Good day to you dear readers of FGGAM! It is an honor and privilege in Christ Jesus to be joining you again Today. Yesterday, when I took this picture of our pond, I went there looking for assurance; or perhaps an escape.
Do you ever feel so concerned for others, and also realize that you are completely helpless to deliver them? Although in Christ, we do have a Helper to guide us in our every good deed; Indeed, only God can do what is on our heart. And, love is only on our heart because of God. And God is love!
So we can rest in Christ’s Love for us; and for all whom God has given to Jesus! My husband, Robert, once said, “The difficult things are easier to do, but the impossibles take a little longer!” Patience is a good word; and I heard the Lord still my heart yesterday; “Be still and know that I am God.” “Look at what I have done for you!” And I took this picture; as Today I share this devotion with you!
Because of God’s help, I will!
As I poured my last cup of coffee this morning, I noticed on our refrigerator these words, “Because of God’s help, I will! Excellent Day! Excellent Way! I pray this is a blessing to you. Comfort, Grace and Peace be with you; and also with me. Love, Karen
Today’s Devotion, by Karen Rowe / Hope in Today Ministries:
God knows we need encouragement!
In the worldly events we see & feel the pains of all the evil we see, hear & notice that is going on all around us in this world, God knew we would need reminded to keep focused on the promises of God.
There is an awareness of evil that is the very Dichotomy of the Life Jesus died & Rose again to give us.
Increase your awareness beyond confusion, BUT rememeber Who is Greater, BUT God! Don’t close the chapter book, before you give God glory for the Beginning & the end.
I don’t have it figured out; BUT God does…FOLLOW JESUS.
I pray this devotion today stirs up the Holy Spirit who lives in you as a helper & comforter in these difficult times. And, if you have never known Christ like this, I pray you talk to God or someone you know and trust in the Lord Jesus to guide you in a prayer that simply confesses Jesus as your Savior and Lord of your heart.
The Word of God:
“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord , and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord ; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. AND HE shall bring forth thy righteousness as the LIGHT, and thy judgment as the noonday. REST in the Lord , AND wait PATIENTLY for him: FRET NOT thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. CEASE FROM anger, AND FORSAKE WRATH: fret not thyself IN ANY WISE TO DO eVil. For evildoers shall be cut off: BUT those THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt DILIGENTLY CONSIDER his place, and it shall not be. BUT the MEEK shall inherit the earth; and shall DELIGHT themselves IN the ABUNDANCE of peace. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken (Psalms 37:1-15 KJV).”
May I encourage you to get the Bible App and turn up the volume to more than read, but hear the Word of God read to you!
“The Lord will put a new song in your mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Lord my God, you have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told (emphasis mine Psalm 40:3, 4, 5 KJV, ESV).”
In the Presence of God through the Holy Spirit and in Jesus Name, there is power and aurthority over all things! “Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name, (Psalm 100:4, KJV).”
I pray this is a blessing to you.
Love in Christ,
Karen
Till next time! “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
The address in the Bible is found in 2 Corinthians 1:2, and this is the NIV today.
