God Does Not Let You Down

 


Have you ever had someone let you down, whether it was in the past or even now? I have great news.  God will never let you down or break his word. He is always there. No matter where you are at, what you are doing or what you are going through, He is by your side, even if He does not agree with everything you do. Remember the verse Zephaniah 3:17 New International Version (NIV)
17 “The Lord your God is with you,”





When I am going thru a rough patch, there is a poem that I always turn to and apply to my life is “Footprints in the Sand” by Mary Stevenson. I love the idea that God is walking with me and when I need it, He is carrying me. God will never abandon me. I know that deep in my heart and He will not abandon you either. If He needs to, He will carry you in His loving arms until you get through any issues you are dealing with. Not once will your feet hit the hot sand, let Him help you.

You want to talk? He will listen. No matter what, even if you think it is small. Nothing is too small for Him. 1 Peter 5:7(NIV)
7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”





You do not even have to worry about Him checking His cell phone while you are talking to Him. He also will not tell anyone what you talked about. So you do not have to worry about gossip or rumors.

I have forgotten many times that God does things in His time, not mine. So what may be days for you it could only be seconds for Him. I have also heard people say “Why isn’t God answering my prayers.” I always joke that God would have to write me a letter so I would know. Could it be that God is answering our prayers, but we are not listening or we close our ears because we do not like the way He answers them. God knows what is best for us. I know. It is hard to swallow His answer when it is not what you want or think you want. Remember Jonah and the whale. If you do not remember it, turn to your bible and read it. No need to say more. Except, it does not hurt to ask God, but be willing if He tells you something you do not like. Then again, you never know, it could be just what you are asking for.


Luke 11:9King James Version (KJV)
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.







God loves you. There is no reason to doubt how much He cares for you. He gave his son to die on the cross for our sins, so we can have internal life. He will not let you down.





Thank you God for all that you do.

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper By Jill Sheets Summery came from  http://www.fionaingram.com/ "Continuing the adventure that ended in Britain just a short while ago, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious stones lost centuries ago. The third stone might be located in an ancient city, hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle. When their small plane crashes in the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James are rescued by an uncontacted tribe. James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy, Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to find the city. Riding makeshift rafts on a crocodile-infested river and evading predators are just part of this hazardous task. Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the

Chit Chatting with Naomi D. Nakashima  Interviewed by: Jill Sheets   J: Tell us about yourself and how you got your start writing? N: I actually couldn’t tell you how I got my start in writing—I just always remember writing. I know there have been a couple of pivotal moments that have helped shape my career, like when I was nine years old, watching Romancing the Stone , that’s when I knew the kind of impact an author could have on people. Or in my last year at grad school, several of my professors had asked for my help with writing and publishing their books, and that’s how I learned I have a real knack for helping people tell their stories. J: Tell us about your book, "Write Out Loud," and how did you come up with the idea for the book? N: I have actually wanted to write a book that would help other people learn a bit more about how to write a book for a really long time, it’s been sitting in a pile with other works in progress for years. But then last year, as I was closing

What I Need to Hear (Review of "Write Out Loud") Written by:  Jill Sheets I have been dealing with issues with my writing for some time now, so I was excited to find the book, “Write Out Loud,” by Naomi D. Nakashima, on WOW.  I looked forward to reading the book and reviewing it. She talks about procrastination, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, confidence, starting to write the first draft of your story, and overcoming and identifying fears (just to name a few). The book covered everything that I needed to hear, read, or wondered about.  I am sure you have read something from another writer and felt they were talking to you.  That is what I felt.  This is an inspirational book that gives terrific advice and is a fast read.  I recommend this book to anyone who is a writer or wants to become one.
