The last couple of days the Lord has impressed on me the importance of renewing my mind…of just not relying on what I see around me.  I am so capable of believing whatever I see without totally thinking about what is the truth.  God is truth, and He  is the measurement for all reality.  Everything else is either not perfect or passing away.

That leads me to the subject of weakness.  Okay, we notice that we are weak.  That is true, but Christ is our strength and will give us the ability and endurance we need. He is the fulfillment of our neediness.  He told us to come to Him and drink.

My Father and I were talking about  this subject this morning.  Some people will state that Christ is our crutch.  He is more than our crutch, and gives us the very next breath we take. How can we say that He is just our crutch, when He is our everything?

This morning I  woke up very discouraged about past happenings and failures in my life.  The Lord stopped me in my tracks…not only talking to me in my mind, but through the words of my Father.

What God was sharing with me was that it was His Grace that allows us to have a new morning….no matter what has occurred in the past.  I am publically, right now, thanking God for the opportunity of being with my Parents.  I thank Him for my dog that I was able to take out in the fresh, frostbitten air. I am also grateful that I have a loving Sister, Brother-in-Law, and Aunts.  Finally, nothing is more sweeter than knowing that one day I will be praising God forever with my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! 

The Scriptures that my Dad pointed us to were found in Psalms and in Habakkuk. David was crying out to God about how long will it be for the affliction to pass in his life. In Habakkuk, the Prophet was stating that no matter if he had any livelihood or signs of prosperity he still was going to praise God.  May that be my and all of our attitudes today!

This morning I was meditating upon the fact that God is good…how gracious of Him! We do not deserve His goodness, but each day He is there as  a good, Heavenly Father.  We all have a tendency to falter in our minds by not taking God for His Word.

In His Word, I believe in one of the epistles by John,  it mentions that perfect love casts out all fear.  When we are fearful, we are in essence telling God that His love is not perfect/good.  The only reason we experience bad, is that we entered a sinful world which is constantly questioning God and trying to do things its own way.

Let us today remember Romans 8:28, which says that God allows everything in our lives for our good. Do we truly believe this?  Are we going to believe Him that we are either going to be delivered from the trials, or that He will give us grace in going through them?  In Hebrews it talks about these two groups of people.

Lord, help our faith!

I wanted to start this blog in order to focus my mind, and others,’ on what God does in His chldren’s lives. There are too many times when I and every other Christian are too focused on what they feel should be happening, instead of the grace of God in their lives. I will start off by thanking the Lord for entering this sinful world and for remembering me as He hanged on the cross. I also want to praise my maker for giving me such wonderful Godly Parents, and such a compassionate and caring Sister! In addition, thank you Lord for your body of believers that have come beside me as encouragement! I want to dedicate this day and blog to God:) Finally, thank you Jesus for bringing my husband, Alan, back to me.
