1John 4:18
there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
God's love brings assurance and healing to the insecure soul.... fear is not from God... God never leads in fear... bible says that fear involves torment... today God is patient and kind to you.... He is longsuffering towards you... He is gentle to you... He is meek toward you.... He thinks no evil towards you... He is truthful toward you.... He bears all things and hopes the best for you.... His love will never fail you.... His love is perfect toward you....
1john 4:19
We love Him because He first loved us.

bondage to liberty
Romans 8:15
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
In Christ we come into peace with God and enter into a state of no bondage.... bondage of fear paralyze us... today the good news is you have step out of the Spirit of bondage to fear because of what Jesus has done for you... and enter in the rest of God.... For you have not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear... but the Spirit of sonship... the Spirit of Adoption.... where we can go to God and call Him "Daddy... Abba.." and He will respond for we have become His children...
Romans 5:8-9
For God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

Peace
Psalm 31:15a
My times are in Your hands.
God knows the times and seasons of our lives.... Satan loves to throw temptation to cause us to react in fear... however GOd wants us to trust in Him.... When Jesus was tempted by the devil... He was tempted in the area of who He was... the devil tried to tempt Jesus to prove Himself and who Jesus was.... in life we will be tempted to prove our worth to others.... that is a trap by the devil... the wise thing to do is to trust and depend on the Lord.... Jesus was smart enough not to fall into the trap... of proving Himself... today God doesnt want you to react in fear or react to prove a point... God wants us to be like Jesus and trust ourselves to Him for our times are in His hands... God is always able to bring His Will for our lives at the right time... and the longer the wait... the greater the breakthru... Sarah waited so long before the breakthru came...
Galatians 4:27
"Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor! For the desoloate has many more children than she who has a husband."
Today God wants to remind us that many more are the children of the desolate at the right time... in other words... the breakthru will be greater....

Everyone has weaknesses.... everyone has a thorn in the flesh that bugs them or cause pain or irritation... however God has an answer and He does not want us to be despair... the answer is the gospel.. the good news of what Jesus did for us that we become new creation in Christ... that we came from darkness to light... from curse to being blessed... so now in every pain or in every weakness... we can take pleasure knowing God's grace will abound and we will receive the promise in due season... God loves to choose underdogs to be with them in their weakness and His grace superabound in their weaknesses.... so I wan to encourage you that in your area of pain... area of thorn in the flesh... area of irritation... to be encouraged for in due season the promise shall be fulfilled... greater shall be your breakthrough... take pleasure for His grace is with you when you are feeling the pain... when you are weak then you are strong for He is close to you and His grace is helping you as you believe and trust in Him and enjoy the closesness with Him and his grace....

Journey (2)
Eccel 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
In our journey of faith..... after we come into grace through God.... we are then waiting patiently and eagerly for the fulfillment of the promise of God to us.... What God has done on the cross is a guarantee for that the promise of God to be fulfilled in our lives... however God has a timing for everything under heaven... that GOd is not a man that He would lie... and He promise to make all things beautiful in its time.... stay patient and stay calm... peservere in all things and keep trusting and believing in His promises for it has already been guaranteed on the cross....
Romans 5:2-5
through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoiec in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character, and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Isaiah 61:3a
To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes
Whatever area in your life that you feel God has not yet come true.... God is saying it has been purchased by the blood of Jesus and He has promised beauty in the area where you feel there is ashes... God wants to encourage you to keep trusting and develope the character of trust and patience... And in due season... at the right time... He makes all things beautiful in His time...

Security and meaning
Psalm 63:1-3
O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.
Dr A.R Bernard taught us that idolatry is finding our security and meaning in something other than God Himself... It could be a person, a way of doing things, in a religious system or even in oneself..... Idolatry is finding something other than God to fill the meaning and security in one's life.... today God wants us to trust Him and put away all forms of idolatry in our life... it could be a person that you put ur trust in more than God... it could be position in a religious system... or even in yourself.... God loves you today and wants you to trust Him above all these things that has no true security and meaning...today cast your cares on Him for He cares for you... Let Him satisfy you... Let Him be your God.... He loves you and wants you to put your hope in Him.... He loves you and yearns for your fellowship... today draw near to Him and He will draw near to you...
Psalm 62:8
Trust in Him at all times you people; pour our your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.

Salvation is on the basis of Jesus taking all our sins on the cross and rose up on the third day....It is by grace through faith we come into salvation and peace with GOd.... However after we enter into peace with God because of Jesus... we have journey of faith...
Romans 4:12b

There is steps of faith or journey of faith we come into.... and in the end of the journey is the glory of God...

Time to get up again
Romans 4:13
For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Because of what Jesus did on the cross we as seed of Abraham are given the promise to be the heir of the world.....
Romans 4:18-21
who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be." And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthen in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promise He was able to perform.
Today want to encourage you to be like Abraham... no matter what situation yo uare in... God wants you to be stengthen in faith... Just like Abraham... and God wants you to believe in His promise for your life... the promise of God will come true for your life.... He makes all thigns beautiful in His time... Hope deferred makes the heart sick but when desire comes it is a tree of life....

His faithfulness
Psalm 138:7-8
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me. The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.

I believe today God wants us to continue trusting in His goodness and His faithfulness that He is the same yesterday, today and forever and He keeps His Word..... He will keep His promise to you... delay is never denial... Keep hoping and trusting in His Word and promise because He is faithful...Because we serve a God who has made a covenant with us by sending His son to die for us....
