The Promises of God:

"For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness" (Psalm 18:27, 28).

Thank God He cares about those who are afflicted - care enough to "light their candle"! :-) Since He is the LIGHT that is not hard to understand. It is one of the most moving things we see as we look at Jesus Ministry. He reaches out to - cares about - hangs out with - those who are afflicted and need light shed on their darkness! No matter what darkness you may find yourself in today - remember Jesus - the Light of the World will come and shed light on your pathway if you'll ask Him. It's a promise!

The Promises of God:

"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God" (Psalm 42:11).

This is the way we need to speak to ourselves rather than beating ourselves up and agreeing to the lies of the devil! Find a scripture that will encourage your heart and speak it out loud when the evil one comes and fills your mind with destructive and negative thoughts - Even Jesus had to speak the word out loud in order to fight the attacks of the enemy. And reach out and encourage someone else too - it's amazing how much that helps encourage our own hearts!

The Promises of God:

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all" (Psalm 34:19).

We like the DELIVER part but tend to forget the MANY afflictions part! :-) LIFE happens to us all. Rich and poor, famous or not - intellectual - or not - NO EXEMPTIONS!! BUT as the righteous ones, we have the LORD who delivers us out of all life throws at us! Don't be surprised that life happens - and sometimes unexplainable wrongs are done us. Remember "it comes to pass" we have a MIGHTY DELIVERER who is on our side! Hallelujah! We will not fear - what can man do to us? !!!! Courage, dear heart! Press on!

The Promises of God:

"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" (Psalm 30:5).

I would like you to read that verse again and emphasize the word MAY - It is not God's intention for us to continue to sorrow as those who have no hope from the losses life hands us. As in child birth, joy follows pain, if we allow our hearts to open up to receive that joy. There are so many things we grieve the loss of as humans, loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of a home, loss of rank, or reputation, loss of a business, loss of friends, what is it that still is grieving your heart? Change and loss are CERTAINTIES in this life...we should not be surprised or shocked by them, yet we are. Are we willing to allow the night to pass and open our hearts up again to JOY? "weeping MAY endure for a (long) night,...... B U T - JOY comes in the morning and morning always comes! Remember, Joy is a choice, let's  choose JOY!

Happy March FORTH!

The Promises of God:

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling" (Psalm 91:10).

What a comforting promise - It doesn't mean that the enemy won't try to hurl evil / plaques at us - try he will - but we have this word to stand on - don't take his attacks laying down - "Having done all to stand, STAND!" Gird on your armor and resist the devil and he will flee from you!

The Promises of God:

"Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel" (Psalm 128:3-6).

BLESS YOU! How often we use those words without thinking what we are saying. THE Lord bless you and keep you, make His face shine on you, and give you peace. How important that we speak BLESSING over our own lives and all those who live in our homes. Then extend it - and take that blessing out to those you work with and those you meet throughout your day - Wouldn't that be a neat way to greet one another, rather than, "how ya doing?" :-)

God BLESS you today!

The Promises of God:

"In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge" (Proverbs 14:26).

"The seed of the righteous shall be delivered" (Proverbs 11:21).

"The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him" (Proverbs 20:7).

Blessings and promises that reach to our children! It is just true that we either pass on blessing or cursing! We may come from a long line of dysfunctional cursing families - but we have the power to break the cycle and change it to one of BLESSING upon BLESSING! It is far reaching - so start not only believing it but speaking BLESSING over your children today - grown or not and see how far reaching the effects will be!
