The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Psalm 29:11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amen to this verse! I know so many brothers and sisters in Christ can agree whole heartedly. For me this was ever so personal last week when my grandmother was in the hospital. Despite how things looked, how the situation was I knew God was still in control. The very fact I had a peace in my soul was just awesome. It showed me just how deep His love goes. The great thing is no matter how long you walk with Him, spend with Him in prayer, or read His word there is so much more. This reminds me of the song "Enough" by Jeremy Camp. I love how the song says, " And all of you is more than enough for all of me."
I love how in this verse it says He will give strength to His people and bless His people with peace. God gives us strength daily to get through. I know cause some days when I get home and reflect on my day I know it is only because of God. Then in the second part of the verse it says He will bless them with peace. Like I mentioned earlier about last week with my grandmother in the hospital. I know it was God that bless me and my family with peace to make it through. God knows our very needs and will meet them. Thing is people get worried about life. Truth of the matter is we need to just do our best and put the rest in God's hands. He doesn't expect perfection, but He does like direction.
Friends I know the holidays can be stressful,but I send encouragement that God will take care of your needs. God takes care of His own( Psalm 37:25 ). He will never leave us or forsake us, surely goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives( Deuteronomy 31:8, Psalm 23:6 ). So brothers and sisters in Christ remember as it is written I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me( Philippians 4:13 ).
For anyone reading this tonight who has not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior I invite you to do so. Ask Him into your heart and admit your a sinner in need of His forgiveness. Be real with Him and cast all your worries, doubts, and fears at His feet, the feet of mercy for He cares for you( 1 Peter 5:7 ). Repent of your old ways and instead find your identity in Jesus Christ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ). Don't let your past or not being perfect get in the way( Psalm 103:12, Romans 3:23 ). Instead cast yourself upon His mercy( Luke 18:13 ). Remember He is waiting on you with arms wide open( John 3:16 ). In those arms you will find love( John 15:13 ), mercy( Romans 5:6-8 ), forgiveness( 1 John 1:9 ) and a grace that is sufficient( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). Will you choose Him? Will you let Him set you free from the bonds of sin( John 8:36 )? I encourage you to do so. This is the single greatest choice you will ever make. It is a matter of life and death, life and death eternal( John 3:18 ). Don't wait, make the choice tonight( Matthew 24:36 ) !.
God bless,
John W. Whybrew III <><
