Psalm 118:6 says He walks by our side! Psalm 147: 3 says He binds up the brokenhearted and heals the wounded! What a joy and comfort to know nothing is beyond His capabilities and nothing can harm us without first going through His heavenly sifter!

Have you counted your blessings lately? It's easy to grumble and complain but stop and think about the blind, the deaf, the crippels, the hungry and persecuted around the world. IF that is no you---you have so much to be thankful for AND when it is all said and done---heaven awaits all who know Jesus!

Psalm 118 is great reading. We are oft times good at praying for the big things yet He says "Be careful for nothing but it all things" we all can look at times in our lives when we just didn't understand what was happening but later it would all be clear and He was working all the time. Friend, He is always working things for our good and for that we need to always be thankful!

How should being a Christian change the way you look at things? Questions about Hunter Biden? Ashley Biden? Looking at people's children? What criteria will God use at the judgment? Do you feel we are under the judgment of God right now? Will it get worse? How can I getout of the pit I am in?

There will always be opposition and trails and testings in many forms when God gives us a plan and we decide to implement it! There will be times you cry out---"Where are you God?" Know this---He is always there and He will never forsake you and IF you stay faithful throughout the whole process you WILL see the Victory and you WILL see the rewards of faithfulness!

1 Peter 4  "Think it not strange" yet we do! Inspite of Him telling us trials and tribulation would come if we live for Him---we do! Yet we have a whole book for promises---story after story of those who have gone on before us who have faced the "wiles of the devil" we somehow forget His warnings AND His promises "I'll never forsake you."

It is part of God's plan that we grow by trials. The songwriter wrote: "If I'd never had a problem I'd have never known God could solve them." God was with Daniel in the lions den but the lions den was real. He was with the three hebrew children in the fiery furnance but the furnace was real. And He is with you in your trial.

Being a child of God automatically brings trials. Deciding to serve Him and stand for Him bring even more. Taking a stand against the evils of the day will bring yet even more. This is a jouirney of trials and endurance and those who endure win! Paul said, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course. I have kept the faith."

How to deal with lonliness and lack of friendship? How do you know when you are making the right decision? Especially when it comes to relationships and marriage! What version of the Bible do you favor? The sad effect the "social media" has on lonley people!

We've been talking aabout living positively in a negative world. Joy, peace, love, etc. is not available through the world although it will tell you all the ways you can have them. They are fruits of the spirit and available to all ONLY through the power of His spirit!
