NO ONE CAN HARM US

 

 

Hebrews 13:6

 

 

"So we say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals to do me?" NIV

 

 

"So that we can boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." KJV

 

 

We live in such a frightening and unstable world. It seems reasonable that fear is on the rise and running rampant, even for Christians. But, as Christians, we have this sure hope: Our God is forever watching over us, going with us through all things, and taking care of any circumstance that Satan means for our harm. There is no reason for us to fear anyone, be it world leaders, people in authority, or the people next door, because the Lord is our Helper and is on call 24/7 and for eternity.

 

 

Heavenly Father, how thankful we are that we serve a God who is constantly watching out for us and helping us get through this life. Help us to exercise our faith to conquer the fears that come on us because of the way the world is. We pray this in the name of our Lord Jesus, Amen.

WONDERFUL PEACE

 

John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you, I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." NIV

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." KJV

Peace! What is that? In this world the best we can hope for is a little quiet time from the noise and clamor. Jesus gives us His peace. This is a peace that cannot come from anywhere but Him and He has lavishly poured it out on us because He loves us. However, we have to accept it with humble hearts and gratitude. Then we will be able to experience that awesome peace within that never hides or goes away no matter what is going on around us. If we keep our eyes on Him and acknowledge His peace within us, all our fears and inner struggles will fade away. The power and presence of His peace will guard us and keep us in Him. In Him, there is love, peace, and joy.

Heavenly Father, we seem to let the troubles of this world overpower our hearts and minds, and we worry and fret about tomorrow. Forgive us for not accepting Your gracious gift of peace that You long for us to have. Clear our minds of the clatter and fears of this world and help us soak up Your wonderful peace, so that it will rule in our hearts, not fear and worries. In Jesus' holy name we pray, Amen.

HIS WAY IS THE HIGHWAY

 

Isaiah 55:9

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."NIV

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."KJV

It is human nature for us to play out in our minds how the Lord is going to work in our situations. And then we are surprised at how He does it, a way we would never have thought. It shows us that God's ways are much different than ours. How different? His ways are a greater distance than the heavens are from the earth, which by the way, scientist have not been able to measure. When we ask God why, or wonder what He is doing, we can let our faith kick in full and just trust Him. He is in control.

Heavenly Father, forgive us for questioning what You are doing or not doing. Help us to strengthen our faith so that in any situation, although we may not understand, we will know that You are working in Your way, not ours. In Jesus' name, Amen.

BEING PATIENT

We can rest with acceptance and satisfaction in all that God is
doing. He has planned everything and is working it out in His own
time and His own way. Wait and see! He will be glorified and all
things will turn out for our good. We don't need to get uneasy or
upset by the success of ungodly people, for they will reap what
they sow.

Heavenly Father, we acknowledge that Your ways are right and
just. Help us to be quiet and confident that You will be glorified
and we will be able to share in Your glory if we hold fast to our
faith in You. In Jesus' name.

Read Psalm 37:7

"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret
when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their
wicked schemes." (NIV)

"Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself
because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man
who bringeth wicked devices to pass." (KJV)
