Sometimes in our lives we feel as if the Lord is very distant from us..we feel as if we pray but were not hearing from the Lord..we keep on giving it all doing what we can but still we feel as if it’s not enough..for some they get saddened in their lives..for some they even get angry and fall away..for others they get frustrated and they backslide..just giving up right there in the middle of how their feeling…and for others they just stop praying all together..but guys let me say a few things here to ya today…for one when life is happening and when life is getting the best of us..and the Lord is quiet..and the Lord seems to be far from us..that is never a time for us to give in to feelings..or our emotions..because they are not facts about life..or even facts about how the Lord feels about us..right?..so when all is not going all to well..and your not hearing maybe them things that your wanting to hear from God you must go by the word of the Lord..for God speaks to us through His word…for Gods word the bible says it is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our pathway..Psalm 119:105..so when we get to that place, we keep going, we don’t quit..or do we ever back away..or I pray we don’t fall away or become angry with the Lord..because it’s true we will go through tests and many trials in our lives..it’s not always peaches and cream…but really that’s life and we can’t change it..life that is..but we can stand and believe in the word as we should..we can go by faith and not sight as we should..2 Corinthians 5:7..calling them things that be not as though they were..Romans 4:17..as we should..for we don’t do things the way the world does them..but we get tried..and we do get tested..we get thrown at times in that fiery furnace so to speak…but the word says it is to try us..it is that we can come forth we will be as pure gold..Job 23:10..see when we go through things it strengthens us and our walk with Christ..for it we will grow through them times in our lives..but more then anything we grow in our relationship with the Lord..for when we know Him, we trust Him..just as we do our spouses and our friendships..when we know them, we trust them..Amen!..so know that God loves you..and know that God works all things together for your good..Romans 8:28..so I will ask you today, whose report are you going to believe?..and my prayer is that each of us believe and choose to believe the report of the Lord!!.Isaiah 53:1..for I love the song that says this…Whose report will you believe?..We shall believe the report of the Lord!..His report says I am healed!..His report says I am filled!..His report says I am free!..His report says victory!!..So who’s report will you believe?..We shall believe the report of the Lord!!..and I pray we always are believing and standing on the word of God and the report of the Lord..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
