Trust The Lord

This is such a hard time for all of us to be separated that I hope to bring some encouragement to you on a more frequent basis by sending out emails.  

Today, I want to say how much you are all missed by me and I believe all women of Foothills.  I believe God made us women to be social and to rely on each other for fellowship.  This is so true when I look at our Bible Study, that has been such a blessing.

I read this recently and I want to share it with you:

“The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.  What can mere people do to me?” Psalm 118:6 NLT

I want to believe this, I try to believe it.  During this time of separation and uncertainty, we can get frightened or overwhelmed by our circumstances.  I can forget Who is for me (us)

            The Maker of Heaven and Earth is for us. ~ Psalm 146:6
           
            The King of Glory is for us. ~ Psalm 24:8

            The Sovereign Lord is for us. ~ Psalm 68:19-20

            The Creator of the universe is for us. ~ Genesis 1:1

            Our Great God is for us. ~ Psalm 95:3

            The Most High is for us. ~ Psalm 91:1

            Our Compassionate Lord is for us. ~ Psalm 116:5

            The Prince of Peace is for us. ~ Isaiah 9:6

            The Healer is for us. ~ Psalm 147:3

            Our Unchanging Father is for us. ~ James 1:17

            The Promises Keeper is for us. ~ 2 Peter 3:9

            The Ultimate Forgiver is for us. ~ 1 John 1:9

When we read God’s word we will be encouraged and filled with faith, not fear.  Hope, not despair.  I am challenging myself and you to find scriptures that uplift and speak to you about faith and hope.  

Let me know how you are doing.  I love you and care.  You are all special to our body!  REMEMBER THAT!

God Bless,

Spiritual Discernment

Image
I have been thinking about discernment lately. The dictionary defines discernment as  “The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment” With the amount of information that has been given to us the past 2-3 months on the Corona Virus, discernment has been increasingly important.       “Is the virus real?”       “Who is at risk?  Am I at risk?”       “Should we stay home?”  “Is it OK to go grocery shopping?”       “Should we wear masks?”       “Is it all a conspiracy to control us?” All of these questions and concerns have come at us from TV and newspaper, social media and friends.  I have gone from feeling fear to having faith, from extreme concern to throwing caution to the wind, from anxiety to confidence.   All ‘feelings’.  After praying and reading the word, I am able to put those feelings aside and trust the Lord.  This is my guiding scripture:      “Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on you       own understanding.  In

No Fear

As I was reading my Bible today, Psalm 18:1-2 popped out at me.  This is a Psalm of David  that he sang to the Lord after the Lord rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul. He sang: “I love you, Lord; you are my strength. (2)The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.  He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.”  This is such a good word of reassurance and encouragement. Have you ever felt afraid and powerless?  Frightened of a situation or for a loved one?  I have.   I have not been fearful for my life by another person, but there have been accidents and illnesses that have caused me to be afraid. There have been times not knowing about the safety of a loved one that has caused anxiety and feelings of impending tragedy.  Sometimes it was warranted and sometimes it was my mind imagining the worst.  My mind can go from OK to the worst case scenario in a matter of seconds!   During those times I need to reme

Salvation: A Gift From God

Image
 Salvation: The theological definition is “ Deliverance from the power or penalty of sin; redemption.” “F or Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” Romans 10:13 NIV As I look up the many scriptures on salvation, I am so uplifted and blessed. I am not a theologian.  I do not search the scriptures for deep meanings.  I mostly read what it says and believe it.  I know if I study the Greek and Hebrew I will find deeper insight. Occasionally I do that. Romans 10:9-10 NIV “I f you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  (10)For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” I know there are scriptures that tell us why we won’t go to heaven but I believe My God is a God of grace and mercy and knows our hearts. Romans 3:23-25 NLT tells us “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious stan
