Psalm 27:1 
The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? 

When we let go and let God, we find His protection and guidance sufficient for our daily lives. Through faith, we know that He is in charge of life.

Deuteronomy 6:5-9 
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. 

We Christians, like planting trees and passing their fruit on through the generations, need to keep telling the story of God's love for us, and how, every day, we should keep on talking about this story and passing it along.
Think of it as a legacy to enjoy, and keep on telling God's stories handed down through our Bibles to this generation and to generations yet to come, carrying on with our Christian beliefs and traditions.

Galatians 5:25 
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit

Christians are keeping in step with God's Holy Spirit. We go through our life's journeys from beginning to end, usually at our own pace. In the best of times and the worst of times, we still journey on, until we come to a dead stop.
Here we know that there is a better way to get through life -- a life that is lived in step with the Holy Spirit -- a life designed so that the fruits of the Spirit can be ours for the taking.
The qualities of the Holy Spirit we can experience and accomplish -  love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness

2 Corinthians 9:11,15 
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

God graces us with many things of beauty in so very many ways, including a plant in bloom or the friendly smile of a stranger passing us on a street. Do we remember to "burst into thanks" when we are given these unexpected gifts?

Psalm 23:4 
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 

God uses a rod and staff, much like a shepherd does, to correct and comfort us. How does a shepherd use a rod? The rod could be thrown great distances to take down a predator. The rod was also used for discipline, correcting a wayward sheep. The staff must be strong with a hook at the end, suitable for removing a sheep from thorny or dangerous situations. In the hands of the Good Shepherd, we can rely on protection, salvation, and yes, discipline. God is there for us in the shadows, but we may well face a huge learning curve.

Hebrews 4:16 
So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

1 Peter 5:7 
Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you

God who created the entire universe loves us all so much that He wants us to talk to Him in prayer on a daily basis. Not only that, He wants us to take all of our needs and problems to Him and give them to Him to look after.

God fills the universe with His presence. God is everywhere we are; He is right there with us. God sees everything that is happening to us. There is no place we can go where God is not already there.
When we sin He is there, when we do good He is there.  We need to be aware of God's presence in all aspects of our life, and use that to comfort us and to help us walk closer with Him.
Psalms 139:7-8
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? Saith the Lord.

1st Kings 8:27
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have buildeth?

Thoughts#3382

God cannot be seen with Human eyes, God can choose to reveal himself to us and He does so not only in His word, His creation but also in the person of Jesus Christ, (God in the Flesh). God's creation demonstrates His existence, His word gives us a means by which we can study and get to know Him. It is through the spirit that we build our relationship with God, being changed in the inner man. That change can be evident in those who have accepted Jesus Christ has their Lord and Savior.
God has no image; therefore we should direct our worship to God not to man made symbols of worship. His son Jesus Christ points us toward God and by His death and resurrection has provided for us access to God for those that believe in the name of Christ Jesus.
John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
1st Corinthians 2:10
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
1st Corinthians 2:11
For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
Luke 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
1st Timothy 1:17
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

God has perfect knowledge. God's knowledge is complete and eternal, knowing all things past, present and future. He knows all works from the beginning of the world and He knows our hearts. There is not a thought, action or deed that is hidden from God. And God knows how best to attain His desired ends. We can not hide things from God! God not only knows what is going on now but also past, present and future.
Psalm 147:4,5

And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me. But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the Lord, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be will unto thee, and thy soul shall live

But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

I Samuel 23:5-14
So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah. And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand. And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars. And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod. Then said David, O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake. Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the Lord said, He will come down. Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the Lord said, They will deliver thee up. Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth. And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.

Thoughts#3378

God is able to do anything. He has the power to create and the power to forgive sin, with God nothing is impossible. God himself has virtually unlimited authority or influence.

This means that God can do whatever he says he will do. We need to place our trust in God's ability to keep His promises and to guide us in our lives.

We can apply this to our daily lives, by placing our trust in Christ Jesus. Jesus said He would always be with us and He is. If God says something will happen we can rest assured that it will happen. God has the power and sovereignty to make it happen. We can apply our trust by reading God's word the Bible. Knowing what God has claimed will come to pass including our Salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Genesis 17:1
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Job 42:2
I know that thou canst do everything, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
Jeremiah 32:17,27
Ah Lord God! Behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Revelation 19:6
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Thoughts#3377

Love is the feeling which animates a person who is genuinely fond of someone or something.
God loves us, regardless of whether or not we love Him back. God's love for us is complete, so much so that He gave us the life of His only begotten son Christ Jesus, that we may live and spend eternity with Him.
When God loves, He looks at us with eternity in mind. His good purpose is that we spend eternity in relationship with him. That is different from the earthly love we show. We do not keep eternity in mind,  instead   we keep our thoughts on our earthly desires and use that as our measuring stick of love.
The Bible says “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things and love never fails”. We need the help of the Holy Spirit to truly learn to love one another.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Deuteronomy 7:7-8
The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the Lord loves you.
Romans 5:8
But God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Life is the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body. Life is the spiritual existence transcending physical death. Life is what God gave to man when He created us by making him a living soul. Everyone of us will have a physical death. For the Christian,  beyond physical death we will have spiritual life.
Genesis 1:20, 21
Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.". So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:24, 25
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Joshua 3:10
And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
1st Thessalonians 1:9
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
Matthew 16:16
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
1st Samuel 17:26
And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

God is boundless, endless, immeasurable, indefinite, measureless, unbounded, unlimited, and unmeasured.

God's love, knowledge, power and wisdom are boundless. Creation gives us evidence of the existence of God. Creation is a display of the His powers. We can seek God through faith in Christ Jesus.
We worship God not His creations. We should not under estimate God's ability to act in our day to day lives. God was here before it all started and God will be here when it is finished .
Psalm 145:3
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
1st Kings 8:27
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built.
2nd Chronicles 2:5 & 6
And the house that I build is great: for great is our God above all Gods. But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?

God is constant, fixed, immovable. God is unchanging God is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow..

God's character is constant and without change.

If we are having problems in our lives, we should first look to see if we have strayed from God's path are we no longer following or seeking after God?
We must remember that God will work things out for good according to His purposes for those that believe.
James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 
Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Hebrews 6:17-18
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.

God is holy, His nature is holy. He is pure and loving in His works. This also means God does not sin; He can not violate His nature and sin. Evil does not come from the hand of God.
Since God is holy, we should be holy. As the Bible tells us, “it is written, be ye holy; for I am holy”. We must remember this does not mean we are sinless, or that once saved will never sin again. But instead through the sacrifice of Jesus at the Cross of Calvary He imputed His righteousness to our account and therefore we should want to grow in our holiness as we build our relationship with Christ and grow in our love for one another.
1st Peter 1:15, 16
But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy.”
Psalm 99:9
Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at His holy hill; For the Lord our God is holy.
Psalm 145:17
The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
Isaiah 6:3
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Revelation 4:8
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

God is Eternal

Eternity means lasting or enduring through all time. The Bible tells us our God is a God who was, is and is to come. The Bible refers to God as everlasting, the Ancient of Days. Before time God was, He has always been here and He will continue to be here long after the things of man are gone.
Since God does not have an end we should remember He will always be there with us regardless of our circumstances. He will always be there to comfort and guide us.

1st Timothy 1:17
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Deuteronomy 33:27
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
1st John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
1st Peter 5:10
But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
John 4:13-14 
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 
John 10:10 
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We need spiritual water. And Jesus said that He is that water. As much as our physical life depends on water, we also need His water for spiritual life and peace. Without reading God's Word, we have an arid heart, forever longing. We need to water our souls by reading of Jesus and His love. He did not come to condemn the world, but to give life more abundantly.
Israel wandered in the desert for forty years because of their disobedience. Let's not wander in the desert because we don't read of the wonderful grace of our God for abundant life.

God never changes His mind; He never changes His Word; and through His Word, we can truly know Him. All He says is everlasting. He never changes His principles of right and wrong. He never changes Himself. He never changes His love for His children. He is eternal. God will never let us down, disappoint us, or break any promise.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straigh
Proverbs 3:5-6 

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
By totally leaning on Christ in our lives day by day, we have peace of heart and mind in every decision we have to make. Therefore, if a decision does not turn out the way we had hoped, we need not fear nor despair, for we know that God has directed our path and that He does have purpose amidst it. Such knowledge moves us to become strong and secure, not only within our faith in God, but also within pressing and trying circumstances.
Learning to lean upon the Lord, however, is never a let-down or a disappointment, for He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, never failing nor letting us down.
