Cast Your Cares

Some wisdom is written below. Stay encouraged.

God Bless.

“Cast your cares on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken” Psalm 55:22, NIV.

I want to remind you today that God did it. You may not see it yet, but He did it. You may not feel it yet, but He did it. You may not have heard any news about it yet, but He’s already fixed it. Whatever He has promised you, whatever He has confirmed for you, whatever you are waiting on, it is done. God did it!

Any defeat that you are feeling is just that, a feeling. Those are fleeting, but our God, oh our God, He is not. If you’re feeling discouraged, anxious, stagnant, downcast, or anything other than joy and peace, cast those thoughts and feelings onto the Lord, for He cares for you. Remember, it is done. Every battle is won. So rest in the comfort that our God is not sending us into a losing fight. Rest in knowing that God has already seen you through to victory!

Prayer: Praise be to you forever and always, Father! Praise be to you in the good times and the bad. Glory be to the Lord God Almighty!

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

“I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

I Prayed To The Lord

I found encouragement in the word's written below and I wanted to share the wealth.

God Bless.

I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. (NLT) -Psalm 34:4

Do you ever feel the weight of your burdens and fears pressing down on your shoulders? Do you carry it around all day with you? Turn your heart to God and pray to Him. Hand Him your stressful thoughts and worries, He will carry your burden for you. After you've prayed, stop worrying and release them. Your Heavenly Father will watch over you.

Goodness Of God

O, taste and see He is good.

God Bless 

The Goodness Of God

J. Slocum 

Most people at the beginning of the New Year receives a scripture from the Lord that they cling to throughout the year. For me, God usually gives me a song and this next year is no exception. When I first heard this song for the first time, I knew instantly this was my song and He was telling me it was time to get my focus off the bad and difficult period in my life and start focusing on the good.

I have always believed He was good but after listening to this song, I wasn’t so sure I truly believed it. I began to really look for all the way’s He tries to show me His goodness and I found them in the little things. Once I did a deep dive, my eyes were open and my ears burned with the sound of His voice.

I see His goodness in my beautiful grandson who was just recently born. He’s perfect. His smile lights up the room and the way he holds onto your finger signaling his trust he has in you is nothing short of God’s goodness.

God’s goodness can be found in the way He has kept my son in all the unconventional way’s as he is learning to navigate adulthood and fatherhood while chasing his dreams is nothing short of amazing.

The way he has brought freedom to my husband through the lost of his mother and how now smiles again is a miracle. My husband is becoming a changed man right in front of my eyes.

I am in awe how God is healing relationships I never thought would stand a chance of getting healed because of the wounds that ran deep all through laughter and our willingness to meet Him halfway.

Yes, we have seen some tough times and experienced more than I would have liked and yes, there are battles still raging all around us but I see now the goodness of God is our light at the end of our storms. I am more determined to cling to His goodness from now on. I have this song on repeat to remind to sing of His goodness. Rest assured I have a deep understanding and appreciate of His faithfulness. My mind is unmovable to the knowledge His mercy is new every morning and every breath I take is the favor He has placed on my life.

All my life I knew about these things, however, I just needed to get to the point in my life that I believed it without hesitation and I believe I’m there.

I am thankful for the words in this song. They are indeed my love song to Him. This song is a song, I didn’t know I needed. This song gives me the hope I’ve been looking for. I am stronger now and I am on the other side of many battles and I now know it’s all thanks to His goodness.

May 2023 be the year His goodness overtakes every mind, body, and soul. He’s waiting to overflow us with more goodness than we can handle, all we have to do, is keep fighting the good fight of faith with eyes to see and ears to hear.

Keep in mind, no matter what we may go through, we are victorious and stronger than we think, and His goodness is a reward we can not afford to take full advantage of.

Goodness of God

I love You, Lord

For Your mercy never fails me

All my days, I've been held in Your hands

From the moment that I wake up

Until I lay my head

Oh, I will sing of the goodness of Godg

'Cause all my life You have been faithful

And all my life You have been so, so good

With every breath that I am able

Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice

You have led me through the fire

In darkest night You are close like no other

I've known You as a Father

I've known You as a Friend

And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah

'Cause all my life You have been faithful, oh yes You have

And all my life You have been so, so good

With every breath that I am able

Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

Your goodness is running after, it's running after me

Your goodness is running after, it's running after me

With my life laid down, I surrendered now

I give You everything, oh Lord

Your goodness is running after, it's running after me

Your goodness is running after, it's running after me (oh yeah, oh yeah)

Your goodness is running after, it's running after me

With my life laid down, I surrendered now

I give You everything

Your goodness is running after, it keeps running after me

And all my life You have been faithful

And all my life You have been so, so good

With every breath that I am able

Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God

I'm gonna sing

All my life You have been faithful

(All of my life You've been faithful)

All my life You have been so, so good

(So good with every breath)

every breath that I am able

(Every breath I'm able)

I will sing (I'm gonna sing)

Of the goodness (of the goodness of God, yes I am)

I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God

Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God

Devotional 

The Apostle Paul implores the Christians of Colossae to live in such a way that glorifies God in everything they do in their daily lives. Be careful how you act, be careful what you do, as the only gospel your friends might know is the gospel according to you. As a Christians you represent Christ, therefore your words and deeds should also represent His character and nature. Your life is an open book to those around you and they read a page or more each day based on your actions and words. Therefore, represent Him well.

But The Word

Amen with a little bit of wisdom.

Be encouraged.

God Bless.

But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

Inspiration 

Sometimes we make God’s word more difficult than it needs to be. God wants us to understand His Word, so He makes the most important things easy to reach. Forgiveness. Grace. Hope. Love. Righteousness. With every reading, He reminds us that these things are on our hearts, ready for us to use at all times and in all places.

Prayer 

Thank you, Lord, for Your word. Thank you for revealing the truth of Your holiness. Help me to hold close to Your word just as You hold close to me, so that I may live in obedience. If I stray from Your path, use Your word to bring me near to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

But The God Of All Grace

Thankful we have a Saviour that understands everything we go through not to mention encounter.

Be encouraged by this little devotional.

God Bless.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Inspiration 

None of us enjoys hardship. When we encounter seasons of difficulty and suffering, we naturally want to find our way out as quickly as possible. But sometimes the solution doesn’t come quickly and we are left to endure the pain. But we are not without hope. God promises not only to use our suffering to strengthen us, but He promises to bring us out of the suffering in His time.

Prayer 

Lord, as the difficulties of life pile up on me, I know that I need Your strength. I thank you for being present in the challenging times. Please give me the endurance I need each day, and please use this time to grow me in Your wisdom and strength. Through this season, make me more into the person that You have made me to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Fear Would

Say no to fear and stay encouraged.

God Bless.

The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. 8 The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. (NLT) -Psalm 121:7-8 

Fear would like to tell us that God is surprised by the events of our lives. He has no control or ability to help you in this scary and uncertain world. God’s word promises something different, it promises that God will keep you. When we realize that God is with us no matter what we face we can live lives filled with peace rather than being stuck in our fear.

Quote Of The Day - God's Mercy

Thankful and grateful!

Be encouraged.

God Bless.

Quote of the Day -Joyce Meyer

God’s mercy is fresh and new every morning.

– Joyce Meyer

The Lord Is Gracious

Thankful for little devotionals like this one to keep me encouraged.

God Bless.

The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

Inspiration 

God’s compassion is such great news for us. How burdensome would life be if God responded with anger at every mistake? We’d be paralyzed, afraid to do anything for fear of messing up. But God answers our sins, our failures, and our shortcomings with mercy. By His grace, He gently restores us and corrects our course.

Prayer 

Precious Lord, thank you for Your great mercy. I rely on it every day. I am grateful that You hold back Your anger, even when I fail. It is with humility and awe that I receive the mercy of Your forgiveness. Thank you for the correction that You provide to me each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

And The City

One day soon! Come, Lord, come!

God Bless.

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Inspiration 

Heaven is going to be so glorious. No pain, no sorrow, no darkness. Everything that separates us from God will be removed. We will be so fully in His presence that there will be no need for created light. Jesus, the Lamb, will be our light, and there will be no more shadows because His presence will shine goodness and joy into every corner of our heavenly dwelling.

Prayer

Father, I thank You for securing a home for me in heaven. Each day, the sun rises and its light and warmth give me a foretaste of the eternity to come. Make the light of this life a signpost for me, so that I may walk in Your light with my eyes on the finish line, and that I may lead others to Your light as well. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Bible is a big book. It can be hard to understand and tough to read. The psalmist prays that He could see God’s goodness in the law that God had established for them. As you open God’s word pray that you can see God’s beauty in the text.
