Presence of Promise

 

“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Deuteronomy 31:8

THE PRESENCE OF HIS PROMISE 

His promise to be with us is solid

His promise is more dependable than rocks of old

Even mountains can be blasted into rubble 

Yet, there is nothing … absolutely nothing… that can cause one of the LORD’ promises to fail.

Therefore, we can celebrate before we see it

We have assurance as soon as He speaks it

It will come to pass 

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.

II Corinthians 2:14

MORE

Greetings Friends!

I have not written here in some time –

It has been quite a first half of the year. And here we are almost to the end of July.

There has been much on mind – great periods of reflection

 

I am studying the book of Nehemiah and, like him, there is a quest to rebuild the walls

Only it is not the walls of Jerusalem laying in ruin –

No – these are a completely different set of walls, entirely

But – that subject is not why I am taking a break from my hiatus and opting to write today

When I woke up this morning – before my eyes were fully opened – the first word I heard was:

 

MORE

It was almost as if it was a promise, a command, and a challenge – all at once

What More? Whose More?

The MORE of the people of God –

More FAITH

More TRUST

More SEARCHING

More YEARNING

More LEARNING

 

The MORE of the God of the people – given freely to His people

More JOY

More WISDOM

More DISCERNMENT

More PEACE

More POWER

More FAVOR

More PROVISION

 

Whether it is our MORE toward the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY,

Or His MORE graciously bestowed upon His children

THERE IS MORE … SO MUCH MORE … EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY MORE!

 

‘Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen!’  Ephesians 3:20-21

 

Have a Blessed and Restful Evening

WSR REPORT: CAST THOSE CARES

Hello Friends …

I pray all is going well for you this Saturday afternoon

Today has been a beautiful day –

The temperature has been perfect,

And I have had this overwhelming feeling of calmness all day

There is a song I have been listening to all week –

The song is ‘Always Faithful’ by Bethel

This song has been resonating somewhere deep inside

The song talks about how:

‘I sought the LORD and heard me,

‘I sought the LORD and heard my cry,

‘I sought the LORD and He heard my cry, and He answered me’

I cry every time I hear it …

I keep reflecting on His goodness … how good He has been to me

His goodness is nothing new … neither is my thankfulness for it

However, there are times when you are so much more aware –

It is like all your senses are turned up to a thousand

‘Cast all your cares on Him for He cares for you’ I Peter 5:7

This verse –

It has taken on an entirely next-level degree of significance in my life,

Especially during this season of my life

This is probably one of the shorter posts that I’ll write

                I tend to be a bit long-winded …

I just want to encourage you this evening –

Cast those cares on Him – it’s all about trust

His shoulders are broad enough

He has no rival, He has no equal …

He has inscribed you on the palms of His hands

He cannot forget you … He will not fail you!

There is NO ONE like the LORD God Almighty!

There truly is no place you can go where He will not meet you

There is no place you can go where He will not chase after you

He’s faithful!

I pray you will have a peace-filled evening …

God Bless & Stay Safe
