Never Trusted in Vain
No one ever trusted God in vain...He helps all those who come to Him in faith.

Amidst the Strife of Nations....
He who slumbers not, who in every crisis has
been the strength and dependence of His people, will carry out His eternal
purpose. He will halt the designs of
wicked men, and will bring to confusion the counsels of those who plot mischief
against His people.
He
who is the King, the Lord of hosts…amidst the strife and tumult of nations
guards His children still. When the
strongholds of kings shall be overthrown, when the arrows of wrath shall strike
through the hearts of His enemies, God’s people will be safe in His hands. By Ellen G White

What To Do Right Now
God loves you so much. He gave His life to save you from eternal death.
He longs for you to be happy now and in your eternal Home in Heaven when He comes to take you back Home with Him.
Give your life to Him. Don’t say no to Jesus!
Life has many problems. Turn away from these sorrows and turn to God, now and always.

He could not give anything less
When God gave His Son, Jesus, to die for humanity's sins, He could not have given anything greater - and He could not have given anything less.

The Throb that Vibrates to the Father's Heart
Jesus assures His disciples of God’s sympathy for them in their needs and weaknesses.
Not a sigh is breathed, not a pain felt, not a grief pierces the soul, but the throb vibrates to the Father’s heart. Desire of Ages, 356, E G White

What does God Hate?
Just finished reading "Gods Lamb, our High Priest" by Loren Seibold in Signs of the Times November 2015 magazine. A caption on page 41 caught my attention:
"it's because God loves humanity so much - that He hates the damage sin has
done to us, the creatures created in His image."
This quote blew me away! Thank you Loren for this insight!

Those who Hate God
The Lord delights in mercy; and for the sake of a few who really serve Him, He restrains calamities and prolongs the tranquility of multitudes. Little do [those who hate God] realize that they are indebted for their own lives to the faithful few whom they delight to ridicule and oppress.

Ashley Madison - Forgiveness
Compassion for those who have been exposed by the Ashley Madison hack has been in short supply. There has been a lot of "they got what they deserved," even though the innocent spouses, children and family members deserved nothing of the sort.
But the truth is, we all have secrets! How would you feel if your most personal details were exposed? What if your deeply-held secrets were published on a searchable database? Yet as uncomfortable as that sounds, the Bible is clear that one day the private secrets of all people who have ever lived are going to be revealed.
The Bible says, "Fear God and give Him glory, for the hour of His judgment is come." Revelation 14:7. And Daniel 7:10 states, "...the judgment was set, and the books were open."
The Books of Record that contain the deeds and misdeeds of every person (good or evil) will one day be opened. As Solomon wrote in Holy Scripture, "God will bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good, or whether it be evil." Ecclesiastes 12:14.
While many are trying to figure out how to handle the damage caused to their reputations, God offers every person a simple remedy. Acts 3:19 states, "Repent and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the Lord."
In the judgment that precedes Jesus' return, the sins of those who have faith in God will be blotted out. When the Books are opened, their pages are clear rather than stained by sin. In place of sin is purity and righteousness. The grace that forgives is the grace that cleanses, and in the judgment the redeemed are found to be white as snow (Isaiah 1:18).
The woman taken in adultery repented for her sin and heard Jesus say, "neither do I condemn you" John 8:11
Repentance opens the door to the cleansing power of God. Grace does not justify sinful behavior, but it does justify the sinner.
God sees the hearts of all, and He does so without condemnation. King David wrote that God "knows our frame, He remembers that we are only dust" Psalm 103:14, and God loves us anyway.
Holy Scripture promises that "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 1 John 1:9.
We all have secrets. What shouldn't be a secret is that God is able to cleanse and heal, remake, restore, forgive. The reality of the judgment isn't only that sinners will be judged, but that sinners - when they repent - are forgiven! God offers that hope to all sinners everywhere.

Open the Windows of the Soul
God is inviting us to close the windows of the soul earthward and open them Heavenward, that He may flood our hearts with the glory, which is shining across the threshold of Heaven.

Constant, Perfect Peace
There will be peace, constant peace, flowing into the soul, for the rest is found in perfect submission to Jesus Christ. Obedience to God’s will finds rest. The disciple that walks in the meek and [humble] steps of the Redeemer finds rest, which the world cannot give, and the world cannot take away. ‘Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.’
[Gentleness & humbleness], which ever characterized the life of the divine Son of God, possessed by His true followers, brings contentment, peace, and happiness that elevate them above the slavery of artificial life.

Listen to the Lord!
"I will hear what God the Lord will speak...."
Psalms 85:8 [KJV]
I fully believe the Lord can and will impress people; if He does not then why does the Bible say to "test the spirits, whether they are from God" (See 1 John 4:1).
At work I was strongly impressed by God to leave my office desk and go to the other side of the room, I thought, "How strange!" When reaching the opposite wall a large ceiling fixture fell down where I had been sitting, breaking my chair and smashing the window next to my desk. It pays to listen to God!
*****
Andy was lying under the car doing engine work with the motor running. While moving a linkage an audible voice called out, "Don't touch!" Getting out from under the car he looked to see who was standing next to him. There was no one. Crawling back under the car he moved the linkage again when the voice called out, “Don’t touch!” Andy did a double take of what he was doing; he was moving the gearshift linkage to the reverse position. Since the engine was running another move on the linkage would have caused the car to run over Andy’s chest!

What God Has Done
The plan of salvation originated with God.
Salvation was purchased through the death of Jesus.
Forgiveness is secured through the blood of Jesus.
Power for holy living is granted through the Holy Spirit.
In other words, everything concerning the plan of salvation is provided for us.
Those who accept what God has done and follow His leading will be led to freedom.

The Answer by Deb M
There will come an Answer, though the time is unknown.
It is God’s only Answer, He will send His Own.
It is God's perfect Answer for all humanity;
He brings peace, joy and freedom, love and dignity.
Men have their own answers, but strange as it seems,
They say war is the answer for all men's sufferings.
But I know God has the Answer to hate, bloodshed and war;
For Christ is the Answer the world needs nothing more.
Soon Christ will come,
And will end this world of strife
Christ, [pause]
