“So he said, I heard Your voice in the Garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” Genesis 3:10

How often do we do this, we mess up and then hide from the LORD, instead of calling on Him! We make a mistake big or small but then we try to cover our tracks, instead of confess!

“For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

Romans 10:13

Often instead of confessing we get into blaming, that’s what Adam did “It’s the woman you gave me LORD.” Everything the LORD has done is perfect, complete and good. What we need to do is just listen, hear and do what He says!

“Oh, Give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the people’s!” 1 Chronicles 16:8

Today no matter what maybe going on around you; your fault, their fault or act of nature. Remember God is in control, and He has all things covered! So let’s not hide from Him but let us boldly go to Him! Have a blessed day.

“Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.” Genesis 2:3

Did God need rest because He was tired? NO! He rested because He was finished, His work was completely done, there was nothing left to do! Unlike us who always have a little more to do! So when we work six days, and take the seventh off we are celebrating the completed work of God!

“The LORD is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works.” Psalm 145:9

“The LORD is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works.” Psalm 145:17

In other words we are created by God, saved by God so let us live for God and rest in Him! Our work may never be complete, but we are completed in Him! So if life is stressing us out look to the LORD and rest in Him!

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2

We have all kinds of things going on around us; uncompleted work, stressed-out relationships, disrupted lives and out of control life situations! But the LORD is complete gracious and full of mercy so let us rest in Him! Have a blessed day!

“Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Genesis 1:31

Everything God made and does is good! It’s man that gets into things and messes it up! We have a tendency to do the opposite of what the LORD desires! The LORD is Love, but we can be hateful and jealous.

“He who does not love does not know God, for God is Love.”

1 John 4:8

In life we have to let things go more often than not! As humans we have a tendency to hold onto things and not let go! This is were jealousy and hate creep in and we become dark, not light.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, says the LORD.” Isaiah 55:8

If your feeling a little dark and need a boost of His light, really seek the LORD and ask Him to show you His way! Because usually if we are in the dark it’s because we are doing it our way! Have a blessed day seeking the LORD and His light!

“And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.” Zechariah 14:16

One day everyone no matter what will be going to Jerusalem to worship the LORD! What a day that will be when all nations, tribes and people of the earth worship the King!

“I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.” Psalm 122:1

One of the things we can do as believers, since we know that this day is coming! Were every knee will bow and every tongue will confess before the LORD! Today we can be lights shinning for the LORD and mouths calling people to the LORD!

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Matthew 5:16

We know the times we are living in, So let us show the folks around us the LORD we are living for! Let us be bold going to His house to worship and shinning His light wherever we are at! Have a blessed day!

“And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south.” Zechariah 14:4

One day this is going to happen and what a glorious day it will be! No matter what we see going on around us, our LORD is going to one day soon and very soon make all things right! So let us put all our hope in Him!

“And in that day it shall be – That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea And half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur.” Zechariah 14:8

Again the LORD is going to make all things right, all wrongs will be made right. So no matter how things may look, let us not get all caught in worry and stressing on things that really are out of our control! And know that the living LORD is in control!

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27

Today know that the LORD is going to make all things right and all His promises are going to come through! Have a blessed day putting all your hope in Him!
