Expect God

Expect The Lord God to move on your behalf and not man or self.  The bible says those that wait (expect, look for and hope in) upon The Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles they shall run and not grow weary (Isaiah 40:31) Why because they are trusting God and not man. When we do this we know everything is going to be ok. So our strength is renewed. We can run and not grow weary and walk and not faint. Because  we are not trying to make it happen in our own strength. We are resting in God in his ability to make it happen. Don't loose your strength trust God and be at peace.

The Best is Yet to Come

                   Why should I want to go back to any thing in my past when God said in his word Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. "Behold I am doing a new thing Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it and know it and will you not take heed to it" (Isaiah 43-18:19) I am looking forward to new and great things God is going to do in my Life and my family life ! What about you ? God can't do a new thing for us if we don't expect new and better things from Him now, today.  I believe God is going to make my latter greater than my past ! What about you?

You are Strong in Christ

    You will never know how strong you are if you keep complaining and saying you can't do it. Look back in your life and see how much God has brought you through and you will discover that you are stronger than you think  through Christ. I remember when I was in the service and I had to float on my back using jeans as flotation tool in over 20 feet of water for just a quarter of the pool.  I kept complaining while I was doing it saying I can't do it. Then my swimming instructor told me to look up he said you swam almost across the whole pool. I did more than required to past the test. I was stronger than I thought. As a mother with a child diagnosed with autism their has been many times I have had to encourage myself because I have felt like I just could not make it. Well it's been 7 years since his diagnosis and I am still here. I can't say it's not been hard because it has been, but God's grace has been sufficient. I have learn that the more I say I can't do it the weaker I get. But when I begin to confess the word of God that I am more than I a conqueror and I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. I feel empowered and ready to face another day. So I say to you today Don't believe the lies of the devil when he tells you, you can't do it or you can't take it any more. Speak life yourself, encourage yourself in The Lord with the word of God.  Speak back to the enemy saying  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13. One day you will look back and see how God has brought you through in Christ.

God Is Our Hope

God is not dead. God's people are not without hope. God is our hope. Therefore  "The Good Old Days" are not behind you they are ahead of you. Walk in obedience to God, put your  trust in Him  and expect Him to do great things in your life. Psalms 23: 6a states Surely Goodness  and Mercy shall follow me All the Days of My Life. Therefore God has some goodness and mercy for us today and everyday we live. Look ahead for some great things from God.

We Can Worship God AnyWhere

I am so glad that God dwells with his people. Sometimes we can't get to church. But we can build an altar around our heart and we can enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with Praise. For God inhabits the praises of his people. We can have church right where we are because we are the church the temple of the Living God. 

Your Calling Is Important

               Whatever God has given you to do is important and not insignificant. We are valuable not because of what we do but who we are in Christ. Don't allow the standards of this world to dictate what is important or what you should be doing. 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to  put the  wise to shame, and God hath chosen  the weak things of the world to shame the mighty.  The world doesn't dictate what's important in God's kingdom to God's people. So we can do whatever he wants with joy and confidence knowing He approves and that's all that matters. 

God is Thinking Good Thoughts About Us

 We are always on God's mind and He is always thinking good thoughts about us. Psalms 139: 17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me., O God how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with thee. So God wants us to succeed he doesn't want us to fail. He is thinking good thoughts and he wants the best for us and wants to give us the best. So when you think no one is thinking about you be comforted with this thought God is thinking good thoughts about me.
