God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Friday 2 December 2011

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 2 December 2011"

Today's Bible Verse: Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."

Wow!!!  What a verse for us in this world that we live in today.  This writing is for all of you who are going through physical and mental pain, financial woes or feeling alone as if God had abandoned you.  Our enemy who "walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8), wants you to feel that way.  Always remembers these words from  Hebrews 13:5 "Let our conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have.  For He Himself has said, "I will never leave nor forsake you."

This verse emphasizes God's commitment to strengthen and help us, His children.  We as Christians need to learn to appreciate difficult days.  We need to be stimulated by the challenges we encounter along life's pathway.  As we journey through rough terrain with God, we will gain confidence from our knowledge of God, and that together with Him, we can handle anything that this sinful world may throw at us.

This knowledge is comprised of three parts: (1) Our relationship with God (2) His promises made in His word and (3) Our past experiences in coping successfully during hard times.  We need to always remember God is always there with us through difficult days and He will give us the strength to withstand and trials or tribulations we may face.  We need but just ask and he is faithful and Just to provide for us what we need.

We need to have faith that Peter had to step out on the walk and start to walk to Jesus, but we need to keep that faith and our eyes upon Jesus so that we do not look around us and start to sink in the troubled waters of life, because of our lack of faith.  Isn't it great to know that even when we start to sink, we can like Peter call out to Jesus to save us and that he will take our hand in His and pull out up and direct our path. (Wow)

If you are tempted to think, "Yes, but that was then and this is now," Remember that God is "The GREAT I AM".  Although our circumstances may change dramatically, God will always remain the same throughout time and eternity.  This is the basis of our confidence.  In God's Presence we live, move and have our being.

What a wonder to realize that the awesome power that God has displayed throughout history is still available to us today.  We know that it is because God our Creator has said, "I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you."  God has a plan and purpose to carry out, and history unfolds according to his grand, eternal design.  How great is our God.  May we daily Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow.

Today's Hymn" Joy To The World"

Joy to the world, The Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing
Joy to the World, the Savior reigns! Let all their songs employ; while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding Joy
No more let sin and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground; He come to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found
He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove, the glories of His righteousness
And the wonders of His love, And the wonders of His love, And the wonders of his love

Heavenly father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, thank you for the strength that You give us each day to walk in accordance to Your ways. May we raise our hands to You in praise and thanksgiving and humbly bow before You in Awe as we come into Your Loving and Gracious Presence.  What a relief it is to know that You, our Abba Father, will never leave nor forsake us, and that You are All Powerful and that nothing is impossible with You.  Thank you Jesus, for being the Resurrection and the Life, and filling us with the Life Giving Water of the Holy Spirit.  May the things that we say and do, always being great glory and honor to Your Name, as we reach out to others for You.

Today's Biblical Truth: "The Lord is eternal, not only that He is not bound by time, but also in that He is Master of Time."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.Love God More Today.  Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Pray also God's Blessings on the Nation of Israel.  Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
