Good morning Tuesday.......
Thank You Father for this NEW DAY!
Help us to live aware, to choose wisely, to stay close to You, and anchored in Your Truth! Thank You for your Great Love and Mercy, thank You that You Wait For Us, and You Strengthen Us. We come to You today, choosing to walk in Your Presence and Light.
In this world there is one thing that is a guarantee. People are going to disappoint you. Friends will let you down, no matter how close you think you are to them, family will turn away, even when you think your family never would, and many will not follow through when they say they will do something. You are going to hear the words, "you can count on me" and "I promise I will never leave you," but almost without fail, they will do just that. Your significant other, friends, family, associates, and co-workers most certainly mean well and intend to keep their promises, but human failure is not something new. It began in the Garden of Eden and it still remains today.
As we grow up, we get disappointed by people, then upset, then a little depressed, then mad. This cycle continues until we learn the lesson that we are a fallen species and there is only One to depend on. Now, it is possible for someone to never disappoint you, but definitely not probable. Some of us do have those in our lives that are completely dependable and trustworthy, but it is prudent to know, even they may disappoint you. Be prepared for this, because before this life is over undoubtedly someone you thought would never disappoint you, will.
In a world full of disappointments, as believers, we have an unmatchable gift in Our God and Savior. Once we come to The Faith, we finally find One Who Will Never Disappoint and Will Never Leave Us. We have a Tower of Strength, A Rock, A Strong Foundation, and A Mighty Warrior In God Our Father and Our LORD and Savior Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ The King.
Are you having a tough time? Going through relationship problems? Maybe you have been disappointed by someone close to you, or maybe you have even disappointed yourself? Whatever the disappointment may be, know this: Yeshua, Jesus Christ Will Never Fail You. You might think He has and you may think He isn't there when you need him, but that is just us as humans not "seeing the big picture." If you are going through a tough time, if you have been dissatisfied by a friend, family member, spouse, or another, just remember, we are all imperfect humans. We have all made mistakes and fall short of the Glory of God. If we think back throughout our lives, most definitely we will find a time when we have severely disappointed someone and this should help all of us forgive others. Forgiving heals us, cleanses us, frees up "the weight of the world" on us, and helps us move forward in a fallen world.
If you are having a tough time, whatever the reason may be, take heart in knowing no matter how you feel or see things at the moment... Our Father and Savior Are Doing Something Amazing. This quote has shown up in more than one place and has shown up repeatedly over the last few weeks and it is 100% True. "When you are down to nothing, God Is Up To Something." Hold on to that because this thought, belief, or faith literally has the power to "lift you out of the pit." No matter how bad things seem at the moment we can all rest assure that God Is Faithful even when people are not. When it seems that no one understands, no one keeps their word, no one follows through, and no one is completely trustworthy, remember... There Is One. Seek Him Today And Be Renewed!

“The Lord your God is with you, THE MIGHTY WARRIOR WHO SAVES. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17
“For You have been a shelter for me, A STRONG TOWER from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your name.”
Psalms 61:3-5
“The name of THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER; The righteous run to it and are safe.”
Proverbs 18:10
““The LORD lives! Blessed be MY ROCK! Let God be exalted, THE ROCK OF MY SALVATION! It is God who avenges me, And subdues the peoples under me; He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man. Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name.”
II Samuel 22:47-50
“Nevertheless THE SOLID FOUNDATION OF GOD, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.””
II Timothy 2:19
“For NO OTHER FOUNDATION can anyone lay THAN that which is laid, which is JESUS CHRIST.”
I Corinthians 3:11
“Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid THE FOUNDATION ON THE ROCK. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was FOUNDED ON THE ROCK. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”
Luke 6:47-49
“JUDGE NOT, and you shall NOT be JUDGED. CONDEMN NOT, and you shall NOT be CONDEMNED. FORGIVE, and you will BE FORGIVEN.”
