Thought of the Day-11/5/2009

Todays word is

Stand:

a. To remain stable, upright, or intact: The old school still stands.
b. To remain valid, effective, or unaltered: The agreement stands.
c. To be or show a specified figure or amount: The balance stands at $500.
d. To measure a specified height when in an upright position: stands six feet tall.
e. To take up or maintain a specified position, altitude, or course: He stands on his earlier offer. We will stand firm.

I must confess right now, that todays word is for me.

I pray that something in it will touch you also, but I

know that it has changed me and it has only just begun.

Here are some of the promises the Bible tells us are for those who put their trust in God :

Christ accepts us : Revelation 3:20; John 6:37
God gives eternal life : John 5:24; John 10:28
God forgives us : 1 John 1:7-9; Isaiah 1:18
God is faithful to us : Joshua 1:9; Isaiah 41:10
God comforts us : Psalm 23
Christ is always with us : Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5,6
God protects us from harm : Psalm 91; Psalm 121
God gives us courage : Hebrews 13:5,6; Ephesians 6:10-18
God gives us wisdom : James 1:5
God gives us the strength to refuse temptation : 1 Corinthians 10:6-13; James 1:12-16
God answers prayer : John 15:7
God gives peace of mind : Philippians 4:6,7
God guides us : Psalm 32:8,9

God relieves us from suffering : 2 Corinthians 12:8-10
God gives us rest : Matthew 11:28,29

Today we will look at and I will stand on Joshua 1:9

Joshua 1:9 (New International Version)
9) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

I can have peace, I can have rest. I can lay this feeling (temporary) down at the feet of the cross and trust God for all. If I were to stay in my temporary emotions, I would fall into an abyss.

I choose today to look past my nose, to look past my here and now emotion.

I am very thankful and grateful for the Word. For my Father has spoken to my heart today. I have used his Word to chase away the Giants of discouragement, fear and distress. For my Father says, "have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go"

Praise Ye the Lord
