Joy Comes in the Morning:

Do not weep anymore for your joy will be restored to you. Cheer up for Jesus is going to come back again. He is coming, in the clouds, descending from heaven above. Look up for redemption draws nigh. Every morning, we look up and expect Jesus to come this day. He may not come today but we have the assurance from His Holy word that He is coming. Be patient for it will not be long before He breaks the eastern sky. We will all see Him coming riding on clouds of glory. You must be patient and looking for His coming. He is bringing His reward with Him. What will the reward be - to give everyone, according to His works. Just a few more hills to climb, a few more days to see the sun, a few more mountains to climb to see the other side and a few more rivers to cross. Then time shall be no more for we shall see Jesus coming in the clouds. What a glorious day that will be when we see Jesus’ face to face. Our trials and afflictions will all be over. We will have no more trials to go through and no more deaths to endure. All will be peace when we see Jesus. Our labors will be over, and we will have the rest that only He gives. Be patient and look up !

Psalm 30:5) For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.

Encouragement from God:

Today I encourage myself in the Lord and know that His Word is true, and my circumstances are subject to change- I Samuel 30:6) Do not let the enemy cause you to worry and doubt instead pray about everything. Your strength is not the issue. The key question in your life is not how strong you are but how strong is God? You must always focus on God’s strength not your own. Jesus tells you to open your heart’s door and let His joy come in. Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; rather it empties today of its strength and joy. God’s love gives you encouragement. Do not let discouragement enter your heart. Psalm 30:5) saves weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. This encouragement from God’s Throne Room of Grace.Jesus says to you-let me have your worries. I am always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. You will face days that seems dark and dreary. Look up and encourage yourself in the love and goodness that God gives you each day. Prayer is the forerunner of God’s grace. He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. Encourage yourself in God’s love for you!

Encouragement from God:

Today I encourage myself in the Lord and know that His Word is true, and my circumstances are subject to change-I Samuel 30:6) And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. Do not let the enemy cause you to worry and doubt instead pray about everything. Your strength is not the issue. The key question in your life is not how strong you are but how strong is God? You must always focus on God’s strength not your own. Jesus tells you to open your heart’s door and let His joy come in. Worry does not solve problems. Worry drains the joy right out of your life. Worry does not empty tomorrow of sorrow; rather it empties today of its strength and joy. God’s love gives you encouragement. Do not let discouragement enter your heart.

This is encouragement from God’s Throne Room of Grace. Jesus says to you- let me have your worries. I am always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. You will face days that seems dark and dreary.
Look up and encourage yourself in the love and goodness that God gives you each day. Prayer is the forerunner of God’s grace. He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. Encourage yourself in God’s love for you!

Jesus My Friend:

I am the closest friend you will ever have. I will always be with you. I will walk with you in the storms of life. I am a friend that you can call day or night. Earthly friends may not answer at night,but I will. I give to you peace, joy and happiness. The world will only give you sorrow. I give rest when you cannot go another step. You are my closest friend. One that goes with me day and night. Even your family cannot always be with you. Jesus will never get upset with you and cut off your friendship with Him. His friendship never gets stale. It will go with you through eternity. You must not take His presence with you for granted. Remember that everything you do, good or bad, is recorded in the Book of Life. I am your closest provider, friend and my love light guides daily. I am first and Iam last. I once was dead for three days but now I live forever to lead,guide and show the way. I am your friend, and I will lead you and guide you all the way to the door of heaven.

Your glory is to behold. I look out for you day and night. I am hovering over you like a mother looks out for her new-born baby. The friendship of Jesus is all you need. He is my friend forever.

John 15:14) Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Are You at Your Wit’s End ?

Has life closed in on you? If so, the only way out is up. Life, at time, brings each of us to our wit’s end. We do not know where to turn or what to do.
Worry does no good and only makes things worse. You cannot allow Satan to take you to wit’s end. Look up to Jesus. He is there to take you back to safety. Look up to Jesus and He will give you a star from heaven to shine forth and give you guidance. In the world, you see darkness so much.
Look for the light of Jesus to shine on you and give you peace. In the Psalms it says-then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saves them out of their darkness. Satan wants you to be stressed and you cannot let him have any room in your life. Jesus is your protector so go to Him in prayer. Sincere prayer can change your life and give you peace and freedom. Never let the enemy take up residence in your life.He tightens the rope and never lets go. He wants you to be helpless. Jesus wants you to be happy and to bask in His love lights.

Never drift, even slightly,from following Jesus. Let him lead you. There is no risk in following Jesus. Do not let the enemy drive you to wit’s end. You have the strength of Jesus in your life and God’s truth.

Psalm 107:27) They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at wit’s end.

There’s Rest In Jesus

Jesus tells you to come to Him and He will give you rest He is not the enemy that makes promises He cannot keep. He is the loving Father who knows your heart. He gave you life and you must use your time on earth wisely. He gives rest to your mind and body and strength to go from day to day. Go about your day whispering the name of Jesus. He loves for you to whisper his name. You stand on Holy Ground not sinking sand. Sing the songs of Zion for they will bring rest and peace to you.

Your hope comes from God-never let the enemy take your hope away.
Refresh your mind by reading God’s word. It will bring peace and joy to your weary soul. Stay tuned into God’s voice for the enemy is going through the world. He is loosing and seeking for the weak ones who he can deceive and destroy. Be alert at all times! Know the voice of God and listen to what He has to say to you each day. There is rest in the peaceful presence of Jesus.

Psalm 62:5) says, “Find rest O my soul in God alone; my hope comes from Him.”

My presence shall go with you and I will give you rest. Exodus 33:14

The men who couldn’t pray one hour with Jesus, were the same men who had no trouble fishing all night. Priorities matter. If you want to go to Church you will. The reason you don’t is because you don’t want to. People do what they want.

Psalm 18:2) The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

The Hebrew word for my rock is balanced by its parallel Hebrew word my strength also my rock.

Reference to God as a mountain fortress that protects the believer are found many times in the Psalms.

This is a particularly apt image for David, who many times had to hide in the mountains for security.

The words strength and stronghold reinforce the image of God as Protector. The horn symbolized strength.
