“As I was looking through the scriptures this morning, the one that struck my heart more than anything was found in the book of Psalms. It reads, “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and delivers them. O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who trusts in Him. O fear the Lord, you His saints: for there is no want to those who fear Him” (Psalm 34:7-9). Amen. As I read this, I thought, “My goodness gracious, an angel encamps around us, keeps us, and protects us.” Amen. That is amazing to me! Hallelujah. With all that is happening in life at this moment and all that has been happening, we, as children of the Lord, must not get pulled into the drama of it all. Amen. Because when we begin to lose sight of God Almighty and His presence, and who He is, we lose sight of who we are and whom we belong to. Amen.
God has us and always has had us. But when we walk in the flesh and in self, with our eyes placed everywhere else and on everything other than the truth and what we are supposed to be focused on, we get into the ways of this old world. Before long, we begin walking as the world walks, talking as the world talks, and acting as the world acts. Amen. In turn, we lose peace, we lose ground, and we lose our witness. We begin acting in fear instead of faith, and we forget all that God has said about us, about our lives, and about who He is. When we lose vision of all of that, we get blinded, our vision becomes blurry, and we don’t see or think as we should. But this morning, if we could only focus on what God desires for us to focus on and do what God desires for us to do, we stay happy, we stay whole, and we stay walking in the light of the Lord (1 John 1:7). Amen.
I think about the word and all that it tells us, all that it says to us, and all the benefits it has for us and our lives. It brings health and healing to the very core of our souls. God’s word is active and sharper than any two-edged sword; it goes forth to accomplish what it was sent forth to accomplish. The Bible says it will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Amen. So know who the Lord is in your life. Know that He alone is God and that He can do anything. When we get self out of the way and think about the Lord and others more than ourselves and what we want, we begin to do great things for Jesus. We begin to live a life of happiness and radiate joy in all that we do. We walk in love, go where the Lord sends us, and do what God says, whether we like it or not. Amen.
When we walk with the Lord and know He has us, He guides us, keeps us, protects us, heals us, delivers us, and frees us. He is our ever-present help. He bottles our tears, numbers the hairs on our heads, and is everything to us and our lives. We are not shaken by our surroundings or pulled into the mess of life. We stand steadfast, building on God our Father, that firm and solid foundation. The winds and waves may come and beat upon our homes, but they will not fall because we are firm and secure in the Lord (Matthew 7:25). We go forth confidently, knowing that God has us in everything. We are kept, always kept, and we go knowing this, walking, and living secure always and forever in our Father. Amen.
“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I ask and pray. Amen and Amen.
Be blessed today, my dear sweet friends. Remember, wherever you go and whatever you do, be a light for our Father. Much love to you all. Mandi
