Verse
of the Day:
Psalm 73:26 (NIV)
“My flesh and my heart
may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion
forever.”
This
verse today immediately made me think about a popular children’s song we like
to sing. “Jesus loves me, this I know. For the bible tells me so. Little ones
to Him belong. They are weak, but He is strong!” Amen! Yes, we are all weak,
not just the women as the weaker vessel, but we all live in this sinful flesh
or sin nature. But when we fail, we in Christ know that we have Jesus, our
redeemer, our bridge back to the Father. Thank God for Jesus! When we are weak,
He is strong. All we got to do is call on Him! Our Deliverer! Amen!
At
bible study last night, the message was about Ruth and Naomi and finding rest
in the midst of a sifting or winnowing by God’s grace through obedience,
sanctification, and humility. We all go through things in this life, but God is
near. When we turn our eyes and focus on Him rather than looking down at our
circumstances, we get a clear view rather than looking through the dirty glass
of our situation. We need to change our focus and trust in the Lord. Through obeying
and serving the Lord, we receive strength through the storm and what seemed
like a hurricane is only like a little rain to us now that we have Jesus. He
strengthens my heart.
Our
marriage may be on the rocks, our children may be walking in disobedience, our
job may fail us, our friends and family may forsake us, But God’s love will
never fail and He is able to deliver us out of all our troubles.

Corinthians 1:4
says, “Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort
them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are
comforted of God.”
When
we stand in the storm, we can encourage others to stand also because God gives
us this comfort for this reason. His
comfort and strength is contagious, just share it and see how great our God is.
Psalm 34:19 says, “The
righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them
all”
The
people of this world sing songs of “No Worries”, how much more for the people
of God! If they claim money and living life in unrighteousness brings them “no
worries”, how much more in Jesus shall we be delivered and honestly be able to
claim “NO WORRIES!” Amen! Let’s just trust in Him today!
Let’s
end today with this power verse:
“Now
to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according
to his power that is at work within us” Ephesians
3:20
He
can do it, He is able, but do we trust Him? Do we believe? Do we have faith?
Lord,
increase our faith today to trust in you with all our hearts. Give us faith
like a mustard seed to move mountains in our lives that have been stubborn to
move. Give us strength to face today and cast all our cares at your feet. You
are our Deliverer. Teach us to walk in obedience and seek you first, God of our
salvation. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Walk
in the Spirit,
Prophetess
