Visiting my dad..on day...36 I think...his voice was a bit clearer...mom and I were telling him" you are going to get better and get home" he responded in his whisper; "I know, that is what the Lord told me."
AMEN TO THAT!
It doesn't mean tomorrow, it doesn't mean it will be easy, but Dad knows he will be getting better and going home because the Lord told him so! We did not get a chance to ask him "at what point the Lord told him." Early on in this ....or recently...since he was able to come off the ventilator.
How many of us, when our circumstances look grim, hold on to what the Lord tells us?
📖 This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. Isaiah 48:17
📖 Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you. Isiah 54:10
📖 “This, then, is how you should pray; “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts l, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from the evil one.’
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:14-13
📖 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14:27
📖 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
📖 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one wèho asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5: 39-48
📖 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” Luke 5:20
📖 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace. Luke 7:50
📖 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.
30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. Luke 12:22,30-31
📖 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18 -20
📖 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40
Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. Mark 11:22
These are only a small portion of "what the Lord said". Open up a Bible and read much more. Spend time in prayer, have faith in what the Lord says.
🙏My prayer for you this week is that you want to read what the Lord says, you spend time in His word and with Him and hear what He has for you.❤
