If GOD be for us,..........

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 

Romans 8:31

We are God's beloved people, He does not joke with us at all. We are too valuable to Him and so If God is for us, who dares stand against us. The enemy will try his usual tactics i.e oppression, hitting believers on every side with life's issues such as family problems, marital problems, finance and the list goes on, but when you know the God you serve is always on your side, you will have no need to fear the perils of this world. Why? because His word reminds us in verses 35-39 of Romans 8 that absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of God.    At the end of the day, the enemy loses the battle and can not rob us of our joy because the Lord God has the final say over our lives. So beloved sister and friend, be encouraged today, appreciate how much you are worth to God, do not let anything or anyone stand in your way. Remember that God is always on your side and you are His temple. I will leave you with this scripture verse among many to remind you how much God values you and fights for you.

"Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple." 1 Corinthians 3:16-17

Be Encouraged today my friend, the Lord is on your side.

Thoughtful Living

Psalm 25:8-15

I pray this message blesses your life today.

Are you living thoughtfully and intentionally—or are you living automatically? It’s so easy to get up each morning, do our work, enjoy some relaxation or entertainment, and fall into bed each night without giving any thought to God’s involvement in our everyday life. But to be ignorant of how He has blessed, guided, protected, and warned us is a foolish way to live. Just consider the benefits of keeping our spiritual eyes and ears open throughout the day.

We who are aware of God’s presence during daily activities enjoy the peace of knowing He’s always in control and working to achieve His good purposes. Day-to-day experiences with Him teach us to know and love Him more.

When we learn to see God’s footprints throughout each week, we will become aware of the scope of His involvement in His children’s lives. Maybe He strengthened us for a task or opened a door of opportunity. Perhaps He guided our decisions or helped us respond in a godly way to a difficult person or a challenging situation.

If our ears are open to the Lord’s warnings and instructions, we won’t repeat the same mistakes again and again. But if we remain deaf to His voice, we run the risk of continuing in unhealthy thought patterns, negative emotions, and foolish responses.

Each night before you go to sleep, take some time to reflect on the day’s activities. The heavenly Father is constantly with you, guarding and guiding your way. He wants you to see Him in everything and understand life from His perspective as you rely on His wisdom and power to face any challenge.
