Life is and will happen guys for each of us and daily it does so..and things take place and happen that none of us are actually prepared for at times in our lives..but we have to know and we have to always remember where our help comes from…I love the scripture in the word of God that says I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help for me help comes from the Lord the Maker of heaven and earth..Psalm 121:1…so we in everything we keep our focus and our attention on the Lord..and we keep it there at all times..we don’t get distracted by the distractions..we don’t get weary or grow weary in our well doing..Galatians 6:9..and we don’t focus our attention on the winds and the waves of life as they may be blowing and raging all around us..but we as I said keep our eyes on the Lord Jesus..we don’t ever take them off from Him..for the Lord keeps us guys and the Lord protects us His children..and when we know who we are in the Lord we don’t worry about what may come or what may happen for we know all to well that we are soldiers in the army of the Lord..and that we can do all things through Christ Jesus which gives us the strength..Philippians 4:13..for the word of God says what can separate us from Christ and His love..and it goes on to say absolutely nothing..Romans 8:31-39…Praise the Lord..for the Lord has us despite of what we see…or what were facing we have to know that God is for us and never against us..Romans 8:31..we have to stay grounded and steady on that solid Rock which is Jesus Christ our Lord..and we have to study to show ourselves approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed but rightly dividing the word of God..2 Timothy 2:15..not being up and down and round and round so to speak..but being and remaining steadfast unmovable always abounding in the work of the Lord..1 Corinthians 15:58..so when we stay ready and we stay prepared then when life happens it is just that..life…it doesn’t happen to us…but it just happens guys..and we are not surprised…nor do we get confused…or depressed..because we are prepared and always we should be prepared in our lives when it comes to the things of God..never to let our guards down not for one moment..for we all know that once we do then the devil he begins to steal away and take away everything he can get his hands on..but when we stay ahead of the game..and we refuse to let life get us down..and we keep our joy and our peace..no matter what others are doing to no matter what their not doing..for it isn’t going to bother us…for you see it’s not about what’s happening around us but what it’s about is how we are choosing to respond to what’s happening…so let me say this to us all…know who you are and know whom you serve..and stay focused on Jesus…always keep the Lords praises in your mouth and keep His face continually in your face…always praying…always leaning..and always and forever seeking and trusting in Him…for I say it matters not what may come as long as I have Jesus I can and I will make it through..just as you can and will make it through the storms..and the winds and the rains..and all of everything else that may happen or may come your way…because you know God has you…and He keeps you safe from all harm…what a great God it is that we serve…I love the song that says this…”Your a good, good Father…that’s who you are…that’s who you are…that’s who you are..and I’m loved by you…that’s who I am…that’s who I am..for Lord you are perfect in all of your ways..you are perfect in all of your ways to us…and that guys, He must definitely is…He is a loving and merciful Father whom loves each of us with that everlasting love..so rest today and all the days that follow knowing that you are a child of God..and that God Almighty has you covered from the top of your head to the soles of your feet..my prayer is that none of you ever forget that..In Jesus’s 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
