Hebrews 13:1-8
5Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
I woke up with 2 songs on my mind this morning:
It’s that Holy Ghost and Fire and it’s keeping me alive
Keeping me alive, it is keeping me alive.
It’s that Holy Ghost and Fire and it’s keeping me alive.
Jesus is keeping me alive.
It’s all over me and it’s keeping me alive
Keeping me alive, keeping me alive
It is all over me and it is keeping me alive
Jesus is keeping me alive!
and
What a mighty God we serve.
What a mighty God we serve.
Angels bow before him,
Heaven and earth adore him
What a mighty God we serve.
I know that Jesus has kept me and is keeping me alive. I could give you example after example of all the reasons I am sooooo thankful for where God brought me from to where I am today. It is not because of anything that I have done, it is because of his great mercy. I could have died in my sins and hell would have been my eternal home. I am so glad I came to myself and realized my need of Jesus.
He didn’t have to keep me while I walked in sin. I made decision after decision that could have easily been it and I could have been out of here. I am so thankful that while I was yet in my sin, Christ died for me. I am thankful that he showed me the way.
I know that Jesus has kept his hand on my children. Thomas was born and they took him from me because his sugar was way too low. It was fine by the time we left the hospital. We still had several appointments for a week or two after we left the hospital. He had to be checked to make sure the levels stayed where they needed to be and they did. Zach had pyloric stynosis (I may not have that spelled correctly) and could have left this world. He had to have surgery when he was 5 weeks old to correct it. They told us surgery and recovery would be 2 hours which to them was no big deal. He was out of surgery, recovery and back in my arms within 45 minutes. Andrew was born and couldn’t move his left arm at the shoulder joint and God fixed it. I will never forget how his little hand brushed my face that first time he moved it. And then we were sent to a specialist because of concern that his soft spot was closing too soon and everything ended up being perfect. God is our healer!
I could give you examples of how he has kept my husband and other family members. Not that we have miraculously be taken out of every trial, but we know God’s mighty hand led us through. He has shown himself to be God time and time again. Not because we deserve it, but because of his grace and mercy. You have come far too late to convince me that there is no God for he dwells within my soul! He is my life giver. He sustains me. HE IS MY SAVIOR! HE IS MY JESUS!
What a mighty God we serve.
What a mighty God we serve.
Angels bow before him,
Heaven and earth adore him
What a mighty God we serve.
Luke 15:17
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
Psalm 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Job 36:5
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
Matthew 28:20
...and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
