COME TO ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST!

Remember the Lord your God. He is the who gives you power to be successful in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed with your ancestors on oath.” Deuteronomy 8:18  

” I will not fail you or abandon you. Be strong and courageous.” Joshua 1:5&6

” The Lord says, “I WILL RESCUE THOSE WHO LOVE ME. I WILL PROTECT THOSE WHO TRUST IN MY NAME. WHEN THEY CALL ON ME, I WILL ANSWER; I WILL BE WITH THEM IN TROUBLE, I WILL RESCUE AND HONOR THEM. I WILL REWARD THEM WITH LONG LIFE AND GIVE THEM MY SALVATION. ‘ ” Psalm 91:14-16

“Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.” Acts 16:25

It is vital as Christians that we remember who is in charge of our lives. God tell us very plainly that he is our source. He is the one that gives us the abilities be successful. He is the one who delivers us from our problems. He is the one who heals us and comforts us in times of need. He never goes back on his word. He assures us that he will never fail or abandon us. We are to be strong and courageous because of Him. We must have strong faith and complete trust in his promises for each of us. In Psalm 91:14-16 we find Paul and Silas shackled in chains deep within prison walls. What we find them doing is singing hymns and praising God. They were not whining or crying or cursing God or anyone else for their situation. The were trusting God. They knew their assignment and they believed that God was in charge, and he would take care of them. They were fulfilling their assignment no matter where they were. If they were to be in prison, then so be it. But God had other plans. He performed a miracle and people were saved that night because of the faith and trust both Paul and Silas displayed. We too must trust in God. We may be in a very trying situation, but God has promised us that he is our source and that he will never leave us. He may be using our situation to help someone else. We don’t know God’s plans. However, if we keep a strong faith and total trust in him, he will deliver us just as he promised! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALLSITUATIONS!
