GOD'S Love pour in and spill out of us. May the wonder of HIS Nearness give us safe assurance that YOU ARE NEVER ALONE.

NIGHTLY PRAYER๐Ÿ™

Our Heavenly Father, Thank YOU that even when the darkness surrounds us, we have JESUS, the Light of the World, to light our path. Thank YOU for all the times YOU have brought us safely through not only the day, but our darkest nights as well. Help us to always seek YOUR Light, trusting HIM to lead us into the dawning of a glorious new day, In JESUS' name, Amen..

May the LORD surround us and our Families with Peace, as we settle down to Rest.. GOD Bless with Sweet Dreams!

GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD

 

OH, GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD! FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER.1 Chron 16:34

๐Ÿ“–MY VOICE YOU SHALL HEAR IN THE MORNING, O LORD; IN THE MORNING I WILL DIRECT IT TO YOU, AND I WILL LOOK UP. Psalms 5:3

๐ŸŒฅ️What a powerful concept. Jewish people around the world begin each day with the prayer "Modeh Ani" means "I give thanks."

๐ŸŒฅ️As Rabbi Jonathan Sacks put it, "Even Before We Think, We Thank...It's The ROCK upon which the entire day is built.While still in bed, the day begins with opening one's heart to GOD......

๐ŸŒฅ️The "Modeh Ani" is just the first of the Jewish morning prayers of thankfulness..

๐Ÿ“–OH, SATISFY US EARLY WITH YOUR MERCY, THAT WE MAY REJOICE AND BE GLAD ALL OUR DAYS!Psalms 90:14

๐ŸŒฅ️The early morning hour should be dedicated to praise: Don't the birds set us the example? Olden times, people, like  the birds, used to sing at dawn and at dusk was to thank the GOD thro' songs.

 ๐ŸŒฅ️Psalm 100, which is recited daily, A Song of Praise for the Lord’s Faithfulness to HIS People.

๐Ÿ“–MAKE A JOYFUL SHOUT TO THE LORD, ALL YOU LANDS!SERVE THE LORD WITH GLADNESS; COME BEFORE HIS PRESENCE WITH SINGING. Psalms 100:1,2

๐ŸŒฅ️As the German theologian, Meister Eckart, said:

"If the only prayer we ever say is, 'THANK YOU,' that would be enough."It connects us to HIM in the most intimate of ways,And has the power to change our lives!

๐Ÿ“–GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES; FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS.1 Thess 5:18

๐ŸŒฅ️Have you ever stopped and  wondered what GOD has done in your life that you aren't even aware of? Maybe HE healed us before we even knew we were sick... Perhaps HE saved us from a fatal car crash that never happened... In heart of heart we knew, GOD has protected us many times than we can count, or unaware that we were even in danger.

๐ŸŒฅ️Always, take a moment to thank GOD for protecting us. HE is ALWAYS watching over us, even when we don't realize it. Breathe a prayer of thanks for the countless ways HE'S been good to us. What an awesome GOD we serve!

 ๐ŸŒฅ️When we find ourselves overwhelmed with burdens and worried about tomorrow, we can praise GOD for who HE is and HIS promise to Never Leave Us Or Forsake Us.

๐Ÿ“–GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD AND PROCLAIM HIS GREATNESS. LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW WHAT HE HAS DONE. Psalm 105:1

๐ŸŒฅNever forget, we have been blessed with the free gift of salvation and eternal life!

๐ŸŒฅToday And All-days Take A Few Minutes To Sit Quietly And Be Thankful For All That You Have.Give Thanks To Unknown Blessings Already On Their Way.. Warmest Blessings..
