The day with dianne Louise

He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. Proverbs 2:8 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/pro.2.8.nlt When all hell is breaking out, it may not seem as if God is guarding us, but He is there, keeping us from the knives of our enemies. We may see all that is happening around us and hear what the enemy is saying but if we keep our eyes on Jesus, He will bring us through. He must be our security and strength. He is the beginning and end of our faith, He is our song. Amen!

And here’s why: God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding. He’s a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. He keeps his eye on all who live honestly and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones. Proverbs 2:6‭-‬8 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/pro.2.6-8.MSG Our God is a God of common sense. We cannot manipulate the truth and put a fancy dress on it and call it righteousness. God is truth; His word is truth. We can trust His word and know that He backs His word. God is a bodyguard to the sincere. That has to be worth something! As we live His words and build our lives on His word He backs us up. He is our support and confidence. We can trust His word. It never fails. Amen!

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. Matthew 6:33 HCSB https://bible.com/bible/72/mat.6.33.HCSB It takes all our strength to seek first God. If we are honest our hearts wander after money, relationships and prestige. These and perhaps others are on a circular wire and they go round and round in our minds. To change the programme takes effort, much like a habit. We can train ourselves to keep our minds on Jesus and His kingdom and forsake all else. He is faithful and He is the provider. We can trust Him and cease from our own interfering ways. Amen!

“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting , so you can respond to God’s giving . People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Matthew 6:30‭-‬33 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/mat.6.30-33.MSG I love: don't be worried about missing out! This is a biggie! I believe we have an enemy who harasses our minds with a thought about missing out. This could not be further from the truth. God has a plan for each of our lives which is unique. We can trust Him that His plan for us is His best. Try ...

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. John 14:27 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/jhn.14.27.nlt Peace is the most sought after state if being. It trumps money and prestige every time. A troubled soul devastated wealthy households just as a knife through butter. We see the result in the high rates of suicide. Unfortunately, we also see it in Christian homes as well. What causes a lack of peace? Why is peace hard to find? Real, soul releasing peace can only be found in Christ. We can carry the name Christian but if we do not seek Him as desperately as seeking air we will not find His peace. We will know about it but not live it. Jesus said: come to Me all you who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-30 We can be troubled with thoughts of comparison, failure, image, guilt, inadequacy. Being bullied does not help. The voic...
