The Shelter Of The Most High

Have you ever thought that all was lost? Have you ever thought that you couldn't make it another day? Have you ever wondered how did I get myself into this mess? NO hope, and wanting to die. Many years ago this was where I was at. I gain hope again through Jesus Christ. He became real for me when I began to get real with Him. Every so often a storm blows my way, but I have learned one valuable lesson in life. I have a shelter today in Jesus Christ - a place of refuge. Psalm 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. My goal today from my past struggles is to share the love and hope that come for knowing Jesus Christ. Do I still struggle or go through tough things - of course, its different when your source of strength comes for the Creator. I can tell you about your resources for daily living if you tell me who is your source of strength. I hurt, go through struggles, feel like giving up, have financial troubles at times, marital challenges, but what makes all the difference in the world is that I have a loving and caring God who will see me through.

My Determined Purpose

This past month a catastrophic storm blew in my life, and shook me to the core of my being. I thought that I have been through the biggest storm of my life, until this past month. The circumstance completely caught me off guard, and I found myself losing my joy, and fire for God. I decided physically that I was walking away from ministry, and helping others, but deep within I felt the love of God ministering, and loving me. God has blessed me with some remarkable friends that has been loving, and encouraging me. I realized one valuable lesson from this test of faith. At some point in life we have to make a decision that we are going to move forward and live out our dreams regardless the cost. "My Determined Purpose" is not comfort, a lavish lifestyle, a mega ministry, but to know and become more like Christ. We do incredible things and rise above the circumstances of life through our relationship with Christ. We forget ourselves which allows God to work through us to reach the world for Him.
