Keeping Promises

Noah's Ark

God told Noah to build a ship.
He called it an Ark.

"Gather two of every animal", God said. So Noah went to the jungle and found....two tigers.

Noah visited the desert to find...two camels. In the forest, Noah found two bears...

Male and female of each kind...
And they all went into the Ark!!

Then the rain came, but the animals were safe. So was Noah's family.

Many days later, the rain stopped.
Noah and the animals were safe.

Noah's ark landed on mount Ararat.
God promised never to flood the Earth again. He made a sign to remind us of his promise!

Genesis 9:17
So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth".

You are the God Who Cares!!

Hagar was found by El-Roi

To encourage and bless her!

God hears every word!

The Lord has heard your affliction!

God Always Knows!

You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees!

Blessings!!!

God Sees Your Value

Thinking of Hagar by the well
where God met her.

 Her situation was complicated, 

but God met her right there;

GOD met her deepest need 

"to understand what was happening 

and to receive his blessing".

His blessing will always need our part

 in keeping ourselves true to God

 in deep trust,  obedience and humility.

We must not try to help God like Sarai did

 when she gave her maid servant

 to her husband to be his wife.

When God gives us a promise,

 He is able to fulfill it. 

We need to wait in trust and

 grow into his promise.

God cannot be rushed.

 His timing is perfect.

The Way of Peace

The Way of Peace

God is training us in steadfastness. Whatever we might be facing at this very moment, we must rest assured that God is in control. He is with us and He can calm the storms of life.

That is why we can respond calmly and confidently, knowing that God is with us always.

As soon as something or someone grabs your attention, talk to God about it. Thus God shares in our joys and sorrows and viceversa.

God helps us cope with whatever lies before us. This is how God lives and works through us. This is the Way of Peace.

Psalm 112:7; Isaiah 41:10

Lift up Your Shield of Faith

Good morning,
Dear Warriors!!

Above all its time to take the shield of FAITH with which we are able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one (fear, doubt and worry are those arrows; thoughts that are like flames aimed to your precious life).

Lift up your SHIELD of faith, FAITH comes through hearing his Word!!

His WORD is also our SWORD OF THE SPIRIT as we PRAY always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplications for all the saints.

Hear and believe!!
Act upon his Word!!
Be strong in the LORD
and in the Power of his Might!!

 STAND FIRM

Ephessians 6: 16-18
Be blessed!!

Hope for the Nations

In him was life, and the life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Love never fails. There is no limit to God’s love. It fills all space, time and eternity. It shines. May you experience how wide and long and high and deep is the love of God for us all!

Jesus has promised to always be with us.
We can walk purposefully with Him, as He directs our course one step at a time.
 We are his followers. We thank him for each blessing along the way; this brings joy to us and to Him!!

Think of all those ships in storms who can see the light from far away and come safely home to shore. Jesus is our life an our light. He will always shine for us and He will take us safely home. We will live eternally with Him.

Jesus Calms the Storm

Bible Story from Mark 4: 35-41

One evening Jesus said to his apostles, ‘Let us sail to the other side of the lake’.
When their boat was out on the water, a storm arose. Winds blew and waves beat against the sides of the little vessel. But Jesus had fallen asleep.

The apostles woke him and cried, “Master, save us or we shall drown!” And Jesus stood and said to the sea, “Peace. Be still.” At once the winds fell and the sea grew calm. And Jesus asked the apostles, “Why were you afraid?” And they said to one another, “Who is this Jesus that even the wind and the waves obey him?”

Do a collage activity with your children picturing Jesus in the boat as he raised his hands to heaven and commands the winds and the sea to be still.

He also says to us today: “Be still and know that I am God”!!

Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, thank you for Jesus!! Thank you that all authority has been given unto Him!!
Thank you that in his name you can still calm the storms!! We love you for sending Jesus to us!! Jesus our beloved Savior!!

Blessed be your mighty name!!
Amen
