4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
I KNOW YOU JESUS ~
I still remember the first day I met you.
Asking Jesus to come into my heart was such an amazing day. I was younger and it began to a journey of learning, growing and developing his character over time. I've made mistakes and I've been angry. I lost friendships and I've gain friendships. I see the path God has chosen for me and I'm on it now. There were times of going the wrong way, fear gripped my heart and Jesus came to my rescue. Each of us have made mistakes in life and some press forward, but some stop. I've had a mixture of both and now I realize it isn't an option to stop. God is faithful and my choices were my choices. I can't go back, but I certainly can go forward.
Life is too short not to give thanks daily for things we do have in life. God answers prayers and things change for a reason. We must believe that God is in control and nothing can change that. Believing big and holding onto our dreams. I believe says to taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Wow, I trust the Lord with all my heart. I hope you do too!
God has this way of taking care of us. Sometimes you might feel alone, but you are never really alone. God's word continues to be true and I love that. I have learned to lean upon God and not to my own understanding on things. God is certainly good all the time.
Psalm 119:11-16 New International Version (NIV)
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
12 Praise be to you, Lord;
teach me your decrees.
13 With my lips I recount
all the laws that come from your mouth.
14 I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches.
15 I meditate on your precepts
and consider your ways.
16 I delight in your decrees;
I will not neglect your word.
HIDE THE WORD IN YOUR HEART ~
So you won't sin against the Lord
As this new day begins, go ahead and trust God with all you heart. My prayers continue for you, your family and friends. Down the road of life, you will see that seasons change and change can be good, but hard. Don't focus on the hard, but take the deep breathe to press forward. I go your back in prayer! For those who are in an excellent place of life, pray for your family and friends. Pray for the people connected to this blog and lets hold on for one another. After all, God has connected our lives for purpose. Have a bless day!
