Some months ago I was struggling with fear when I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes. I had to have lots of testing done.  One day during that difficult time the Lord placed Psalm 121 on my heart. He is always right there when we need Him the most. He never leaves us; we leave Him. We get off track. We pull away from our relationship with Him due to our personal choices or life circumstances. Let us pray today that He will help us to place all of our trust in Him. He never fails!

As I got up this morning to pray, I felt God leading me to this scripture. I have been rereading Genesis and all of my Daily H.O.P.E.'s have come from there, but God wanted to speak to someone today. There are so many today that are sick in their bodies, heartbroken, or even emotionally scarred. Jesus wants to heal you today. I begin to study every word from Isaiah 53:5 and I was so amazed at what Christ has done for each and every one of us. I came to an understanding that Jesus was correcting what sin had done to our lives. It had separated us from Him. He was righting our wrong. We don't deserve His redemption, yet He did it anyway. What a mighty savior indeed!

Today He wants to give you true peace! Peace from rejection. Peace from failure. Peace from everything that you might encounter in the here and now. He is our healer! No one else has the power to do what He did on the cross. So receive your healing today and walk with the living, eternal savior and Lord of all, Jesus Christ. Be healed in Jesus!

All throughout biblical history, people turned away from serving God. In the midst of this turning away, God would always raise up one to speak His truth to the people. This is an example of God's grace. God knows that He designed us with a free will. He didn't want robots and He knew what it would take to reach us. I remember praying and asking God one day, "Lord why did you create us? We are so disobedient at times! We want what we want and that want is separate from You. So why did you create us, you didn't need us?" Then I heard a still small voice say to me, "I wanted a family."

Therefore, God continues throughout history to raise up men and women to speak His truth, so that He might redeem His family back to Himself.

I believe that society today truly resembles the above scripture. Just as the enemy deceived Eve into believing that she didn't need God if she had the knowledge of good and evil, the enemy is doing the same all around us. People have walked away from the foundation of our lives, God's Word. They are listening to the enemy whisper that they don't need God and that they have full control of their own lives. He is whispering that they are able to make the right decisions with God's intervention. However, one essential truth is left out by the enemy. God is greater than mankind! He is infinite! He created time and space and He is eternal. He knows our end from the beginning. We need His guidance. For without Him, we truly perish.

There are some things that the Lord has promised us. One is soul salvation from our sins through Jesus Christ. All we have to do is surrender to Him and be made whole. God has also promised us some other things. We have to stand firm and trust what He has said. It doesn't matter what our past or others may say. It only matters what God said! He knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb.  He did it for Abraham and He will do the same for us!

God is our maker! The keeper of our very souls. In today's world, this statement is not very popular. We live in a very different time. Many have turned from God and His Word. I pray for our hearts to return to God as He spoke to Israel so many times in scripture. God hasn't changed, society has. Our lifeblood is still required by Him. There is killing, abuse, and other evils all around us. Could it be that we need a revival? This can't take place without God, our Maker. We must return to Him who is the author of life. We can't make it without Him! We need not worry; He will destroy evil. Let us be found in His will!

So often we desire for our family members to make the right choices and walk with God. However, this scripture made me look at things a little different. Could it be that God is waiting on our obedience so that He can move miraculously in the lives of our family members? There may be some that may not be willing to obey or even believe in God, but God can move on hearts and deliver as we get in place, walk in relationship with Him, and seek His face on their behalf.

All too often, we see individuals that want to look like this person or have a shape like that person. We hardly ever see individuals that are content with who they are. Contrary to popular demand, we were created in God's image. This makes us beautiful just as we are! Outside of God, there is no image at all. Yes the world tries to delete God from our daily lives. This is done because the world understands that to be made in God's image means to submit the life that God gave to Him.

When we think of prayer, I don't really think we understand how truly important it is. Before we can pray, we have to first believe or the prayers are in vain. Before God brought Lot out, Abraham was in His presence interceding on behalf of those that were righteous in the city. His family member, Lot, was one of the individuals in that city. Although God still had to destroy the city after Abraham's prayer, He brought Lot and his daughters out.

Our relationship with God is so vital! God saves us and desires to save others through us. We must walk in true relationship with God and pray continuously for the souls of others that don't know Him.

When we read about Abraham, we may be thinking, "Why did God have to change his name?" Well at least I thought that. If we really stop and think about our own lives, we would love to erase some of the choices we have made or some of the horrible things that may have happened to us. When we come to Christ and allow Him to restore us, we are no longer who we used to be. Our name changes from sinner to saint. It is nothing that we have done, but God wants us to look ahead to where He is taking us in Christ. We can't hold on to our past and look to our future at the same time.
