FAITH........Week Promises..... @ Fearless friday.......11-11-11

Psalm 27:1 KJV

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Promise #313: I am your light and your salvation, the strength of your life.

There is a confidence that the Lord wants you to walk in that will cause fear to flee from our lives. It is the confidence that the shepherd boy David walked in when he defeated the lion and the bear while tending the sheep. It is that same confidence that David had when he ran towards a huge giant named Goliath armed with just a sling shot and a few stones.

David knew that the Lord was his light and his salvation and was the strength of his life. As a result of this revelation, David could walk in a holy boldness without being afraid. God wants you and I to have this revelation too! Jesus Christ is our light and our salvation and the very strength of our lives! We have nothing to fear because if God is for us, who can possibly stand against us!

May the boldness of a lion (Proverbs 28:1) rise up within you today as you reminded who you are in Christ!

On Palm sunday march 1989 i got this vers on my confirmationday.

It sticked in my mind everytime i hear or read it i remember that day ( somewhere i must have still pictures....)

Frequently a long my faith Journey i cling to this vers more than once and it builded up my faith.....When fear tried to creep in my heart at occasions  it disapated when the words. LIGHT.........SALVATION.....STRENGHT of MY LIFE saturated my mind and heart.......

Lately early mornings when the sun comes up in the skies I remember THE SON of man JESUS CHRIST who shines HIS LIGHT down on us every morning again over and over again relentlesly to warm us up....to let us grow...to enjoy and benefit from His radiance.........

Autumn Days `Falling Leaves`

Prayer for Autumn Days 
Sr. Joyce Rupp, OSM

God of the seasons,
there is a time for everything;
there is a time for dying and a time for rising.
We need courage to enter into
the transformation process.

God of autumn,
the trees are saying goodbye to their green,
letting go of what has been.
We, too, have our moments of surrender,
with all their insecurity and risk.
Help us to let go when we need to do so.

God of fallen leaves
lying in colored patterns on the ground,
our lives have their own patterns.
As we see the patterns of our own growth,
may we learn from them.

God of misty days and harvest moon nights,
there is always the dimension of mystery
and wonder in our lives.
We always need to recognize your power-filled presence.
May we gain strength from this.

God of harvest wagons and fields of ripened grain,
many gifts of growth lie within the season of our surrender.
We must wait for harvest in faith and hope.
Grant us patience when we do not see the blessings.

God of geese going south
for another season, your wisdom enables us
to know what needs to be left behind
and what needs to be carried into the future.
We yearn for insight and vision.

God of flowers
touched with frost and windows wearing white designs,
may your love keep our hearts
from growing cold in the empty seasons.

God of life,
you believe in us, you enrich us,
you entrust us with the freedom to choose life.
For all this, we are grateful.
Amen

Autumn is a time for Prayer

Acts 1:11

Soaking On Sonday ...FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND......

Footsteps

I had a dream last night of footsteps in the sand
God and I were walking—it must have been hand in hand
For there were two pairs of footsteps in the sand
His footsteps and my footsteps in the sand
And in the dream I had, we walked the peaceful shore
It seemed that we would walk that way, hand in hand forevermore
Two pairs of footsteps in the sand,
His footsteps and my footsteps in the sand

And then the crashing waves of a wild and angry sea
Broke upon the shoreline of my life
Things I could not control were like churning, turning tides
And angry winds of strife
And when I was almost beaten and needed a helping hand
There was just one pair of footsteps in the sand
“You stayed when all was peaceful, but then where did you go?
“Perhaps You’d had enough
“When fortune fled and friends too, but oh, I needed You
“When times got so rough
And then He said so gently as patient fathers do
“When trouble stormed the shoreline, My child, I carried you”

I had a dream last night of footsteps in the sand
Jesus bore my burden when I could no longer stand
One pair of footsteps in the sand
Just His pair of footsteps in the sand

"Footprints In The Sand"

You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I'm going

You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much unknown
Along the way

Then I heard you say

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life
Flash across the sky
So many times have I been so afraid

And just when I
I thought I'd lost my way
You gave me strength to carry on

That's when I heard you say

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
When I'm weary
Well I know you'll be there
And I can feel you
When you say

I promise you
Oh, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sadness and despair
I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

When your heart is full of sadness and despair
I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

  October 7 - Promise # 280 - Acts 17:28

  Your life comes from Me because you are My offspring.
  
  Acts 17:28 KJV
  

  28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also

1 Peter 2:6 KJV

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone,
elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

Promise #277: If you believe in Jesus, you will not be disappointed.

For today's promise, I like the NIV version of 1 Peter 2:6 which says... For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." NIV

Shame is a powerful negative motivator. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were naked and unashamed until they took of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It was then that they realized their nakedness and sought to cover their shame with fig leaves. The condition of shame still exists today in the unredeemed part of our soul. However our fig leaves look much different than Adam and Eve's did.

Perhaps we cover our nakedness through a relentless pursuit of success and material wealth? Perhaps through religious striving? Perhaps isolation and self-protection? There are many ways that we try and combat feelings of shame in our lives. The good news of today's promise is that anyone who comes to Jesus, will NEVER EVER be put to shame or be disappointed.

God's love is the covering that you and I need to cover every area of inadequacy that we feel in our lives. May we be so overwhelmed with the love of God today, that we will not run and hide from God (like Adam and Eve did) but rather we will run into our Father's loving arms.

To think about GOD´S LOVE ,ACCEPT IT and GIVE IT BACK and RECEIVE IT ALSO FROM OTHERS...... came to my mind after reading this promise and devotion this week and this song fits it perfectly
Blessings on your weekend Friends!

He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love.
