God Will Never Let Go of Us

 Good Morning,


I hope today finds you well and discovering hope in this season of our lives.

A couple of weeks ago, the worship team led us in a Matt Redmond song:  You Never Let Go.
This song is based on Psalm 23.  We don’t need to fear evil. 
 Psalm 23:4 NKJV “I will fear no evil for You are with me…”

I love the words to the entire song, but the chorus I especially love
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

It brings comfort and hope to know God NEVER lets go of us.  We may not always have the connection with God we would like, but He is always connected to us.  He is always waiting for us to come to Him and trust Him with our highs, our lows, our storms and troubles.
 Matthew 14:30,31 NLT  But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “ Save me, Lord!” Peter shouted. (31)Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him  “You have so little faith,” Jesus said.  “Why do you doubt me?” 
Joshua 1:9 NLT “This is my command---be strong and courageous!  Do not be afraid or discouraged.  For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

These hard times will all end eventually and we will see Him face to face.  
Hebrews 10:37 TLV  “For yet, in a very little while, the Coming One will come, and He will not delay.”

By trusting that He will never let us go, we can praise Him.  Psalm 71:6b TPT  ……”You’ve made me into a miracle; no wonder I trust you and praise you forever!”

I am reminded of Michelangelo’s painting of God reaching His finger to connect to Adam.  I don’t begin to understand what Michelangelo was thinking, but that painting has always said to me “God wants to connect with us and never lets go of us”.  Between that painting and Matt Redmond’s lyrics, and of course many scriptures, I am assured of God’s love for us and that He Will Never Let Go!
                                                       



Romans 8:38 NLT  “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.  Neither death nor life, neither angels not demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow--not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. “

Stay Well, Stay Safe

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

Advent Week 4 - Love

Image
  Happy Christmas Eve Day,                                                   December 24, 2021 It is hard for me to believe it is Christmas again.   As I sit here looking at my Christmas tree in my new home I truly feel incredibly blessed.   It has been an amazing year for us. As I continue looking at Advent, the fourth week of Advent is the Angel Candle or candle of Love.   As Believers in Jesus, we know the Christmas Celebration is about Jesus and His love for us.   He left His Father to come to earth as a baby born in a humble stable.   We celebrate His birth and later His resurrection because our faith is based on this belief.   It is only because of His love for us that He was willing to live a human life.   Our love for Him acknowledges our acceptance and belief in Jesus as our Savior.   The middle white candle is traditionally lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.   It is the Christ Candle.   It is the Christ Candle because it is only in Christ that we find the Hope, P
