He Is Our God!
Find rest, o my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress,
I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge."
Psalm 62;5-8 NIV
What a great verse! It is a great life verse. Read it.
Hesitate and place emphasis on each word. Trust. In Him. At all times. When? ALL TIMES.
Pour out your hearts to Him. Pour your heart out to who? Him - Jesus our Lord God. Why? HE IS OUR
REFUGE.
The only way. THE only way to get through any struggle in
this world is to lay it (problems - circumstances - petitions) at the foot of the cross. We place so much worry
and stress in our lives trying to travel the road alone.
Some of us shop to relieve stress, which causes
more stress because we may have created a financial burden. Some people drink. There are no answers in the bottom
of a bottle. It just numbs you to reality and ruins your Christian witness. Some people withdraw from people who
love them - that doesn't help, we need to be encouraged by those who love us. How can they encourage when they do
not know the pain you are feeling?
Read this verse again - Find
rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress,
I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in Him at
all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge." Find rest in Him, because why?
Your HOPE IS IN GOD ALONE!
I pray the Lord has touched your heart. I pray He will continue to bring you closer to Him and guide you
in the decisions you make each day. Desire a closer walk. Have a great Wednesday. Please pray for my friends
sister, she will be going to the doctor today to discuss further treatment for possible breast cancer, her name is Becky.
Count your blessings dear friends.
Love,
Tracy
Love this song ... How Can I Keep From Singing (by Chris Tomlin)
There is an endless
song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring
And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To
the rock I cling
How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your
love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want
to sing
I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives
And I will walk
with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give
I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me
up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around
the throne
Is this our prayer today?
"I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go
for us?' And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
Isaiah 6:8 NIV
Is this our prayer today? I gotta be honest, somedays I probably pray "here I am Lord, but can't someone
else do it."
Sometimes, that is just not the way it is going to be, the Lord is just going to keep
grasping at our hearts until we listen. The sky is clear - look up! Verse 9 nine says, "He said, go
and tell this people: Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving."
I was watching the last 15 minutes of Dr. Phil last
night. Bishop T.D. Jakes was on and I was curious to see why. They had this couple on who lost their 3 year old
son just this past January. The Mom heard a noise at night, so she got out her gun and searched the house. It
turned out to be nothing. She got back in bed and slept with the gun under her pillow. The next day she got up
and did her regular morning routine. She was changing her baby when her three year old came in the room to be close
to them. Before she knew it, he had put his hands under her pillow, felt the gun and shot himself in the stomach.
My heart just broke for them. The guilt she is placing on herself for this horrible, horrible accident.
But the reason she was on the show - just 8 short months since her son passed away, was this verse!
Here
I am Lord, I am deep in the valley, but someone has to know.
I have to tell someone. I have to share
my testimony. We are grieving, but if I can just help save just one person, that was my mission for you. Whatever
it takes Lord.
I wish that Bishop Jakes had said, don't lose your faith in Christ. Seek council
with Godly people, turn to the Lord. All he said was "surround yourself with positive people." Which
is good advice, they don't need negative people dragging them down, but he had a great opportunity and he missed it.
Don't miss that opportunity.
Always thirst for more knowledge in Christ. He will place you where you need
to be each moment of your life. Watch as the Lord uses you to be a vessel for His Glory to lead someone else to the
saving knowledge of His love for them.
All it takes is willingness to Go - tell it on the mountain!
You can do it! Through Christ, all things are possible!! What is possible with Jesus? ALL THINGS!
He is our Rock, Redeemer, Savior, He holds the answers to all that you are seeking. He will see you through the
valley and raise you up to the top of the mountain! Place your faith in Him, trust in Christ Jesus alone and
He will see you through! I hope you all have a great day! Count your many blessings.
Love,
Tracy
Trust in the Lord
"For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into
the sea and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall
have whatsoever he saith."
Mark
11-22-23 NIV
God can move the mountains in your life. Things may
seem impossible, but with God nothing is impossible. He will direct your path right to Him. Be
faithful to Him, don't give up. The Lord will help you, one day at a time get back to the direction that is set
for your life by God. The road always seems long when we are facing a valley, doesn't it? But once we've
been on the journey and see where God is leading us sometimes it was not as bad as we thought!
God still comforts the broken hearted! God still heals, God still loves the sinner. God has not
changed - but it is about time that we do. God loves you. Don't give up. Still fight the fight. There
will be healing for you, there will be healing for a broken marriage, there will be instruction for finances, there will
be a touch for broken bodies. Don't think that you have to handle lives struggles alone. Turn to Jesus!
I hope you have a blessed Monday. Remember nothing is impossible for God, just trust in Him today ask Him to guide your way.
Love,
Tracy
