daily prayer

     Good morning! How are we faithing? During times of high stress is is important that we maintain our focus. It is important to never stop praying, never stop petitioning God, never forget who we are and who he is. Never forget to KNOW that we will come out the other side of our current circumstances and that we had better seek truth throughout it all. Does that make any circumstance better or easier? Not always man. There are times it gets real bad and we feel like it's over but there are also times when we know in our hearts this current situation is temporary, it may suck but it will end. That realization doesn't necessarily make it any less painful but hope is present and we operate on hope and expectations. We expect the traffic lights to work right so we don't have a wreck. We expect to get what we order at the sandwich shop. We hope to feel better even when the pain seems so bad. We  hope we are treated well and conversely that we respond in kind.  How do we react to those expectations and hopes when they do not unfold as we think they ought to? Ah, there's the meat of this discussion. No matter what position we are in, what befalls us, how we are treated we must maintain our hope in our Father God that is well aware of all things and that we are here in this flesh therefore all the pitfalls that encumber this flesh can be whooped with his power. We need remember that his power made this orb and everything on it and our savior is one and the same and loved us enough to place himself in a position to see it all through our eyes. Man that is love. I wouldn't become a hose clamp, even if I could, just to see how the coolant system works. It's hot under that hood.



“Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:” (Isa 59:1 AV)


“The LORD [is] far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.”
(Pr 15:29 AV)


“The way of the wicked [is] as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.”
 (Pr 4:19 AV)


“But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.”
 (1Jo 2:11 AV)
