You will never walk alone....

A storm is raging off the coast...Hurricane Irene is wreaking havoc from Florida to Maine.   Fear not for God is with you.

Raindrops on my camera lens looking out of my den window

Isaiah 41:10  Fear not, for I am with you.  Do not be dismayed.   I am your God.  I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.

Psalm 112:7,8 He does not fear bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen.  For he is settled in his mind that Jehovah will take care of him.  That is why he is not afraid, but can calmly face his foes.

Remember that whether the storms of life are hurricanes, tornadoes, or storms that rage within our souls and hearts, you will never walk alone as long as you have God and His Son by your side.  Are you struggling with an inner storm?  All of us struggle at some time in our lives with illness, loss, frustration over work or a relationship.  All the worry that takes your time is better spent in TRUSTING the Lord for guidance and to give you inner peace no matter what your situation.  I see little miracles everyday in my own life--they are there, you just have to look for them.  And thank Jesus and the Father when they occur!
Hebrews 10:36 You need to keep on patiently doing God.s will if you want him to do for all that he has promised.

Isaiah 26:3,4  He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord!  Trust in the Lord God always, for in the Lord Jehovah is your everlasting strength.

God uses people as his instrument in times of storms and technology keeps us abreast of the path of a hurricane and how to prepare for it so we may safely bear whatever comes our way in life.  Heed all precautions for your area with this storm.  Heed all of God's word for the personal storms that come into your life so you may come away unscathed but enlightened.  God is the original technology and none could serve us better to guide us through the storms of life.

Morning has broken...

And life goes on as if nothing happened and while the wind still rages, the light has dawned and God's beautiful creatures came by two to bless the morning...

They were fishing as usual, What a sight to grace the day!

A little Prayer for you ...

I am turning to God as I so often do

And saying a prayer for all of you

You who are facing the storms of life,

To keep you  safe and free from strife

So you may glorify God with your Thanks.

The Shadow of Peter...

ACTS 5:14-16  "And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.  So that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.  Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bring sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed."

The Apostles were carrying out their commission to spread the word of Jesus and the Father after His death and Resurrection.  Jesus gave Peter and the others the power to heal in His name.  When the public throngs saw that Peter had healed the lame man who was begging outside of the temple (Acts 3:14) they believed wholeheartedly in Jesus that they felt that by just the shadow of Peter who was Christ's disciple, could heal the sick and afflicted when it fell over them passing by.  What amazing faith and true belief!

We are all looking for a shadow of Peter to pass over us in some way or another.  Wait no longer, just appeal to Jesus himself!  He has never left you, He has sent the Holy Spirit to watch over you.  You can have a personal relationship with Jesus.  Just invite him into your heart and he will come.  We do not get everything we ask for all of the time.  This is because not all of what mortal man thinks he needs, is what he needs.  But rest assured that what you do receive will be from the Lord and that it is the best He has to offer you.

The Book of Acts is an account of what acts the apostles performed after Jesus left them and was taken up into heaven.  It is written by the apostle Luke as he witnessed the events.  It is concentrated on the particular works of Peter and Paul.  I hope you will read more in ACTS and that you have a most wonderful day in the Lord!!
