The Word Only - Consider How Great Things!

It’s a time in 2020 in which if we looked only at the outward appearance we could be very disappointed and discouraged. 

Yet in ALL THESE THINGS 

THERE is our wonderful God. 

He sees what we cannot.

He sees the eternal, our finite limited mind only sees the here and now.

“Faith is the substance 

of things hoped for,

The evidence of things NOT seen!” 

Heb 11:1

“We walk by faith not by sight.” 

Some verses from Daily Light which really cheered my heart.

*****

Consider how great things He hath done for you. I Sam. 12:24

Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that as a man chastenth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. Deut. 8:2, 5

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. Psa. 119:75, 71, 67

The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. Psa. 118:18

He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 

For as the heaven is high above the earth so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 

He knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust. Psa. 103:10,11,14

Thoughts of peace... NOT of of evil, 

to give an expected end. 

Not my expectations, but God's!

God works ALL together for good, 

even if we can’t see it now.

So let us look up in faith, resting in God's timezone for working things out, let us be like David, who when EVERYTHING was against him, and they were ready to stone him... he encouraged himself in the LORD!

 1 Samuel 30:6 

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.

It's curious, it's a fortnight and more since my last post where I implored you to pray for America. 

And so the battle goes on!

Let us keep praying for our countries, especially for the USA. 

PRAY for right to be upheld, God's righteousness to be exalted, Satan's power be defeated, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Thank you especially if you take the time to leave a comment, that’s deeply appreciated.

So very much. 

Praying God’s watch care upon you and all you love - wherever you maybe. 

“Our Heavenly Father knoweth.” 

“He careth for you.”

Prayer Hugs, 🙏🤗❤️

O Taste and See that the LORD is Good:

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men Psa. 107:8

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psa. 34:8

How great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee! Psa. 31:19

This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. Isa. 43:21

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Eph. 1:5, 6, 12

How great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Zech. 9:17

The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Psa. 145:9-12

God's goodness is manifest most of all in His unfailing love as Christ hung there on the cross for us.. crying "Father forgive them, for they knoweth not what they do." 

Goodness of God keeps on giving and giving and giving again.

May we go this day and do likewise. 

Praying much.

May God bless America.  

No matter what the very left media say it will in all likelihood be weeks before it's settled. 

Prayer is vital.

 Let us join together at the throne of grace, even here in Australia, my heart is deeply burdened for a nation God loves. 

He says of Israel "I will bless those that bless thee, curse those who curse thee. " may the GOOD Trump has done not be undone, especially in relation to Israel, God's chosen nation.

 In 2000 it hung in balance for weeks between Al Gore and Bush.. till miraculously God's man, Bush, won out. 

May the Lord do so again, David be Victor against Goliath. 

Mercy LORD mercy..

Edit:

For Aussies, who maybe know very little of US politics other than what you hear in our very left wing media, let me explain why I and most evangelical Americans are for Trump. 

 He's a good man with a foolish mouth (as have I, too often also).

He unlike Biden, a politician of 47 years experience, will not play the media games. That's why the media don't like him.

 Trump is a businessman, not a politician, that's why he's been good for  business,  for Israel,  for the armed forces, for farmers, standing up to the Bully China, brokering peace deals in the Middle East not wars, like every other president before him for decades, and the list goes on. 

You only have to look at the person they've chosen to be Vice President.

Biden chose Kamala Harris she is really, really bad news. Her deeds may well make you weep. She's  extreme left wing. 😥😥😥

Trump's choice is Mike Pence, a God fearing Christian, a man of fauth and prayer. 

Video here if not showing..

It's a very left wing communist Biden against a God-loving, Israel-loving Trump.

For more details in dot points clarified, read this short post here. 

Asking ourselves - the better choice for 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸... may the answer then spur us onto pray for US. 

This seems a very apt thought in respect to results whatever they maybe!

May God have mercy. 

Thanks to Diane Rozino for this most apt scripture.

Whom Seek Ye? “.. the Spirit of wisdom and understanding.”...

A quick post... to share some gems 

"The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge, and of the fear of the LORD. And shall make Him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD." Isa. 11:2, 3

O Lord Father God, May I daily drink deeply of the wisdom of Thy Word, may I be filled with the beauty, the fullness of Thy Spirit - "the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge, and of the fear of the LORD.." without You, Lord I can do nothing,  take me, this day and EVERY day, use it all for Thy glory, in the beautiful Name of Jesus, Amen.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:5

Trust in the LORD with all thine  heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In ALL thy ways acknowledge him, AND he shall direct thy paths. Prov. 3:5, 6

May we let our light so shine before men, that we may glorify our Father Who is in Heaven.. today and every day.

This post has extended a little due to a current burden and is dedicated to Josiah’s family and their present overwhelmingly, sad situation.  *** Please take a moment to PRAY for God to rule in their current calamity, and if it be the Lord's will preserve their little family completely whole in Him for His glor.  Update: Little baby Asher is now with Jesus. Pray for this young family now struggling with this loss, especially realising it was a tragic accident, allowed of God, for His higher, wiser purposes. God sees what we cannot. He Makes No Mistake

My Father's way may twist and turn, My heart may throb and ache, But in my soul I'm glad to know, He maketh no mistake. My cherished plans may go astray, My hopes may fade away, But still I'll trust my Lord to lead, For He doth know the way. Tho' night be dark and it may seem That day will never break, I'll pin my faith, my all, in Him, He maketh no mistake. There's so much now I cannot see, My eyesight far too dim, But come what may, I'll simply trust and leave it all to Him. For by and by the mist will lift, And plain it all He'll make, Through all the way, tho' dark to me, He made not one mistake.   —A. M. Overton, 1932

And another different beautiful one - the link here if not showing. Doesn't always show in new blogger sadly.

Most profund of prayers according to Oswald Chambers "Utmost for my Highest ". Oct.31

"Thou He slay me, yet will I trust in Him." Job 13:15
