Throughout my life, God has been so many things to me, too many to count. Here are a few of who I say God is to me. He is my grace, my light, my refuge, my hope, my freedom, my home, my rock, my victory, my provider, my healer, my peace and most of all My God.  So, now over to you, What and Who is God to you.  Have a beautiful week.

  Genesis 50:20   "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives"

1 Peter 5:6-7   "Humble yourselves... under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

Joshua 6:15-16 " On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, 'Shout! For the LORD has given you the city! '"

2 Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."

1 Kings 18:43-44 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.” The seventh time   the servant reported, “A cloud   as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”

1 Chronicles 29:12 "Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all."

Matthew 14:25-30 "Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. 'It's a ghost,' they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: 'Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.' 'Lord, if it's you,' Peter replied, 'tell me to come to you on the water.' 'Come,' he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, 'Lord, save me!'"

Exodus 13:17-18 " When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, 'If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.' So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea."

1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

  Matthew 18:21-22 "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'"

Psalm 119:112-116, ESV "I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the end. I hate the double-minded, but I love your law. You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word. Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope!"

  Philippians 4:6-7, NKJV " Be anxious for nothing , but in everything by prayer and supplication , with thanksgiving , let your requests be made known to God ; and the peace of God , which surpasses all understanding , will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus ."

2 Timothy 1:14 "Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you — guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us."

John 19:30 "When he had received the drink, Jesus said, 'It is finished.' With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." With Jesus' dying words in John 19:30 , He flipped the script on human history.

Often people confuse the word ‘’around’’ to mean the same thing as ‘’through’’ in their sentences.  Around: To reach a new place or position, typically by moving from one side of something to the other. Through: Movement into at one side or point and out at another side especially the opposite side. 

Luke 23:46 "Jesus called out with a loud voice, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.' When he had said this, he breathed his last." When Jesus spoke His very last words in Luke 23:46 , His life on Earth ended. But His eternal reign in our lives was just beginning.

The greatest proof of passion is not stepping out in faith but staying put. Happy new months may the month bring fulfillment of God's promises over our lives.

Matthew 6:12 says ''And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors''. As you go about your day today some people will offend you they will get you paranoid but do not let their character stop the flow of fogginess towards them. Have a beautiful day.

  Philippians 4:8 "Brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things."
