On OUR Side!

What a comfort knowing God is on our side!!!!!

Romans 31-39:
So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture.

Joy In The Morning!

Our Joy is coming........Morning brings us joy in our God's new creation. Be full of his Spirit and may His joy keep you smiling in the new day.

Psalm 30:4-6

4 Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; praise his holy name.

⁵ For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.

⁶ When I felt secure, I said,
"I will never be shaken."

FOLD THE OLD COATS AWAY!

The old will become new. We will work on the change and fold the old coats away...
Our God will put our enemies aside so that we may move forward with the change that is needed.
Stand up! Take hold of the changes at hand!

Hebrews 1:1-13

^10-12And again to the Son,
You, Master, started it all, laid earth's foundations,
then crafted the stars in the sky.
Earth and sky will wear out, but not you;
they become threadbare like an old coat;
You'll fold them up like a worn-out cloak,
and lay them away on the shelf.
But you'll stay the same, year after year;
you'll never fade, you'll never wear out.
¹³And did he ever say anything like this to an angel?
Sit alongside me here on my throne
Until I make your enemies a stool for your feet.

The Sun Is Coming!

Since I'm not attending my church right now on Sunday mornings, I have been reading positive, spiritual books and also watching either Joyce Meyer or Joel Osteen on tv. Why am I not attending my local church? Well, I have my 'church' with Raye on Sunday mornings because that is the ONLY visitation time our District Attorney and the 'system' set up for us.
I was watching Joyce Meyer this evening, and this verse she read and shared just jumped out to me!

Isaiah 61:7

⁷ Instead of being put to shame
my people will receive a double share of wealth.
Instead of being dishonored
they will be glad to be in their land.
They will receive a double share of riches there.
And they'll be filled with joy that will last forever.

Our God is telling us that our rewards will be not only in heaven, but HERE, NOW! In our land! What a blessing! We are His children and He WILL take care of us. Our faith is strong.....He will never fail us.

Mark 12:36(New International Version)

36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared:
"The Lord said to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
under your feet."

Raye shared this verse Monday, Memorial Day with me. So fitting.... Her faith is strong...

WE WILL STAND!!!

A thought....
There are those out there that know right from wrong, truth and untruth, justice and injustice. So when you see something that isn't right, do you do something about it? Do you put what tells your heart into action to change it? It's hard to step up and do the right thing. Why don't more of us step up?? Maybe because we feel ALONE in our quest. Fear grips our actions and defuses our logic to justify the 'wrong'. Our heart tells us differently, but our mind wins over it. Perhaps if we knew we weren't alone in changing the wrong to right, then we would stand and not just sit on our hands and do nothing.
The reason I'm discussing this is because I know many things can change if we choose to stand TOGETHER for the Truth. We stand up for our Faith, our Family, our Country......let's stand together to fight for Truth; Raye's Truth.

WHO IS WITH ME??

Psalm 94:16 (New International Version)

¹⁶ Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

"Down In The River To Pray"

I have been reading "The Secret" and want to share a thought of what I read today....

Close your eyes....see a big flowing river, moving slowly but with a power of currents. It's going in a direction..only one direction as nature sees fit. Imagine yourself in this river, swimming and trying to go a better way, or even in the same direction as the currents. It's a struggle, you get tired. Now just lay back, relax and float. Look up to the sky...let the current take you where you are suppose to go. Don't fight it, nature will direct you in the right way. Don't fight the direction you are suppose to go. Just let it happen, and you will find where you are suppose to be and what you are suppose to be doing.
God directs us, but we have to 'float' with Him to be where we are suppose to be. He will give us the desires of our heart, but we have to 'let it go' and know He is in control.

John 7:38 (Contemporary English Version)

³⁸Have faith in me, and you will have life-giving water flowing from deep inside you, just as the Scriptures say."
