This morning I feel so overwhelmed and filled with God's loving grace and strength from on high that I just want to shout from the hilltops, "How Great is my God!" My God, Forever Faithful and True, Loving and Caring; bringing these lyrics to mind: "Our God is Greater, Our God is Stronger, God You are higher than other; Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God, Our God; Water You turned into wine, Opened the eyes of the blind; there's no one like You, None like You; Into the darkness You shine, Out of the ashes we rise, There's No one like You, None like You; Our God is greater, Our God is stronger, God You are higher than any other, Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God, Our God; And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us; And if our God is with us, then what can stand against us?"
The words to this precious song keeps rising from the depths of my soul, reminding me of God's declaration in Isaiah 54:17 that "No weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue which rises against you in judgment He shall condemn; this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and your righteousness is from Me, says the Lord!" What devotion He has toward us; How Faithful He is toward us as He walks Hand in hand along side us; Empowering us to be more than overcomers through every trial. Everyone faces uncertainties in life but the one Surety of it all is that He never leaves us nor forsakes us, but is with us forever and ever, through it all!
Today is a new day filled with many challenging opportunities that we can use for God's glory or we can allow them to defeat us by not holding on to God's promises in whatever may come our way. As for me and my household, we have chosen to serve the Lord with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind and so we will declare Proverbs 3:5,6 over today and "trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not unto our own understanding; in all our ways we will acknowledge Him and HE WILL direct our paths." As long as we keep our eyes set on Him, stay focused on His Will for our life, and listen attentively to His voice as He directs our path; we will not be defeated in Jesus' name, as noted in Romans 8:31.
Life is ever changing throughout our day, so we must be alert with the Whole Armor of God as Paul warns the followers in Ephesians 6:10-18(NLT). "A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on All of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore put on Every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere."
It is more important in these latter days that we Stay Alert; in season and out of season. Having put on the FULL ARMOR of GOD, we can guard our family members who may be too weak to stand on their own by praying a hedge of protection around them. We can meet each challenge successfully while declaring His Word which never fails; and when the sun arises, being armed and ready; we are mentally, physically, and Spiritually ready to meet the demands of the day with God on our side.
I pray each of you enjoy a wonderful, victorious, and blessed day; because God loves you and so do I~~~
