The Battle Belongs to The Lord

1 Cor 10:13 (ESV) No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, & He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 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.”
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted & saves the crushed in spirit. 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. —Have you ever heard that God doesn’t give you more than you can handle! So Have you ever felt that just maybe, “He has way more confidence in your ability to handle things”! Well He does say that we would have tribulation, but to be of good cheer He has overcome the world. He tells us that He is the way to peace. So spend more time blessing & thanking Him for His goodness! Let Him handle all the battles! He wins! Love Mel

Don’t Worry – Pray Constantly

Phil 4:6 (ESV) Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer & supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. Matt 6:27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Prov 12:25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. Psalm 23:4 EVEN THOUGH I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod & your staff, they comfort me. — We must always remember that “EVEN THOUGH” GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US!

Peace in the Storm

Mark 4:35-41 (ESV) On that day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” & leaving the crowd, they took Him with them in the boat, just as He was. & other boats were with Him. & a great windstorm arose, & the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. & they woke Him & said to Him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” & He awoke & rebuked the wind & said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” & the wind ceased, & there was a great calm.He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?”& they were filled with great fear & said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind & the sea obey Him?” — Storms may rage, but God can calm them & give us peace.  Eventually the storm will pass & He will bring us safely to the other side.  Storms cause us to realize that He is in full control. Our faith & trust can dispel all fears & bring the calm to the storm. Love Mel

Do Not Fear

Hebr 13:6 (ESV) The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can mear man do to me?” Psalm 56:4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? Psalm 91:2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge & my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” — Did you ever spend time thinking that God is our helper! He is with us thru it all! We never have to be afraid, because He is our refuge! Don’t forget FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real! Don’t forget to praise Him with thanksgiving! His love will overflow into us! Love Mel
