Problem Solver

During my lifetime, I've been in trouble with my parents for different things. I've found that trusting in God, and relying on Him, that He helped me immensely and smoothed out the trouble.

All I'm saying is this: let the All-Powerful God handle your difficulties; He knows what He's doing!

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you. Psalm 55:22.

God says, I'll never leave you, nor forsake you. Hebrews 13:5

Accept this assurance of God's presence and watch-care.

Those who trust in God will be kept in perfect peace. Isaiah 26:3

Go with God, trusting Him.

Happiness is like Medicine


A happy heart does good like a medicine, but a broken heart dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22

The mind has influence over the body. Happiness is conducive to life and health; but sorrow, worries, and anxiety lead to disease and death.

Forgiveness - Radiant Faces

Those who look to God are radiant, their faces are never covered with shame. Psalm 34:5 NIV

God will forgive us totally when we ask forgiveness of our sins.

So there is no need to chastise yourself for past sins that are repented of. Those sins are forgiven and forgotten by God. So, forgive yourself too - God already has!

Our Friend in Trials and Sufferings

Sometimes, we are called to pass through periods of trial and hardship.  Our future seems hedged with difficulties.  Our faith and loyalty are tested to the limit.  But NEVER does God desert us.  He awaits the right moment to come to our rescue.

 Maybe you are troubled, perplexed, and afraid; it may be because you have forgotten that you have Jesus for a Friend.   Jesus is “a very present help in trouble” Psalm 46:1.  Take Jesus at His word and go boldly and with confidence and tell Jesus all that is on your heart.

Silence of the Soul


When every other voice is hushed, and in quietness we wait before Him, the silence of the soul makes more distinct the voice of God.  He bids us, “Be still, and know that I Am God.” ( Psalm 46:10).

HEALTH

Dear friend, I pray above all else that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. The Lord says, "My child, listen to My Words and keep them ever in mind. Allow them to penetrate into your entire being, for they mean real life and radiant health for you.

Do not be conceited, sure of your own wisdom. Instead, trust and reverence God and turn your back on evil. When you do that, then you will be given renewed health and vitality. For I will restore your health and heal your wounds.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases.

The above quotes are taken from these Bible texts:
3 John 2/ Proverbs 4:20-22; 3:7-8/ Jeremiah 30:17/ Psalm 103:2-3.

Stop being Angry!

Commit everything you do to God, Trust Him and He will help you!

Be still in the presence of God, and wait patiently for Him to act.

Do not worry about evil people who prosper, or fret about their wicked schemes.

Stop being angry - turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper, it only leads to harm.

For the wicked will be destroyed, but God's people will possess the earth made new.

The above lines are from Psalm 37:5,7-9


Be still, and know that I Am God. Psalm 46:10

God Rescues Every Time

God hears His people when they call to Him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

The righteous face many troubles, but God rescues them every time.

Psalm 34:17-19

Those who hate the Righteous...

Calamity will surely overtake the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

But the Lord will redeem those who serve Him - Everyone who takes refuge in God will be saved.

Psalm 34:21-22

Who will Go to Heaven?

Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter your presence on your Holy Hill?

Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts.

  Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends

 Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the Lord

 those who keep their promises even when it is inconvenient.

 Those who lend money without interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent.

Such people will go to Heaven!

Psalms chapter 15, verses 1-5

Psalm 91 - Thoughts - Safety

Those who live in the shelter of God's power will say, "God is my fortress and refuge, in God we trust."

God will protect you from the terrorists' snare, and from deadly disease. You will not fear the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day; nor for the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the plague. A thousand will fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you!

If you make God your refuge then no harm will happen to you. For God will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

God says, "Because they love Me, I will rescue them and protect them, for they acknowledge Me. I will be with them in trouble, and deliver them and honor them."

Based on Psalm 91- Found in the Old Testament of the Holy Scriptures

Mercy & Truth Kiss

[In God] mercy and truth meet, righteousness and peace kiss each other.

 God's wisdom is first pure, then peace loving, gentle and courteous, open to reason, full of mercy and good works, impartial and without hypocrisy. God is merciful and gracious, slow to become angry and abounding in continual love and faithfulness.

O Lord God, there is no god like you anywhere! For You keep Your promises and show love and mercy to your servants who love and follow You with all their hearts. And mercy surrounds all those who trust You.

Understand this, that the Lord God is God! He is a merciful God, keeping His covenant of Love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His Laws. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth to those who keep His covenant and Law.

Jesus said, "Woe to you...for you have neglected the importance of the Law, which is: justice, mercy and faith. Go and learn what this means. `I desire mercy and not sacrifice' [Hosea 6:6]. For I did not come to call the [self] righteous to repentance, but the [repentant] sinners."

God has told you what He wants from you, and this is it: to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly in His Law.

 Return to God. Hold on to His mercy and justice. And wait for Him to come again. Keep yourselves in God's Love as you wait for Our Lord Jesus Christ to come again in mercy and to bring you eternal life.

Psalm 78 Excerpts

Verse 13 – God divided the sea and caused them to pass through; and He made the waters stand up like a heap.
V 14 – In the daytime God led them with the cloud, and all night with a light of fire.
V 15 – He split the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them water in abundance like the depths.
V 16 – God brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
V 17 – But they sinned more against God by rebelling against Him in the wilderness.

 [God gave them life-saving gifts and they hated Him!]

V 21 – Therefore God heard this and was furious.
V 22 – Because they did not believe in Him, and did not trust in His salvation.
V 32 – In spite of this they still sinned, and did not believe in His wondrous works.
V 38 – But God, being full of compassion, forgave their sin, and did not destroy them. Yes, many a time God turned His anger away and did not stir up all His wrath.
V 39 – For He remembered that they were only dust.
V 41 – Yes, again and again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
V 56 – Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God, and did not keep His commandments.

Thanksgiving

I bless the Holy God with all my heart. Yes, I will bless the Lord, and not forget the glorious things He does for me.

He forgives all my sins. He heals me! He ransoms me from death. He surrounds me with loving-kindness and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like a strong eagle! He gives justice to all who are treated unfairly.

He is merciful and tender towards those who don't deserve it. He is slow to get angry and full of kindness and love. He never holds a grudge nor remains angry forever. He has not punished us as we deserve for all our sins, for His mercy towards those who fear and honor Him is as great as the heaven’s heights above the earth. He has removed our sins as far away from us as the east is from the west. He is like a Father to us, tender and sympathetic to those who reverence Him.

But the loving-kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting to those who love and reverence Him. His salvation is to...those who are faithful to His Commandments and remember to obey Him.

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to God till my dying breath. May He be pleased by all these thoughts about Him, for He is the Source of all my joy!

The above quotes are taken from these Bible texts: Psalm 103:1-22; 104:1, 2, 24, 33, 34.
