Prayer Request!!!

I ask all of you who read this blog to pray for a friend of mine who is going through a very tough time.  Her parents have gotten divorced.  A family member has died.  And all through this satan has not let up on her.  He has attacked her with all hes got.  I ask that you would pray for her to persevere through these times,  That you would ask GOD to be with her and show HIS presence unto her.

thank you all so very, very much!!
your sister in CHRIST

Beyond Belief

GOD does not conform to who we think HE is. HE is who HE is. We can not think HIM any different. HE is the great I AM.

I have recently been struggling with my faith. Just one of those times when you don't understand anything and feel inadequate. I've been reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. the last few chapters talk about seeking GOD instead of who you want HIM to make you into. In other words seek GOD first THEN HE will change you. I was thinking about that tonight when i realized that i don't know who GOD is. I have been fitting HIM into a mold. Making HIM who i want HIM to be or think HE is. Then it occurred to me . . . does it matter what i think HE is?

GOD is a real and tangible being. HE is not a figment of our imagination. It sounds simple yet i find it hard to grasp. You see HE is who HE is. HE does not change. HE is real. Just because i think someone is some particular way does not make them so. I can understand this with other people but with GOD i find it hard.

In reality GOD is more real than anything we know. Yet for me HE is often , no, HE is, simply a story book character. HE is no different than the Greek gods. Of course i don't believe the Greek gods exist while i do believe GOD does. But for me it ends there, believing HE exists. Yet i am constantly told that there is more. That HE is more than just a belief.

I guess that is what is really meant by finding GOD. To go beyond belief.

I love you all may GOD bless through this week and may you go beyond belief to find a real and tangible GOD.

Verses

Romans 10:9 ⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. This is probably my favorite verse. I really couldn't think of anything to post but here is another verse. <sup>Job 40:15-24

15</sup>Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
¹⁶Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
¹⁷He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
¹⁸His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
¹⁹He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
²⁰Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
²¹He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
²²The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
²³Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
²⁴He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

Job 41:1-10

¹Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
²Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
³Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
⁴Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
⁵Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
⁶Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
⁷Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
⁸Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
⁹Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
¹⁰None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

Prosperity of the Wicked

Sorry about not posting yesterday i sorta came up blank with what to write about.

Really i haven't anything to write about today either but i do have a favorite verse i would like to share.

Psalm 73

¹Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

²But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

³For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

⁴For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

⁵They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

⁶Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

⁷Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

⁸They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

⁹They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

. . .

¹²Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

. . .

¹⁶When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁷Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

¹⁸Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

¹⁹How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

²⁰As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

²¹Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

²²So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

²³Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

²⁴Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

²⁵Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

²⁶My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

²⁷For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

²⁸But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

Remember this next time temptation comes along. Next time you wonder why you try to do right, remember this verse. Next time you ask why the wicked prosper and not you, remember this verse.
may GOD bless you today in all your endeavors
love yall
