1 Sam 17:32 (ESV) David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go & fight with this Philistine.” 1 Sam 17:40 Then he took his staff in his hand & chose five smooth stones from the brook & put them in his shepherd’s pouch. His sling was in his hand, & he approached the Philistine. 1 Sam 17:46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, & I will strike you down & cut off your head. & I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air & to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. — If you have ever felt as though the odds are stacked against you, well you aren’t alone. Gods army was afraid to face the Philistines because of the giants in the land, but God sends a 17-year-old shepherd boy to  fight Goliath! The armor wouldn’t even fit him, but David had a sling shot with 5 stones! Sometimes God uses the things that we don’t even consider to bring down our obstacles! The key is don’t fear! We must be fearless like David to overcome our battles. We must have faith in God & believe that He will help us! And always remember, Never ever give up on God! With God, all giants fall one way or another! Love Mel

John 14:27 (ESV) Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You. Phil 4:7 The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts & your minds in Christ Jesus. Col 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.

— Did you know that we are all called to live in Peace? — John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. — Our peace comes from Him that is why He tells us to keep our eyes on Him! We must hold to the fact that He has overcome evil & we can have the victory! Praise Him & be thankful! Love Mel

John 3:16 (ESV)For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.  John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection & the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, Luke 23:43 And He (Jesus)said to him(thief on the cross), “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in paradise. — Eternal Life is a gift from God that comes only “through Jesus Christ our Lord”! Our Eternal life begins the moment a person exercises faith in Christ. Whoever has the Son has eternal life! — 1 Cor 15:58Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. — Trust in Jesus is critical to receiving eternal life! Spend time with Him & He will guide your path! He has the living water that we need to be all that we are created to be! Believing & Trusting Him is the Best Life! Love Mel

John 6:35 (ESV) Jesus said to them, “I AM the bread of life; whoever comes to Me shall not hunger, & whoever believes in Me shall never thirst.” John 6:51 I AM the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. & the bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set His seal.” Matt 5:6  “Blessed are those who hunger & thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” — “I AM” is the “bread of life”! When we hunger for Him we will be satisfied like never before because He is LIFE! Don’t miss it!  —Matt 6:33 Seek first the kingdom of God & His righteousness, & ALL these things will be added to you. Love Mel

Jehovah Rohi is a name for God that means “the Lord my shepherd” guiding us through out life! I love this picture. We must learn to Trust in the lord without understanding. For this is key to walking His way because our God sees the bigger picture. He promised to never leave us or forsake us! The enemy may be trying to hold us back but the lion of Judah is fighting for us! He promised to deliver us from the snare of the Fowler. We must declare that no weapon formed against us can prosper! We are blessed to be a blessing! Never ever give up., only remember who we belong to! The words of the lord bring healing & restoration. Believe! Love Mel
