God the Comforter

“I, I am he who comforts you;
    who are you that you are afraid of man who dies,
    of the son of man who is made like grass,
 and have forgotten the Lord, your Maker,
    who stretched out the heavens
    and laid the foundations of the earth"
                                                      Isaiah 51:12-13


Let this sink in....

Isn't it so true!?

With everyday "stuff" it is so easy to see our struggles to grow over us. Our worries appear to become much bigger than our LORD.


We see ourselves being beaten down by our everyday routine, and we cry out to the LORD--"I don't think I can do this anymore, I can't handle everything that You gave me to carry. Help me!"


But in reality God is always there, near us and we made our worries so much bigger than what they really are that it scares us to even think about them. We painted our struggles to be giants over us, taking control of our lives, emotions, feelings, etc... while God is just there, looking at all of this from afar.

That is not true!

This world is quick to intimidate us, and make us look like we're crazy if we do not constantly worry about  the everyday things, if we do not "see" the big struggle giant and obey it.

God's Word was sent to us for the purpose to calm us down, to encourage  us and teach us how to live the right way and bring Glory to His name.

God constantly encourages us through His word, and gives us inner peace that we can do it, we can live this life and go through struggles and come out stronger and happier than we've even been before!

Why do we bring Glory to the God that we cannot see? Because He created us, and later sent his only Son to be crucified for all people, so they and we all can have an everlasting life, if we Only believe in Him and abide by His Word.

" O  Lord , you have  searched me and known me! ...even the darkness is not dark to you;      the night is bright as the day,      for darkness is as light with you ... I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;      my soul knows it very well... How precious to me are your  thoughts, O God!      How vast is the sum of them! ... Search me, O God, and know my heart!      Try me and know my thoughts! 24  And see if there be any grievous way in me,      and  lead me in  the way everlasting! " Psalm 139:1,12,14,17,23,24 This is such an amazing psalm that David wrote down and that we have now. I will never stop being amazed with the relationship that David had with the LORD. This psalm was David's prayer to the LORD, it is written in such a personal and deep level that it is hard to skim over this psalm. This ps...

What’s the deal with Easter, is it even real?

I wonder how many people actually understand the meaning of Easter? Not just people, but people that say they’re followers of Christ.  If you’re celebrating something I would think you need to know the history behind it, right? I might be to naive to believe people care about history these days, but as a firm believer in Jesus Christ history is very important to me.  Yes, history! Jesus Christ was actually alive and did die, and rose from the dead. Some might say that its only recorded in the Bible and how can a person rely on one source?  Well to begin the Bible is 66 different books, so technically it’s not one source. But the events of Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and then Him walking amongst the people after His death was recorded not only in the first 4 books of the New Testament but it was also mentioned in ancient Roman and Jewish history. There were also many folk tales that were orally passed down that mention Jesus of Nazareth... there is so much ev...
