Psalm 32:8 (NKJV) 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

According to this verse there are three things He will do for us.

He will instruct us, teach us and guide us!

What more could we ask for? Our Father and the Creator of this world will help us through this journey called life. We are not alone!

We need His instructions daily. This life we live here is not about us and how successful we have made ourselves in the present world. It’s not about how popular we are, how many friends we have, or how much knowledge we have gained.

Our life here is to learn how to walk through this journey with His guidance. We should be asking Him, “what instructions do I need today? Where do I lack guidance?”

Most times we don’t ask Him these sorts of questions until we have been through the mill, trying to figure everything out ourselves and failing miserably.

We don’t ask Him for instructions until we have reached a point where we can’t do it anymore and we finally surrender.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

When we realize that the God who spoke these words to Jeremiah also loves us, speaks to us, and wants to guide us, then we begin to ask “what now, God? What is Your plan for me? Where do I go from here?”

Our prayer today is that each one of us understands that God wants to lead us every day. He will help us make good choices and protect us from hurting ourselves. He has a future for us.

He will instruct us in the way to go! Amen.

Psalm 31:24 (NKJV) 24 Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord.

When we are lost for words, when we have lost our footing, when we are down and can’t see the answer, as God’s children our hope is in Him.

Be of good courage. He will strengthen our heart.

He will come in like no other and turn things around. He has a way of taking a very hard situation and bringing healing, deliverance and a complete turnaround.

This is Who our hope is in; a God who will strengthen us and keep us going!

We fall down. We fail at times. But He never stops helping us get back on track if our hope remains in Him!

If this is you today, let Him strengthen your heart.

Isaiah 46:4 (NKJV) 4 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.

Deuteronomy 31:8 (NKJV) 8 And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”

One day I was watching an artist paint a picture. It was a painting of Jesus holding a Lamb.

As I was watching, it came time for him to draw the eyes. It was like the painting came alive and the eyes of Jesus were looking right at me.

I squirmed a bit in my seat. It was that touching. Deep inside of me I heard, “I see you”.

Tears began to come down my cheek, because only the Lord knew what I was feeling at this time in my life.

I had truly been feeling alone. I thought I was the only one that knew what I was going through.

It’s funny how He knows even the slightest thoughts we may have. And He addresses them as we put our faith in Him.

That moment I heard, “I see you”, it touched me so deeply. I couldn’t stop my tears from flowing. It surely was a God moment as the Holy Spirit spoke to me through this painting.

You just never know when or how the Lord will answer your unspoken thoughts or concerns.

That day a weight was lifted from me.

I want you to know today, He sees you too.

He sees what is going on in your life right now, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is going to be there with you through thick and thin. You don’t run this race alone.

Amen.

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…

We are going to talk a little about Job today.

We probably all know the story of how the enemy came and took everything Job had, except his wife.

He stole Job’s health, his children and all his livestock. He tried to sway Job so he would turn away from God.

But Job would not turn on God. He remained close to Him and obeyed Him.

Those who obey God will end up with a blessed and fulfilling life.

In Job’s instance, God blessed his latter years. He ended up with more sheep, oxen, and other livestock than he previously had!

Job 8:7 (NKJV) 7 Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.

Yes, Job had to start all over again.

How many of us have made some foolish choices or fallen on hard times, and here we are, starting all over again from nothing?

But can I ask how many of us can look back today and say, “I learned so much from that.”?

Troubled times, seasons of great loss, and the hits we suffer will teach us how to press in, obey and follow closer to God than ever before.

But as we are diligent in pressing in to Him, and not giving up, He will bless our latter days more than the beginning.

Job 42:12 (NKJV) 12 Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

Even though the enemy stole from Job, and we may think Job had every right to give up, He persevered, and didn’t give up on God!

Job lived 140 years and saw his children and grandchildren grow for 4 generations. He died old and full of days.

Job 42:16-17 (NKJV) 16 After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations. 17 So Job died, old and full of days.

So, take heart. The enemy may hit us hard at times, but it’s not over for us!

Job had a good life even after he took a huge hit. The enemy tried to destroy him, but the Lord  fully restored him as he stood firm and trusted his God!

Amen.

Psalm 73:26 (NLT) 26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever.

One of the things we can attest to as believers and followers of Christ is the steadfastness and faithfulness of God.

Our health may fail. We may face personal health crises that seem insurmountable, but God never fails.

We may grow weak in spirit due to attacks we face, hurdles that stand in front of us, or obstacles that seem immovable. But God never changes, and He never forsakes us.

He is the strength that keeps our heart from being destroyed.

Yes, our heart may be broken at times from the things that life hits us with. We may feel like our knees will buckle and our legs will fold beneath us. But God is the Giver of strength when we have run out.

It is important to note that the word used for “strength” in the verse above is literally “rock” in the original transcripts.

And He is our Rock.

He is the firm foundation upon which we can stand, knowing that He will never falter or fail.

Look at the obstacle standing in front of you and know that nothing is bigger than our God.

Nothing can defeat Him, and nothing catches Him off guard.

Difficulties may come, but our strength comes from Him, not from our flesh or the things of this world.

He is ever-present. He never forsakes us.

Let us hold fast to Him in obedience as He leads us through the storms of life.

Amen
