GOD says put all cares aside and have Faith in HIM

Good Morning

It’s FRIDAY

We made it through the week..

With the JOY expected of this new day putting aside all cares as

We look up to GOD.

As we come expecting

GOOD THINGS.

My Granny would always say that.

A song from Oral Roberts a long time ago.

Something good is going to happen to you.

Granny sang it before breakfast Pig.

The song stayed in my head and as a child it made me happy to hear it.

Today as we know our

BLESSINGS ARE NEW EVERY MORNING.

Lamentations 3:23

Pig smiled..

Pig likes happy thoughts .

Pig and I are setting our hearts

To the things above instead of the things below ..

That means we are not collecting any of the bad stuff in our mind.

And as you know PIG,

The things that weigh us down.

The things that are wearisome that make us tired.

Today we have decided to

NOT entertain in our mind that’s not the GOOD STUFF to think on.

So, we are throwing out all the

NOT OF GOD things to rest our minds in.

SO WE CAN BE HAPPY TODAY

And

DO WHAT WE CAN DO

AND

LEAVE THE REST TO GOD.

That is called casting all your cares on GOD and having Faith

That HE will take care of it. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power.

2 Timothy 3:2

Pig, Do you know ?

HE SAYS THIS IS THE TIME TO LOOK UP

Luke 21:28

And

To be still

And

KNOW HE IS GOD.

Psalm 46:10

WHEN you see

The

Things on earth that is not of GOD

ate changing more than ever?

I see it now. Pig said.

I said,

then WE NEED

TO STAND ON HIS PROMISES.

Like HE SAYS PIG,

Your redemption draweth nigh

LUKE 21:28

It’s when you see these things happen in the world that

HE TOLD US ABOUT in the Bible.

know

HE IS COMING BACK SOON.

BE READY.

1 Thessalonians 4:13

Comfort yourself with these words

We who are alive will meet him in the AIR

IN THE CLOUDS and be with those that have gone before us

and FOREVER we will be with

THE LORD

That is describing the moment we wait for called the Catching up

The HARPAZO

in Greek

Suddenly catches up away

Others call it

The rapturous in Latin

We call it

THE RAPTURE

1 Thessalonians  4:17

Until Then Pig,

WE WAIT.

STAND FIRM.

Do not be swayed to the left or to the right

We WALK STRAIGHT

WE WALK THE LINE

Like JOHNNY CASH in the song

I WALK THE LINE

We continue our course

To do good.

Do what is right by GOD STANDARDS.

Not our own.

BE STRONG

How do you do that ?

Pig asked.

I am just little and small and

I don't understand much.

Well, Pig

You know good from evil

Yep. Pig said

That’s easy so easy and at the same time

it just hard to believe that's all you need to know.

Pig I said,

You need to know what GOD says in the Bible so you have

PEACE

HOPE

FAITH

LOVE

This knowing gives you strength

To walk the line.

BUT

YOU HAVE TO DO IT

or

IT DOESN’T WORK..

I ask you this first.

In the story of DAVID AND  GOLIATH

What made DAVID Strong?

I don’t know ?

Pig replied.

that’s why I am asking you .

Funny pig..

Keep thinking about it

Ok, Pig said.

As I continued telling her the story.

A teenager of no weight really

His weapon he had was only a sling shot

And a target about 6 or 7 inches on head of a giant that was the only thing not covered with armour on this,

GIANT OF A MAN

Called GOLIATH..

That means BIG.

Pig

He is

FULL OF AMOUR?

WITH an ARMOUR GUARD

2 against one.

I figure that’s the way it is today..

Not fair and everthing that is set up against you pretty much every day.

Like at

School all their rules and things they teach you there nothing of GOD.

If you get through the day without trouble it was a good day.

At Work the things there

not always work by the rules not

Encouraging to be there with unfair practices but you push through trying to get along.

Life in general with the earth rules and regulations.

The

prices of things to try and live with.

Wages that don’t match all the costs that keep going up

taxes and more things that those who be in power today.

To think of more things to cost more to make it harder for you like medical insurance or

Insurance for your car or house double you name it

and then weekly food and gas prices..

So Pig come on think about

I am. Pig said.

My brain is hurting

Stop it. Pig I said laughing.

You are so funny …

My precious Pig you can do it..

It’s SO SIMPLE.

I said .

Then Pig said

Ok, I give up.

What is it?

Ok , Pig.

IT IS THE WORD OF GOD

It's THE BIBLE.

Really ? Pig said.

I replied, Yes.

YOU NEED TO READ IT.

AND

KNOW IT

That’s what made

DAVID BRAVE.

THATS WHAT MADE DAIVID

CLOSE TO GOD.

WITH NO FEAR.

Pig, I sad, he hid GOD and HIS WORD

IN HIS HEART.

HE sang to GOD and wrote songs to GOD and played instruments and he made some of them to Praise GOD with HIS WORD.

HE KNEW THE WORD OF GOD

How ?

Pig asked.

BY MEMORIZING THE SCRIPTURE

IN THE BIBLE

BY READING

BY PRAYING

BY SINGING

BY MEDITATING IN THE WORD

REPEATING

THE

SCRIPTURES

IN HIS MIND OVER AND OVER SO ALL DOUBT WAS REMOVED

AND

THEN

THE WORD WAS CONFIRMED

In HIS MIND , SOUL AND SPIRIT.

Pig this is the secret of strength

not only for David but for all of us too.

THE WORD THAT GAVE HIM

FAITH

HOPE AND DIRECTION

CONFIDENCE

DISCERNMENT which means he understood the scriptures through the eyes of GOD.

THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN EACH CHILD OF GOD

THAT HAS SAID YES, TO JESUS

JOHN 3:16

GIVES YOU POWER and FAITH .

HE GAVE HIM WISDOM

ASSURANCE THAT GOD WOULD NOT LEAVE HIM

ANGELS BEFORE HIM AND AROUND HIM.

HE HAD CONFIDENCE

BECAUSE HE KNEW

GOD WAS WITH HIM

AND

WOULD NOT LEAVE  HIM IN THE BATTLE ALONE ..

HE WAS ABLE

TO STAND UP AND FIRMLY ON THE WORD OF GOD.

AND

NOT BE AFRAID .

JUST LIKE TODAY

NOT TO BE LIKE THE OTHERS

THAT HAVE NO DIRECTION

OR STRENGTH.

Not knowing GOD

JUST BLOWING IN THE WIND.

The battle ground of

lots of people all of them just waiting

On both sides watching to see what GOD would provide in defense of THE LIVING CREATOR GOD.

Or WOULD the enemy win?

And then a teenager with

FAITH IN GOD

TOOK ON THE BATTLE

RAN THE RACE OF LIFE

REPRESENTING GOD

STRAIGHT INTO THE BATTLE

AND GOD WAS

WITH HIM

and HE TOOK ACTION

GOD EQUIPPED HIM

BY PRACTICE

Note the word practice Pig.

With his weapon of warfare of protection as well as prayer and the knowledge of GODS WORD in him

AND

WITH HIS SLING

DOING HIS JOB

GUARDING THE SHEEP

HE KNEW

HE COULD DO IT.

HE KILLED A LION AND A BEAR.

The battle was already won

In DAVIDS MIND

BECAUSE IN TRUTH,

The battle starts in our mind

And

THE THEN THE TRUE BATTLE

IS THE LORDS as HE equips you to rebuke the devil by JESUS NAME.

So you are not weakened but to

Receive STRENGTH.

The fighting of thoughts also called darts in Psalm 91 from the devil

that means its the stuff you don’t see

And

The hidden agendas

The plans of the enemy every day

That you need to be equipped with your spiritual

Armor or Amour

STARTING with PRAYER .

YOU NEED TO BE PRACTICED IN PRAYER .

I pray Pig says.

I know You do .

I replied you need to be ready

TO FIGHT THE ENEMYS that

LIES IN YOUR HEAD

You don’t go into battle Pig.

Without a plan of defense.

You don’t go into battle without a covering or weapons of warfare.

Our weapons are not of Earth

We are starting with your head.

Your helmet of salvation or go to battle with no head covering ?

And no mind of Christ which is your

Salvation ?

This

Determines what side you are on.

Pick a side

GOD which is life eternal in Christ your Savior doing good with purity and living pleasing to GOD

or

THE DEVIL doing the things of the earth and the desires everything of the flesh thinking the way of the earth and its way of no conscience ..

2 . What's your MOTIVE for the day

Is your FEET in the direction of peace ?

Or

direction of whatever you feel is right to cause problems to anyone because you want to or feel like it?

3 .SWORD of the SPIRIT

Which is TRUTH

THE WORD OF GOD

that cuts the enemy

In pieces

Or

Will your SWORD BE

LIES AND MANIPULATION OF A SITUATION IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH TO DECIDE WHAT YOU THINK  IS TRUE AND

GO FOR IT?

4. The SHEILD OF FAITH

BELIEVING

THE WORD OF GOD

HE SPOKE

AND THE WORLD AND YOU BECAME YOU.

KNOWING GOD AND HIS WORDS PRINTED TO READ

Or

IS YOUR DEFENSE LIES

THAT  YOU TELL YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE STRONGER BECAUSE

YOU ARE ABLE IN YOUR OWN POWER AND BRING

THAT MIND SET IN TO THE BATTLE OF GOOD IN THE EVIL TO FIGHT WITH

POWERED  BY THE DEVIL TO YOUR OWN DEMISE

5. TO KEEP YOUR ARMOR ON

YOU HAD TO HAVE

A BELT ON

Which is RIGHTEOUSNESS

THIS IS THAT

IT HELD IT ALL ON TOGETHER

FOR YOUR SWORD

WHICH IS KNOWING THE WORD OF GOD AND HOW TO USE EVERTHING GIVEN YOU IN YOUR AMORY

OR

WILL YOU FIGHT WITH EVERY WEAPON AVAILABLE

ON EARTH

HOPING THAT THIS IS OR THAT

WILL BE THE RIGHT WEAPON TO USE TO THE BATTLE TO FIGHT YOUR ENEMY OF TRUTH WITH..

AND YOU THINK IT WILL BE EFFECTIVE

BECAUSE YOU HAVE IT WITH YOU?

LOOK AT GOLIAH

HE HAD IT ALL ON EVERY PROTECTION WEAPON KNOWN

AND

HE MISSED GOD PROTECTION

AND

HIS DEVOTION TO THE WRONG GOD

DAVID A CHILD OF GOD

AND HIS

STRENGTH

THROUGH THE BELIEF OF GODS WORD

A CHILD OF GOD

THAT

BELIEVED HE COULD WIN

BECAUSE GOD WAS WITH HIM

HE HAD FAITH WITH HIM

AND IN HIM

AND

HE DID ..  WIN THE BATTLE

AND DON’T FORGET THE GIANT AND HIS WORDS OF ACCUSATIONS AGAINST DAVID

AND GOD HIMSELF.

AND

DAVID FOUGHT BACK

WITH THE WORD OF GOD

WITHOUT FEAR

WITH A DECLARATION

HE CAME IN THE NAME OF THE LORD

AND HE WOULD CUT OFF

HIS HEAD WITH

HIS SWORD AND FEED THE BIRDS WITH IT.

HE PROCLAIMED IN HIS MIND AS WELL

IN THE AIR

ENERGIZING IT TO BREAK THE ATMOSPHERE OF FEAR

AND CHARGED THE AIR WITH

FAITH IN GOD.

HE SUCCEEDED TO ALL THAT WAS SAID WITH FAITH

WITH THE HEART OF GOD

FOR GOD TO DO

WHAT US PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT..

ANEN AND AMEN

Pig said I have to cut off a giants head to win?

With the having armour of GOD

Yes, Pig.

WHAT ?

Yes PIG

Our GIANTS ARE FEAR

DOUBT

WORRY

ANXIETY

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

AND PIG

sometimes Yes,

we have to go in actual war too

But by our MILITARY.

But

Pig your job is here at home

Is

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

by HOW ?

Pig asked.

As SHE ANSWERED

I KNOW NOW

By THE WORD OF GOD

AND PRAYER

AND

PRAISE.

Yes, Pig well spoken.

YOU LISTENED ..

Wisdom means applied knowledge

So what do we do Pig besides eat pancakes?

She quickly responded,

STOP

DROP

PRAY

AND READ GODS WORD

YEP, I replied.

Amen.

Pig said.

Let’s go eat now.

My stomach has the rumbles .

Ok,

My funny

Pig let’s do.

I said.

We

Prayed and gave  thanks

And that’s what we did..❤️

Amen 🙏

Our story for today

The love of GOD

With kisses on the cheek

And a hug around the neck

From Pig and me

Always feel loved because

You are.

GOD says so.
