As a kid, I always wanted a half dollar. I wasn't quite sure what a half dollar was because I was very little. I liked the fact it was bigger than a quarter. It stood out to me and the words written on it ~ half dollar.
As I get older, I love word "Liberty" and on the front of it "In God We Trust". 1955 is a special year for me, it was the year I was born. Putting these two things together, makes my heart feel so thankful for liberty, trusting in God and my life!
Our lives are supported by money, work, things we value, emotions, real life situations and so much more. But we must rest in God and learn the importance of money as well. Our lives long for more in life, some material things and some a closer walk with God. Learning to trust in God and gather moments that means we value. I value money, but I also value hope in a new day. Allow God freedom to make and mold me on a daily bases.
IN GOD WE TRUST ~
Psalm 91 New International Version (NIV)
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
IN GOD WE TRUST ~
Every time you pick up a one, a nickel, a dime, a quarter or a half dollar ~ read those words. "IN GOD WE TRUST". Realize his power through a coin and his power throughout our lives. He wants the best for us and gives us daily reminders through money and so much more. God is good all the time and all the time, God is good! Hold onto Psalm 91 and know that God will answer you. Verse 14, "because he loves me", says the Lord, I will rescue him: I will protect him, for he acknowledge my name.
There is power in the name of Jesus! Never fear and hold tight to his promises. Promises to love protect and trusting in God. This is a new day filled with great opportunities. My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
