Thy hands have made me and fashioned me give me understanding
that I may learn thy commandments…
Psalm 119:73 KJV
******
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made…John 1:3 KJV
When we recognize and give value to that scripture above we begin to see that we are in existence because of Him. We are who we are because of Him. He made us…and He made everything you see. The sky, the trees, the dirt…the stars. All by His mighty hands of grace.
In all things we should thank Him and give Him praise.
****
To give praise to the LORD is essential to our well-being.
To believe in the LORD and His ways…is to live.
To go forth in His word and embrace His promises…is to have joy.

Jesus said, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” ( John 10:10 KJV)
Our LORD laid down His life not for His doctrine…but for His sheep.
He came to give us life and that through Him our joy would be complete…we would be filled with His love.
We are His sheep.
We are alive through Him.
We are free because of Him.
When we lift our brothers and sisters up we are honoring and following Him. We are doing His commandment of “love one another as I have loved you…”
God’s word is LIFE.
God’s word is LIGHT.
There is no death.
Christ defeated death.
He overcame the world…
He is victorious…and we are victorious through Christ.
Jesus said: “Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
(John 14:27 KJV)
When we embrace and accept Him and His word we are aligning with Him and obeying His commandment. He is telling us not to be “troubled or fearful” or to be afraid. He is peace. We are one with Him. His light shines on…and we are alive because of Him.
So…next time you’re in the “dark” don’t be fearful and don’t let your heart be troubled…just turn the light on and feel His peace.
Amen
