God knows best

God knows best

Psalm 84:11

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

~~~ Reflections ~~~
You may think you know what is good for you. Really only God truly knows.
You need to get to the point where you trust that God does know best.
Learning that if you do not get that dream job, car or house, or anything that you were desiring and praying for.  It is because God knows it would not be good for us. If you were to have it,  He would have answered that prayer with a yes. For He would not withhold any good thing from you. Remember that God knows not only the past or the present we are in, but he also knows what lies ahead. He has plans for your future.

God gives you direction and purpose by pointing you on a certain path. God ultimately directs your path.  God is good, and He can work all of the events of your life of outstanding achievements, to bring Him Glory. That is if you let Him. God is good. Everything He does is good and wonderful. God gives and offers is greater than what the devil offers, so shouldn’t your expectations come from God? God wants to do something outrageously wonderful in your life every moment of every day. But you have to be ready and expect it to happen.


Prayer

Thank you Lord for your grace and glory.
You are faithful even when we have been faithless. We thank You for Your word which gives us light and understanding. We thank You for giving us all things that pertain to life and godliness and for giving us all spiritual blessings.  We exalt You, Lord God, and we bless Your Name. We place our trust in you. Holy Spirit, help me to see the opportunities that the Father has placed before me.
In Jesus Christ Name Amen.

I AM AN ENEMY OF THE DEVIL

I AM AN ENEMY OF THE DEVIL
Peter 5:8
.Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 







~~~Reflections~~~
Lions attack the sick, weak, young and easy prey. Lions choose victims who are alone or not alert. As with many predators, a lion may attack if cornered, if a human runs away, this stimulates their instinct to chase, or if a person "plays dead"
Standing still however may cause the lion to consider a person easy prey.

Lions are ready to pounce and devour their prey.
The devil being compared to the Lion. demonstrates the attacks we face, when we are being persecuted, feeling alone, helpless, suffering or weak, and so focused on our troubles and not keeping focused on the Lord.

Be watchful for the attacks from the devil.  This is when we are easily harmed spiritually, physically, mentally, or emotionally to Satan’s attack ,We leave ourselves open to attacks, simply by having lack of faith. So stay alert, keep yourself  surrounded by others who are believers, for strength.

 Resist the devil, stay steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. The God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, will establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Do what ever it takes, get rid of the Lion before he attacks. Shout Loudly the word, use any other action to appear larger, like praise and worshipping the Lord. Raise your hands to the Almighty! Jump up and down, as you would to make the lion retreat. Fighting back with the blood of Jesus on the cross, Using the Name of The Rock of our Salvation to call upon the Father and ask for mercy in Jesus Christ Name. this is the most effective way in to drive out the temptations,

In God is my salvation and my glory!

Psalm 62:7

In God is my salvation and my glory.

The rock of my strength.

And my refuge is in God.

Desire of All Nations

 Haggai 2:7

and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts

Whom I have created for My glory!

Isaiah 43:7

Everyone who is called by My name,
Whom I have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”

The Lord is over many waters.

Psalm 29:3

The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders;
The Lord is over many waters.
