    As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them. Luke 6:31 WEB.We had to park way out in the parking lot that day, and it was hot when we came out of the grocery store. There were no cart returns nearby, and I didn't really feel like taking the buggy all the way back to the building. I ...

    You Get What You Need from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Sometimes disappointment comes from unrealistic expectations, like a fish that wants to fly. Fish simply aren't built for graceful air travel, but they can swim like no one else. Likewise, the Lord has given each of us a gift set and...

    Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men." Immediately they left their nets, and followed him. Mark 1:16-18 WEB.When I was youn...

I Will See The Goodness

  • I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living. Psalms 27:13 WEB

    David was now a wanted man and on the run for his life. Once a hero in the eyes of the people, the ones that he had trusted now sought to kill him. He was on the run when he wrote Psalm 27, either from Saul when Doeg the Edomite reported him, or from his own son Absalom who attempted to overthrow David as King.

    When everything was against him, David strengthened his faith in God. He remembered the things that the Lord had done in the past (Psalms 27:2). Then he confessed that he was going to see the goodness of God again. "I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!"

    Sometimes you can do everything right, and everything will go wrong. Those who once loved you, now seem to hate you. When you pray, you may hear only silence. Be assured that the Lord is still there and nothing is hidden from His sight.

    Yes, it may look dark and hopeless, but that is not the end of your story. It is only a valley and there will be another mountain top. Real faith is tested when you continue to live right and seek God while all hell is breaking loose around you. That is how the apostles did it.

    Remember what the Lord has done for you. Do not get beaten down in the trials of life. God has brought you this far and He is going to bring you the rest of the way. Stay the course and you will overcome. Take courage and know that the Lord is going to fix this somehow. Say it out loud: "I do not know how, but somehow God is going to bring me through this.'

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray that You lead me out of darkness and into Your presence. Come into my heart and help me make the right decisions today. I choose to make You a part of my life today. Please bring to memory the things that You have already done for me, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

Amen. Life is not easy, my road has been truly a bumpy one. I have suffered break downs, flats and complete engine failure, but He is always there to remind me that He is in control. He makes my paths straight and He fixes anything and everyhting that keeps me from moving forward in my life. I am so thankful beyond belief for my Abba Father's constant provision!

Amen!! Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray that You lead me out of darkness and into Your presence. Come into my heart and help me make the right decisions today. I choose to make You a part of my life today. Please bring to memory the things that You have already done for me, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen! Amen! How can I forget that every valley and storm I've been in I have been held, provided for in mighty ways, and comforted until I felt strong enough to stand only with all eyes and focus on you as my strength Father! Thank you for always showing me your hearts and other messages of love  through every storm. I know now that even in the struggles you are with me and blessing me and holding me. Waiting for the moment I choose to receive your unconditional love in complete faith and belief. I'm so close Father just a little more patience with me please.... Help me be all you want me to be ! Help me believe in my unbelief. Give me faith the size of a mustard seed where my faith fails me! Let me be confident in you alone! Amen!!! Thank you Pastor. God bless

Amne!!!    Thank you for the devotion today Pastor Dion. This devotion feels like what my life is going like with my family. Not my husband and daughter. It's like this with my sister's, cousin's and everyone else who put their nose into our family business. Jesus, I pray you keep a hedge around my family and I to protect us from all the pain and gossip. I pray in Jesus, name. Amen. <3

I also claim your prayer over my life. Thank You Jesus. I give God my Father all the glory and praise. Amen. <3

Thank You Father for taking care of me and my family. Stay with us and lead us on the the narrow path You want us to be on to the stright gate. Amen.
