Never Let Go, Matt Redman

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won't turn back
I know You are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise Youhttp://youtu.be/OKjayagPbWw

What is Fear Keeping You From Doing?

Most of us, just like the Heroes Shakespeare used in his writings have character flaws. These stories can teach us important lessons. Just as in one of the Heroes of the Bible, Abraham, the Father of our Faith, who's flaw was Fear. In Genesis 12:11-20, He yielded to his Fear that a ruler would kill him and steal his wife; and again in Genesis 20:2-13. Fearing for his life, he deceived both Pharoah and King Abimelech.
Because of this Fear he put at risk, God's plan that thru he and Sarah a great nation would arise, Genesis 12:1-3:
Now the LORD had said to Abram:
" Get out of your country,
   From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name Great;
And you shall be a Blessing.
  I will Bless those who Bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you All the families of the earth shall be Blessed.”

But before we judge Abraham, let's ask ourselves these questions.
For Fear of losing our job or business, do we compromise our Integrity? For Fear of appearing old-fashioned, do we set aside our values and morals? For fear of being ridiculed or misunderstood, do we neglect to share the Gospel and put someone's Eternity at risk?
The Only Thing that Will Conquer our Fears is Tenacious Faith in God's Presence, Protection, Power and Promises!
Do not let Fear put God's Wonderful Plans for You at Risk! Remember that He will never ask you to do anything that He will not bring to Completion, even if it requires His Miraculous Intervention as I can attest to!
Let Your Faith Overcome Your Fear and God will Turn Your Worry to Worship!

Colossians 3:12-17
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on Love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him!

America, the Land of the Free!

As we recently celebrated Independence Day, I read Thomas Paine's, Common Sense, the concise 1776 Masterpiece in which extraordinarily, straight forward and indisputable arguments were made. He encouraged his fellow citizens to take Control of America's Future and ultimately her Freedom!
I salute and Thank our forefathers for this Great Nation!

Everything You Do, Do to the Glory of the One that Made You!

 Steven Curtis Chapman singing, 'You do Everything You Do to the Glory of the One that Made You'

It reminds me of Psalm 139:
O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
  You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it. 

God is sooo Goood! He Never Leaves Us or Forsakes Us! God's Gift to us is our Lives and What We Do with Our Lives is Our Gift Back to God!

God's Care & Love Exceeds Our Wildest Expectations!

God's Care & Love For Us Exceed Our Wildest Expectations!
Just like when God stepped into the Apostle Paul's life, as he was doing everything he could to destroy the early church, and God transformed his life Forever! Listen to his words, in the letter to Ephesus:
For this reason, I kneel before the Father, of our Lord Jesus, from whom the whole family in Heaven and Earth is named! That He would Grant You According to the Riches of His Glory, to be strengthened with Might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may Dwell in Your Hearts, thru Faith, that You being Rooted and Grounded in Love, may be able to Comprehend with all the Saints, what is the Width and Length, and Depth and Height, to know the Love of Christ which surpasses Knowledge, that you may be Filled with All the Fullness of God!
Now to Him who is able to do Exceedingly Abundantly, above all that we may ask or think, according to the Power that Works in us! Ephesians 3: 14-20
!In my desire to Know and Serve God, I've discovered my own insecurities and my disbelief. God has shown himself Faithful, full of Lovingkindness and Longsuffering! God's Love is not held back by anything; not our fears, not doubt, not insecurity, pride, bitterness, or anger
In the midst of my struggles, He Fills My Heart with Love, Peace & So Much Joy!!
Remember, no matter what you've done or been thru, Nothing is Beyond God's Love Everlasting!
