Nothing...

February 19, 2010


Good news to behold!!

Nothing will ever happen to you that God does not already know about (psalm 139:1-4).

Nothing will ever happen to you that is a mistake (Psalm 139:4, 16)

Nothing will ever happen that you cannot handle by god's power and grace (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

Nothing will ever happen to you without God's presence (Matthew 28:20)

Nothing will ever separate you from God's love (Romans 8:38-39)

A Faith that Pleases God

February 12, 2010


"God must be big in our minds. God needs to be at the forefront of our thought processes. He needs to be the first consideration in all of our daily circumstances, not the last resort that we consider after exhausting all other options. Believing in His existence- focusing with trust on His reality- is fundamental to a faith that pleases God." WH Alsup

Let's view our situations through the lens of God's truth as Ruth Graham models:

"Overhead are the overshadowing wings (Psalm 91:4); underneath are the everlasting arms (Deuteronomy 33:27); all around "the angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear Him, and delivers them" (Psalm 34:7); inside, that "peace which passes all understanding" (Philippians 4:7)

Forgiveness~

"To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness." Muller

"Let us begin our Christian career with the full assurance that we shall have a great deal to forgive in other people, but that there will be a great deal more to be forgiven in ourselves, and let us set our account upon having to exercise gentleness, and needing its exercise from others, 'Forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.' " Spurgeon



The Safest Place~

"The safest place in the universe is with our arms around the neck of God." John Piper

Let us rest in Him, rely on Him, and rejoice in Him today!

Notes of Thanksgiving~

January 28, 2010


Let us ask God to draw music lines upon our hearts so that in every thing He gives, and everything He takes away-we can, by His grace, put on them notes of thanksgiving, and say to the Lord, with David,



"Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name for ever and ever!"

Spurgeon ~paraphrased
