Perfect Peace
1 Peter 5:7 “Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.” (LB).
The Word of God says, give all your worries to God. Take your worry list to God. When you are worried, do not repress it, do not suppress it, just express it to God. Philippians 4:6-7 “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.” (LB). Read the rest of this entry
Let Him
Matthew 6:32-33 “So don’t worry at all about having enough food and clothing… your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them, and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to.” (LB).
How do I let Jesus meet my needs? Number one, I Ask Him To Be My Shepherd every day. Number two, I make Him priority. I Give Him First Place In Every Area Of My Life, and I live as He wants me to. Our Shepherd already knows perfectly well what we need. He knows our physical needs. Read the rest of this entry
Ask Him & Give Him
John 10:14-15 “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep.”
Do you know Him? If you do not, I pray that today you will know Him. Jesus is a shepherd that cares for His sheep in such a way that He lays His life down. Every day when I wake up, I hit the floor and I say a few things to the Lord. I hope you do this. Read the rest of this entry
Ask Him
Psalm 16:5 “The Lord is my chosen and assigned portion, my cup; You hold and maintain my lot.” (AMPC).
You need to realize that God is the most secure place you can be and the most secure place you can have even at this time. If you are going to put your security in anything at all, you should put it not only in something that cannot be taken away from you. And you should put in something that is limitless.

Ex. 3:13-14 “But Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?” God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.”
I read this and wondered, Moses why not just ask, “What is Your Name? I want to know Your Name.” Instead of narrating this long epistle about people asking and not knowing what to tell them. Do you know His Name, Moses, are you not interested in knowing His Name? Read the rest of this entry
