Do Not Doubt His Love

Make a daily practice of sitting quietly with the Lord. Begin your day with Him! If you are one that has allowed fear and worry to imprison you for many years, Release them to Him! There in the Light of His Presence, they will dissipate. However, some of them will attempt to return throughout your day. Do Not Let Them! When fear or any thoughts of worry attempt to assail you, capture them and cast them down with the Light of His Word.

Do not doubt His love for you. For perfect love casts out fear: because fear hath torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.

When you allow fear to dominate, faith is not there. When you bring fear into your day, you have left God out. You just have to acknowledge Him and keep your mind renewed by speaking forth His Word. Do not be fearful, for He is with you always. He will help you and make you strong. You have let Him live in your spirit, now it is time that you let Him reign in your soul.

I Peter 5:7; 2 Corinthians 10:5; I John 4:15-18; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 41:10

Let God Take Care Of It

Do not be quick to get defensive when things are not going well and seem unfair. If you find yourself “a victim of circumstance”, the Lord will be your defense. Let Him take care of it. When you trust Him to take care of it, you are hidden under His grace and judgment, for there is no safer place. “Who shall bring a charge against My elect? It is I who justifies”.

When you try and defend yourself, you come under the jurisdiction of your accuser and their judgment and thus forfeits God's divine intervention. You “tie His hands” when you try to do things for yourself instead of letting Him take care of them for you.

Read and meditate from His Word, Psalm 37 and hide it in your heart. Comfort will come as you await either true repentance or His righteous judgment. He will take care of you no matter what the circumstance is that happens in your life. Trust Him. He will work it out for your good.

Romans 8:28,33; Psalm 37:6-9

Tears In A Bottle

The Lord has heard your prayers and seen your tears. Not a tear escapes your eyes that He does not notice. They do not just dry up into nothingness, as you may think. Take great comfort in His Words for He knows all your sorrows and each tear you cry is being collected in a bottle. He takes note of every reason, every situation that brought you to tears. You are that important to Him!

Every time you are going through something so heart-breaking that brings you to tears and you think that no one understands, He is close by and does understand! He knows exactly what you are feeling.

All the tears that He collects become “healing waters” that He pours into your life working all things for your good, restoring every place that is broken. You are precious to Him and He cares about what you are going through. He will be there to help you through it.

Never feel shameful for crying. Tears bring powerful results. When you cry out to Him, your enemies will turn. But remember that weeping is but for a short time, then comes joy. Tears pave the way for His joy to be ushered in.

Psalm 56:8; Psalm 34:18; Psalm 30:5; 2 Kings 20:5

No Condemnation

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1

Be aware of the difference between condemnation and conviction.

 

 Condemnation leaves you feeling hopeless and worthless and NEVER comes from God. 

 Conviction is from God and invites you to make positive changes in your life.

Songs of Deliverance

This Scripture is really a favorite of mine:

"You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance".  Psalm 32:7

Often times when I am troubled about something, I can hide away in the presence of the Lord, and get lost in worship, listening to music and a certain song will totally deliver me from whatever I was troubled about.  That is why this Scripture means so much and reminds me of those times. His Word always gives me Hope.

Here is a quote I came across several months ago. It's so true!
"MUSIC softens the pain, increases the joy and opens the heart." -author unknown

When you are troubled, He IS your hiding place. He WILL protect you from your troubles and He WILL surround you with songs of deliverance!   Praise Him!
