And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. (Exodus 14:13 [show]Exodus 14:13
[13]And Moses said to the people, "Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. (ESV)
). If we place our trust in the Lord, God will remove our enemies and our hard situations out of our way. We must keep in mind that sometimes God places unpleasant people and situations in our lives to keep us ever before Him in prayer. Be blessed!

I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. (Acts 26:9 [show]Acts 26:9
[9]"I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth. (ESV)). We find ourselves often times with the same dilemma as Paul. We often can be found in situations that compromise our Christianity which in turns is in direct opposition with Jesus Christ. When we fail as Christians we are then a stumbling block to fellow Christians and those who are not saved. Stay in the will of God. Be blessed!

Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? (Acts 26:8 [show]Acts 26:8
[8]Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead? (ESV)). In this text, Paul is standing before King Agrippa justifying his conversion a d faith as a Christian. Paul asks the king, why does he think it to be so incredible that God can raise the dead? We too often feel the same about God not only concerning physical death, but spiritual death. We are all sinners saved by grace a d every time we sin God raises us from the death of sin. If God can do it for us, why do we feel that he cannot do it for anyone else. A sinner cannot condemn another sinner without first condemning themselves. Be blessed!

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:8 [show]Revelation 1:8
[8]"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." (ESV)). Jesus ensures us that He is Alpha and Omega which is to say that nothing or no one comes before or after Him. The entirety of heaven rejoices when just one person accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Jesus is coming back and when He returns, if your name is on the roll of eternal life He’s coming back for you. If your name is not recorded in the book of life you will be left behind. Be blessed!

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (Matthew 22:37 [show]Matthew 22:37
[37]And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. (ESV)). In the world that we live in, it is easy to see that many people don’t love God like they say that they do. It is evident that they lust after God for the things that they want Him to do for them. We must love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind. God is I am that I am, and there is no other God beside Him. Love God for who He is our Redeemer, and not whY He can do for us. Be blessed!

For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that dear Him. (Psalm 103:11 [show]Psalm 103:11
[11]For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;). God maintains an abundance of mercy fir those who fear Him, He offers us chance after chance for reconciliation back to Him. Great is His mercy towards us, He always provides and makes a way for us when we don’t see a way. Be not dismayed if the way is not made apparent, but know that God knows what He is doing in our lives. Be blessed!

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:8 [show]2 Peter 3:8
[8]But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (ESV)). We should be glad that God’s vision is far greater than ours. The things we labor and travail over trying to figure out God already sees and knows the end. For this reason, we must place all of our trust in God and serve Him diligently daily. Be blessed!
