Scriptures

Isaiah 33
2 O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for you. Be our arm every morning,    our salvation in the time of trouble.

5 The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high;    he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness,

6 and he will be the stability of your times,    abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge;    the fear of the Lord is Zion's[a] treasure.

15 He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed and shuts his eyes from looking on evil,

16 he will dwell on the heights;    his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;    his bread will be given him; his water will be sure.

17 Your eyes will behold the king in his beauty;    they will see a land that stretches afar.

21 But there the Lord in majesty will be for us    a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars can go,    nor majestic ship can pass.

22 For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our lawgiver;    the Lord is our king; he will save us.

Psalms 146

English Standard Version
Put Not Your Trust in Princes
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live;    I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 Put not your trust in princes,    in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;    on that very day his plans perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,    whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 who made heaven and earth,    the sea, and all that is in them,who keeps faith forever;
7     who executes justice for the oppressed,    who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8     the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;    the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the sojourners;    he upholds the widow and the fatherless,    but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10 The Lord will reign forever,    your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!

Observation:

The LORD tests human kind everyday, but HE will strengthen only those who fully rely on HIM, HE is gracious, HE will never let anyone who truly believes in HIM and trust HIM to be disappointed. HE wants HIS people to fear HIM, to be like HIM - righteous and holy. HE is testing us whether we would follow HIM or not because in obeying HIM no matter who difficult, is a sign that we truly are trusting GOD.

Application:

I want to keep following KING JESUS no matter how difficult it is. But HE knows how difficult it is on our own, so HE always assures us that when we do obey HIM even if our hearts shake, HE will come through for us, HE will never abandon us, HE will do it for us, that is why we live daily depending on HIS grace and HIS Strength is what enables us to do what HE has called us to do. But it takes courage to keep chosing JESUS when we know we can do things our way, it takes a lot of faith to keep doing what is right when it is easier to do what is wrong. Still GOD is faithful and HE will supply us with everything to keep winning when we chose to keep trusting in HIM by following HIS instructions and directions in our lives. HE makes me holy! 

Prayers:

Thank YOU AVI FATHER that YOU are everything I need to win every battle in life, YOU will make me more than a conqueror because YOU have already overcome the world. Thank YOU GOD!!!! YOU are more than enough for me! Please always satisfy and complete me each day with YOUR love and kindness to me.

In JESUS Name AMen!
