*****Stick To Our Chosen Paths******

Happy weekend To All God's loving Children,

I pray that we all have a weekend full of the love of our Father surrounding us, the Protection of our Savior watching over us, and the wisdom and discernment that the Holy Spirit communicates to us, from them both, so we may fulfill the tasks they have planned for us to complete.

We pray we keep our eyes on the Lord and not our circumstances, no matter how hard they may be, for that is just the deceiver and enemy trying to detour us off our ...path, and miss the awaiting gifts and blessings that God has placed there, the Devil makes it so appealing, or perhaps makes us feel we are somewhere to help that friend that has been lost for sometime, however, after a certain time, God makes it clear what we are to do if there is no change.

 That is why studying His word is so important to our relationship with Him, and how intimate He desires each relationship to be. So when we know His wishes, and stick to the path He chose for us, allowing us to receive ALL, not some, of the gifts and blessings, because we were not pulled onto the path of whomever we have been helping for so long, without real growth, but stuck to God's path, hand selected for us.

That is when the power of prayer comes to the rescue, because we can still lift that friend or family member up, amen.

I pray that we remember what He promised us in:

Hebrews 13:5-6New International Version (NIV)

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;

never will I forsake you.”

6 So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.

What can mere mortals do to me?”

Have a blessed weekend and thank you Lord for your Grace, forgiveness, and love, we lift this and all petitions up in the blood and name of Jesus, amen. I pray the below poem from my upcoming book "Poems of the Eternal Heart a Daily Devotional"

 

HE KNOWS ALL AND LOVE US STILL

 

He has seen our lives,

from beginning to end,

He's our loving father,

and our dearest friend.

 

He does all He can.

to make sure we complete,

the life He has chosen,

without interference and deceit.

 

From the devil and his demons,

who presently rule this earth,

and have kept their eyes on us,

from the time of our birth.

 

For our Savior won the war,

and the devil knows he lost,

so he wants as many people,

to take down at any cost.

 

But as believers we know the truth,

and need never give into fear

because that's the weapon of the enemy,

And our God is forever near....
