THE WISDOM OF WAITING ON GOD—Psalm 130. During hard times, it’s easy to wonder why the Lord is taking so long to bring relief. Like the psalmist, we cry to God “out of the depths” for help (Psalm 130:1), but as time drags on, we may be tempted to take matters into our own hands. Believers, however, are not to operate as the world does, determining a course of action based on human reasoning or the example of others. Instead, our guidance is to come from God, and our hope is to be in His Word (Psalm 130:5-6). It’s important that we cooperate with Him so the time spent waiting will prove productive and beneficial. God can use such “holding patterns” to reveal sinful behaviors or thinking and to develop new heart attitudes. Waiting can also provide an opportunity to deepen our trust and dependence on Him. And when we follow God’s timetable, He gives us the grace to endure difficult situations with confidence and peace. It’s a blessing to know we’re where God wants us and He’s promised to take care of us. If you’re in God’s waiting room, remember that He is your hope—and in His time He will move you forward. Bible in One Year: Psalm 107-111

Welcome to the month of July, the seventh month in the year 2021. A happy new month to you, your friends and your family

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

OBEDIENCE CHANGES EVERYTHING Luke 5:8-11 Yesterday we read that Peter said yes and then let down his nets. And today we see how the soon-to-be apostle’s plans were irrevocably changed. Fishing was put on hold, and Peter became a disciple of Jesus Christ. Obedience to God never disappoints. Jesus filled Peter’s empty nets with an enormous catch and made him into a “fisher of men.” God can do this with our finances, relationships, or any other area of our life—but He does so in His way and for His purposes. Obeying God makes His power evident in our life. Peter’s “yes” allowed him to witness a miracle. He could have looked at his to-do list and said, “I’m too busy,” or he could have pointed out that he was a fisherman and knew better. But Peter agreed and witnessed the power of God—first in that boat and later in his own life. Obedience helps us understand God and ourselves. Having seen the miracle of the full nets, Peter gained fresh insight into who Jesus was and, by contrast, how he himself was a sinful man. Eventually, he came to acknowledge Jesus as the Christ (Matt. 16:13-17). What is God asking of you today? Listen carefully, say yes, and watch what He accomplishes in and through you.

'Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.' 1 Peter 5:7

TRAINING TO SEE GOD Psalm 16:5-11 When David looked at his life, he saw God’s fingerprints all over it. We, too, should train our eyes to notice indications of our heavenly Father’s presence. But this isn’t a now-and-then kind of thing—it’s a lifestyle. I developed a habit years ago that has helped me do this: Before I go to sleep, I try to recall the events of my day. What I’m really doing is looking for evidence of God at work. How did He guide this decision? Answer this question? Protect me in this situation? Help me in this relationship? Appreciating the Lord’s handiwork etches the reality of His care more deeply in my heart. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” (Matt. 5:8). In other words, those with a clear conscience will cast out unholy thoughts and words, taking them captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). As a result, such believers have a spiritual clarity that makes them more aware of God’s involvement in their circumstances. The evidence of God’s great power is all over your life, if only you will look for it. Viewing the world with wide-open spiritual eyes changes one’s perspective from “I can’t” to “I can because God enables me.” Live confidently, knowing our loving, omnipotent God dwells within you. Bible in One Year: Psalm 76-7

Many are the afflictions of the righteous but THE LORD delivers us from them all. Ps 34:19. “Sometimes we look around and ask ourselves, ‘Why so much warfare?’ But we have to understand that the devil is not fighting us for where we are going but for where GOD is taking us. Battles and wars will be part and parcel of our language as Christians. We can only live a life of victory because you go through battles. It’s all about trusting GOD. The battle belongs to THE LORD. HIS PRESENCE will go with us. HIS STAFF AND HIS ROD will comfort us. HE will appear in the furnace as the fourth man.” Glory Hallelujah! Amen!!

Children are a gift - an amazing blessing from God. Every single day we may find ourselves doing a lot for our kids, loving and caring for them, nurturing, teaching, training, helping, leading, equipping, encouraging, protecting, and so much more. We spend precious hours just living out life, helping with homework, and driving them to activities. We spend money on sports, lessons, and various classes to help them grow and become all they can be, providing opportunities for them to do what they most love in this world. But in the midst of busy, full lives, we have to ask ourselves: Are we praying for our powerful, promise-filled, hope-inspired prayers for our children. Are we praying God’s powerful Word and promises over our childrens lives? I’m freshly aware, and challenged to pray more. There’s a battle over our families today, and the enemy would love nothing more than to destroy all that we hold dear in this life. He’s ruthless and cunning, deceitful and sly. He’ll attack when we’re not watching, he’ll do everything he can to lure our kids his way. Don’t let him win.

"WHAT DO YOU DO?" - There is no one who has in any way every remained passive and received victory There are things that God wants you to have and you cannot get them in this condition It is time to arise!

I secure my borders and I ask the good Lord to protect me and my children in the mighty name of Jesus and the Blood of Jesus purge and cleanse my internal organs and let my body become the temple of the Holy Spirit. Glory Hallelujah!
