Trust That God STILL Loves You!

David remembers what God has done before and he now calls on Him again. David says that in his haste, that he thought that he was cut off from the Lord.

Perhaps there was a time that you called upon The Lord but find that for various reasons, you don't call upon Him as frequently as in times past?

Perhaps there's someone reading this that may think that because of some misstep or mistakes or downright wrongful living, that your prayers are not heard or that you are disqualified for The Lord's love and blessings?

Well I'm here to tell you that when you gave your life to God, you became part of His family and He does care for you and He STILL loves you and He does protect you!

Yeah, I too have wavered from time to time. Yeah, folks talk about me, both in my face and behind my back. I've been laughed at, not taken seriously and I've been ridiculed. But, I had to get beyond man's ways and man's words and I had to trust God's Will and God's Word!

Today, in spite of what I may have done on yesterday, I KNOW that when I call on the name of The Lord  that He hears and He moves and He protects and He loves me!

Guess what, the same applies to each and every one of those who have come to God, those who have given their lives to Him by way of the redemption made by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. C'mon back and call on the name of The Lord again!

"Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues. Blessed be the Lord, For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city! For I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before Your eyes”; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried out to You. Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints! For the Lord preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person. Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord." (Ps 31:19‭-‬24 NKJV)

Not My Wisdom, But the Power of God!

“And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”

(1 Corinthians 2:4-5 KJV)

The "Little" Matters

Oftentimes we aren't handling "the little" very well, so when "much" comes, we're not ready.

Jesus says, “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones." (Luke 16:10‭ NLT)

Morning Glory

Morning Glory, it doesn't take a church building, a congregation or musicians...it just needs a willing spirit and a seeking heart!

There's just something about starting your day with a Hymnal during your early morning praise and worship. Reading and meditating on His Word and then singing (humming in my case), soul cleansing and inspiring hymns that really puts things into perspective.

Here's one of those Hymns (Chorus only):

"Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone,
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!"

May you be blessed as I was blessed on this morning. Have a great weekend!

Who's Praying Right Now?

Intercessors, are you interceding? Prayer Warriors, are you praying? Church, are you at your Post on the wall?

Our neighborhoods, cities, states and our nation is in need of prayer. Now is not the time for the people of God to be silent!

Upon your walls, Jerusalem, I have stationed sentinels; By day and by night, they shall never be silent. You who are to remind the Lord , take no rest, And give Him no rest, until He re-establishes Jerusalem And makes it the praise of the earth. (Is 62:6‭-‬7 NABRE)

Let Not Your Confidence Be Shaken!!

Put this song in your heart.

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

Push Forward

What God has placed upon you is way more powerful than what the enemy has placed in front of you. #PushForward - Rev. Rodriguez
