Total Trust

Romans 15:13
I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you with much joy and peace while you trust in Him. Then your hope will overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Has there ever been a time in your life where after all was said and done there was no other hope and the only thing you had left was putting your total trust in God? Maybe you are going through that now.

I have come to a point in my life where I have to put my total trust in God. To have the words told to me "there is nothing else I know we can do" was the hardest thing I have ever heard. But it was in through those words I have realized God has been waiting on me to let Him do His work.

Will it be hard to let go and let God? Yes. Will it be easy? No. But it is in this time I need to call on Him even more in prayer and fasting, seeking His face, and placing everything on the alter and having total trust in Him.

The Bible tells us in 1Corinthians 10:13 "The only temptation that has come to you is that which everyone has. But you can trust God, who will not permit you to be tempted more than you can stand. But when you are tempted, He will also give you a way to escape so that you will be able to stand it."

God will give me the strength in facing this season in my life as He will give you in the season that you are going through. We must always remember that we must give Him all the glory and honor for what He already has done and what He will do.

Give God your total trust today and let Him work His miracles when no one else says it can be done.

Dear Lord, I'm giving you my total trust, so work in my life the way you know is best. Amen

The Lost Word

After coming home from church tonight, my mother and I were talking about the service. She quoted a scripture and then I asked were is that found in the bible. She then asked for her bible and that's when we realized that the WORD was LOST aka the Bible.

I began to think, as I sat down to do this weeks devotion, have we lost the word as Christians?

The bible teaches us about faith, hope, and love. It tells us about standing on the promise of God. It even tells us about standing up for what we believe in.

But how many of us have shied away from the truth, Gods word. Are we just trusting on our self to get through rough times? Are we just living day to day instead if standing on His promise.

Have you lost the word? When's the last time you went looking for it? Do you just look for it when you need it and then throw it back out again?

God gave us His word to stand on, and not to let it gather dust or to be lost.

I challenge you to find your word today, read what God has in store for you.

The bible tells us "to hide its word in our hearts. Psalm 119:11"

Lord help use today not to lose Your word. Help us to always keep it close to us. Help us to relay on your word and not on our self.

Realizing the Calling
Exodus 3:11-14

There are many of us out there that have been called to do the will of the Lord. And there have been many of us that have said either no, yes, or even "are you sure God you want me?"

We have tried to talk our self out of the calling that has been placed in front of us by maybe saying " I'm not capable of teaching", "I'm afraid to pray for people", or "I can't lead someone".

We have tried all ways to get around what we have been called to do, but we can't. God has chosen us to a ministry and we must answer the call.

I was asked if I could be a prayer partner. I said to myself, you know you have a hard time praying in front of people, you can't even pray with your own parents for dinner, how are you going to be a prayer partner. Then the answer was given to me while teaching in my 5th grade Sunday school. I begin to pray out loud and the lord blessed me with the words that needed to be said.

See when you stop looking at yourself , stop looking at your past mistakes and failures. When you stop letting fear holding you down and just let go and let God lead you, everything will fall right where God wants you to be.

If God can call a man with a speech problem to face Pharaoh to lead the people out of Egypt, If God can use a small boy with just five rocks to kill a giant, and if God can use a small simple girl to have our Savior and King. Then God can use us.

Dear Lord,
If you can use anything Lord, you can use me. Take my hands Lord and my feet, touch my heart Lord speak through me. If you can use anything Lord, you can use me.
Amen

In Your Name



Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy will be the fullest possible joy.John 16:24


For in your name there is healing.
In your name there is power.
In your name there is a peace of mind.
In your name there is love and kindness.
In your name is everlasting.
In your name is eternal life in you.


This is really all we need to have to face tomorrow. That in his wonderful name we have everything.


All we need is the name Jesus.....


Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, there's just something about that name. Master, Savior, Jesus. Let all heaven and earth proclaim.
Kings and Kingdoms will all pass away.
Oh but there just something about that name.
Amen

God's Will

Have you run ahead of what God has for you? Have you tried to do things on your on and failed?
We all have. We have gotten impatient, gotten tried of waiting and now we are looking back and probably regretting it.

Its hard, believe me, I know. Everyday I fight the same battle of trying to let go and let God. Trying to be still, silent and wait on His timing. Even now, you may be battling the same waiting game..

Waiting on God to bring us that right job. Waiting on God to bring us that right mate. Waiting on God to bring us the healing we need. Or whatever it may be in your own personal life. Yes, it can be a long, hard, and sometimes lonely road. There may even be challenges along the way that we must face. But how wonderful it is to know that in the end, when we put everything in God, and we are patient and let it be in His timing, how it all works out and we can give Him the total praise that he deserves.

"I know the plans I have for you," declare the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Thank you Lord for knowing what is best for us. That even though we may run ahead of You and try to do things on our own, that You are still there to help us and guide us back to the right path and the right plans You have for us. For we know that in You and in your timing all things that You desire for us will come to us who wait in you.
