Our God Whom We Serve Is Able To Deliver Us

        Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king - Daniel 3:17.

               Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who were thrown into a fiery furnace emerged unharmed because they believed that God is able to deliver them. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire. And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them - Daniel 3:26, 27.

               God will deliver all those love Him and all who call upon Him. Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him - Psalm 91:14,15. For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help - Psalm 72:12.

            Let us thank God our deliverer who delivered us. Worship the Lord your God; it is he who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies - 2 Kings 17:39. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge - Psalm 144:2. He who is able to deliver us will continue to deliver us. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us - 2 Corinthians 1:10.

Power of The Tongue

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit - Proverbs 18:21.

Wise talking

            There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health - Proverbs 12:18. In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise - Proverbs 10:19. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen - Ephesians 4:29.  

Enjoy life & see many happy days

           If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil - 1 Peter 3:10. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies - Psalm 34: 12,13.

You Will Eat The Fruit of Your Labor

     Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours - Psalm 128:1, 2. 

             We are so blessed when we fear the Lord and walk in His ways as we will eat the fruit of our labor and blessings and prosperity will be ours. And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good? - Deuteronomy 10:12,13.  The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none - Deuteronomy 28:12.

Gift of God

               It is the gift of God for us to eat and drink and enjoy the good of all our labor. Every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor - it is the gift of God - Ecclesiastes 3:13. It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage. As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor - this is the gift of God - Ecclesiastes 5:18, 19. 

By God and not by us

              It is only the God who gives us the increase and the power to get wealth and not by us. And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth - Deuteronomy 8:18. Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain - Psalm 127:1. Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight, declares the Lord - Jeremiah 9:23, 24.

Thank God

             Let us fear God and walk in His ways and thank God for His gift to eat and drink and enjoy the good of all our labor. The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it - Proverbs 10:22. It is the blessing of the Lord that makes us rich and so let us glorify God by our work. Let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need - Ephesians 4:28. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men - Colossians 3:23.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us be blessed by fearing You and by walking in obedience to You as we will eat the fruit of your labor and blessings and prosperity will be ours. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Guard Your Heart

 Above all else, guard your heart for everything you do flows from it - Proverbs 4:23. 

For out of the abundance of the heart, mouth speaks - Mathew 12:34. 

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil - Luke 6:45.

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies - Matthew 15:18,19.

The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? - Jeremiah 17:9.

Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You - Psalm 119:11.

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says - Mark 11:23.

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also - Matthew 6:19-21. 

Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up - Proverbs 12:25.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid - John 14:27.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:6-7. 

Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation - Psalm 24:3-5.

Lydia saved and all her household were saved and baptized

             The Lord opened the heart of Lydia to hear the things spoken by Paul and she and the members of her household were baptized. And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there. Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. When she and the members of her household were baptized, she invited us to her home - Acts 16:13-15.

Philippian Jailer and all his household were saved and baptized

            The Philippian Jailer and all his household were saved and baptized when Paul & Silas spoke the word of the Lord to them. So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go” - John 11:43,44.

Commit Your Way To The LORD Trust Also In Him And He Will Do It

Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He will do it - Psalm 37:5.

Commit your way to the LORD

              God's ways are higher than our ways and so let us commit our ways to Him. For as the heavens are higher than the earth so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts - Isaiah 55: 8,9. A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps - Proverbs 16:9. I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way you should go - Isaiah 48:17. Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways - Psalm 128:1. 

Trust in Him

                  Once we have committed our ways to God, let us also trust in Him to act irrespective of our situations. Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help - Psalm 146:3. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God - Psalm 20:7. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding - Proverbs 3:5. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord - Jeremiah 17:7.

He will do it 

                  As we commit our way to the Lord and continue to trust him, He is able to intervene in our lives and work out what needs to be done. For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass - Ezekiel 12:25. I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them - Jeremiah 32:42.   

                                                                     

                

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us commit your way to You and trust in You for You to act. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. 

              

With God All Things Are Possible

                                 With God all things are possible - Mathew 19:26.  

Water - Good Wine

              There was no wine at the wedding of Cana and Jesus turned the water into wine. On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine” - John 2:1-3. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it - John 2:7,8. Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now! - John 2:10.

Five loaves of bread and two fish - 5000 fed &12 baskets of leftover

               Jesus fed more than five thousand men with five loaves of bread and two fish and there were 12 baskets of leftover. Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted - John 6:11. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children - Matthew 14:20,21.

Empty jars - Full jars of oil

             The woman who gathered empty vessels, poured oil into the vessels from her little bottle of oil as Elisha said and the flow of oil stopped only when no jar was left. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing - 2 Kings 4:5,6.

Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think; to Him be the glory!” - Ephesians 3:20, 21.

             

                                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, With You all things are possible. We thank You as You are able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think in our life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Elohim: The All Powerful Creator

In the beginning God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth - Genesis 1:1. 

               The first name of God that is listed in the Bible is Elohim which is translated God. The name of God Elohim means the All-Powerful Creator. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made -  John 1:3. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands - Psalm 19:1,2. He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down - Psalm 104:19. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them - Genesis 1:27.

                Abraham believed that Elohim, the All-Powerful Creator was able to create and bring life for him and Sarah out of the barrenness. He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed - the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised - Romans 4:17, 20-21. Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you - Jeremiah 32:17. 

              Let us thank our God, the All Powerful Creator, Elohim. God’s creative power which was at work in Abraham’s life will work in your life also. For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together - Colossians 1:16-17. As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things -  Ecclesiastes 11:5.

                                                                         

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are Elohim, the All Powerful Creator. We thank You for Your beautiful creation. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Like birds hovering overhead the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem; He will shield it and deliver it, He will pass over it and rescue it - Isaiah 31:5.

Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth - Psalm 124:6-8.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people both now and forever more - Psalm 125: 1,2.

 The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace - Numbers 6:24-26.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him - Psalm 28:7. 

The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore - Psalm 121:7,8.

In The Morning

                                       In the morning my spirit longs for you - Isaiah 26:9.

               God hears us as we seek Him early in the morning. In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly - Psalm 5:3. But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning. For You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble - Psalm 59:16. We shall hear the voice of God as we seek Him early. Those that seek me early shall find me - Proverbs 8:17.      

                Abraham sought the God early in the morning. And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord - Genesis 19:27. David chose to seek God early in the morning. O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land where there is no water - Psalm 63:1. Jesus prayed very early in the morning.  Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed - Mark 1:35.                

              Let us seek God early in the morning. I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word - Psalm 119:147. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life- Psalm 143:8. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness - Lamentations 3:22,23.

                                                                          

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us praise You and seek You early in the morning. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Nothing Is Too Hard For Our Lord Who Had Made The Heavens And The Earth

 Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You - Jeremiah 32:17.

               There is nothing too hard for our Lord who had made the heavens and the earth by His great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for our Lord the God of all mankind. I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? - Jeremiah 32:27. He gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. In the presence of Him whom he believed - God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did - Romans 4:17.

                God who gives life to the dead took away the reproach of Elizabeth among people by blessing her with John in old age as nothing is too hard for Him. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years - Luke 1:6,7. But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John" - Luke 1:13. Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying, “Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people” - Luke 1:24,25. 

           Let us thank the Lord who had made the heavens and the earth by His great power and outstretched arm as nothing is too hard for Him. Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of hosts - Zechariah 4:6. For nothing will be impossible with God  - Luke 1:37. With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible - Mathew 19:26.  I know that You can do everything, and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You - Job 42:2.  

                                                                      

PRAYER: We thank You as there is nothing too hard for You who had made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. 

I Am Your Shield

 I am your shield - Genesis 15:1.

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head - Psalm 3:3.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for being our shield and protecting us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Trust In The LORD Forever

    Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock - Isaiah 26:4.           

               God wants us to trust Him instead of trusting man and our own heart. He who trusts in his own heart is a fool - Proverbs 28:26. Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited - Jeremiah 17:5,6. Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help - Psalm 146:3. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man - Psalm 118:8.

                We are so blessed when we trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit - Jeremiah 17:7,8. We will never be moved in any situations but kept in perfect peace as we trust in Him. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever - Psalm 125:1. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You - Isaiah 26:3. 

              Let us trust in the Lord forever with all our heart and at all times. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths - Proverbs 3:5-6. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act - Psalm 37:5. Trust in Him at all times, oh people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us - Psalm 62:8.

                                                           

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to trust in You forever with all our heart and at all times. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Firm Foundation

       Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily - Isaiah 28:16.      

             Jesus is our firm foundation and He is our everlasting rock. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ - 1 Corinthians 3:11. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock - Isaiah 26:4. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold - Psalm 18:2. For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? - Psalm 18:31.       

            Nothing can shake us when we build our firm foundation on the truth of Jesus and do what He says. Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall - Matthew 7:24-27.                              

            Let Christ be our firm foundation for our life. He will never fail us. He will be the firm foundation for their entire lives. He will give them all of the wisdom, knowledge and saving power they will ever need - Isaiah 33:6. As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving - Colossians 2:6-7. 

                                                          

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for being our firm foundation. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Good Shepherd

   I am the good shepherd - John 10:14. 

No lack

             There will be no lack in our life as God is our Shepherd. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake - Psalm 23:1-3. He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young - Isaiah 40:11. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel - Ezekiel 34:13,14.

Guidance

                God who is our good shepherd guides us and leads us in right path. He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young - Isaiah 40:11. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand - John 10:27, 28. 

              Let us hear the voice of our good shepherd every day and follow Him. But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil - Proverbs 1:33. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls - 1 Peter 2:25. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes - Revelation 7:17.

                                                                          

PRAYER:Dear Lord, You are our good Shepherd. We thank You for providing us and guiding us. Let us hear Your voice and follow You. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people - Exodus 13:21,22.

You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, And did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, And gave them water for their thirst. Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness; They lacked nothing; Their clothes did not wear out And their feet did not swell - Nehemiah 9:20,21.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows - Matthew 10:31. 

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? - Matthew 6:26. 

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens - Psalm 68:19. 

Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you - Isaiah 46:4.
