The Word

Right now as life throws a ton of junk on my shoulders...and heavy rocks in my backpack... I am thinking of the promises in God's word... and trying to recall them and trust in them...and believe in them --when the enemy would have me focused on other thoughts... is this easy...NOPE... is it necessary and vital for my warfare, for my spiritual and emotional healing, for my growth ... YES...

God's word reminds me that He is mindful of me...and calls me by name... God's word reminds me that I am to praise Him, even in the lowest and darkest times of my life... God's word tells me that He has the hairs on my head numbered and if He cares about the fallen sparrow, then how much more does He care about me...The awesome word of God tells me that I am to enter His courts with praise and thanksgiving... and I think that means at all times...even when I feel weighed down and not very thankful... because He is worthy! This season shall pass and I'll have learned something more about the Lord and about myself through all of the bumps in my road... And for that I am grateful!

Jesus loves me this I know...for the Bible tells me so-- that is the one I'm focusing on the most right now...just knowing that Jesus loves ME! And that He will never leave me, nor foresake me...
