THE STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD, AND HE DELIGHTS IN HIS WAY. THOUGH HE FALL, HE SHALL NOT BE UTTERLY CAST DOWN; FOR THE LORD UPHOLDS HIM WITH HIS HAND. PSALM 37:23-24 *NKJV
Now when we first learned to walk, we often fell down, but did we stay down? NO, we reached out to the extended hand of our mother or father, who helped us back on our feet. This happened often until we finally learned to walk on our own.
We can learn to walk with our Heavenly Father’s helping hand the very same way! For then when we fall, we can reach out to God through prayer, and accept His merciful helping hand as well! After all it is written; THE LORD LIFTS UP THE HUMBLE; HE CASTS THE WICKED DOWN TO THE GROUND. PSALM 147:6
Also written; HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER YOU, TO KEEP YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS. IN THEIR HANDS THEY SHALL BEAR YOU UP, LEST YOU DASH YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE. PSALM 91:11-12
So, walk with God everyday and you will find; THE LORD YOUR GOD IN YOUR MIDST, HE WILL REJOICE OVER YOU WITH GLADNESS, HE WILL QUIET YOU WITH HIS LOVE, HE WILL REJOICE OVER YOU WITH SINGING. ZEPHANIAH 3:17
Now my friend, have a great day knowing that the loving hand of God is always there ready to help you, no matter what you may face! Amen.
Cast your cares on the LORD

Jesus said; “COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND BURDENED, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU AND LEARN FROM ME, FOR I AM GENTLE AND HUMBLE IN HEART, AND YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. FOR MY YOKE IS EASY AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT.” MATTHEW 11:28-30 *NIV
As you may/already know, it is hard to find any rest with so many trials, tribulations, conflicts, and burdens in our lives today. However when we follow Jesus, He will provide us with rest and make our burdens lighter. For; THE LORD UPHOLDS ALL THOSE WHO FALL AND LIFTS UP ALL WHO ARE BOWED DOWN. PSALM 145:14
So when you feel stressed; CAST YOUR CARES ON THE LORD AND HE WILL SUSTAIN YOU; HE WILL NEVER LET THE RIGHTEOUS FALL. PSALM 55:22 . After all; GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, AN EVER-PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE. PSALM 46:1
Also remember that; BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO PERSEVERES UNDER TRIAL, BECAUSE WHEN HE HAS STOOD THE TEST, HE WILL RECEIVE THE CROWN OF LIFE THAT GOD HAS PROMISED TO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. JAMES 1:12
Therefore; PRAISE BE TO THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER OF COMPASSION AND THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT, WHO COMFORTS US IN ALL OUR TROUBLES, SO THAT WE CAN COMFORT THOSE IN ANY TROUBLE WITH THE COMFORT WE OURSELVES HAVE RECEIVED FROM GOD. Amen. 2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-4
Now, have a wonderful day that is filled with “Peace,” and SMILE for after all God Loves You!
Let your LIGHT shine before men.

YOU WERE ONCE DARKNESS, BUT NOW YOU ARE LIGHT IN THE LORD. LIVE AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT, FOR THE FRUIT OF THE LIGHT CONSISTS IN ALL GOODNESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH. EPHESIANS 5:8-9 * NIV
As Childern of Light our actions shoul reflect our faith, and shine brightly to others. We should never be afraid to show our faith no matter where we are, or who we are with. After all we are beacons of God’s Love shining out into dark World that is searching for love in all the wrong places. A World that is full of people without love, hope and faith.
Therefore our Savior Jesus Christ stressed this truth in the Sermon on the Mount, for He said “YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A CITY ON A HILL CANNOT BE HIDDEN. NEITHER DO PEOPLE LIGHT A LAMP AND PUT IT UNDER A BOWL. INSTEAD THEY PUT IT ON ITS STAND, AND IT GIVES LIGHT TO EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE.” MATTHEW 5:14-15
Further, you probably have known people that seem to light up a room when they enter, well, IN THE SAME WAY, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD DEEDS AND PRAISE YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. MATTHEW 5:16
Now you may be thinking “my light is a dim one.” Well, I believe that our dim light is magnified by the immense mirror of God’s Love. Thus it truly shines brightly when we tell others about our Heavenly Father, and show goodness toward the people in our lives! So try it today and see for yourself, for if everyone would light just one little candle what a bright World this would be! Amen
Let Christ’s Love dwell in you.

TEACHER, WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW? JESUS SAID TO HIM, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE 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 22:36-40 *NKJV
In the top verse Jesus quoted from DEUTERONOMY 6:5 and LEVITICUS 19:18. By fulfilling these two commands, a person may keep all of the others. For these two summarize the Ten Commandments, as well as, the Old Testament moral laws as well!
The Apostle John summed it up this way: BELOVED, IF GOD SO LOVED US, WE ALSO OUGHT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. 1 JOHN 4:11
This is why it is so important in our walk of Faith, that we become living examples of Christ’s Love! For when we mirror that Great Love, it actually plants the seeds of Faith in others, thus helping them to achieve Eternal Life with our Heavenly Father. There is no greater gift that you can give to someone!
Now by giving this gift it pleases God and all of the Company of Heaven, for it is written: THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS. LUKE 15:10
Christ, in His lifetime showed love to all. As His likeness, we also ought to do the same to one another.
So, have a wonderful day, and please take the time to do a little planting!
I will counsel and watch over you, saith the Lord.

THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS-YOUR REDEEMER, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL: “I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, WHO TEACHES YOU WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU, WHO DIRECTS YOU IN THE WAY YOU SHOULD GO. ISAIAH 48:17 *NIV
When we turn our life and will over to the care of GOD, He will guide us on the journey to become the person that we were meant to be. For He has promised; I WILL INSTRUCT YOU AND TEACH YOU IN THE WAY YOU SHOULD GO; I WILL COUNSEL YOU AND WATCH OVER YOU. PSALM 32:8
Now in the process of becoming that person, our life will be filled with love, hope, faith and fulfillment, as we have never known before! The emptiness we felt before will be filled to overflowing! We will then start looking at life differently, and loving every moment of it. This is because; IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; THE OLD HAS GONE, THE NEW HAS COME! 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
Therefore, I pray that you are on that journey right now, and feel these changes within yourself! If not, today is a great day to start that journey! Just tell God that you are ready, and; THE LORD WILL GUIDE YOU ALWAYS; HE WILL SATISFY YOUR NEEDS IN A SUN-SCORCHED LAND AND WILL STRENGTHEN YOUR FRAME. YOU WILL BE LIKE A WELL WATERED GARDEN, LIKE A SPRING WHOSE WATERS NEVER FAIL. Amen ISAIAH 58:11
Have a great week!
