Psalm 59:10
“My God, with His loving kindness, will come to meet me…”
To some of us, there often comes a time when we get a sense of the vastness of things and of our own insignificance, which can be a shaking thing. It can even shake our faith in whats the truth- that our Father showers with compassion even the fall of a single sparrow. (Matthew 10:29). To me one of the many proofs given to us is right in the Word of God. To me this shows how God’s hand is behind and is with and throughout my life just like He was with the people we read about in the Bible. The Bible can touch the untouchable by the power of the Holy Spirit and the willingness to separate one’s self from the world and set our eyes on the cross. The fear of being so insignificant suddenly becomes forgotten and you start to feel this overwhelming amount of love poring all over you. Unconsciously, His Word meets this fear and answers it- not always by a direct statement, but often by giving a simple, loving little story. John for instance looking through the thin veil of time into eternity, saw His Lord- the Lord he had seen pierced- now holding in His hand seven stars. John declares: “I fell at His feet as though dead.” Just as though this fallen one mattered more than the seven stars, as though there were no stars- “He placed His right hand upon me…” (Revelation 1:16-17). HE COMFORTS. He lays His right hand on the soul wounded by weariness, or fear, or any kind of weakness at all. All the feels suddenly change when you take yourself off that pedestal and pick up your matt and walk.  “Be strong and courageous” (Joshua 1:6). Knowing who is laying the path in front of you and who never left you behind.

IBS- PHILIPPIANS 3:8 “Yet indeed I also count all thigs loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” I am reminded of the Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” To hold onto the things of this world only hinders you. Your relationship with Christ Jesus, your walk, your mornings, and your everyday life. To gain the whole world but lose your soul is gaining nothing. To fight for anything of this world is going to get me nowhere if not led by the Lord. I have held on to so many things of this world, it has bonded me and there is a weight on my shoulders because of it. When I try to gain the whole world- I lose myself. I feel caught in a net with no way out. I can see the good in God, but I am to twisted and wrapped up in the ways of me that I can not figure out the way out. In Christ I have no bondage I have no net. To gain knowledge

IBS- 1 John 4:4 “ 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.” I am His and He is mine. I have to remind myself that God is infinitely stronger than Satan. And in the end God will win- He always does. The Lord is always ready. When times come around and I fall short, He is there, He is never not going to be there, ready and armed for anything. Knowing how far and how deep God will really go is never a question. Many times, I fail, still His mercy remains. It confirms it right here that we (His children) are “from God” comforting right? It is to me for sure. Its exciting! The one that lives in me is the One who concord death. When I stop and really think about this verse and all that it means to me, it takes me back to the feet of Jesus, to the place where I have to come to a place of total brokenness to receive all that He has for me. God has overcome it all, yet I question Him in how He is go

IBS- MARK 10:46-52 “ Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” then many warned him to be quite; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” so Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” And throwing aside his garments, he rose and came to Jesus. So, Jesus answered and said to him “What do you want Me to do for you?” the blind man said to Him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”   I relate to Bart in the sense of begging for Jesus to come back into my life and forgiving me once again for my sin
