It takes me a few days to see where He's going or to get the picture sometimes but reflecting at the end of the week is something I enjoy. This week ..
Monday: From Sarah Young's JC4K: Hold My Hand !!!
I smiled from ear to ear reading this after My favorite things here.
He alone is my rock and salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken. - Ps62:6
"Hold my hand - and trust Me. .. I am the only One who can satisfy those longing deep in your heart."
Fear not, for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My right hand of righteousness and justice. -Isa41:10
My soul wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectations are from Him. -Ps62:5
And: For my eyes are ever toward The Lord, or He will pluck my feet out of the net. [Lord] turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are multiplied; bring me out of my distresses. Behold my affliction and my pain and forgive all my sins [of thinking and doing]. -Ps25:15-18
May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthed and reinforced with mighty power in the the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. May Christ throught your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permenant home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]
-Eph3:16-18
Tuesday: You Make Me Sing ;) (From Sarah Young's JC4K):
We will rejoice over you with singing. -Zep3:17
"Remember that I take great joy in you - you make Me sing!"
Thursday: For Your Protection (Sarah Young's JC4K):
"Don't worry about what's ahead Don't think about the past or the future. Just focus on right here and right now - with Me.
I created time to protect you. Because I am timeless, I can see your entire life from beginning to end - all at the same time. But I knew that you couldn't bear to see your whole life all at once. So I created time to hide your future from you, to protect you.
You can do nothing about the past, so just let it go. You cannot know the future, so put it aside. Meet me here and now - in this moment in time. Trust that I am with you, watching over you wherever you go."
And behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you may go, and I will bring you back to this land for I will not leave you until I have done all of which I have told you. -Gen28:15
But this I confess to you, however, that in accordance with The Way [of The Lord], which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, still persuaded of the truth of and believing in and placing full confidence in everything laid down in the Law or written in the prophets; Having [the same] hope in God which these themselves hold and look for, that there is to be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous. Therefore I always exercise and discipline myself [mortifying my body, deadening my carnal affections, bodily appetites, and worldly desires, endeavoring in all respects] to have a clear (unshaken, blameless) conscience, void of offense toward God and toward men. -Acts24:14-16
Friday: I Am Good (Sarah Young's JC4K):
Examine and see how good The Lord is. Happy is the person who trusts The Lord.
-Ps34:8
"I am good. Walk with Me today and see that for yourself. The more time you spend with Me, the more you will see just how good I am. And I promise to do only what is good for you.
When hard times come, many people start to doubt My goodness. But troubles are just part of living in this imperfect world. And I can use your troubles to grow your faith.
I know that doesn't always make sense to you. You won't always understand the 'why' of things. .. When you don't understand, just trust that I Am Good - and that I always work for good in your life."
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways says The Lord. For as the heavens are higher than your ways and My thought than your thoughts. - Isa55:8-9
Add to that: This charge and admonition I commit in trust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with prophetic intimations which I formerly received concerning you, so that inspired and aided by them you may wage the good warfare. Holding fast to faith (that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence) and having a good (clear) conscience. By rejecting and thrusting from them [their conscience] some individuals have made shipwreck of their faith. -1Tim1:18-19
But The [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith, giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach. Through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared (cauterized). -1Tim4:1-2
The latter takes me back to extra challenge today, to walk through with what The Lord had given me. Tried to remain as gentle as Christ and remember what and how He's taught me to pray .. "forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" especially.
Tomorrow?? <3
