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.

The enemy cannot defeat you if he can’t disarm you.

The enemy cannot defeat you if he can’t disarm you.

Ephesians 6:10-20
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.


~~~Reflections~~~

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—  and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,  for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

~~~Prayer~~~

 Lord, Thank you for always keeping me prepared. Completely armed at all times with the whole armor of God. You ready me, in all situations. My enemy cannot defeat me, for he can not disarm me with your armor.  Thank You Jesus

shield of faith

Psalm 18:35-36

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip.

~~~Reflections~~~

God gives you the authority and power to have victory, through Salvation. Jesus Christ.  His very presence surrounds and fills you.

He is like a shield that protects you. No
matter what comes at you, Fear, anxiety, panic attacks or sickness.

Whatever the stronghold that comes against you. God's gentle kindness will be your strength.  Through your faith and His grace your path will be enlarged. A way will be made . His will be done. 

~~~ Prayer ~~~

Mighty are you Oh God. We give thanks for being our shield. Only you are able to reflect off the enemy like a shield.  Thank You Lord the gift of salvation and grace. Amen
