One Day at a Time

13 02 2017

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

 

I need to take things one day at a time. My focus should be on today and not worry about what may be way down the road and not in my control. God created this day, this time and place. I can have confidence of the love, grace and peace that will surround me today. I am nurturing my faith and trusting my Creator to be with me. Challenges will come but I am not alone. Opportunities will come to share my love with others, I will respond with an open heart. This is the day that God created. I can approach it with thanksgiving, love and anticipation of everything that it will bring.

Unfailing

7 10 2016

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6 

God is unfailing. God’s love and mercy surround my life. I am grateful. Even when I don’t understand God’s love nurtures and keeps me. Even when I fail, I am not turned away. God is always as close as a prayer; always listening, always ready to forgive, to deliver and to set free.  This consistent source of grace and love empowers my life. God is unfailing and I am eternally thankful.

Trust Him

8 06 2016

You keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”   Isaiah 26:3-4 

Faith is the evidence of things not seen.  This calls us to imagine our situation in a blessed condition even when things may appear to be so far from our prayer.  We have to continue to say, act and move forward according to God’s promises – even when the bank balance is low, the doctors report is negative or other disappointments may come our way.  Even when we don’t understand, we have to have faith and trust that He is working out for our good. Our faithful Father is working on our behalf and He promises to be with us every step of the way.  Our Trust is in the Lord.

Nurturing My Faith

The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.” The Lord answered, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘May you be uprooted and thrown into the sea,’ and it would obey you!  St. Luke 17:5-6

I am nurturing my faith – my process of caring for and encouraging the growth of my solid trust in God.  I recognize that I am on a journey where I make decisions every day that can strengthen or discourage my faith. I choose to believe and trust in God. God is love and God loves me. His plan for me is a path of peace.  The day may bring uncertainty and challenge but I choose to trust in my Heavenly Father.  God is my Strong Tower.  He is my source of peace and strength in the midst of each day and every situation. I can put my full trust in God.  I seek to grow my faith with each experience reflecting on His grace and mercy that has brought me to now.  I am watering and feeding my faith with His Word and the testimonies of other faith travelers.  I am growing, nurturing and expanding my faith in Him. 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6
