Scriptures of the Day:
“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.”
Psalm 28:7 (NIV)
___________________
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Nehemiah 8:10
Are you in need of healing? There is tremendous comfort and power in trusting God. Today’s Scriptures tell us that He IS our strength and shield… our joy. Some people deny the existence of God and the power He holds to protect, heal, and guide; to comfort and save them. Yet, there is a steep price for not depending on God in our everyday lives, especially in times of trouble. Even some professed Christians see no benefit or need to pray and invite Jesus in, even when adversity hits and all seems lost. Perhaps they don’t know He is the Living God, ready and waiting to help His people with whatever befalls them…
Are You Up Against Impossible Odds
When impossible odds are stacked against us to heal from a serious illness, injuries from an accident, even blindness or paralysis or another type of challenge, and we may to go it alone without God’s help. In that scenario, we leave no room for a God-given miracle. Our circumstances are subject to nothing more than status quo, with things left to chance–something we call luck. But there is no power in going it alone depending on luck.
Why search for wavering, fleeting hope when you can be blessed beyond measure by inviting God in and asking for His help and have enduring hope and blessings galore? Luck is very different than the hope that comes as we anticipate God showing up, and bestowing upon us his divine grace—undeserved blessings. There are times when we need His holy intervention, when things seem bleak, even impossible, and the deck is stacked against us.
Benefits of Placing Your Hope in Jesus
If it is true that faith and belief are central fir Christians to experience miracles great and small, how different life is without both! What kind of healing or outcome could we possibly anticipate without Our Dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ fighting our battles with us and for us? I shudder to think what that means, and don’t have that answer. But having the reassurance of God’s help for the asking definitely offers extraordinary hope to anyone willing to humble themselves, make things right with God, and ask for His divine intervention and help. By doing so we can have hope in the supernatural saving power of Jesus. That sort of hope not only provides us with a flood of endorphins from the anticipation of things working for our good, it enables us to press on as we wait for Jesus, The Great Healer, to heal us or give us whatever we need.
God Hears & Answers Our Prayers!
God always hears and answers our heartfelt prayers, makes a way when there seems to be no way, and helps those who believe in Him as only He can. No, it doesn’t always happen as we plan; or overnight… but it does happens according to His Will. It may be a fully unexpected physical healing, or a healed relationship. You gettng the job you were a longshot for. Sometimes He helps by giving us a new, more hopeful perspective and outlook to help us cope. But He always shows up and intercedes in some way for the asking!
Turn to God with All Your Heart
When we turn to God and seek Him in prayer in all things, He comforts, guides, and strengthens us in our times of weakness. He protects us from the blunt force of pain, disappointment, and failure, and circumstances that leave us feeling vulnerable, hurting, and lost in fear, anxiety and uncertainty. Today’s scripture is so right–God really is our strength and our shield. All we need to do is humble ourselves, trust in Him and ask for His help!
