ONE STEP AT A TIME

Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

This is one of my most favourite scriptures, It is so full of hope and promise.  A hope that the Lord is faithful and the promise of his direction. 

When we need healing, restoration or direction, there is nothing better than to feast on the Word of God and to rest in his peace.  It is medicine to our soul.   When we can't seem to find our way - remember that our Heavenly Father already knows - he can show us what really is, and what shall be. 

I have been reading the book of Genesis this week, and I have been so blessed at how God was always working all things together for good for his children.  Even when it looked like everything was going the wrong way - He was working it together for good.  

As I have been meditating on God's Word and resting in his Presence over the last few days, these words rose up from my spirit as I awoke this morning - 

When the storms of life surround me

and darkness hides my path,

I cannot see what really is

and cannot tell what shall be.


I fix my eyes on Jesus Christ

the Truth, the Life, the Way,

And as I read his written word

I hear him gently say.


Fear not, my child, come follow me

and I will cause your eyes to see

what really is and reveal to you

what shall be.


He leads me unto higher ground

and gives me rest and peace.

Restores to me strength to rise

above the doubts and fears.


He fills me with his light and truth

which brightens up my path.

In pastures green I rest and from still waters drink,

with assurance now I know that I am safe in Christ.


He gently reveals to me 'What really is',

the truth behind the lies.

He fills me with hope that all is well,

so I can boldly say,

"My course is fixed on Jesus Christ 

and in him my destiny sealed".


I'm walking in his righteousness

as He teaches me his ways.

Some days he carries me and others I simply rest

but this one thing I know for sure

to be in Christ is Best.


Psalm 37:4-6 KJV

Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Isaiah 26:3 KJV

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

I have chosen this song today - "Morning Prayer" by Don Francisco.  As a reminder to begin everyday by acknowledging your Heavenly Father.  xx

God is Good - HALLELUJAH

God is Good ALL the Time - HALLELUJAH This is a song we often sing in church - I love the words - but I'm so glad that the songs we sing aren't just about good words and catchy tunes - but they help us to express the wonder and gratitude to our Almighty Father and creator, and Lord and King.  How wonderful it is to be lost in Awe of his majesty, and wonderful and amazing love. When we consider that he has forgiven us and called us his own, we cannot stay silent but yet words fail to express what we feel.  So our whole body is moved - our hands raise up and our feet want to dance. I used to live in a house where my kitchen window looked out into the back of other houses - and one day I was singing this song and dancing in my kitchen, when I suddenly noticed that my neighbors (the 3 children and the mother) where all standing at their upstairs window watching me - at first I thought I should stop but I didn't because I really didn't care because I am not ashamed of

Rejoice Ahead of Time

Image
To Rejoice Ahead of Time really is faith in action, because as we believe and receive we begin to rejoice in spirit that what we are believing for is on it's way now - that our prayer has been heard and has been answered.  There is a great expectation that something is going to happen - we don't know how or where and in what way things will change but like a child waiting on a surprise we are looking and listening with excitement and expectation.  This kind of faith is not easily shaken.  Even more bad news can become a stepping stone under our feet that lifts us up even higher and enables us to reach even deeper into the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  When we allow ourselves to Rejoice and to be Thankful to God for answering our prayers it pleases the heart of our Heavenly Father and brings joy to him.  It is this joy that strengthens us to stand strong.  I used to believe that God would answer my prayer or heal me etc some TIME in the future, that everyt

Remember the good things

Image
Do you see the little bird in the picture?  Sitting so pretty, not a care in the world.  What a beautiful picture of tranquility and contentment.   Matthew 6 v 26 Jesus said  Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Have you ever asked yourself this question?  Today I have been thinking about how good God is and how worthy he is to be praised.  My heart is grieved at all the 'bad news' it seems that people remember the bad things easier than the good things. I have always loved to praise God and to sing praises to him.  I was very quiet and shy as a child, and was never asked to sing at sunday school or school, in fact I was told a number of times that I wasn't good enough.  But this didn't stop me singing to God, He never told me I wasn't good enough.  I didn't sing because I thought I was good at it, I sang because I wanted t
