| A Little Golden Treasure of Bible Wisdom - Herschel B. Dean Words of Assurance If you are a believer in Christ, God has everything working for you, though at the moment it may seem to be going against you. Just because we can't see it is no sign that He is not doing it. God has a way of making things come out right for those who love and serve Him. "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." Romans 8:28 If you feel like you have thrown your life to the wind, take a look at the only One who can make you a winner. He is the author of time and can make up for all that's lost. Take Jesus today and watch how quickly He can turn things around for you. Only God can take a life of wasted years and defeat and turn it all into victory. "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten..." Joel 2:25 In your darkest hour, remember that He who holds the whole world in the palm of His hand is watching and is able to deliver. "For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee..." Acts 18:10 It is a dangerous thing to be on your own and away from God. Doubtless we would shudder and rejoice if we could see the Lord working behind the scenes of our lives keeping us from the many dangers that fall across our path. "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways." Psalms 91:11 Here is a story of a man who, through faith and prayer, opened up Heaven. He is not in a class by himself. "These signs shall follow them that believe." Heaven will still open to those who approach it on the Lord's terms. "If God be for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 God hears and remembers well. Simply turn it over to Him once, and see what happens. "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." Psalms 37:5 Think Miracles! God has everything under control. Keep your eyes on Him and not on the circumstances. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 God wants us to believe for the best in all things, for He surely means for us to have them. "Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that I will do ..." John 14:13, 15:16, 16:23 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." 3 John 1:2 Be willing for God to have his way and, though everything seems to go wrong, in the end you will see that God was right. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 About all the world has to offer is temporary tranquilizers in one form or another to keep the mind off the condition of the heart. Trust Christ for real peace of mind and heart. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27 No matter how things look, keep your eyes on the Lord. He can bring miracles out of mistakes. "I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." Psalms 16:8 We sometimes fear the will of God as though He has forgotten something. He is mindful, merciful and has never made a mistake and is working all things out for our good and His glory. We praise thee, O God. "No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." Psalms 84:11 Don't get too earthbound! This good Word from the Lord, Himself, makes it clear that He is coming again to receive those for whom He has prepared a wonderful place. Now to make sure you are going to make it, simply acknowledge your need and invite Him to come into your heart. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14:3 What kind of priority does prayer have? "I love them that love me and those that seek me early shall find me." Proverbs 8:17 |
