A Praise to God

 “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” 

(Psalm 73:26, NIV).

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted. My heart was heavy and zi was weary, but God is my strength.  God is my everything.  Today I would like to offer a praise to My God.  I want to praise Him for His faithfulness and honor Him for His holiness.

I want to thank Him for His daily presence.  

I want to thank God for Jesus that ushers in salvation and the Spirit that grants sanctification.  I want to thank Him for His wisdom and grace.  I thank Him for His covering.  I thank Him for being God.

Lord, You know what I have been through and You are seeing me to the other side.  Thank You Lord.  I love You.  In Jesus name. Amen

Victory in the storm

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.Isaiah ~43:2

My pastor is currently teaching us about victory in the storm.  Storms are trials and tribulations.  They look like grief over the loss of loved ones, sickness and disease, financial strain and hardships, depression, and lack of clarity.  Storms are not fun when you are going through, but one thing remains true- God is with us.

We will not be swallowed up.  We will not drown. We will make it to the other side.  We just have to continue to put our hope and trust in God.  He is our anchor and  sure foundation.

The enemy wants us to withdraw from God, but now is the time that we draw even closer to Him.  Now is the time to feel His breath upon our spiritual skin.  God is good in every season and in Joshua 1:9  He reminds us to be of good courage because He is with us.

Lord,  help us to cling to You in the midst of the storm,  strengthen our faith and let us feel your love.  Even when we don’t understand they why we know You are working it out for our good.  Help us to cling to the truth of You.  In Jesus name. Amen
