</div><br></div><div>We often do not know our own thoughts, nor know our own mind, but God is never at any uncertainty within Himself. We are sometimes ready to fear that God's designs concerning us are all against us but He knows the contrary concerning His own people, that they are thoughts of good and not of evil even that which seems evil is designed for good. His thoughts are all working towards the expected end, which He will give in due time. The end they expect will come, though perhaps not when they expect it. Let them have patience till the fruit is ripe, and then they shall have it. He will give them an end, and expectation, so it is in the original. </div><div><br></div><div>He will give them to see the end (the comfortable termination) of their trouble though it last long, it shall not last always. The time to favour Zion, yea, the set time, will come. When things are at the worst they will begin to mend and He will give them to see the glorious perfection of their deliverance for, as for God, His work is perfect. He that in the beginning finished the heavens and the earth, and all the hosts of both, will finish all the blessings of both to His people. When He begins in ways of mercy He will make an end. God does nothing by halves. </div><div><br></div><div>He will give them to see the expectation, that end which they desire and hope for, and have been long waiting for. He will give them, not the expectations of their fears, nor the expectations of their fancies, but the expectations of their faith, the end which He has promised and which will turn for the best to them.</div><div><br></div><div>from Matthew Henry Bible Commentary</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div>** Michelle **http://www.blogger.com/profile/08845644887232469006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568761692557315232.post-60332487442405585552023-12-05T00:11:00.003-06:002023-12-05T00:37:58.969-06:00In Due Time <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br></div><div><div>You can't get from where you are to where you want to be unless you go through a door. Open doors give you access to something. Shut doors means you don’t have access. The Lord is your doorkeeper. He opens doors and He shuts doors.</div><div><br></div><div><i>This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Philadelphia: I am the one who is holy and true, and I have the keys that belonged to David.

Our responsibility is to trust that God will provide the strength to hold on. Stand firm in Christ and live fully for Him, trusting in His perfect will despite any present difficulties. </div><div><br></div><div>Waiting on God forces us to look to Him, get to know Him more and rely on Him more. We can trust the Spirit to give us the strength to bear our circumstances and enable us to use the time of waiting to grow in our intimacy with the Lord.</div><div><br></div><div><i>But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] will gain new strength and renew their power; they will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired. Isaiah 40:31</i></div><div><br></div><div>It's our choice whether to trust Him or not. And relax. More often than not, you're gonna have to wait for a season for what you're believing for 😉.</div><div><br></div><div><i>Father, give us grace to 'wait right'. To hear Your voice.

</div><br></div><div><br></div><div>God's timetable may differ from ours. We tend to want an immediate answer to our prayers, but the Lord is never in a rush. He may not answer us immediately, but He has promised to answer, "in time of need". </div><div><br></div><div><i>Hebrews 4:14-16 - Inasmuch then as we [believers] have a great High Priest who has [already ascended and] passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith and cling tenaciously to our absolute trust in Him as Savior]. For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin. Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].</i> </div><div><br></div><div>Waiting on the Lord draws us close to Him and teaches us to be patient.</div><div><br></div><div><i>Isaiah 40:31 - But those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired. </i></div><div><br></div><div>We need to have strength and bravery, grounded in our trust of God. We need to be strong and courageous in the power of the Lord.</div><div><br></div><div><i>Ephesians 6:10 - Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. </i></div><div><br></div><div>The Christian life is not easy. There are many adversaries, trials, and temptations.</div><div><br></div><div><i>John 16:33 - I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world and deprived it of its power to harm you. </i></div><div><br></div><div><i>Prayer: Father, give us grace in the waiting. Help us to do what honors You most. As we submit ourselves to You, live Your life through us. In Jesus' name, amen</i>🙏. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>** Michelle **http://www.blogger.com/profile/08845644887232469006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568761692557315232.post-48799490117234211322023-09-14T17:06:00.002-05:002023-09-14T17:07:46.426-05:00Let Go of the Old You <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND HARDEN YOU TO DIFFICULTIES, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice. Behold, all they who are enraged and inflamed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; they who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. You shall seek those who contend with you but shall not find them; they who war against you shall be as nothing, as nothing at all. For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; I am the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you! Fear not, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel! I will help you, says the Lord; your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. Behold, I will make you to be a new, sharp, threshing instrument which has teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and shall make the hills like chaff. You shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the tempest or whirlwind shall scatter them. And you shall rejoice in the Lord, you shall glory in the Holy One of Israel. The poor and needy are seeking water when there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the wild olive; I will set the cypress in the desert, the plane [tree] and the pine [tree] together, that men may see and know and consider and understand together that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it.</span></i></div><div><br /></div><div>I realize that as God’s children, we aren't necessarily here to experience lavishly comfortable lives. In fact, we’re called to lay down our lives. And part of that means going through some hard, uncomfortable times. But it’s not because God is cruel.

He steals and kills and destroys, and our earth is shaking with those who have been wounded and don’t know the One who can strengthen them and hold them up.</div><div><br /></div><div>But we do.</div><div><br /></div><div>Because when we go through our hard times, keeping our eyes on Jesus, knowing that God Himself girds and strengthens us, not only are we living proof of the Hope within us, but because of what we’ve endured, we can authentically pray, reach out, understand, and point others toward the One who awaits with outstretched arms. </div><div><br /></div><div><i><span style="color: #b4a7d6;">Joshua 1:12-15 Then Joshua addressed the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: lime;">This is the first Mother’s Day I will face without my mom. It will be different to say the least.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">For those of you who knew my mom, you know that she was a prayer warrior and a peace maker. Though she struggled tremendously with her health in her latter years, she </span><span style="color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">VERY RARELY</span><span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> ever complained. She suffered in silence for the most part, because she wanted to stand in faith believing for her healing and didn’t want others to hurt knowing she was hurting.</span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">She was in the hospital last Mother’s Day and past away about 3 weeks later (due in part to Cirrhosis of the Liver). And as Mother’s Day approached this year, I found myself thinking, ‘How in the world did she endure all of that suffering? How in the world did she find the faith and hope to continue, when so many ailments seemed to plague her physical body?’ Well, if ever there was an example of someone looking to Jesus instead of focusing on themselves or their problems, it was </span><span style="color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">CERTAINLY</span><span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> my mama. She found hope in Jesus and her </span><span style="color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">DAILY</span><span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> belief in the verse she quoted every day to help keep her from depression and keep that faith and hope alive.</span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; white-space: pre-wrap;">Psalm 118:24 - This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.</span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yep, that’s it. That’s what it was all about for mom. Her motto to live by. Her confession of hope. And if you spent any length of time around her, you would hear her quote it and sometimes sing it.</span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">You know, </span><span style="color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">TRUE JOY IS NEVER DEPENDENT ON OUR CIRCUMSTANCES</span><span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">. And though we may know this in our head, it might be hard to walk out every day. Learning to choose joy in hard times takes effort and action on our part; it requires our hearts to be set on Jesus. God is faithful to help us, so that we can choose well. And we can be assured that in His grace, He has made every day, and for that gift itself we can ‘rejoice and be glad in it.’ No matter what we face, we can still believe in God’s goodness and love, for that’s what carries us through the most difficult of seasons.</span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">We might be facing the toughest of times right now, but the truth is this, Jesus has </span><span style="color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">STILL</span><span style="color: lime; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> given us breath for today. He came to give us hope and freedom. He’s the very reason we can live with joy right in the midst of battles and have peace that is unexplainable to the world. He’s with us and will never leave us or fail us. His love covers us. He gives us the strength to face every trial and obstacle with courage and grace. We can rest in the security that He brings.

You are the best Father/Mother that anyone could ever have. Thank You that even if our father and mother abandons us, You will take us up and adopt us as Your own (Psalm 27:10). Help all to have a good day, though some are consumed with grief. May all find joy in Your presence (Psalm 16). May everyone get along. GIve grace to all the hard-working mothers out there.
