Comfort and Joy with God

LETTING GOD DO HIS WORK

Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

If only we would wait upon God in all things! So often we run ahead of Him, impatient for results. We try to resolve life's problems in our own power and timing instead of God's.

Yes, it's touch to wait when we're hurting and there's no end in sight. We become frustrated and anxious, wishing for an immediate solution. But the Bible tells us to wait. We are to ...

* wait upon God in prayer
*wait upon God with patience
*wait upon God with trust
*wait upon God for His guidance.

To wait upon God does not mean giving up in passive resignation. Rather, it means offering yourself up in active surrender. It's not saying, "I guess I have no choice but to be yanked along." It's saying, "Here I am. Do whatever You desire in me."

Wait upon God, and you will never be disappointed. He is your help and your shield; He will take care of you.

My Own Personal Reflection:

This is so very true! I tried it myself. If we just try to surrender our life and our will to the Lord Jesus, He will be in control of our life and He will fix everything, our life will be smooth sailing and He is for us anytime to help us and save us.

FEAR NOT!

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10

Fear of the unknown...of failure...of pain...of loss. Whatever the reason, fear often leaves you feeling weak and helpless. Here, your heavenly Father lovingly calls your attention to four great truths for those times when fear seizes your heart.

I am with you. Fear has a way of making you feel all alone. But you have God's assurance He is with you. He is at your side.

I am your God. Your companion is no less than God Himself! There is no greater resource you could ask for in your time of need.

I will help you. You're not on your own. You don't have to figure out the solution yourself. God will enable you to carry on.

I will uphold you. The very hand that upholds the entire universe is the same hand that upholds you.
You may be weak, but you will not fall. God is strong and faithful. Fear not!

My Own Personal Reflection:

To fear means to doubt God of His power and love working in our lives.
FEAR NOT! JESUS will never ever leaves our sides at all times.

Just have faith, and this faith can bring us closer to Jesus Christ. To be closed to Him means our salvation.

BE WITH JESUS CHRIST UNTIL THE END!

GROWING A STRONGER FAITH

The God of all grace... after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. - 1 Peter 5:10NIV

Have you ever wished for stronger faith - the kind that is not easily shaken when life gets difficult? Strong faith is a wonderful thing. But what is it that makes a person's faith more enduring? You probably won't like the answer: adversity.

Adversity is to faith what exercise is to the body. Only when you consistently exert your muscles do they develop. And only when you push your body past its limits does it reach new levels of strength.

The same is true about faith. It's only as we persevere through increasingly difficult trials that our faith grows stronger. Prosperity rarely leads to an increase in faith the way suffering does.

While facing adversity is never easy, we can take comfort in knowing that God will never give us more than we can handle. He is a compassionate Father who knows our limits and is always ready to help.

 My Own Personal Reflection:

Friends, many people have the hard time following Father God through His Son Jesus Christ because doing His will is very, very hard. Hard in a sense that before we can find favor in the eyes of God, we will first undergo a lot of adversities and hardships in life to test our faith. Every true children of God passed all these kinds of test and now live in a constant beautiful life as a reward of being so tough and strong dealing with their lives being obedient to God and looking forward to their home in heaven.

My friends, be happy when you experience adversities in life. You are being tested on how far you can go life's ups and downs. Your endurance and determination to succeed awaits rewards soon. Do not quit. Go on. Ask God for help if you think you can't go on too far.

God wants us to determine our strength and our heart to be truly with Him, not only for happy times but for hard times.

We need to passed this way so that we can be ready for the work that God is going to give us later.

Everyone of us has work for God's final plan of saving human lives. This work is too difficult because we are dealing every hearts of different kinds of people especially the unbelievers. We are here convincing people and inviting people to come to Jesus for salvation.

In our day to day work we will be experiencing insults, doubtful hearts, confused hearts, foolish hearts and the hearts that never knew Jesus at all.

We are here to explain to them the truth about the will of God.

So we must be tough and be strong Christians, so we can be successfully do the work that God will give to us.

Please do strengthen your faith so you can help many people and you can also be saved.

God bless us all.

HE KNOWS YOUR NEED

You drew near on the I called on You, and said, "Do not fear!" - Lamentation 3:57

When Abraham and Sarah rejected Hagar, their maid, Hagar took her son and went into the wilderness. Lacking food, water, and shelter, she cried out in despair, for she was sure they would die. God heard her cry and said, "Fear not, for God has heard." - (Genesis 21:17)

When Elijah fled from the wicked queen Jezebel, he was afraid and "prayed that he might die" (1Kings 19:4). God didn't answer that prayer. Instead, He provided Elijah with food and much-needed rest.

No matter how desperate your situation, God hears your cry. Both Hagar and Elijah found themselves in extreme circumstances, and God met them at their point of need. He will do the same for you too. If your prayers have not been answered yet, it's not because God hasn't heard. Remember that He has promised, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5).

Don't ever give up. Wait patiently upon the Lord and trust Him. He hears you, and He knows your need.

My Own Personal Reflection:

My friends, don't be sad. Your prayers to God is never been ignored or neglected. At the right time, He will grant it to you. Be sure that you are just sincere and humble of asking it.Be sure you are asking things for the good of you and for others.

Just be patient to wait in God's time of materializing every request you have made. God knows every perfect time to make every circumstances happen into your life. Just give your 100% trust on Him.

Don't be lazy in praying. Don't always make other people pray for you because you don't have time, your are busy. God wants to hear your own voice, your own heart praising Him, worshiping Him and make petitions on Him.

He loves you so much and He is waiting that you will update Him about your life's activities everyday.

Pray to Jesus Christ now! He is listening anytime!

God bless you always!

ONE DAY AT A TIME

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. - Matthew 6:34

Worry does not lessen our suffering. Nor does it give us the to imagine troubles that do not yet exist - troubles that may never come. We should be grateful, then, that God has hidden the future from us. He mercifully commands us not to worry about what seems to be our lack for the next day, but to rest in His provision for this day.

To us, our future may seem dark and murky, but to our heavenly Father, it's very clear. He knows exactly what is coming, and He is already prepared to give us the help we need at the time we need it - not before.

Are you worried about tomorrow? Give your anxiety to God, He is already there.

My  Own Personal Reflection:

God wants us to trust Him so that we can no longer feel worries,fears and all the negatives in our hearts, whole our lives.

Please trust Him now friends! He knows what's best for us. We will let Him plan for our lives. He sees what's ahead of us.He knows everything, even we are still in the womb of our mothers, He knows what the future brings for us.

So stop worrying now! You are just wasting your time thinking the things that will not happen. Just focus your thinking for God alone. Do things that make Him smile everyday. He knows the desire of your heart and at the right time, He will give it to you, no need for you to ask Him.

We are here on earth to be happy and savor all God's creation. So be happy!

Smile!

God bless us all!

HELP IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE

Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me. - Psalm 50:15

In our moments of despair, Satan wants very much to convince us there is no hope and that God has surely forgotten us. He wants to drive the wedge of doubt between us and God so we might stop seeking, stop believing, and stop trusting.

Yet in Psalm 50:15, God commands us to cry out to Him for help. His deliverance may not come immediately, but it will come. And not that God does not say, "I might deliver you, " but rather, "I will deliver you."

Scripture affirms again and again that God keeps His promises. If you are His child, then this promise applies to you too. It is a promise you can cling to without fear of disappointment, an anchor you can hold firm to no matter how rough the seas of life become.

God does not lack the power to help you. Call upon Him, and He will save you. And when He does, remember to thank and glorify Him.

My Own Personal Reflection:

To all faithful children of God, Father God through His Son Jesus Christ will fulfill His promises. And this is so true. I always experienced it so many times. Anything you ask for in His name will all be granted for His glory. Just love Him and be closed to Him. Everything will be good with Jesus Christ!

In times of troubles Jesus will save us and keep us safe.

All we need is to cling to Jesus alone and Him alone. Because with Him in you, you will never be lost.

THE POWER OF TRUSTING GOD

He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. - Psalm 112:7

Because we live in a fallen world, bad things can and will happen. We never know, from moment to moment, when devastating news or circumstances may hit without warning. And then there are those situations in which we wait with dread, wondering whether the outcome will be favorable or take a turn for the worse.

Psalm 112:7 tells us that those who have placed all their trust in the Lord will remain steadfast when the bad news does come. It's when we rely completely on God that we will not find ourselves shaken. It's when we are fully confident in God's ability to sustain us that a change in our circumstances will not change our poise.

This strength to stand strong comes not form within us, but from our heavenly Father. It comes from our trust in what He can do, not what we can do.

Are you afraid? God is greater than the worst thing that could happen to you. Determine to trust Him, no matter what comes your way. Unwavering faith is the cure to unsettling fear. 

My Own Personal Reflection:

Friends, our earth is like a dome of darkness. We cannot see what's before us. We need someone to lead us to the path that we are taking. We need light so we can see freely the world and its beauty. And that light is Jesus Christ. We only need our full trust to Him. Let Him guide us to the path that we are going to go. The path to His glory.

Friends, please I beg you to never doubt Father God through His Son Jesus Christ. Trust on Him completely. Let Him plan for your life. Let Him control your life until your last breath. God wants us to give and surrender our will to Him, so He can use us to do and continue His plan here on earth of saving human lives.

When God is control. Everything will be in order. Everything will go smoothly as you go journeying your life. Your heart can no longer feel all the negatives: the fear, worries, and other devil''s tools to take you away from God. When Jesus is with you, your heart will be filled with hope, joy, and all the love. You can be more stronger this time and bold. You will never afraid to anyone who will persecute you and insult you because of Jesus.

Friends, please follow my tips. It can help you to be more closer to Jesus Christ.

Be close to Jesus Christ now! He is waiting for you to call Him in prayer.Pray harder and harder everyday.

God bless us all.
