Depending on God

In the midst of pressures and busyness, firm belief in a good and loving God is the only road to vibrant living.

Strength through weakness:

1 Corinthians 1:28 (New International Version)

²⁸ God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,


God promises he will:

Hear your prayer-

Psalm 18:6 (New International Version)

 ⁶ In my distress I called to the LORD;
   I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
   my cry came before him, into his ears

Refine you-

Zechariah 13:9 (New International Version)

⁹ This third I will put into the fire;
   I will refine them like silver
   and test them like gold.
They will call on my name
   and I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’
   and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”

Give you refuge-

Isaiah 4:5-6 (New International Version)

⁵ Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory^[a] will be a canopy. ⁶ It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.

Meet your needs as you seek him-

Matthew 6:33 (New International Version)

³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well


I have a index card on my wall in my bedroom that says "Shine through me and be so in me that every soul i come in contact with may feel thy presence."  -Mother Teresa  I read it in the mornings before i start my day!

~To think about~

When things go your way,  do you give praise to God for he is the giver of all good gifts?

Do you ever wait for hard times to come before you turn to God for help?

God rewards those who seek him. It is very pleasing to Him.   Live by Faith!

Dear God, I give you every fear and uncertainty along with every success and good thing and trust You to provide the strength and grace I need to depend on You in all situations in my life.  Amen~
