Scripture: I look up toward the mountains. Where can I find help? My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth. He will not let you fall. Your guardian will not fall asleep. Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps. The LORD is your guardian. The LORD is the shade over your right hand. The sun will not beat down on you during the day, nor will the moon at night. The LORD guards you from every evil. He guards your life. The LORD guards you as you come and go, now and forever. (‭Psalms‬ ‭121‬:‭1-8‬ GW)

I ain’t gonna lie sometimes it seems u are all alone and no one understands what u face and deal with but in those times I am trying to look up to My Father, My God to get some help through life’s hard spots. It will not always be raging waters a calmness is due soon!  Thank you God cuz when I don’t tell ya thank you enough or pray enough u still hear my hearts prayer and sends Your HELP my way…Thank You Lord

The Lord got me! Repeat with belief. Repeat.

Interestingly enough, society has coined the term disability to mean such a debilitating existence. It is commonly thought that when a person has a disability, they are lacking something. I have learned that it’s not always the case. I have found that those that are labeled “disability” by category, are the most “able.” In fact, they are most able to look at possibilities in a very optimistic way. More times that not, people who are disabled go far beyond and above all that one would even think they could.

What I am simply trying to get us to see is that we all have some kind of “disability.”

Whether it be physical or spiritual, we all should admit that we have something that cripples us. It’s not up to someone to know or even tell you, but it is for you to admit and change for your better. Grow at a steady pace and not stay malnourished. Allow God to be the One who grooms you…because if you listen to Him in your Heart, you live a wholesome and obedient lifestyle which only make leaps forward and not step backwards.

Will you grow? Take a closer look within.

Today’s Scriptures: (Please do not skip)
Generous in love—God, give grace! Huge in mercy—wipe out my bad record. Scrub away my guilt, soak out my sins in your laundry. I know how bad I’ve been; my sins are staring me down.

You’re the One I’ve violated, and you’ve seen it all, seen the full extent of my evil. You have all the facts before you; whatever you decide about me is fair. I’ve been out of step with you for a long time, in the wrong since before I was born. What you’re after is truth from the inside out. Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.

Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health. God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don’t throw me out with the trash, or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails! Give me a job teaching rebels your ways so the lost can find their way home. Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your praise.

Going through the motions doesn’t please you, a flawless performance is nothing to you. I learned God-worship when my pride was shattered. Heart-shattered lives ready for love don’t for a moment escape God’s notice.

Make Zion the place you delight in, repair Jerusalem’s broken-down walls. Then you’ll get real worship from us, acts of worship small and large, Including all the bulls they can heave onto your altar!
(‭Psalm‬ ‭51‬:‭1-19‬ MSG)

Still, GOD, you are our Father. We’re the clay and you’re our potter: All of us are what you made us.
(‭Isaiah‬ ‭64‬:‭8MSG)

We know that we have been made free in God once we have given our lives back to Him and believed in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

God gives us grace and mercy but it is not to be abused. We cannot just walk around and do anything we want. We are subject to God’s law and commandments.

We can’t just live how we want and treat people wrong and expect God to act in grace and mercy toward us.

God is beckoning us to do right, live right as according to His standards. You won’t know His requirements until you get to know the God you professed. You can’t know Him or anyone, for that matter, without spending some time with them.

Regardless of what we have heard, we are called to a higher standard of living by God.

What we used to do and how we used to act must change, if all or some of our actions were not as God would desire.

Do not fall back into your old life because God has made you very FREE. Do not allow others to determine how you will live with this new freedom.

Rely only on God’s instructions so that you are very sure of His requirements.

The world has its own standards and most, if not all, are not aligned with God’s law.

Today’s Scriptures:
Freedom is what we have—Christ has set us free! Stand, then, as free people, and do not allow yourselves to become slaves again.

As for you, my friends, you were called to be free. But do not let this freedom become an excuse for letting your physical desires control you. Instead, let love make you serve one another. (‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭1, 13‬ GNT)

So many times life hits us with some tough stuff! Situations come back to back to back and it feels like God has forgotten about us.  God has not forgot! God is still on the main line!

You know, many times we call up everyone we know to tell them about our troubles. We call people so they can be an ear, give us encouragement, gossip – lies and truths, bad mouth folk etc but how many times are we willing to hang up that call and get on your knees to cry out to God in sincerity, asking Him to come to our rescue?

Listen, our destiny awaits us but the enemy is fast on our trial to try and deter and reroute us to go the way opposite of Christ.

Stay on your knees before God, Our Rescuer.  Call on Him because He does care for us and knows what we are facing.  Now, one would ask, if God knows what we are facing then why call on Him?  The answer is that God wants you to call on Him and cry out in every rough and tough situation so that He hears how much you need Him to relieve you…so He knows you are sincere and really know that there is NO OTHER WAY but THROUGH HIM.  He is the only one that can Help, Will you call on God?

And when He does come through for you, which I am CERTAIN He will, DO go back to Him with PRAISE! Shout unto God with a voice of triumph.

Psalmist one recorded: “I must tell Jesus all of my troubles, I cannot bear these burdens alone, in my distress He kindly will help me, He ever loves and cares for His own!”

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 47:1 ASV “Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.”

Look! No matter what it is you are facing, no matter how big it seems to you, do know you can call on Our Lord, Your God and He will respond to your call? Yes.

Action: Rely on His Word in times of distress or what seems a disastrous situation and I know that He will come to ur rescue.

Action: While in the problem, know that God is your solution!

Action: Read His Word and BELIEVE that HE will come through because of HIS Word….there is a brighter day ahead.

Action: Look with ur spiritual eyes and SPEAK life and deliverance, SPEAK victory because He will not ever GUIDE you to something without bringing you THROUGH something!!!!

Action: Keep trusting, regardless of what ur mind says, trust God with ur heart and the mind will fall in line!

Do you need Him to fix it?
Yes, God I need You to fix it.

What do I do now?
Action: Keep trusting, praying, reading His Word, believing in my heart, HIS WORD & training my mind by speaking His Word aloud!

When will He come through?
When He gets ready.

Do I know He will come through?
YES

Why do I know He will deliver me out this situation?
Because My God has never failed me yet! God will bring us through!

Action: Believe with everything in you…wait & watch God work!

Today’s Scriptures:
Action: “Seek the LORD while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near.
The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. God’s Action: I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.” (‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭6, 10-11‬ NLT)

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ KJV)

Don’t you realize that everything you need to get through this battle is already on the inside? God is with us always. This issue you face did not just slip past God which means that since you know God is aware that’s enough security to know He won’t leave you in it forever. Whatever you need to gain from this you will gain and thus grow if you can allow yourself to look past the problem and look to The One who is able to give you overwhelming victory in Christ Jesus.
God conquered it all when He gave His son for atonement of the world. He loves us so much that He has to train us to live through this, too!

So strap up, head up, chest up and push through this with the strength we have in God to make it through yet another issue. The issues of life seem plenty but God has granted us strength through Him and in Him so we will persevere and hold on just a little while longer until our change come! Be encouraged today that God hears and does answer our prayers! He does give us what it takes to endure until the end. Hold to ur faith!

Today’s Scriptures:

You light a lamp for me. The LORD, my God, lights up my darkness. In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall. God’s way is perfect. All the LORD’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock? God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect.

He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow. You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great.

You have armed me with strength for the battle; you have subdued my enemies under my feet. (‭Psalms‬ ‭18‬:‭28-32, 34-35, 39‬ NLT)

I’m so glad that the more I try to remind myself that I belong to God and also read His Word, pray and trust Him I know that I have a safe place.

It’s good to know that as I learn and allow God to show me my faults and teach me a way to grow and get better, I can tell God I am sorry, with a sincere heart and God forgives me.

We will never stay the same if we continue to seek God out! It’s important to keep in constant communication with God so we don’t fall in traps the enemy places in our way.

Try to do more this week by way of praying and reading His Word. Open ur heart to God’s instructions and allow Him to train you to be better. Just do more and you can expect God to respond to ur efforts!

Just like in any relationship you want to work out, you have to spend time getting to know the other person. Spend time with the God of our salvation and learn that He desires ur praise and ur living.

Today’s Scriptures:

Whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD. Whoever sins against me harms himself. All those who hate me love death.” (‭Proverbs‬ ‭8‬:‭35-36‬ GW)

God is faithful and reliable. If we confess our sins, he forgives them and cleanses us from everything we’ve done wrong. (‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ GW)

No one can please God without faith. Whoever goes to God must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who seek him. (‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ GW)
