Seek His Face

The Lord will provide for everything you have need of, when you seek His Face.
Whatever it is that you are facing today, He will guide you through.   He loves you.   
Place your whole trust in His Word; in the Cross of Christ, there is nothing too hard for Him.   
He is your peace in the midst of the storm. 
Call on Him in the night; call on Him in the day.  No matter the time... He is always there.  
Rejoice in the Lord always...  Again I say rejoice!

The Lord is with you

I love to read the Bible.   I've been a Christian for many years.

 Since 1981,  I started suffering from dizzy spells.   They would come up on me, just anywhere and any time without warning.   Lasting about a second or two.     I remember going to the doctor and he said, well, you may have a brain tumor.   I didn't believe that.   At least I didn't want to believe it.    So, without really going in for any tests.   I just took it in stride.   It became a daily part of my life.  
Finally, a few years ago,  I had to see the doctor about getting some medicine for acute bronchitis.   As the doctor was listening to my breathing, he asked me if I also suffered with back problems.   At times, I said.   He then did something to my head and neck, which caused some pain in my right shoulder and the base of my neck.    Ah-ha!  You have a pinched nerve.   He informed me that when I'm stressed the nerve will pinch.   Hmm.  I didn't know that.  
I was glad to find out what was causing those problems.   But, just took it all in stride.   Its been a part of my life for so long that I never thought of asking the Lord to heal me.     Well, one day... I just got fed up with that nerve.  Not only was it causing dizzy problems but it was now making my right hand numb.   And this isn't good as I love to write.    

At the time of this writing,  I am currently believing for the Lord to totally heal that nerve.   And I believe He will.  In His timing.    At times I do have pain.  And He does take that away.  

I just wanted to encourage your heart today.   If you are going through something.   It doesn't matter if its an illness, or maybe your hurting in some other way.   God is a Big God.   And He is able to heal.   He is able to restore.    I want to share some scriptures that I am standing on.   And when you read them, allow His peace to flow into your soul and into your heart.  

"Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth."   Jeremiah 33:6

"Bless the Lord... who healeth all thy diseases."  Psalms 103:2-3

"He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."  Isaiah 53:5

 

Overcome fear

Every day, our world changes.   The news tends to report on bad news.   If we allow ourselves to focus on such things, then our hearts will be heavy with fear.

There is good news.   We don't have to allow fear to take control.   We can overcome fear by seeking God.    If you feel that you've had a heavy heart, then turn your eyes toward the Cross of Christ.  For in the Cross, you will find hope, you will find joy, you will find peace.    Read and allow these scriptures to get into your mind and in your spirit.  

"I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."  Psalms 34:4

"The fear of man bringeth a snare:  but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe."  Proverbs 29:25

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;  thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."  Psalms 23:4

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee:  be not dismayed; for I am thy God:  I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;  yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."   Isaiah 41:10
