God spoke, and it was so


Today I took the boys to Hanging Rock. As I looked at how beautiful the waterfalls and mountains were and the beautiful blue sky with the ravens
flying overhead, I just kept thinking how awesome is our God who created all of this with His breath. He spoke the world we know into existence. Can you just wrap your mind around that thought? God SAID "let there be light, and there was light," God SAID "let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water" when He did this He called the expanse from the water above "sky", and God SAID, "let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear, and it was so, and God called the dry ground "land." Genesis 1:3-9
There is so much beauty that we have yet to see when you consider all of the galaxies that are out there and everything under the sea. God did this with you and me in mind. "Lift up your eyes to the heavens, who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing." Isaiah 40:26 Our God calls each star by name. This should be a reminder to us just how much God cares about details. He cares about every detail in your life, no matter how small you think it may be.
"By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the BREATH OF HIS MOUTH. He gathers the waters of the seas in to jars, He puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere Him. For HE SPOKE and it came to be; He commanded and it stood firm." Psalm 33:6-9 It goes on to say in verses 13-15 "from heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; from His dwelling place He watches all who live on the earth-He who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do." God sees all, He knows all. When you think no one is watching or no one will find out, God sees and He knows even before you do the next step you are going to take. In Jeremiah we read "Ah, Sovereign Lord, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you." 32:17 Hold on to this verse....there is NOTHING too hard for God! Hold on to the hope you have in Him. He can and will do mighty things in your life, that only He can do. Trust Him! Trust the One who holds everything together.

Live for God, not man

Paul wrote these words in Galations, "Am I now trying to win the approval of men or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." 1:10 Which one are you doing? Who do you place your confidence in? It is so easy to get caught up in pleasing other people, but we can never please everyone no matter how hard we try. We need to look to the One who is the author and finisher of our faith. Do everything that you do for the glory of God. He is the One you will stand before one day, not your spouse, your parents your children or your friends. We are called to be set apart. This means that sometimes we are to take a stand even when it is difficult and may (probably will) cause division. When Christ comes in and takes over, He begins to change you from the inside out. This is not something you can do on your own. Things you once did, you no longer have the desire to do and when you are tempted, God will show you the way ...

Hold on!

"The One who calls you is faithful and He will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:24 We serve a God who is so faithful. He is faithful to us even when we are not. He has an appointed time for everything. And friend, His purpose will prevail. This is not in our time...we must remember, that it is in His perfect timing. He knows what is best for us and He will work ALL things for our good for those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. He uses all of our circumstances to conform us to the likeness of His Son Jesus. Romans 8:28-29 My friend, I don't know what you are going through or how long you have been waiting for the answer from God, but please do not give up. Don't lose hope in the fact that your God is mighty and powerful. Don't stop short of the answer. He tells us in His word to not get weary in well-doing, for in due season, if you faint not, you will receive your reward.Galatians 6:9 This is a promise from God Almighty. He cannot lie. But we have t...

Satan Is Your Enemy, Not People

I know there are times when it feels like others are truly your enemy, by the things they say or how they treat you, however, they are not your real enemy-satan is. While he does use people as part of his strategy, he is always the one behind the warfare. You must remember this at all times. Don't let satan catch you off guard. He will come at you especially during times you are tired both physically and emotionally. He comes only to kill, steal and destroy-your family, your testimony, your finances, your relationships and your health. satan is the father of lies, he was a murderer from the beginning and there is no truth found in him (John 8:44).      Satan has been deceiving people since the Garden of Eden where he first deceived Eve. He appeared to her and asked "Did God really say, you must not eat from any tree in the garden?" which caused her to question God (Genesis 3:1). Make no mistake, satan knows the word of God and he will distort it for his evil schemes. He...
