devotional thoughts

Psalm 56:11
In God have i put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me. 

"You struggle, My child, when you could as easily rest in My arms.  You concern yourself with the actions of others and neglect the only important thing: to abide in Me."

Galatians 5:1
 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

"All sin is binding.  In Christ is freedom, because in Him is holiness.  The world with its desires passes away, but he who chooses to do the will of God will live forever."

1 Peter 4:12
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you.

"Through much tribulation I am bringing My chosen to perfection.  Be not amazed when challenges present themselves.  I am building your fortitude, and the day will come when you will be grateful for every lesson learned in the school of affliction."

Psalm 107:9
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

"Do not grieve, My child.  You have need of nothing.  Hold Me close to your heart, and I will satisfy every longing.  Allow Me to comfort you, and you will find yourself reaching out less and less to others for support and solace."

2 Timothy 1:12
For the which cause I also suffer these things:  nevertheless I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.

"every motion in your life becomes impregnated with sublime significance as you are wholly dedicated to Me.  All of time becomes charged with eternal values as it is consecrated and given to Me."

James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God.

"You are not free to make your own choices as long as you are surrendered to the Will of God, for when you are yielded to Him, it is He who gives the directions.  Wait for Him to take the initiative."

Romans 8:37
We are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

"Flee compromise, for it leads always to defeat.  The shed blood of Christ is your only protection.  When you go into battle, go in My Name, and know that you go against an already defeated foe."
