He is more powerful than the storms that come and He lasts forever. They eventually come to pass. In Mark 9:23 (AMP), Jesus said: “ All things are possible for the one who believes and trusts [in Me]! ” Abide in Christ, our Savior, and keep your hope and trust in Him. He has already gained the victory for us. ‘Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You, — Jeremiah 32:17 (NASB1995)

for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises] — 2 Corinthians 5:7 (AMP) Don’t fix your eyes on current events, nor let the constant negative news of this world instill anxiety and fear. Listen intently, to the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17 NKJV). Believe the Word of God and every promise it contains. For He has magnified His word above all His name. (See Psalm 138:2 NKJV) May all of our actions and every word we speak be consistent with His Word. Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. — Ephesians 3:20 (TPT)

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. — Philippians 4:19 (NASB 1995) Our awesome God is Jehovah-Jireh, our Provider. He will supply all you need from His unlimited resources. That does not mean that we will not have to do our part and labor in order for them to manifest. He will supply the strength. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, how blessed and greatly favored is the man who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing himself to You with confident hope and expectation]. (Psalm 84:11-12 AMP)  For everyone who knows your wonderful name keeps putting their trust in you. They can count on you for help no matter what.

There will be a continual draw on His unlimited strength and power. And we will remain confident that with God, ALL things are possible.

  I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of the LORD. — Psalm 116:17 (AMP) Call on the name of the Lord. His ear is always open to hear your voice. In Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV), He says: ’Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, (Philippians 2:9-10 NKJV) Whatever the situation, Jesus is the answer.

But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” — Luke 10:41-42 (ESV) Are you anxious and troubled about many things? Instead of worrying about the ever changing events of this world, be like Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to His teaching.

During these forty years, the LORD your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing. ” — Deuteronomy 2:7 (NLT) Just as the LORD watched over the Israelites, He watches over His people today. Cast all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. (See 1 Peter 5:7 AMP) He is your provider and protector. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. (Psalm 121:8 NLT)

To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. — Colossians 3:18 (AMP) The peace of Christ will rule in your heart as you fix your thoughts on the LORD. He will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on Him—in both inclination and character], because he trusts and takes refuge in the LORD [with hope and confident expectation]. (See Isaiah 26:3 AMP)

My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can! For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up in you the power of endurance. — James 1:2-3 (TPT) Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. (Hebrews 10:36 NLT) So don’t allow your hearts to grow spiritually dull and indifferent, or lose your enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance. (See Hebrews 6:12 TPT/NLT) Have great endurance in hardships and in persecutions. And don’t lose courage in a time of stress and calamity. (See 2 Corinthians 6:4 TPT) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up...

Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. — Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)

So Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him. — Genesis 21:1-2 (AMP) YAHWEH is faithful to fulfill every promise He has made. Instead of trying to make things happen when you want them to happen, wait patiently with expectation until the appointed time. And never think for one moment that our heavenly Father has forgotten about you. Believe God and stand on His Word. Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. (Hebrews 11:1 NLT) But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6 AMP)

He rescues them from all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17 NLT) We honor God and glorify His name when we continue to trust Him in the day of our trouble. This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24 NLT) We can rejoice because no matter what happens today, we know deliverance is ours. We have the victory. Nothing is too difficult for our great God. Hallelujah and amen! 

Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. — Psalm 55:22 (NASB1995) Release all of your burdens to the Lord.

Selah. (Psalm 68:19 NASB1995) He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.

(See Psalm 2:11 AMP) Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD. (Psalm 89:15 NLT)  Let all the earth fear and worship the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. — Psalm 33:8 (AMP)

But he answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me. — 2 Corinthians 12:9 (TPT) The Apostle Paul pleaded with the Lord, repeatedly, to relieve him of a thorn in his flesh. And the Lord answered: “ My grace is always more than enough for you …” Today, His grace still flows. His grace is all you need to endure in spite of difficulties. His lovingkindness and mercy are always available, regardless of the situation. His power is being perfected and shows itself most effectively in your weakness. Acknowledge your weaknesses and limitations, so that the power of Christ may completely enfold in you. (See 2 Corinthians 12:9 AMP) Appreciate the gift of God’s grace and power working and dwelling in you.

To truly know him meant letting go of everything from my past and throwing all my boasting on the garbage heap. It’s all like a pile of manure to me now, so that I may be enriched in the reality of knowing Jesus Christ and embrace him as Lord in all of his greatness. — Philippians 3:8 (TPT) We are enriched as we personally come to know Jesus the Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, in all of His glory. May we embrace Him today and every day. May we embrace Him today and every day. Jesus said to all of his followers, “If you truly desire to be my disciple, you must disown your life completely, embrace my ‘cross’ as your own, and surrender to my ways.” (Luke 9:23 TPT) Consider everything else as rubbish in order to gain Christ. Then Jesus said, “I am light to the world, and those who embrace me will experience life-giving light, and they will never walk in darkness.” — John 8:12 (TPT)

Out of my deep anguish and pain I prayed, and God, you helped me as a father. You came to my rescue and broke open the way into a beautiful and broad place. Now I know, Lord, that you are for me, and I will never fear what man can do to me. — Psalm 118:5-6 (TPT) How kind the Lord is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! The LORD protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me. Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me. (Psalm 116:5-7 NLT) Far better to take refuge in God than trust in people.

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
 And why have you become disturbed within me? 
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him
 for the help of His presence. — Psalm 42:5 (NASB1995) Praise God for the help of His Presence. When you go through deep waters, He will be with you.

Don’t be a reservoir and try to contain it all. Instead be a channel through which it can flow. Let the grace and mercy of God flow through you and splash onto those around you. May you shower the forgiveness and kindness He has shown to you, on others. Lavish the love and compassion, our heavenly Father has given us upon everyone He brings your way. “Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!” — John 7:38 (TPT)

“ As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will take His stand on the earth. Even after my skin is destroyed, yet from my flesh I shall see God; ” — Job 19:25-26 (NASB1995) In the midst of his loss, affliction and pain, Job remained confident that his Redeemer was alive and that one day, he would see Him. Because of the joy awaiting Him, Jesus endured the cross, disregarded its shame and is now seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. In the midst of our hardships and suffering, may we remain confident that our Redeemer lives and that we will, one day see Him face to face. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18 NASB1995) “ “Even now, behold, my Witness is in heaven, a nd my Advocate [who vouches and testifies for me] is on high.. ” — Job 16:19 (AMP)

(See John 10:11) No one has taken it away from Him, but He laid it down on His own initiative. (See John 10:18 NASB1995) His Sheep hear His voice and they listen to Him. No one can snatch us out of His hand, but sometimes we choose to go our own way. Don't just check in with Him on Sunday mornings. Choose Him each and every day. Always abide in the Good Shepherd. Our hope in Jesus and the promise’s of God will never lead to disappointment. (See Romans 5:5)  Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the ...

We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. (Psalm 95:7 NLT) …the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. (Psalm 33:18 NLT) Be willing to learn from His counsel. The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade. (Psalm 121:5 NLT) He never slumbers or sleeps. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. (Psalm 121:8 NLT)

When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul. — Psalm 94:19 (ESV) When your heart is burdened by many cares, cast them upon the Lord because He cares for you. (See 1 Peter 5:7) And let the peace of God rule in your heart and in your mind. He has given us His Holy Spirit as our Helper and Comforter. Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength. (Isaiah 26:4 NKJV) If God hadn’t been there for me, I never would have made it. The minute I said, “I’m slipping, I’m falling,” your love, God, took hold and held me fast. When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up. — Psalm 94:17-19 (MSG)

Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough. He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. That’s where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me the right path and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name. — Psalm 23:1-3 (TPT) Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. (Matthew 6:33 NLT) For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11 AMP) Strive for His way of doing and being right. When we reflect the character and nature of our heavenly Father, we bring honor to His name.

 “ Stop dwelling on the past. Don’t even remember these former things. I am doing something brand new, something unheard of. Even now it sprouts and grows and matures. Don’t you perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and open up flowing streams in the desert. ” — Isaiah 43:18-19 (TPT) Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (See Psalm 139:16 NLT) Whatever you face today, be confident that God has already made a way for you. Seek His wisdom and guidance. And rely on the Holy Spirit as your Helper.

Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.  — Genesis 6:22 (ESV) In Genesis 6:14, God instructed Noah to build an ark. Because of Noah’s obedience, Noah, his sons, his wife and his sons’ wives with him went into the ark and escaped the flood. (See Genesis 7:7) “Everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.” (Genesis 7:22 ESV) Know that our heavenly Father loves us, He wants the best for us and He already has good plans for us. When we obey His commands it is for our good. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” (Proverbs 14:12 ESV) The enemy will always entice us with a way that seems easier or more enjoyable, but it leads to death. He only wants to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly. (See John 10:10) When we choose God's way, we choose life.
