My Light Source





'The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?' Psalm 27:1
 
'Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.' Isaiah 60:1

'Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me.' Micah 7:8

'What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?' Romans 8:31

'The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?' Psalm 118:6 (NKJV)

This morning, a thought on a theme; God's love and protection. Not just this morning, but every morning! The theme of my life is being played out right in front of me and I can see it with my own eyes. Fingers speak!

Why not find comfort in Him? Why not fill my mind this morning with thoughts of my Lord and my Redeemer? Sleep? Evasive. Overrated. So, I run to Him with open arms and invite Him into this place of sanctuary with my praises.

His gracious presence calms me. His light is my guide and His mighty power sustains me and is my source of strength. No one or nothing else will do. I've tried. All else have failed. I found. This prevails.

His promises keep me now and forever. There You are! I know You hear me. Your Spirit speak! In You I find peace and security and meaning. I shall not fear. Light! Eternal and that to be soon enough. Excellence. Dependable. Just. True. Guiding and directing. Never suspicious or demanding. The Glory! The Lord's Glory. You have risen and Your Glory is upon me! Hallelujah. Nothing but Your Love and that mingled with my faith is all I need.

Darkness is but for a little while. I contemplate hope during this season. I consider from where I have come. Out of the darkness You saved me. You have brought me out of darkness and rescued me from many things and took me to this place. Now I find my rest in You. Even now I look forward to a new day in You. Great God! I will praise Your name forever.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
