The World and its Tribulations
My words for courageous living today does not come from (1) a book (2) my idea (3) scripture (4) sermon (5) friend……they come directly from God!
Now, hold on...stay with me. In the Old Testament and in the New Testament God spoke through people. We call them prophets or prophetess. There have always been prophets and prophetess, who through the years have heard from God and who have delivered His message.
The following, while spoken to a person in particular are encouraging to others. (Just like in Biblical times) So, while the words ministered so much me and a few others, I have felt led to share them with you. Be blessed as you hear God (with his face smiling on you – just where you are now) saying.
In simplicity and trust I have called you to be. Think about that. As a little child comes to her mother with everything that concern her, that is the way I have called you. I will be there for you always. Wait on me. I will not fail you. Word for word, step by step, moment by moment, I will not fail you. I have the answers for everything.
How simple these words are to you. This is what I have called you to be in me. I am just a word away. Call my name. Walk with me. Talk with me. Ask of me. I will be there and I will answer. Be that simple trusting child who is obedient and trusting of her father whom she knows loves her and desires the best for her.
If my children would learn the lesson of simplicity, how much easier and victorious their lives will be. Ask me to grace you in this as you choose to come. Visualize yourself placing your hand in mine as that trusting child and see what I will do, what I will accomplish you in and through you! Amen.
Our prayer for you:
God, I ask in the name of Jesus, that this precious reader be aware that you are aware of them…..yes, smiling on them. May these words be for their courageous living. Thank you for your love and concern for this one. May they find victory in every area of their life through the matchless name of Jesus. Amen.
"How precious to me are your thoughts,O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of the sand."
(Psalm 139:17,18)
