He knows you…

O Lord,
You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thoughts afar off.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me,O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
Psalm 139:1~2,17~18

I’m in a praising mood today. With it being close to Easter, I can’t help but think of all that Jesus endured and just how much He loved us.

I’ve drifted away and let my thoughts just center on the absolute love of God and just to know His thoughts toward us are more than grains of sand. We are so important that He understands our thoughts and knows the exact moment we rise and sleep.

I’ve looked all my life for a love like this and to of found it, is more than I can say!

Be swept away today by God…let it be just you and Him today!

do you Hear?

With Adam God spoke face to face.  With Elijah, He spoke in a whisper.  Paul heard Him speak from a blinding light.  Samuel didn’t recognize His voice at first; but once he knew it was God, he was ready for His message.

Have you heard God’s voice lately? In the loudness of life we may not hear Him calling.  But He does beckon us – in our conscience and in the depths of our heart; when we read His word and when we pray

Take time to read and hear His voice today…Read 1st Samuel 3

I read this from I Want A Godly Marriage from Facebook…and it meant so much that I wanted to share it!

Be Blessed!

walk boldly into GRACE

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.~ Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)

If it wasn’t for God’s grace I know that I would not be here. It it wasn’t for His grace, I know that I wouldn’t receive the help that He gives me. I wasn’t worth laying at His feet, but through His son, Jesus, He made me worthy. He made me new and through Him I am able to come boldly to His feet and ask for wisdom, ask for help, and for the answers to my questions. His grace has given me more than I could ever ask for.

Let us today walk boldly before the Lord and experience His grace.

Grace….such a beautiful thing!

Thank you my God and my Savior!

Be Blessed!

we have a Fighter

Have you ever wanted someone to stand beside you? Someone to fight for you? Someone to run too? Maybe a warrior or a soldier? Maybe it’s someone simple, like your parents, best friends, or even your spouse. I have wanted that myself. Though I am a single parent, and I wish to be married again someday, I have found that I have someone greater than anyone I could wish for or run too.

He has known me even before I was born and has been waiting on me to run to him, I just didn’t know it at the time. When I rededicated my life back to God a few years ago, I was hit with a lot of things. The devil tried to bring me down and tell me I would never matter, but I came across a scripture that shows me that I have a warrior that is ready to fight for me and all I have to do is hold my peace! Praise The Lord!!

Just as He fought for the children of Israel, He will fight for you and for me. He is the same fighter, the same warrior, the same commander, and the same God as He was so many years ago. When the enemy is attacking with his tricks and sly remarks, remember and hold to this, that you have a commander that will fight for you. All we have to do is let Him and give Him us.

The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.~ Exodus 14:14 (KJV)

Remember today that you have a fighter that will defend you from the enemy. That all you have to do is stay at peace. Remain in Him and His Word, His peace, His love and He will fight for you! Let Him conquer those traps, let Him break down those walls, let Him ease those doubts!

we have a FIGHTER!

Be Blessed Today!

do you have Faith?

The Bible makes a pretty bold statement when it says this:

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and he is a rewarded of them that diligently seek him~ Hebrews 11:6

So I asked myself that same question..” Do I have faith?”….answer is YES!

I know its so hard to have faith on something that we don’t see or find it hard to believe, but we believe and see with our spirit, our heart. God is all around us and without Him, it really is impossible to do anything. I have found this out the hard way. Life without Him has no direction and will lead to destruction. Yet, with our faith comes growth and strongness, and God will reward those that continually seek after Him!

So I ask you today…Do you have Faith?

stand….

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but of the power of God ~ 1st Corinthians 2:5

Let us learn to put our faith in the power of the cross, and not into the persuasive words of men, for they will not fulfill you!

For we may be in this world, but  don’t have to be of this world!

Let us stand on the promise of Christ!

Have a blessed evening,
Amanda

keep away….

1 John 5:21 NLT

Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your heart.

God loves His children so much that He wants to be the first thing in their lives. He wants our hearts and our focus centered around him. He tells us to stay away from idols and worldly things so we can remain in Him and and His path. Things of this world can get us off course and lead us destruction. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. This is why God gives us instruction to stay away from wickedly things.

Let’s heed to God’s instruction and play keep away!

Happy Spring

Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV

It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

He makes all things new again

Happy Spring!

wait…..

Wait patiently for the LORD.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the LORD~
Psalm 27:14 NLT

Wait….such a small word that packs a huge meaning.

What does it mean to wait? It means to stand and let God work! It means to stand and let God move, answer, bless, heal, do what His will is for our problem and our life. It means to stand and be patient, to seek out God and be strong and courageous in  your prayers, seeking, and your walk.

Its hard because this old flesh just wants to rise up and fix what we have asked God to fix and help in, but if we seek Him, pray, and Listen for His answers, He will answer right on time!

Let’s stand and be courageous, and wait patiently for the Lord!

God Bless,
Amanda
