My brothers and sisters in Christ, when you are walking with the Lord, your troubles and trials are great, but, because you have chosen to follow the Savior, His grace becomes greater. You will have joy, the balm, the healing, the whispered promise, the blessings, the sunshine and the psalm. He offers the promise for the fearful; the Elim for the faint; the rainbow for the tearful; and the glory for the saint.” Praise the Lord!

I cannot wait until the day of reckoning to wonder if there are any stars in my crown. Now is the time to begin gathering stars for my crown; I want to be winning souls for God. I want to be doing my Father’s will. If I continue to gather stars in my crown; “Oh, what joy it will be, when His face I behold, living gems at His feet to lay down. It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold, should there be many stars in my crown.”

We wander and roam yet can’t find a home, we toss and we turn and we can’t find rest, but Jesus’ love so precious and free is waiting to welcome us home. O, turn to that love, weary, wandering soul, Jesus is pleading for thee.

Do not be afraid of where you are, or where you have been, or what you have done. Your wilderness had a name, but you survived. The Lord has loved you with an everlasting love, therefore, with loving-kindness he will draw you again to him. No matter how far removed you are from him because of your troubles, God is able to make you much better than you were before. Trust him!

“Your righteousness I have not hidden in my heart, I have spoken of your faithfulness and your deliverance. I have not concealed your love and faithfulness from the great congregation. You are the Lord, do not withhold your compassion from me; let your love and your faithfulness keep me safe forever.” Lord, you have done so much for me; give me a thankful heart always.

“Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord! Unnumbered blessings give my spirit voice; tender to me the promise of His word; in God my Savior shall my heart rejoice. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of His Name! Make known His might, the deeds His arm has done; His mercy sure, from age to age to same; His holy Name – the Lord, the Mighty One.” Praise the Lord!

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live, I will sing praise to my God, while I have my being. May my meditation be sweet to Him; I will be glad in the Lord. Bless the Lord, O my soul! Praise the Lord!

Lord, most times we don’t even say thank you. We remember you when things are bad, we call you when we are down and out, but when you deliver us, we go on our merry way and forget you. Yet, when we fall into the same situation and we call upon, you never remind us of our rebelliousness, you give, and supply our needs. Give us grateful, thankful hearts to be mindful of your goodness. “Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His benefits! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name!”

Thank you, Lord, for blessing me. It is not because of anything good that I did but your favor on me. As Davika celebrates another Birthday today, Lord, draw her closer to you, in Jesus name I pray. Amen!

I don’t know about you, but my God has kept His promises to me and I will forever stand on His promises knowing that I cannot fall; I’ll be listening every moment to the Spirit’s call, and resting in my Savior as my All in All, standing on the promises of God.
