“But in that coming day no weapon formed against you will prosper. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord. Their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!”
One of my life passages.
Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of The Lord is finished correctly.
(God has chosen us as his Temple. He will finish the work that he has started in us, (Phil. 1:6. ) and he will be mindful of EVERY DETAIL. We are in good hands!)
Well I finished my last paper that was due for class last night. I am officially done with school until the end of Aug. when I start my Masters degree program. I am truly overwhelmed with emotion this week as I have done a great deal of reflecting on all that God has done in my life. I am excited about what He has in store for my future. I have a grand baby due at the end of May. My first grand baby by blood. My youngest son just turned 18 and he has been very supportive and responsible for his girlfriend. I am proud of him. So I am looking forward to being a grandma.
God is good…ALL the time.
The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words. I will never forget this time, as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: THE FAITHFUL LOVE OF THE LORD NEVER ENDS! HIS MERCIES NEVER CEASE. GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS; HIS MERCIES BEGIN AFRESH EVERY MORNING!
For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to SERVE one another in LOVE.
But he was pierced for OUR rebellion, crushed for OUR sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s path to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.
THANK YOU GOD!
We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
(Praise God for our new life in Christ!)
Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do EVERYTHING with love.
