The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble.
He knows them that trust in Him.
Nahum 1:7
Good Morning Everyone,
Often we feel we are surrounded by problems.
By trouble with people, finances or other issues in our life.
Sometimes the world situations can make us feel insecure
and even fearful. But the core of us... our spirit belongs to Christ.
That core, should never be fearful. For we have a fort built
inside of us. That fort is the stronghold of God, who will not
let us go or forsake us.
Did you know you had a fort? Did you know that even in the
storms of life you have a anchor for your soul? Are you counting
on that, or are you focusing on your problems rather than
the sufficiency of a All Powerful God who loved you so much He
brought His son to earth to die specifically for you, to save you
from your sins?
Who else loves us this much? Who else promises to be with us
24/7 365 days a year? Are we blessed or what? Are we acting blessed?
Are we showing we have faith, or we living in fear?
Its all a choice. It starts every morning when we make a choice
to face the day with courage, and walk in God's strength and promises
or walk in our fear and leave God out of our equation.
I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in You in all things.
2 Corinthians 7:16
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence of faith in Him.
Ephesians 3:12.
We may not have access to political officials, those in charge of things
we participate in. Sometimes we may feel like the low person on the
roster, but with Christ we are first in his thoughts daily. He has plans
for you and He loves you and offers you hope, strength, security, and
promises to Guide you daily. Count on it, rely on it, hope in it, speak
it out loud, and rely on Him. Talk to him all the time. Tell Him how
you feel, and allow Him access to your heart, and life. He will help
you make dramatic changes as He speaks to your spirit about changes
you must make or the way you must go.
For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the LORD,
thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a expected end. Then you
shall call upon me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will hearken to
you. And you shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with
all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
My friends do a reality check today. What are you relying on? What is
your core security? As a Christian, even when the world falls apart around
us, we can cry out to God, and know He has promised to protect us and be
with us, no matter the circumstances. Just Trust,
Love
