It is only human to think that the most important gifts are the ones seen by all, but God decides who He uses, and He gives us wisdom and understanding to know how. Every talent, every gift, every life is profitable in His hands and for His Kingdom!

God’s Word makes it possible to have hearts that beat to the rhythm of His love, grace, mercy and wisdom as we go into every situation. He gave us this day, another opportunity to serve Him and others. Thank You, Lord…please help us make it count!

The same Lord, the same power that is mighty to save our souls is just as mighty, just as present through all the struggles and troubles of this life. He is our lifelong, eternal salvation and stronghold! Hallelujah!!

What a blessing it is to know that the Lord takes care of us as an outpouring of His love. Though our love for Him and His Word may waver, His love and care for us is steadfast, constant and dependable…because He is Love!

Because of His great love, God sacrificed His one and only Son for our redemption…the forgiveness of sin. Forgiveness is giving ‘before’ it is earned or deserved. God did it, how can we do any less! It is here, in forgiveness that we find true freedom!

Our Heavenly Father loves us so much that He absolutely DELIGHTS in time alone with us…time when we can speak truth to Him and listen as He applies wisdom to our inner hearts…wisdom that affects how we live and treat those we know and love.

Even modern science has no idea how high the heavens really are, and yet God’s love is higher than that! And no matter how high we jump or fly, His faithfulness is higher than the unreachable sky! There is none like Him!

Jesus loves me, this I know…God’s message is real and sure, and our part is to accept His Gift and His direction for our lives. Billy Graham was an example of this, keeping the message clear and following God’s leading. May we ever do the same!

God gives purpose to every age and stage of our lives…our part is to appreciate the seasons with thanksgiving for all He has done in the past, is doing in the here and now, and will do in the future…trusting in His faithfulness to all generations.

“Whoever” is ALL encompassing! It means that anyone, everyone…regardless of age, gender, race or reputation…is accepted by God when we do one thing His way…accept the amazing sacrificial gift of His Son! Whoever! Me! You! All!

When we hold onto the hand of the Lord, He helps us walk on water with Him, reflecting our trust in Him through all of life’s storms.

God sees us, hears us and speaks to us through His Word, His Creation, other people and life itself. Our part is to simply watch for Him, listen for His voice and converse with Him too. Stand, look, listen…He is there…He is HERE!

Seeking the Lord first and utmost brings everything else into perspective…as we see people, problems and life itself through His eyes! It’s a little bit of heaven on earth!

As sure as the light of the sun and the waves of the sea, hope in our faithful God will not disappoint! His answers are dependable, righteous and awesome…giving us every reason to join in joyful harmony with all creation and sing of His glory!

Love is all of these things listed and so much more…each quality has been exemplified through Jesus’ sacrificial love for all mankind. Oh, to know it and feel it so completely from Him, and to live it out in the same selfless, patient, kindest of ways!

Time spent with our Heavenly Father is vital…It is in His presence that we find wisdom, guidance and strength for whatever the day may bring.

Critics are no match for our Great Advocate Jesus Christ…They may reject us, but He accepts us, He sees the intent of our hearts and stands in our defense!

Hope you enjoy this tribute to God’s amazing, defending love… “Your Love Defends Me” by Matt Maher… If it isn’t already, it may just become your new favorite! 🙂
The Great I AM is more real, more wonderful, more tangible than any mountain we climb, any ocean we dive into, anything we can see with our eyes, touch with our hands or feel in our bones! He is right here, right now, for real!

God’s Son lights our way through the ocean of life, leading us ashore to find safe harbor in Him…our Achor of Hope.

No matter how messy life gets, our Savior stretches out His hand to draw us out of the muck and mire of our troubles. He delights in rescuing us!

Our impossibilities are incredible opportunities for God to supernaturally exercise His power and magnify His glory as He miraculously does the impossible!

We can cower in fear because of how big our giant is, or we can walk in faith because of how GIANT our GOD is!

Only His grace can truly save, keep, heal, deliver and bless…so if we boast in anything, it is the unchanging, infallible, saving, keeping, healing, delivering grace of God!

Through Christ, we are spotless in God’s eyes…It is because of Jesus’ righteousness and finished work on the cross, not of ourselves, that we are guaranteed this miracle! HE is our righteousness!

When the peace of God fills our hearts, we can sleep in safety…like a baby!

The same God who gave us His timeless Word will remember all He has said…Our faith and trust emerge as we take note and remember His promises as well!

Even on one of our most ordinary days God’s extraordinary creation shouts to exalt Him…and so can we! Glory to His Name!

When the Bible becomes our joy and delight and we move from mere knowledge to deeply comprehending and absorbing its truths, we have encountered Jesus Himself, the Living Word.
