Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers; But his delight is in Yahweh's law; On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its se... -
Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. Don't quench the Spirit. Don't despise prophesies.

When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean." Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8...

Lost And Found

Yahweh's angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur. He said, 'Hagar, Sarai's servant, where did you come from? Where are you going?' She said, 'I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.' Genesis 16:7 WEB
Hagar wandered alone in the desert. She had always done what she was told, but now it had become too much and she had ran from the painful life that she knew. She was pregnant, having to care for herself, and far away from where she should have been in life.
Hagar means 'a stranger; one that fears.' She was an outsider in her own house. The Angel of the Lord found her lost in the desert and told her to return and submit because God had plans for her and her unborn child.
Even when she did everything wrong, God found her and took care of her. God spoke of her future and took her mind off the pain in her past. She broke down and called the Lord, 'You are the God who sees me.' Each time I have messed up and later returned to the Lord in prayer, He spoke about the future, not about the past.
If you miss the Lord, He will find you. We often worry too much and ask, 'Is this what God wants me to do?' until we get paralyzed and do nothing at all. You cannot steer a car that is not moving, but once it starts moving, then you can correct its course.
When we get stalled in life, we pray and then try and make the best decision. Sometimes it ends with, 'Lord, unless you tell us no, then we are going to do this.' When you get off course, He will bring you back with a word (Isaiah 30:21).
If you feel that the Lord wants you do something but you have been held back because you may be wrong, or you have run away from it, know that He will always find you. The Lord seeks out those that are lost.
Prayer: Father I thank You for forgiveness. Help me get back on my feet and give me the grace to stand strong for I cannot do this without You. I give you permission to pull me back up and push me forward when I stall. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

Wow..and I was just praying last night before I went to sleep and told the Lord I felt lost. I do not know what He wants me to do, so I just keep on doing what I'm doing. Thank you for this today, I feel like it helps clarify things for me.
Thank God that when we are lost, God can find us and point us in the direction we need to go. AMEN
amen
Hum if He seeks Us, certainly we know He'll for give Us for straying!! Amazing--whoa!!!
So encouraging for my daughters life. God forgives and helps us find our way. Amen.
Amen Pastor Dion. I don't think there is a Christian alive or that every lived in perfect confidence that they were hearing Him and doing everything as He wished. I think we all get lost sometimes. The easiest way to finding our way is through Him. When we feel stuck in neutral and lost, if we seek Him He will come in and give that transmission a bit of fluid, repair the leak in the line, replace the seals or give it a complete overhaul. One way or another he will get us moving again. We just need to come to Him and ask for His help.
Amen! Thank you, Lord!
A word I neede to hear this morning. Waiting patiently to hear from God.
Thank you Lord for loving me even when I mess up and do wrong. You are on forgiving father who loves me even when I stumbled and fall. You never use my past against me thank pastor Todd for this devotional message it brings joy to my soul and heart. Thank the Lord we have some one to run to when we seem like all hope is lost.
Thankful that I have a God who sees me! I was alone in my first marriage with a toddler, a full time job, etc. with no help from my ex husband. My car broke down one morning and I was crying out to the Lord that I am so alone and tired and have no help and He spoke to me and said "I AM YOUR HUSBAND."
I love your " I AM YOUR HUSBAND" KIm. OUR LORD GOD really is our husband. Had been where you are and HE always take care of me and my son all the way through, today, tomorrow and forever. Have the faith and believe and know that HE HAS YOU AND YOUR SON IN THE PALM OF HIS HANDS.
Amen

Thanks for these words, Pastor Dion. I am trying to move forward, but want to be sure this is what God wants me to do, as opposed to what I THINK it is what He wants. However, I don't want to stand still if what I feel in my heart is what He put there. I am asking fort he Holy Spirit to guide me.
Amen
