Job Leon

The psalmist David beautifully penned the picture of how we feel when we are afraid. First, we realize that we are afraid and then the Holy Spirit speaks tenderly God's Holy Word to your spirit and you're comforted. Secondly, we are strengthen by God's Word. Now by faith we walk with God knowing that all things are in His hands and He will work out all things for your good. Thirdly, we rest on God's promises! Aww, we come to the fresh living water and sit as we wait with expectation for God to work His perfect plan. So, the reality is that there is no reason to be afraid. Fear can paralyze. When we focus on our fears instead of on God, we become helpless. But when we trust God to help us, we then can face our fears. The  Lord  is my light and my salvation      so why should I be afraid? The  Lord  is my fortress, protecting me from danger,      so why should I tremble? when my enemies and foes attack me, ...

Do you believe that God hears only certain requests? It is true that we should offer God praise, confession and petitions, but it is also true that God is willing to listen to anything  we want to tell him.

No, not a request for someone else; but rather speak to Him from your heart. You may find it much easier to pray for others than for yourself, but take this challenge. Open your heart and pour out your concerns to God and you will sense His love pouring over you. Let's take a time out with God, just you and Him!

Have you read the pages of the Song of Songs? Oh, its a beautiful love story of wanting & waiting on the lover of your soul. It is the perfect modern day love story of how a couple longs for one another as they wait for their designated time of marriage. ROMANCE Romantic attraction can generate emotions that overpower reason. Often a person will become enamored with someone and rush to develop an intimate relationship based on strong feelings. But remember, feelings will not be enough to support a lasting relationship. This verse encourages us not to force romance lest the feelings of love grow faster than that of the commitment which is much needed, to make love last. Song of Songs "Promise me, O women of Jerusalem, by the swift gazelles and the deer of the wild, not to awaken love until the time is right." Let us remember and teach one another to patiently wait for commitment and feelings of love to develop together.
