Every Moment, My Father is Right Alongside Me
My Father, thank You that You are right alongside me—every moment and in all things. Always!
“He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake.”
Psalm 23: 2b-3
You are my rest. CHOOSING to sit alone with you, restores my soul. TRUSTING Your leading as I navigate through this life here on planet Earth, restores my soul. Because this world is not my home, I need you as my Guide. It’s a huge encouragement to know that I am never alone in this journey in the “foreign land” (earth). You promise to never leave me. You are always right alongside me. Thank You!
You are my Redeemer, my Righteousness, my Companion. You are relentless. Pursuing me with love each day of my life, assuring me that no matter how far I run or how big a mess I make, goodness and love and mercy will chase after me until my final breath.
You are guiding me wherever I go and whatever I do. You are my Rest every moment of every day AND night. You are right alongside me, holding my hand. You are with me even as I sleep! In good times and bad times, You are always with me! I am blessed!
”Yet I am always with you, you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with Your counsel…Those who are far from you will perish…But as for me, it is good to be near God.. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge. I will tell of all Your deeds.’ – Psalm 73 (selected verses)
My Friend, Heather
She lives by the motto: “Life is Hard but God is Good”. And believe me, Heather knows about the “hard” things of life. Because God has made Himself “REAL” to her in so many ways, she continues to “Carry on”…as the British would say. She simply loves Jesus and trusts Him with her whole heart. YES! It is HARD, but she knows her suffering has a greater purpose. And it drives her closer in her relationship with her LORD. She definitely CLINGS to that old rugged cross.
Two Options
1. In life, we have two options. We can grumble, complain, and whine about our bad “luck”; and give up and sit in a corner and suck our thumb and pout.
OR
2. We can believe that we are not alone and that He is right alongside us THROUGH IT ALL! For peace of mind and fellowship with our LORD, we must: Keep Looking Up because God is Big and He knows what He is doing. Heather has chosen this HIGHER GROUND. What about you?
You Might Say
*What about my sins?
*What about my wasted years?
*What about financial and social messes I’ve made?
*I’ve failed so often that the gloom and defeat are consuming me

Psalm 23:3
Hope Restored
My Father, Thank You for the Hope that You provide. It is never too late to trust You. Dwelling on past failures makes us lose hope and takes our eyes off of You and all that is possible to those who believe. Thank You that You continue to walk right alongside us, nudging us on to the right path and showing us more of Yourself. You continue to believe in each one of us individually, no matter what we have done or not done that we should have. You are always ready to welcome us HOME with Your arms open wide!
“May the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.’ – Romans 15:13

Until Next Time
Stay Ready. He may come at any time. Perhaps today, Nothing else needs to happen prophetically for the Lord to come for the Rapture of the “church”. And then, there will be no more time to GET ready. Don’t be left behind.
