In His Steps
Be careful of thy words

BELOVED, IF OUR HEART DOES NOT CONDEMN US, WE HAVE CONFIDENCE TOWARD GOD. AND WHATEVER WE ASK WE RECEIVE FROM HIM, BECAUSE WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND DO THOSE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT. 1 JOHN 3:21-22 *NKJV
Now would you change the way that you live if you knew that God knew all of your thoughts, heard all of your words, and knew all the desires of your heart? Well, He does for it is written: THE LORD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF MAN, THAT THEY ARE FUTILE. For He even; KNOWS THE SECRETS OF THE HEART. PSALM 94:11 & PSALM 44:21
Now when we try our best to have pure thoughts and desires and follow the Commandments put forth by God, we often get our prayers answered. For it is written: THE EFFECTIVE FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILS MUCH. JAMES 5:16
So, when you speak be careful of the words you use, and keep them soft and sweet. For we are to always ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER AND BUILD EACH OTHER UP. Most of all, always think before you speak so that: THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH AND THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART BE ACCEPTABLE IN YOUR SIGHT, O LORD, MY STRENGTH AND MY REDEEMER. Amen! 1 THESSALONIANS 5:11 & PSALM 19:14
Now, have a great day and may it be filled with blessings indeed!

I WILL LOVE YOU, O LORD, MY STRENGTH. THE LORD IS MY ROCK AND MY FORTRESS AND MY DELIVERER; MY GOD, MY STRENGTH, IN WHOM I TRUST; MY SHIELD AND THE HORN OF MY SALVATION, MY STRONGHOLD. PSALM 18:1-2 *NKJV
God is always with us through thick or thin because none of life’s problems are to powerful for Him. I will love to share this Holy Alphabet with you.

Do your best to live by God’s commandments

WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. HEBREWS 11:6 *NKJV
God rewards us with blessings that continue to please us, so we should do our best to please God as well! After all then, “BLESSED YOU SHALL BE IN THE CITY, AND BLESSED YOU SHALL BE IN THE COUNTRY.” DEUTERONOMY 28:3
Now we can do that by obeying His Commandments and by loving our neighbor’s as ourselves. For Jesus Christ said, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND. THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT. AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT: YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.” MATTHEW 22:39-40
So, do your best to live by God’s Commandments, and share your love with others so; THAT YOU MAY WALK WORTHY OF THE LORD, FULLY PLEASING HIM, BEING FRUITFUL IN EVERY GOOD WORK AND INCREASING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. For when you do, His blessings will flow abundantly to you! After all it is written that WHEN A MAN’S WAYS PLEASE THE LORD, HE MAKES EVEN HIS ENEMIES TO BE A PEACE WITH HIM. Amen. COLOSSIANS 1:10 & PROVERBS 16:7
Have a wonderful day.

HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTISEMENT FOR OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. ISAIAH 53:5 *NKJV
Indeed we are healed of our transgressions, and iniquities through the forgiveness of our sins. For it is written; HE HAS DELIVERED US FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS AND CONVEYED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF THE SON OF HIS LOVE, IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. COLOSSIANS 1:13-14
When we think about how much forgiveness God shows oward mankind, let us remember the words of our Savior Jesus Christ, as he hung on the cross, “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DO.” So let those words be an example for you when you find yourself angry with another! LUKE 23:34
After all it is also written: IF YOU FORGIVE MEN THEIR TRESPASSES, YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL ALSO FORGIVE YOU. BUT IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE MEN THEIR TRESPASSES, NEITHER WILL YOUR FATHER FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES. MATTHEW 6:14-15
So, if you have been angered by another, why not try to forgive them instead of holding a grudge. After all your heart and mind will be at peace when you do! Amen.
Have a wonderful day.
Walk by Faith not by sight.

BE FAITHFUL, EVEN TO THE POINT OF DEATH, AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE CROWN OF LIFE. Revelation 2:10 *NIV
There are many times in this life when our faith is put to the test. Times that we may even feel that God has abandoned us because a prayer isn’t answered the way we want it to be. Know that it is written: THOUGH NOW FOR A LITTLE WHILE YOU MAY HAVE HAD TO SUFFER GRIEF IN ALL KINDS OF TRIALS. THESE HAVE COME SO THAT YOUR FAITH–OF GREATER WORTH THAN GOLD, WHICH PERISHES EVEN THOUGH REFINED BY FIRE–MAY PROVE GENUINE AND MAY RESULT IN PRAISE, GLORY AND HONOR WHEN JESUS CHRIST IS REVEALED. 1 Peter 1:6-7
Also know that sometimes what we pray for isn’t God’s will for us thus: THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE WE HAVE IN APPROACHING GOD: THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARS US. 1 John 5:14-15
Sometimes what we pray for would actually hurt us in the long run, and our Heavenly Father is protecting us from that. Other times we just can’t understand God’s ways for NO ONE KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF GOD EXCEPT THE SPIRIT OF GOD. 1 Corinthians 2:11
However, we do know He loves us very much, and would never abandoned us or deliberately hurt us. So we must keep our faith knowing that God is with us and that no matter what happens He is in control! Therefore it is important that WE WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT. ( 2 Corinthians 5:7 ) trusting that God knows what is best for us, even if a prayer isn’t answered the way we want it to be! Amen.
Have a wonderful day.
