THE REFUGE. THE STRENGTH

  God is our refuge and our strength, a present help in time of need.  Psalm 46:1

When the whole world seems to be crumbling around us, there is a refuge.  When things are changing so fast we feel unable to find stability, there is strength.  When the river of life, in which our journey flows, becomes a raging rapid and a tumultuous flooding tirade of trouble and we cannot see beyond the bends and the rocks, there is help right now and right here in our present day.

Trouble never takes God by surprise.  Though we may feel unprepared, unsure, insignificant, insane and out of control in this small raft or our own abilities, a Strong and Almighty hand is reaching toward us, offering us the stability and shelter of the Solid Rock.  That Rock is still Jesus the Christ. He knows our circumstances.  He knows our insecurities.  He knows our weakness, and He knows our inabilities.  Indeed... He knows more about us and our flaws than we know ourselves.  Now because He lives, even in our most difficult struggles, we can also live. He offers us peace and the ability to overcome whatever is trying to take us down.  His death and resurrection offer us eternal salvation.  His Hand is stretched out to us right now in the present.  What is important is that we believe this sincerely and reach "up" to Him our "out" to Him and allow Him to rescue us.

Take time today to read all of this ancient Psalm. Reflect on it.  Be still with it. Examine all the "stuff" the psalmist had apparently experienced.  Think about how he felt as He knew He had God to turn to as life clearly overwhelmed him.  Then take some time, not to get busy, but to "be still and know God."  Literally this means be still and experience God.  When we take time to be alone with Him and still with Him, then we will see that God will be exalted, even over our "stuff."

No matter what you are experiencing today...
Be Blessed 2day...Especially 2day.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
