When life begins to happen and in which case it does…circumstances and situations arise…obstacles begin to form, health begins to fail…finances become a mess..and life in general begins to happen as I said…I pray and my prayer is that we all do what we know to do…in other words when life doesn’t make sense..and things aren’t going our way in life…and we don’t have answers for the questions or the reason behind any of the things that are taking place..I pray we do what we know to do..and what is that?..what would that be for us to do when life as I said begins happening in the way that we don’t think it should be happening…what is that we do?…Well, we go and rejoice and we pray for the word of God says that we are to pray continually..for that is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning each of us..1 Thessalonians 5:16-18….for you see God is the one in whom we run to and go to when all of these situations and circumstances begin to happen and take place in our lives…when things begin to get a little out of control…we seek out the Lord and His face…for God has the answers to all of the problems that we ever will face or ever have to face or ever have to go through in all of our lives…for the word of God says that the Lord knows everything that we will ever face..for nothing ever happens to us that God doesn’t know about..Isaiah 46:10…so understand that the word of God is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our pathways..Psalm 119:105..and that God will answer, and God will direct and fix everything that the enemy would ever try to throw our ways to get us distracted and or discouraged in our lives…for God has made each of us wiser than the enemy..Psalm 119:98…and the bible says that with every temptation the Lord has provided a way of escape..1 Corinthians 10:13…so no problem is to big for God..God is able to do anything in any of our lives..for it says that nothing is impossible for the Lord..with man the bible says it is impossible but with God all things are possible to them that believe..Matthew 19:26..so we walk and live our lives guys knowing who we are in Christ..and knowing that our Father can do anything, anytime and anywhere that He alone chooses for He is God..and He is able to do far above anything that any of us could ever ask of think..Ephesians 3:20..so we don’t let self get in the way when things begin to happen…for the word says that if we walk in the spirit we would not mind the things of the flesh…Galatians 5:16..and when we know that we know who God is and that God is for us…Romans 8:31..and that He is always on time..and that He is always working all things together for our good…Romans 8:28..then we will remain in peace…and joy..for the joy of the Lord is our strength..Nehemiah 8:10…and God has us all in palm of His hands…Isaiah 49:16..for one of my favorite scriptures in the word of God is this..”Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord….Romans 8:35-39…so know that all is well…even when we look around and all seems lost and all seems to be grumbling down around us, we have to know that God is in control…and that He will take care of it all…so we stay positive..and we stay encouraged…for the Lords eyes are all over us and our lives and He knows every need and every prayer that we’ve ever prayed..and He will answer us…but we have to remember that the Lords timing is not ours, nor are His ways like ours…for the bible says that Gods thoughts and Gods ways are much higher than ours..Isaiah 55:9…so we rest and we wait on Jesus..for He knows whats best for us all…and we know that the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord..Psalm 37:23..and wherever any of us are is the place that the Lord would have for us to be…so we are content and we should always be content in all things…for godliness with contentment is of a great gain..1 Timothy 6:6…so let us be encouraged today…that Jesus loves us and that Jesus is for us and not ever against us…so let us stay steadfast, unmovable and always let each us be abounding in the work of the Lord..1 Corinthians 15:58..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
