EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE

Psalm 128:1-2 (The Message)
“All you, who fear God, How blessed you are! How happily you walk on His smooth, straight road! You worked hard and deserve all you’ve got coming. Enjoy the blessing! Soak in the goodness!”

When we fear the Lord, we find great joy in our journey with Him. We can know the outcome of our obedience, and the gift that the Lord has given us can never be taken from us!

We have a channel that directs us straight to the Father’s heart, and that straight and narrow connection can never be severed as long as we are faithful to Him and commit to seeking Him and praising Him for who He is.

Life has a series of challenges and pitfalls, and we all know that very well, but as long as we have the Father’s joy in our hearts, we are guaranteed that His presence will never leave us! Our solutions to the struggles we experience rest in His hands, for He is faithful. He who loves us and protects us from all that tries to intercept us in our relationship with Him will never let us down!

Joyful are the hearts that find comfort in Him and whose hope is never discouraged because we know where our joy comes from. We can expect great things to happen when we submit all our cares at His feet. Live in the moment by sharing God’s love for your tomorrows. We are not guaranteed the next day.

Find great joy in the here and now, and know that our Father is looking to do great things in and through us so that His light can shine ever so brightly. Let His light shine, letting others know what God has done for you and what He can do for them if they believe.
