I Will Never Leave Thee Nor Forsake Thee

Memory Verse: Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

This is a reminder for us Christians, that we should be contented of the things we have. We should not covet other people's possessions. Why? Because God promised us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Isn't that is more than enough? The almighty God is always with us, the creator and heaven and earth, the one who owns the universe will never forsake us. What else should we worry about?

Sufficient Grace

Memory Verse: 2 Corinthian 2:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

We know that Paul, during his ministry, suffered from physical infirmities. Prior to this verse, he mentioned that he besought the Lord, not only once, but thrice, that his thorn of the flesh may depart from him. And this is God's answer to him. God did not take away his infirmities from assured Paul that His grace is sufficient for him.

What a great promise, isn't? We maybe in trouble or in pain or in financial crisis at the moment, but always remember that His grace is sufficient for us. He will supply whatever our needs at the moment. He is just waiting for us to claim them from Him. So what are you waiting for? Kneel down and bring unto God your need and wait for His answer.

Have a blessed day!

Unimaginable Gift

Today's memory verse is found in 1 Corinthian 2:9. The Bible says "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." Isn't this is a wonderful promise? God has prepared something for us, which no man has ever conceived in mind nor in heart? What might it be? Truly, God's wisdom is infinite. It is incomparable to man's thinking. So let us love the Lord with all our hearts, mind, and soul and expect the unimaginable gift from God.

I Corinthian 10:13

Just like any other human being, a child of God is not exempted from sufferings... from temptations... from pains... from heartache... from things which can cause terrible hurts. Each one of us has our own cross to carry, the weight of the cross may vary depending on our strength, our faith, our abilities to carry them. The way we carry it will also depend on us. Are we going to allow these burdens kill us? Will we allow our sufferings snatch our joys and peace of mind?

Let us not forget that our God is an all-knowing God and He knows that we will experience these troubles in life so He gave us a promise to comfort us and remind us that He will not allow us to suffer beyond our capacity to bear it.

I want to share the verse I usually claim when I am in the midst of trouble. The verse is in

I Corinthian 10:13. The Bible says "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

I am sharing this verse today because I myself is claiming this verse right now. I am emotionally down these last few days and I have no where to go except to my ever loyal friend, Jesus. I am hurting and I almost want to give up, but God has a promise that every problem has a solution. But what if the solution is not in my hand and beyond my control? Should I give up? Nah! I can still kneel down and pray. God is not only an all-knowing God but an all-powerful God as well. Nothing is impossible with Him. He can make use of the most impossible means to make a way for me. He can squeeze the hardest heart to make it soft and sensitive for me. All I need to do is Be Still, and wait for the salvation of the Lord. I will definitely overcome all the pains, either He will stop the person who is hurting me or He will make me insensitive of the pains. Either way, I must come out of this triumphantly. May God be with me.

Isaiah 40:31

Today's memory verse is in ISAIAH 40:31. The bible says "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

What a wonderful promise isn't? As a working mom, I know the feeling of weariness. There are a lot of things to do and I have only two hands to do all of them. Sometimes it is really frustrating. But here, God is promising a strength that will not worn out. A strength that is similar to the eagle's wing that would allow us to do everything through God who gives us the strength. God knows that Christians are also human and is not exempted from all the feelings that any human being can feel. That is why He provided us with so much promises like this to renew not only our physical strength but more importantly our faith towards HIM.

Are tired? Are you weary? Why not claim this promise? God is waiting for us to just give HIM all our burdens and weariness. HIS two arms are waiting for us to give us comfort through HIS loving embrace.

Ephesians 3:20-21

Today's memory verse can be found in Ephesians 3:20-21. The Word of God says "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."

There is one point in my life that I always recite this verse in my mind. This is my way of reminding myself that God cannot be confined in a "box". My God is all powerful and He can do things beyond my thinking. I still claim this promise whenever I realized that my capacity is not enough to accomplish certain task or if I am praying for something that I know that I cannot have if I will only depend on my own ability.

How about you? What promise in the Bible do you claim?
