“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness.”

God shows up in unexpected places and times in our lives. But do we recognize his presence in these moments? Too many times when God shows up, we are not prepared; because we allow the situations that we are dealing with, to rob us of our peace, and we lose our focus which should be on God, and not the situation. Today, I don’t know who I am talking to, but no matter what you are going through, I want you to fix your mind on God, and not on your situation and you will experience God’s peace that will sustain you, until he shows up. Know that our God is an on-time God, and nothing is impossible for him to do.

“Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord.”

“No wisdom, no understanding, and no counsel will prevail against the Lord! But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!”

Lord, I know that your right arm will sustain me as I continue to live my life depending on you. I am confident that you will not allow my strength to fail in times of adversity. Keep me in the palm of your hand and under the shadow of your wings. Thank you, Lord!

Thank you, dear Lord, that because I am living a God-dependent life, I can praise you more and criticize you less. I can thank you in the midst of my struggles. I can give to others even when I don’t have enough for myself. I can bring comfort to others even when my troubles get me down. I can lift you up in praise even after I have been disappointed, and I can thank you for unanswered prayers.

Dear Lord, let me not be like a chafe before the wind, let me not be like the restless wave driven and tossed by the sea. Let me not be a doubtful Thomas who only believes what he sees, but by faith, believe, that with you, all things are possible, that a thousand years in your sight is like a day to you when it’s past, and understand that there is nothing impossible for you.

“Goodbye world, I stay no longer with you, Goodbye pleasures of sin, I stay no longer with you, I’ve made up my mind to go God’s way the rest of my life, I’ve made up my mind to go God’s way the rest of my life. Born, born, born again thank God, I’m born again, Born, born, born again thank God, I’m born again, Born, born, born again thank God, I’m born again.” Amen! Praise God!

“The wicked watches the righteous and seeks to slay him. But, the Lord will not leave him in his hand; nor condemn him when he is judged.” 

“Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a native green tree. Yet, he passed away, and behold, he was no more. Indeed, I sought him, but he could not be found.”
