Lord, may your spirit continue to lead and guide us, in your power and strength and not our own. Help us to resist the Devil and his lies, and our own self righteous desires. Be our Rock. Amen

Lord, may I take your very words, and ingest them as regularly, as I crave bread and water, that sustains my life. Your word, your relationship I have with you, my humble worship, and the fellowship with the body of Christ sustains me. May it be, as the Air I Breathe.
“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open” Jesus’s words from is a verse from the Bible that appears in Luke 8:17.
We draw near, when we accept Gods invitation to be rescued from ourselves. It is an act of surrender from trying to measure up to a Holy God. God invites us, through his son Jesus’s sacrifice on our behalf. He gave his life, so that we might live, both now, and for all of eternity. If you have not done, this, will you consider this today. Let us know, if you have and we will celebrate with you. God Bless.
James 1:12 Persevering under trials brings maturity in our Faith and Hope for tomorrow.
Notes from John MacArthur Study Bible
1:12 Blessed. See notes on Mt 5:4, 10, 11. Believers who successfully endure trials are truly happy (cf. 5:11). perseveres. See note on v. 3. In this context, it also describes the passive, painful survival of a trial and focuses on the victorious outcome. Such a person never relinquishes his saving faith in God; thus this concept is closely related to the doctrine of eternal security and perseverance of the believer (see note on Mt 24:13; cf. Jn 14:15, 23; 1Jn 2:5, 6, 15, 19; 4:19; 1Pe 1:6–8). trial. See note on v. 2. approved. Lit. “passed the test” (see note on v. 2, “trials”). The believer has successfully and victoriously gone through his trials, indicating he is genuine because his faith has endured like Job’s. crown of life. Best translated “the crown which is life.” “Crown” was the wreath put on the victor’s head after ancient Greek athletic events. Here, it denotes the believer’s ultimate reward, eternal life, which God has promised to him and will grant in full at death or at Christ’s coming (see notes on 2Ti 4:8; Rev 2:10; cf. 1Pe 5:4).
This is how our minds change these scriptures. Rejoice SOMETIMES, Be anxious for SOMETHINGS, but in SOMETHINGS OR THINGS WE WANT, by WORRYING AND STRESSING INTERNALLY ABOUT OUR TESTS AND TRIALS. LORD, please help us to note that what we do with this verse, is NOT what you are telling us to do. Forgive us when we put our own cares on our shoulders, and not ours. Give us that peace, as we obey how you have called to walk in your spirit. Amen!!!
Your Mercies NEVER fail us. The birth of Jesus, was the beginning of a new covenant, to all people. Many, will come to know him, not just as a Baby,but as the Son of God, who came to save the World, from their sin.

Before the battle, while being tremendously outnumbered, the Israelites, bowed and worshipped before the Lord, and this is what the Spirit of God said….” You need not fight in this battle; station yourselves, stand and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out to face them, for the Lord is with you.”“ 2 Chronicles 20:17 NASB1995 https://bible.com/bible/100/2ch.20.17.NASB1995
Go is in Control, not us, and he cares deeply for us in our times of loss and grieving. Even when we don’t see him, HE IS WORKING, even when we don’t feel him, HE IS WORKING, He NEVER STOPS WORKING, HE NEVER STOPS WORKING.
