Be encouraged!

I hope and pray that today has been good to you,

I had another sleepless night. My wife and I are trying to eat better. I have not have enough carbohydrates and one of the side effects is insomnia. Furthermore, I still dealing with a stomach issues. Ok, let us move on to the topic of this blog.

Two verses were revealed to me today by the Holy Spirit. Psalm 27:14 & Jeremiah 29:11. Psalm 27:14, David encourages us to, " Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD."  Waiting for the LORD is not easy especially in this "microwave" world we live in. Being strong, what does that mean? For me it means being spiritually strong. How do we get "spiritually strong?" I believe by praying/talking with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and reading the Word on a regular basis. Then there is "take heart." In my opinion, in means to be courageous!

Jeremiah 29:11, the LORD states, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." What marvelous plans the LORD has for all who know Him! As I was going through my cancer treatments, to honest with you, this verse seemed miles away from me. Even now, with all my trials and pain, this promise feels out of reach for me. Yet, I understand that every word in the Bible is true and every promise of the LORD will come to fruition! This is where Psalm 27:14 comes in to assure us that if we, "Wait for the LORD: be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD," He will keep all His promises! 

Be encouraged today!

I hope we all have "Sweet Dreams tonight!

Psalm 30:5

Good day wherever you may be,

Our verse for today is found in Psalm 30:5, "Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."   Last night was a night of "weeping" and calling out to God. I have been through so much pain in the last fifteen years! 

Today, God has shown me His lovingkindness! He did it through His Word and through the notes I have written over the years. "But rejoicing comes in the morning." Oh thank God that He knows me so well! 

Let us remind ourselves as we go through the long sleepless nights, which usually includes crying, that God is with us! When the sun rises and we seek God, He restores us and brings joy back into our hearts!

God knows us better than we know ourselves! We cannot use up all the love He has for us! God wants us to give Him all our desires and all our pains. 

Again, I am overwhelmed by God's grace, mercy, love, and patience with me!

I am His,

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!
