Lean Not

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; but in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

That verse is what I have been saying over and over this past week. It’s a verse we can hold on to, one that strengthens us each time it’s said.

I don’t understand a lot of things that happen, but what we must learn from this passage is this:

When something happens to us or around us, through God’s word we learn to trust in Him that there are times we may think we know what’s happening but in reality God has the plan, he sees the bigger picture and our job is to trust him and acknowledge that His will be done no matter what the outcome or the circumstance.

And Romans 8:28 tells us;

And we know that in in all things God works for he good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

“lean not on your own understanding”... God’s got the plan, we trust him and we acknowledge his ways are better than ours.

Have a good week and always remember to look up!

Take Heart!

Last week Pastor Gary Simons gave us a message on living from victory to victory not  crisis to crisis, the scripture he used was from John 16:33. It says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Jesus is telling us to take heart with an exclamation mark !.

He’s encouraging us to be brave and courageous, that what ever we may be feeling is not lost, but to keep hope.

I for one, need that reminder. I for one, need to live victory to victory knowing that God will give me peace in midst of the storm.

⁴ You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1John 4:4

Have a good week and always remember to look up!
