Scriptures, in order in which they were written, taken from the book of Psalms:

Psalms  34: 1,2,17,18,19 -  37: 3,4,16 -  40:8,9,10, -  44:8,9,10  - 40:1,2,3, -  37:23,24  -  55:22

He's Never Late...

God’s Time

It’s hard sometimes to understand, God’s great, all knowing and mighty hand.

We see our world in limited view, knowing our need; at least we think we do.

We do our best to live obediently, without complaint, expediently.

Not comparing ourselves to one another, not being jealous of sister or brother.

Somehow, some way, hard as we try, we just can’t help but wonder why;

God seems to have overlooked our need, and still has neglected to water our seed.

As hard as it is to understand, God’s great, all knowing and mighty hand.

Let us remember his motive is pure love, he looks over us all, from his throne above.

His vision encompasses our entire life, from beginning to end, every joy; every strife.

He knows the plans he has for us, they are good not evil, in this we must trust.

Knowing down deep within our hearts, through all the tears and false starts;

God’s Word is ever and always true; HE will always see his promises through.

If we fully delight ourselves in Him, not just in part, he will give us the desires of our heart.

Keep on .....believing!!!

Are you believing God for a loved one?

Trusting the Lord for promises He has made to you?

Be encouraged...and remember that,

"the Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

Thank You Lord

By: Amy Colleen

I keep on asking. I pray every day.

On your promise oh Lord, my faith is stayed.

Though not manifested yet, are your promises to me.

I know they are true even if I cannot see.

For in your word you tell me, if in you I believe,

That all my household too ~ shall be set free.

I believe in you. I believe in you. I believe in you my Lord.

I lift up my husband, my children to you. I believe in you my Lord.

Spiritual Warfare

Ephesians 6:1-18

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."


Hebrews 13:5 ".....for He himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you."


The ultimate price has been paid. "Let us therefor come boldly to the throne of grace, that we might obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need." Hebrews 4:16




In the heat of battle - in the fire of the Master's Kiln


We may often times feel alone but we need to remember the truth is we are never alone.

Jesus promised He would never leave us nor forsake us that He would be with us until the end of the age.
Hebrews 13 & Matthew 28

But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

A Walk Through a Moment of Temptation

1Cor.: 10:13 “No temptation has seized you except that which is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond that which you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide you a way out so that you can stand firm under it.”
Eph.: 612 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world.”
