Prayer is waiting. Prayer is not just talking to God. It’s waiting on God. It’s listening to God. . Prayer is not doing nothing. It is waiting expectantly. . The reason why you can wait on God is because you know who God is. You know He is faithful, and you are clinging on to His promises. . #Psalms #SongsOfPromise https://www.instagram.com/p/CDJDH4vJ2Id/?igshid=1uohsavxz3pg7

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” ‭‭— Psalm‬ ‭27:1 . The first step in overcoming fear, developing confidence in God, is a real, personal relationship with God. . Why is knowing God important? . The LORD is my LIGHT “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.” ‭‭— Psalm‬ ‭36:9 There are many things going on in this world, and many times, we do not know the truth, we do not know what the right perspective really is. The psalmist David is saying that based on God’s perspective, he can now begin to understand what’s happening. “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”” ‭‭— John‬ ‭8:12 Without Jesus, we are in darkness. But, once we follow Jesus, we can see. What do we base our judgment, our decision-making on? How do we determine what is right and what is wrong? By God’s perspective through Jesus. . The LORD is my SALVATION “And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” ‭‭— John‬ ‭17:3 Salvation begins with knowing who God is. The key to eternal life is relationship with God through Jesus. . The LORD is my REFUGE “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” ‭‭— John‬ ‭10:28 Salvation is in Jesus. To overcome fear, you have to have a relationship with God. You have to know who God is. . The truth is we face many dangers and fears. The only antidote to overcome fear is to know God. Not just to know about Him in your head — but really know Him personally, intimately. . Do you really know God? I’d like to share with you how I came to know Him, and help you know Him too.

Allow the truth from Psalm 139 to comfort you and give you hope, realizing that God knows you intimately. He loves you more than you can imagine and He is present with you in every place and in every situation, in everything and in everyway. Remember... God knows all about you. He is always with you. He remarkably made you. #ChristianMotivation #SimplyVictorious #SongsofPromise #reflections #devotional #godknows #psalm139 #goviral https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4MKsajWdt/?igshid=ikv9zooi9l9c

The evidence of intimacy with God is the transformation of our values. When you learn to love God, His desires become your desires. When you cultivate intimacy, you begin to do and love what God loves. You avoid what He wants you to avoid. . How do you make God happy? By living a holy life. By living a life pleasing to Him. . The heart is so deceitful that we need God’s grace for us to see our own heart. We need God to help us see our own sinfulness. . #Psalms #SongsOfPromise https://www.instagram.com/p/CC2VWt2J6Oil8NlYmxIrjqg28soJuOEXJL9yAI0/?igshid=1fcxa0jwjksgs

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139:13-16 . . . The Secret of Rest: Cultivate Intimacy with God . God is intimate with us. He knows us. He made us. Are we intimate with Him? Do we know Him? . . . “Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and KNOWS me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭9:23-24 . . . How can we be intimate with the Lord? Develop the habits of praying, speaking to Him, listening to Him, reading, MEDITATING on, and memorizing Scripture. . . . #Psalms #SongsOfPromise https://www.instagram.com/p/CCzm4USpg-AypFcoRf-F38iKA6Tm9PA5GQoWj80/?igshid=bp3v3czt7hin

Do you know that God has His own 91-1 to call and run to? When we're experiencing the test of life's struggles and the going gets scary, we don't need to fear. Because God's protection and security is solid and we can trust God's faithfulness that He keeps His promises. God gives 8 reasons of why we do not have to fear as long as we abide in His presence. He promises: “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” - Psalm 91:14-16 #ChristianMotivation #SimplyVictorious #SongsofPromise #godsprotection #Reflections #Devotional #psalm91 #GoViral https://www.instagram.com/p/CCyy15SjhRd/?igshid=fu09u0n3qbz6

THE CONDITION OF THE PROMISE: For those people who abide in the shelter of the Most High. Dwell comes from the word abide — from the word stay. Shelter means the secret place — the very presence of the Most High. To be under the shadow of the almighty speaks of nearness, of intimacy — if you are always in the presence of God. If you’re looking for security and safety, you can find it in the presence of God. . THE GIVER OF THE PROMISE: God Himself . PROMISE OF SECURITY/PROTECTION: - This promise does not mean you will always be exempted from problems, trials, or sickness - God promised to protect us in and through trials to ensure that His good purpose will be accomplished, and God’s best will eventually happen in our life for God’s glory - God guarantees our eternal well-being . For real security and safety in the midst of danger, there’s only one answer. God’s promise is if you are in His presence, if your are intimate with Him, you will have security. . Because of who God is, we trust Him. Cling on to Him, take shelter in Him, and be totally dependent on the Lord. . . . #Psalms #SongsOfPromise https://www.instagram.com/p/CChuvsppPNWKp-psiVM6XDWDkvkFIra7FPIIdY0/?igshid=vxrfr5an5t7q
