My Help Comes From The Lord

Once again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing. And He came again an found them sleeping, because they coul not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to Him. Then He came a third time and said to them, "Enough! The time has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. "Get up, let's go! See- My betrayer is near." Mark 14:39-42

Although the disciples were no support Jesus found His strength in the Father who sent His angel to minister to Him. (Luke 22:43)

I have found through times of deepest anguish I was alone and knew I could not expect anyone to be my sustainer. I knew that my God was the one I needed to find and when I did I was strengthened.
I still had to go through the trial and they were grievous and many but although it was a hard time I found my God in a far greater capacity than ever before. I was visited by angels and the presence of God was overpowering. There is no trade I would give for the presence of God.

To fall out with people and God because we expect out help to come from humans is wrong and we cause ourselves pain that is unneeded. Our God is our strength and song. Our help comes from The Lord. If it comes from men then they can claim the glory and we fail to find true treasure. There is absolute treasure in our God, how good He is. He is faithful, loving and kind. There is none like Him. Amen! I now have treasure indeed!

He alone is worthy of praise! He alone is good! Worthy is He! The Father kept His word and although Jesus suffered horribly He rose again victorious. I have risen from the grave, my God was faithful, His word proved true! I will sing His song, not one of my own making. I am not the glorious one, I am the redeemed!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
