God is with us and there is no one like Him

📖  Isaiah 40:8-31

"The grass may wither and the flowers fade, but the Word of our God stands forever." Isaiah 40:10 (NIV)

Wow, Lord! There is absolutely no one like you! These verses in Isaiah speak to me in such a beautiful way. It just amazes me beyond comprehension that the Lord who, "held the oceans in His hand," the One who, "knows the weight of the Earth," This amazing, all-powerful Creator is the One we get to call our Heavenly Father. He's the One we get to turn to and communicate in prayer with when things aren't going so well. He's the One that protects us, fights for us, and us His own.

 "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of him who brought you out of darkness and into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)

This new year, let's take the time to proclaim His praises, let's take the time to let people know about the God who changed our lives, who took took us out of the darkness, the God who brought us into His marvelous light and changed us for the better. Let's take the time to know Jesus. This new year, this new decade, let's take the time to know Emmanuel who is "God with us." 

"Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The LORD is an everlasting God, the Creator of all the Earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of His understanding. He gives power to the weak, and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and nt grow weary, they will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:28-31 (NIV)

Like Shampoo and Conditioner

Something that's really been hitting me recently is the necessity we have to pray and read the Bible everyday. Soon after we become new Christians we have this longing feeling to find out more. Surely there's more to this, isn't there? The answer to that question is yes, there is so much more. The thing is, to have a personal relationship with Jesus, you need to get to know him just as you would with any other person. Prayer and Bible reading go together like shampoo and conditioner. You can't have one without having the other. What happens if you only put shampoo on your hair? It cleans it, but it leaves it feeling dry and brittle. And if you only put conditioner on your hair, it leaves it feeling soft and smooth but it isn't truly clean. The same thing happens with Bible reading and prayer, like I stated before, "You can't have one without having the other." 📖  "You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being ...

Cast Your Cares on Him!

Sometimes life throws us a curveball and we find ourselves staring blankly at what's to come ahead. We grow anxious, we grow weary, we grow tired and we lack that peace that only God can bring. I can speak from personal experience when I say that sometimes things happen and the only thing you can do is pray, but even so you still wish you could do more and it breaks your heart that you can’t. In one particular occasion, not too long ago actually, I was praying for someone but felt this terrible uneasiness about the situation I was praying for. After a while, decided to open my Bible and look for verses that speak about peace, because only God and His Word could bring me the peace I needed in that moment. Interestingly enough, I stumbled across a verse in Philippians that reads, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 That's when it hit me, through this verse, G...
