Beth Moore Simulcast!

Psalm 37:3-5 (New International Version)

3. Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

What a blessing to participate in a Beth Moore simulcast! It was tremendous, at least 250 women coming together to receive a word from the Lord! Psalm 37 was the theme of her message. To delight our self in the Lord, He says, He will give us the desires of our heart. What are the desires of your heart? what is it that you really want from the Lord? She gave us time to tell Him what we wanted. We were challenged all the way through the service, to really ponder what is truly our hearts desire. I would like to encourage you to read the whole chapter, it will bless your heart. Be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit and lay some things out there. We need to tell God what we want, don't ever give up hope because the things we prayed for hasn't happened yet. He will give us the desires of our heart, just like He said! Be encouraged for His Word is truth!

Don’t Worry, God is with You!

^{Proverbs 3:21-26}

^21-26 Dear friend, guard Clear Thinking and Common Sense with your life;
   don't for a minute lose sight of them.
They'll keep your soul alive and well,
   they'll keep you fit and attractive.
You'll travel safely,
   you'll neither tire nor trip.
You'll take afternoon naps without a worry,
   you'll enjoy a good night's sleep.
No need to panic over alarms or surprises,
   or predictions that doomsday's just around the corner,
Because God will be right there with you;
   he'll keep you safe and sound.

After you have read these scriptures a few times, just meditate on them!  Now, do you believe what God is telling you? Is it really possible this is true? I heard someone say they didn’t believe the Old Testament was relevant for today, and here was my question, what do you do with the scripture that “God is the same, yesterday, today and forever”?  Did He change His mind somewhere along the way? I’m sorry, but I have a real problem with that theory. I believe those promises are for us today, just as they were back then. Yes, there are things that changed, we no longer have to kill animals for the atonement for our sins. There is a better way, and only one way, and that is through Jesus Christ. When He did everything that was needed for us, He went to heaven and sat down by His Father. The Holy Spirit is here, in us!  Forever leading us, being our comforter, enabling us with His power so we can live a victorious life. Please don’t get hung up on preconceived ideas or customs you may have. All you have to do is ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you, get in the Word and began to search. He says you will find what you are looking for. Be encouraged today!

Do You Really Trust in the Lord?

Psalm 28:6-8 (New Living Translation)
7. The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
8. The Lord gives his people strength.
He is a safe fortress for his anointed king.
What does it mean to really trust the Lord with all your heart? Do you sometimes (like me) have a little reservation about completely trusting Him? I have struggled with this “trust” we are supposed to have for many years, but as I get older all the time, it gets easier to trust Him! You see, I have learned that people will let you down, and as for myself to always do the right thing, well that is not going to happen no matter how hard I try. We just can’t see the whole picture, so there is no way without looking to God that we can be in His will. On this faith journey we do get to the place where we realize He is our shield and strength, and we do have joy. I can honestly tell you that I see God working in every area of my life, and when He tells me, “All things work together to the good, to those that love the Lord”, and a “Good mans steps are ordered by the Lord”, I believe it and I do trust Him.I could tell you of how we were led to this area we live in now, and of His faithfulness during all the economy woes. Every area of our life is being directed by God and will continue to be that way, as long as we look to Him! My hearts desire is to be a faithful servant to my Heavenly Father, to walk in that path He has laid out for me. You see, I truly believe He has a plan for my life, and one day Heaven will be my home. I pray it will be your home to! God Bless You as you look to Him!
