Note: I am hoping to pick up The Daily again. It may not be every single day, however, I will definitely contribute more often! I have been on an emotional roller coaster lately, and a couple weeks ago, God gave me this Scripture. I read it and thought, wow, and then forgot about it. Then, yesterday, I fell apart early on and by the end of the day had been overwhelmed with hurt and felt like throwing in the towel... But, then... God reminded me that He is HERE! O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! From the ends of the earth, I cry to You for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for You are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in Your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of Your wings! - Psalm 61:1-4 He IS our safe refuge. He DOES hear us. We ARE safe beneath the shelter of His wings. Yes, I will face trials and troubles in this life, and yes, I may feel overwhelmed at times. However, I know … [Read more...]
The Daily – No One…
The Word of God is filled with hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered. I find my time with the Lord an adventure these days. It is like some great expedition to find new worlds--only, I am seeking comfort, answers and aid for my daily life. I am thrilled to tell you that my God has yet to let me down in my search. Honestly, I do not think that we can ever be disappointed with anything God gives us. Anyway, as I dove into His Word today, I found this priceless gem... From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of My hand. No one can undo what I have done. - Isaiah 43:13 (NLT) My heart skipped a beat as I read these words. It came alive in my heart as I realized that during my trip to self pity land--never once did the Lord let go of His loving grip on me. Not once. No one--not even our own flaws, doubts, and failures can snatch us out of the Loving hands of our Mighty God. NO ONE! NO ONE can undo the work He has done and begun in us. No one! Not … [Read more...]
The Daily – Crushed
I was trying to pin point what I have been feeling lately, and then I came upon a Scripture that defined my feelings so clearly. I am always amazed at how I find peace, hope and guidance in God's Word. I am so happy that I do not have to be without the Lord. I am so blessed to be one of His daughters! :) I find much comfort in the Psalms. David poured his heart out to God passage after passage. He hid nothing from God and had so much inner pain, doubts, turmoil and fears. He seemed to always be just out of reach of what he sought after... David was much like me... The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed. The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. - Psalm 34:18-19 (NLT) Crushed is what my spirit is. After looking up Hebrew and dictionary meanings for crushed in this text, and finding; break, break in pieces, crush, bruise, destroy, contrite, smite, oppress, beat to pieces--I am certain … [Read more...]
