Breathe! It’s OK!!! A Word from THE WORD!!! #15
Just a brief word to encourage your Wednesday! Sometimes we get so caught up in the things—the stuff—the appointments—the running—the doing—that we are almost “holding our breath” and running on imagination! Well, my friends—breathe! Just take a deep breath in, thank God for today, and breathe out! Repeat! And again!
“The Spirit of God
hath made me,
and the breath of the Almighty
hath given me life.” Job 33:4
Sometimes our ‘tunnel’ vision overtakes our heart of faith—we only see the small window of our current crises, and we are prone to forget that our God is still in charge, and HE is trustworthy of our attention!
“And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude,
and as the voice of many waters,
and as the voice of mighty thunderings,
saying, Alleluia:
for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice,
and give honour to him….” Revelation 19:6-7a
Remember Who is in charge—Who loves you—Who has all the “stuff” covered if we will but stop and “breathe” in Jesus!
“For in him
we live,
and move,
and have our being…”. Acts 17:28a
And I simply want to share a few words of hope, encouragement, and peace for you to breathe in today. I pray that it will help you as it has me. We all have those times—so stop, take a few minutes, and “breathe” IN JESUS!
“Being confident of this very thing,
that
he which hath begun a good work in you
will perform it
until the day of Jesus Christ:” Philippians 1:6
Got it? Jesus is at work in HIS own every minute of every day—for your good and HIS glory! Count on it.
“And we know that all things work together
for good
to them that love God,
to them who are the called
according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow,
he also did predestinate
to be conformed to the image of his Son,
that he might be the firstborn
among many brethren.” Romans 8:28-29
I praise God that it is all because of Jesus—NOT me—and you can trust HIM, for HE has never failed me yet—and HE won’t today!
“Therefore being justified by faith,
we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith
into this grace wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope
of the glory of God.” Romans 5:1-3
So, press on in confidence—Jesus is enough!
“But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren,
be ye stedfast,
unmoveable,
always abounding
in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know
that your labour is not in vain
in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:56-58
Jesus has supplied all we need—look up, walk right, and press on!
“The thief cometh not,
but for to steal,
and to kill,
and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it
more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd giveth his life
for the sheep.” John 10:10-11
Breathe and lean on your Shepherd, Jesus!!!
As the gospel hymn says, “The Longer I Serve Him, The Sweeter HE Grows”! (Written by Bill and Gloria Gaither.).
Amen and Amen!!!
