Apology

 I had planned on having a post today for you. However, I have to apologize. Today has been a bit different and I am not going to be able to have one for you. 

But I will include a couple scriptures on faith for you to mediate on this evening.

• Romans 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
• Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Remember that it is impossible to please God with out of Fath. When we go through the hard times in our lives, we know that God allows those times as opportunities to grow our faith. And he brings all things to the good of those that love Him.

I will try to be back tomorrow or Sunday. Thanks for stopping by. God bless you!

God Will

 

Faith is not hoping God can. It is knowing He will. 

But just what is it that God can do?

Well, let's find out. Faith in God can...

1 Gives us strength Isaiah 12:2 

2 Gives us a song Isaiah 12:2

3 Gives rewards to those that seek him Hebrews 11:6

4 Gives us hope Hebrews 11:1

5 It saves us through God because it is his gift to us Ephesians 2:8

6 It can move our mountains 2 Corinthians5:7

These are just a sprinkling of bible verses that are about faith. Did you know there are 82 verses about faith and the word "faith' appears 514 times in the bible. 

You would think that faith is a very important subject to God. wouldn't you?

Well, we know that because of this next verse: 

 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6

It is necessary for us as believers, to live by faith. And if it's not in our lives, it should be if we want God's rewards and favor.

When my husband passed, it was a shock. I didn't know how things would go for me financially as well as emotionally. I determined into my heart though, that I was going to have faith in my God, no matter what. 

Those weeks after his death were hard. But it presented me with a chance to prove that God was not leaving me or forsaking me just because death had taken my husband. And. not only has God not done that, but he is also blessing me.

Today it is amazing that almost a year later, how my life has changed and how God has and is taking care of me. 

Sad? Yes. That doesn't just stop when you love someone, and they pass on. But God has been here for me every second of everyday and i rejoice that my husband is safe in the arms of Jesus, and I will be there one day too.

My question is: How is your faith today? I pray it is where it needs to be in God. If not, make that a determined action and belief in your life. That no matter what comes, you know that you know that God is with you and will take care of you.

Finally, just know that I do not consider myself so good that faith comes easy for me. I have no bragging rights to that theory believe me. But I do know Whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.  2 Timothy 1:12.

Amen and Amen!!!!

Thanks for sticking around all these months, my friends. I will be back probably on Friday with some more words on faith. I hope you will come back that day. 

God bless!!!!

Starting up again

 I happened to come by here today and see that even though I have not been posting, someone is still visiting here and its almost unbelievable to me that God is still using these posts for his Glory. I feels its almost a sign that I am to continue. I plan to start back tomorrow and do want you to know that it I will post a couple (but not limited to) or maybe three posts per week. My life has been very overwhelming since the death of my husband passed away almost a year ago. I am hanging on to God with every ounce of strength I have and it has not been easy. But He is helping me as I try to depend on him. My scripture for today is as follows:

... said unto them, Occupy till I come. Luke 19:13

This was from a parable that Jesus told and I would have to study it to be able to say more about what it means. But the above part of it reminds me that we are to live life until he comes back. And also until that happens, we must do that as well.  

At any rate, I am so glad that those that are still coming, have not given up on me. And I happily have you come. I will be back tomorrow. Have a very blessed rest of your day.
