Rock of Strength

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0000

"Incline your ear to me, rescue me quickly; be to me a rock of strength." Psalm 31:2

My Comments
When we cry out to God in sadness, shame, and distress. He bends over to listen and puts his arms around us and holds us. He accepts us as we are and helps us through our hard time and wants us to move on. He forgives us when we have done wrong, and we should forgive ourselves also.

Suppling our needs

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0000

"My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

My Comments
We all want to live "Happily ever after" but our "Happily ever after" is different than the movies. We have trials, up and downs but we always pull through and there are times of sadness but we actually cling to joy and radiate hope. That is God pulling us through those hard times and keeping our spirits high.

Seek Him

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0000

"He who comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him." Hebrews 11:6

My Comments
We need to trust God in all our daily task as he will be there and reward us when it is he sees the need. Seek in him and he will be there all the time for us.

He is delighted in us

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0000

"He brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me." 2 Samuel 22:20

My Comments
When times are tough, God is our only security for most of us. He sees what's happening around us in our lives and he cares. He is our security. He will rescue us when we need him to and help us through anything we need. Keep him in your heart and mind and he will be there for you when you need him.

Grace

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0000

"What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6:8

My Comments
When you are full of Grace you feel it. Grace is positive, unconditional. Grace operates apart from the response or ability of the individual. Grace is God giving himself in full acceptance to someone who may not deserve it, may never earn it and will never be able to repay. We are so luck to have a God like him to know that he is in full acceptance of us.

Answer us

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0000

"Make you ear attentive to wisdom, incline your heart to understanding." Proverbs 2:2

My Comments
When we pray to God we may not get an answer right away and sometimes it seems as if he is saying no. We need to look at it as each day is a new day, keep it fresh, keep your prayers in your heart, in time he will grant these wishes. He has a plan for us all and he may be redirecting your life.

Rescue me

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0000

"Look upon my affliction and rescue me." Psalm 119:153

My Comments
When your watch is broken you don't usually sit down and fix it you take it to a repair place that is just like when your in trouble instead of trying to fix it all on your on we need to ask God to help us. Sometimes when we try to fix something it gets worse but if we give it to God before we mess it up more he won't have such a hard time. So first thing you should say is,"God it's impossible, I can't handle it, before I foul up it's yours." Then he will lead you in the right direction.

Fork in the road

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0000

"God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His son." 1 Corinthians 1:9

My Comments
At times we might have taken the wrong fork in the road and it has lead down a path we don't like much. But we also know the joy of walking with Christ. When we take the wrong road, look up and pray to make it back to him where you belong.

Peace to everyone

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0000

"If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men." Romans 12:18

My Comments
Be at peace with all people. You can't change others, all you can do is handle your part through God's power. You'll never regret forgiving someone who doesn't deserve it in your eyes. God help you and guide you so the other person will learn.

The little things

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0000

"He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much." Luke 16:10

My Comments
When we do little things well, we can have the vision to do something bigger. That is when God will strengthen us. So keep on mastering the little things you do in life and the big things will come.

Keep your heart open

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to him."

My Comments
Keep your heart open, don't close it. God wants our hearts open so he can find us. When we do wrong we need to admit it right away and come to terms with it, our hearts no when we haven't let something go totally. Pray to God and he will help you release the pain and your heart will be open again.

A man after his own heart

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"The Lord has sought for himself a man after his own heart." 1 Samuel 13:14

My Comments
When we look for people to admire, we are often swayed or impressed by things that cause bragging. We look at the beautiful, smart, successful people around us and love what we see. Seems that sometimes the superficial impresses us more than we would like to admit. God says That is not the way he chooses, he chooses the nobodies and turns them into somebodies. Start looking at the nobodies they will be something spectacular someday.

His Shoulders

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"The Lord is full of compassion and is merciful." James 5:11

My Comments
Have you had times in your life when you had doubt? Everyone has at one time or another. We just need to remember to keep our heads up. Let it be comforting to know that God can handle all that you have, put it on his shoulders and he will take care of it.

Discipline

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all respects." Colossians 1:10

My Comments
Discipline is a term we hate to think about in our society now. We all need to have a bit of discipline along with patience and self-control. In the bible have you noticed that most of the testimonies of people who win have discipline. No one who wins a competition wins with out it. We need to put our discipline in place and keep it at an even keel, and in time we will get the things we need through him.

Our path

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"I will make them walk by streams of waters, on a straight path in which they will not stumble." Jeremiah 31:9

My Comments
When we commit to God, he keeps us on the straight path we need to be on. He will never abandon you, never forget you, he never leaves your side. When we start to stray the path he has put us on, just remember he is there for us and he will help us get back on the path we should be on.

With age comes wisdom and strength

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come." Proverbs 31:25

My Comments
When we are young we think we are invincible. As we get older we realize that life is precious and each day is a blessing. We may look at those gray hairs and subtle lines and experience a twinge of fear. However, we must remember that with age comes wisdom and strength. We can now find joy in things that perhaps we never did before. We can appreciate each day and enjoy it as if it were our last. We can use our experience and wisdom and share it with those who are young and may need a little guidance in the right direction. We are in a special part in our lives. I think it is the best part.

Power of prayer

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16

My Comments

Prayer is amazing. To know that we as Christians can tap into the
almighty power of God just because we are His children is such a wonderful
thing. The power of prayer can lift us to new heights and we begin to fly
like kites. We can sail along because we know we can bring our petitions and situations to an Almighty God who loves and cares for us, yet has the power
to change things.

Take flight

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things
are passed away; behold, all things are become new. " 2 Corinthians 5:17

My Comments
Think about the butterfly and about how it emerges into the beautiful
creature that it is. I know you've probably all heard the analogy of
the butterfly and new life in Christ. We've got to be constantly
soaking up God's Word and spending time with the "Son" of God before
we can move forward and take flight.

Choose the weapon of Praise

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies." 2 Samuel 22:4

My Comments
Stop looking at the problem, your enemy, the battle, the size of the mountain, the darkness, instead start praising the Lord. Praise will cause Him to show up every time. When He does show up... He can fight the battles for you.

Do we Hinder or Help

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"Then the LORD God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.' "Genesis 2:18

My Comments
Created by God to be a helper for her husband. Do we fit into that woman's shoes? I know, none of us are perfect, but can we honestly say we are trying to be that helper that God intended for us to be. That would make us a wife that is dearly loved.

Our time is Now

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens." Ecclesiastes 3:1

My Comments
Is there something that we keep putting off in our lives? We all do it. This happens and that happens and before we know it time has flew by and we haven't done the things we have promised ourselves and/or others to do.

Perhaps its time to put these things in God's hands. Ask him for the strength and courage we need to do the things we know have to be done.

Its time to stop talking and start doing.

He will meet our needs

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may
obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

My Comments
Our troubles are not going to completely disappear. We face situations
everyday that can be trying on us and on our faith. Hebrews 4:16 promises
“grace to help in time of need.” Grace is the most precious gift and it is
given to us free of charge.

He understands

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

“We have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our
infirmities; but was in all points tempted as we are yet without sin” Hebrews 4:15

My Comments
Jesus to on the likeness of human flesh and, as a result, can sympathize with
our weaknesses. He understands our temptations. He understands so much more than
we can possibly imagine. We can go to Him in confidence.

Our Gifts

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully
administering God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10

My Comments
We all have gifts that we can use to help others. We all have something to give,
something that will encourage and uplift. As we would want others to use their gifts
to encourage us, we must likewise use our gifts to encourage others. Together we can
all complete this journey together.
