God hath not promised…
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower–strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

REMEMBER God is our Provider
Remembering that God is our provider also means that we trust in His provision. Whether He gives us material wealth, physical health or the forgotten gift of suffering, we trust that God provides us with everything necessary for us to thrive BECAUSE He is The Good Father.
Love’s Inscription
O unbelief, how strange a marvel thou art! We know not which most to wonder at, the faithfulness of God or the unbelief of His people. He keeps His promise a thousand times, and yet the next trial makes us doubt Him.
Will you Pass on the Faith Baton?
The test of Isaac’s faith was whether he would pass on the “promissory note” to his children. We ONLY pass on the things we truly believe in.
God’s Joy in the Midst of Life’s Pain
This is a point of testing that we often fail. We believe God is loving and good when things are easy and we can see a smooth, comfortable course ahead of us. It’s so easy to feel love and praise for God when we get the promotion at work, when a dear saint in the church is healed, when our children delight us and our friends admire us. But when sickness strikes and sees no relief; when a colleague maligns us and we find ourselves out of work, when children rebel and we feel alone and rejected – where is our faith then?
The Hope of His Calling
The resurrection of Jesus from the dead causes our hope to come alive. God by His mercy has “birthed” us into a living hope. Our hope is living and is based on the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead.
FEAR NOT: Though God DISCIPLINES Us, God never DESERTS Us
FEAR NOT, The LORD is with us
FEAR NOT, The LORD is our God
FEAR NOT, The LORD will strengthen us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will uphold us with the right hand of HIS righteousness.
FEAR NOT, The LORD will hold our right hand
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
More Special than Sparrows
God cares for sparrows and the number of hairs on our heads; He certainly has His all-seeing eye on us, knows what we are going through, and will carry us through our trials to the other side!
Loss of a Loved One
We must never think that God treats the death of one of His own casually.
Sanctification Secures Supplication
God does not give us the desires of our un-yielded hearts!… [but] we can discover the truth of God’s tender mercies if we will FIRST delight ourselves in Him.
