His way is perfect.

We have a God who is all-powerful, all-knowing and sovereign. He sees the beginning from the end. Do you trust Him with your time, your children, your family and your life? "As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him....it is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect." 2 Samuel 22:31-33 We most often times think we know what's best and then find out later that was not the case. But we have a God who will direct our paths-His ways are perfect and He knows what is best for you and me. "Good and upright is the Lord; therefore, He instructs sinners in His ways. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way. ALL of the ways of the Lord are LOVING and FAITHFUL for those who keep the demands of His covenant." Psalm 25:10 You and I can choose God's way or we can choose our way. If we choose our way, we will never be satisfied. We will keep searching and striving and always end up on a dead end road. Sure, you may obtain wealth or temporary pleasure for a season, but this will not last. God has a plan for each of our lives. This plan is always for our good. We must keep our eyes on Him, not just some of the time, but all the time. He will never ever disappoint you my friend. His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Remember, God has always been....before time began. We have to make the choice to trust Him with everything. He promises that He will direct your steps. "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." Psalm32:8 Also that the "Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in Him." Psalm 32:10 We can trust God always-He is faithful! We may be disappointed by things that happen in our life, but God can and will take our pain and work it all out for our good. He will also use your pain and experiences for you to minister to others who may be going through a difficult time.Don't go by what you see with your natural eye...it is so important that we get in God's word and let Him speak to us. He wants to do so much in your life-far more than you could ever ask, think or imagine. He wants to work in and through you, but you must first let Him in and let Him have control of everything in your life. It is so refreshing to know that we do not have to worry about tomorrow. Lay all your cares and concerns at the feet of Jesus-let Him carry your burden. He will carry it for you so you don't have to. Don't worry about tomorrow, God promises to take care of your daily needs. Focus on the here and now and thank God for what He has done and will do. Ask Him to help you focus on Him and ask Him to help you to trust Him more. Remind yourself of who God is-Lord and Creator, Master and Maker of everything. Ask Him to "direct your footsteps according to His word; and let no sin rule over you." Psalm 119:133 God is truth, His word is truth. "Great peace have they who love Your law, and nothing can make them stumble." Psalm 119:165 This peace is awesome; the peace that God gives is something that words can hardly describe-it does pass all human understanding. This peace is there for you and for me."You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock eternal." Isaiah 26:3-4 The Lord is whispering to you, "in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33 Jesus will give you the peace cannot be shaken. Stand firm in Him and keep your eyes fixed on Him!

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...
