He helps us and encourages us. He tells us to, "fear not."
Deut 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
He is our God!! What an awesome God we serve.
1Sam 2:2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
Psalm 86:10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
The Lord restores peace in our homes. He gives joy and blesses us with spiritual blessings. He restores marriages. He heals our bodies. He protects us and strengthens our health. He gives peace in the midst of storms. He gives us hope when all hope seems lost. The Lord provides for us. He is our help in times of trouble. He is our Shield in the midst of battle. He is Shepherd when we don't know the way. He is the voice of wisdom when we don't know what to do. What an awesome God we serve! He saved us and He abides with us...never to leave us.
Eph 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
When we remember all the wonderful things the Lord has done for us, there is no possible way that doubt can remain. Let us be thankful and let us lift our praise to the Lord for all the wonderful things He has done for us. Remember Him! Remember all the things He has done for you! Take a sheet of paper and start writing all the things the Lord has done for you. Whenever doubt creeps in, take that sheet of paper out and review it from time to time. The Lord is with us.
1Tim 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
1Thes 5:16 Rejoice evermore. 1Thes 5:17 Pray without ceasing. 1Thes 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
2Cor 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Deut 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
COMMIT YOUR WAYS TO THE LORD.
Psalm 37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Prov 16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
God is concerned with the little things in our life as well. Things most would deem as trivial, God is concerned about these things too. No problem is too big or too small for the Lord! All problems are small to Him because nothing is difficult for Him. Some say, "Well, I don't want to trouble the Lord with such a small thing..." Trouble Him? You can never trouble God. Nothing is difficult for Him. Whether you ask for something big or small, all things are considered small in His eyes. There is nothing that He cannot do for you when you ask according to His will.
NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR THE LORD. Believe God's Word. Trust in Him to see you through whatever trial you are facing.
Jer 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Let me use an example... If you ask me for a penny, I would gladly give you one...that is within my reach. If you ask me for a dollar, I would give you one...that too is within my reach. If you ask me for $10.00, I may have to go to the bank and get it for you. If you ask me for $1000.00, now that may be difficult and if you ask me for a million dollars, I would have to say, "There is no possible way I can get that for you..."
But see, with God, asking for a penny or for a million...both are the small things to Him. Nothing is hard for Him. Nothing is beyond His reach. To God, every problem is small. If we would only let that sink in. We must believe God! We must trust Him and put our complete faith in Him. He is the God that cannot fail. Everything we own is because of Him. Everything we have-- our salvation, family, friends, pets, income, house, cars, and all our possessions...EVERYTHING He gave to us. If we can grasp this, how much more faith we would have when trials come our way. Every pay raise you have ever received, every promotion you have ever earned-- God gave it to you. Every house you have ever lived in, God blessed you with.
He helps and strengthens you to do your best in your place of work and then blesses you with an increase in pay. Think about this. He helps you to succeed and then blesses you with benefits. What a great God we serve. When we rely upon His strength, we find Him to be our strong tower. The Lord is our strength.
The way of the world is to take from you what you have but God gives. He is the Giver of Life and the blessor of all things pure and good. He blesses us so that we may bless others and to be a light for Him in this sinful world. He is our peace. He is our joy. He is our Life! Without Him, we are nothing but with Him, we can do all things. Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
So remember the Lord. Meditate on Him. Think about His goodness. He loves you with an everlasting love.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Psalm 139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
Matt 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
If you have not received Jesus as your Savior, you can know Him as Savior today. Please click here to read about God's Free Gift of Salvation offered to all. Jesus loves you. He says in Revelation 3:20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
