The Best is Yet to Come!

Have you ever wondered why when you get saved you continually start to run into road blocks and obstacles? I have wondered this many, many times in my life, now that I am saved and born again. My life is constantly full of trials and tribulations. And although, I am going through the valley, I know in my heart that my breakthrough is coming...because God said so and the Bible tells us that the Lord is faithful in his promise. You see the closer you get to a breakthrough, the busier Satan becomes trying to destroy you with doubt and confusion. Thankfully, we serve a God that is with us always, even through the darkest moments. So as you go through your struggles, you are being prepared for something bigger and better than what you could ever imagine. The storms in your life are strengthening your faith and are used to show God that your faith is genuine. You may have never seen God, but you have felt Him and His presence and through that you have great joy in knowing that troubles do not last always. Remain faithful, pray daily, and meditate often and know that the best is yet to come my sisters and brothers!

Reference - I Peter 1:3-12

All of my Help comes from the Lord

There is a Word from the Lord today! As I was making dinner for my family this evening, a song was placed on my heart which is actually a scripture. It goes a little something like this......."I will look to the hills from whence cometh my help. All of help cometh from the Lord...." I was reminded of how looking up creates a positive mindset which will help you get through whatever you may be going through....stressful relationships, broken hearts, grieving a loved one, finances or lack thereof finances. It doesn't matter. The point is this. God has made us a promise for whatever that you ask in His name, it shall be given. If you ask for that relationship to be put back together, He will grant that in His name, if you ask for your heart to be healed, He can mend that in His name, if you ask for comfort in your grieving, He will provide you with peace and comfort in His name, if you ask Him to provide for you and your family through rough times, He will cover you in His name. All of these things shall and can be yours by seeking Him and His Kingdom and His Righteousness first in your life. Look up my sisters and brothers, for your help comes from God. Be blessed in Jesus' name.
