Decisions Decisions Decisions!!!!!

Have you ever gotten to a stage where you feel like you have to make very important decisions that would shape the path your life would go in. I mean there are no guarantees there are no certainties. A lot of other things may be  depending  on this decision .  It has to be the right one but what if it you make it and it  is not the right one then what. You know what I discovered there are things you can control and some things you cant control but it so happens that we just  worry regardless.It happens that a lot of us worry about the future when we haven't been there yet .We focus so much energy on worrying about this future thus forgetting to remember the one who has been there   I knew you before you were formed in your mothers womb-Jer 1:5

I found that when you find yourself worrying you have to check yourself. There is something that may be shaky and that is your trust in God.Therefore the Question is Do you trust God concerning this issue. There are some issues that you deem  unnecessary to concern God with and sometimes we might not acknowledge him at all.
Yet the scripture says "  In  All your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path" prov 3:6
What is it to Trust?
A firm belief in the ability, integrity, character of a person or thing. - dictionary.com
Why Would You Trust A Person?
I had a conversation about trust with a friend . I asked this friend if he trusted me . The reply was Yes. I asked what do you mean by you trust me and he replied by saying there are some certain things  I am certain you could never do (he listed them) even if I was told by a multitude of people that you did it . I will still doubt it.There it hit me . If another human could love and trust so much in the character of a human which could fail and disappoint at anytime then why do we doubt the character of God  ?
Why Trust God
 The bible says he honors his Word more than his name. Therefore If he says that Your life is in his hands and no one can snatch you from his hands, that is what it is. Jesus in the book of John said
" My father who has given them to me is greater than ALL and no one can snatch them from my fathers hands -John 10: 29

God is greater than ALL (whatever it may be)He will guide you and he will lead you and I tell you nobody can snatch you from the hands of the Great shepherd because he guards and leads his sheep. Things may be going on and may seem contrary to what he said but if he said he will do it. All you need to do is stand on his word declare it and trust him. The scripture also says

"For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
but water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth;
It shall not return to me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall Prosper in the thing for which I sent it.- Isaiah 55:10-11

As long as you see the rain and snow, remind yourself that all God has said concerning you will come to pass.

I want to encourage you today that as long as long as it rains and snows,  all God has said concerning you will come to pass. You might be at the verge of making a serious decision and you might feel so overwhelmed and stressed but you don't have to .You can tell and trust God with it today .If he was not concerned he would not have said in All your ways acknowledge me . What has he said concerning that issue let him know that you trust him because he is God and he is in charge of your life no one else.

Lean on him you can trust him with all of your heart . Lean not on your own understanding God has got your back.  Just do your best , Pray,trust God and rest in him. He has never failed and he will not fail you now.

God Has Got You Covered

With lots of love

Overcoming Worrying ;Worrying The Rocking Chair

Matthew 6: 25-34

Do Not Worry

²⁵ “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? ²⁷ Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

²⁸ “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; ²⁹ and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.³⁰ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

³¹ “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

One of my favorite verses in the bible. Every day has its own troubles so do not worry about tomorrow. The first time I grabbed a hold of this truth .I felt on top of the world.God is aware of my needs.If God takes care of birds that do not know where food is going to come from and he thinks it is important to clothe grass. How much more us his own creation. I used to be a worrier. You know I always wanted to  figure everything out and predict the outcome of everything. You know see the entire staircase before you take the first step. However ,I got a hold of this scripture and I let go and learnt to rest and trust God .I honestly thought I had that scripture locked down in my heart but I recently found myself worrying about things I couldn't handle and had been so busy with school and trying to make a lot of decisions that I had been too busy to realize it .

 Until I woke up with my heart racing one morning and  then I knew what it was" Mr Worry" in full force. I quickly grabbed my bible and opened it up to this scripture and you know what I got total peace about everything and you can too.
You might ask, I thought you had a hold of the scripture why did you worry? The bible says in proverbs
 " My son  give attention to my word ,Incline your ears to my sayings
Do not let depart from thine eyes,
keep them in the midst of thine heart
because they are life to those who find it and they are health to their flesh"-Prov 4:20-22
I had not kept it in the midst of my eyes . All I needed to do was to look in Gods word to receive healing for my heart and  his peace that no man can give .Then keep his word concerning that issue in my heart and hold on tight to it.

 Our life is In God's hands Our  future is in God's hands he is aware of our every need .There is no need to worry about tomorrow . Do the best you can. Put God First In Everything  and all these things shall be added unto me.

Food For Taught 

1. Gods word is food to us and health to our flesh.It would reach places where people could never reach.

2. No matter how many times you have read a scripture .Read it again .Gods word is our "sword". Eph 6:17
3. Spend time with God .He knows just what you are going through .Who else but your creator to provide just what you need to make things ok.
4. Give no place to worry ,give no place to fear.Find what God says about that situation and hold on to it "He is faithful who has promised" .He has an unmatched record . He will never fail. 

Receive God's Peace and relax

God has you covered.
Have a blessed week People.

Roll Over 2014 ,2015 Is Here ...

It's been a tremendous year . God has been faithful. If you are reading this , It means you are among the living and that is enough reason to thank God. There were highs and there may have been some lows as well but the very fact that we are alive means one thing to me. God is not done with us yet .We are alive because of his mercy and his grace. In spite of our unfaithfulness God has been faithful and kind to us. There have been so much unrest and disasters in 2014 but we are here by God's grace I am so exited for the forthcoming year because he has promised that the latter will be better than the former . May this year be an amazing year for us all. Cheers to a bigger better year in Jesus name.


Thank you so much for your support all through the year.
