My Morning with God- Amos 9:1-2

1. I saw the lord standing upon the altar: and he said, smite the lentil of the door, that the post may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fled of them shall not flee away, and he that escape it of them shall not be delivered.2. though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down.

As I was reading this passage of scripture this morning my heart filled with this feeling of safety. It gave me assurance that regardless of what evil is brought against the children of God he has it under control. The hand of the Lord is everywhere. Nothing escapes him. There isn't anything he doesn't see. All the good, all the bad and all the ugly. He is the all-seeing and all-knowing God of all creation. That same God loves us and wants only to make our life worthy, prosperous, happy, whole, and peaceful. Doesn't that give you a feeling of safety. It reminds me of when I was a child and I would be with my dad and I felt like everything was OK because I knew he protected me. I knew that he would not allow anything to come against me. That is the situation with us and God. If we as his children allow him to be the head of our lives that is the position that we have. He is our protector, nothing comes against us, the only thing that can touch us is what he allows. According to his word and we know all things will work together for the good of those who love him and are the called according to his purpose ( Romans 8:28). The word of God is filled with statements of assurance for the children of God. It is also filled with the outcomes being unfavorable when we do not follow his directions. The acronyms for the word Bible, which are basic instructions before leaving earth, is really applicable. The Bible is truly our book of instructions. That is why it is so necessary that I spend time in the word daily. When I do not, I can tell it ,it's as if things are out of control. it's not my control it's his control because I have not given him the control.

Even with all of our shortcomings God still loves us. He still protects us. The realization of this enables us to go about his work daily. He truly has a job for us to do. My prayer for me today is that I remain mindful of this. I literally want to seek him first and the Kingdom of God. I love to study his word to the point that I can regurgitate it at any applicable moment. When I say that I mean when instances in our life come against us and they will, I can speak what I've read in his word in his word we'll bring it under control. His word will strengthen me so that I can bear it. His word will provide me with the knowledge to take charge of any situation. At that point I realized within myself that it is he who is managing everything for me. He is the same God that took care of the Hebrew boys. He is the same God who opened the Red Sea. Because of him I don't have to fear any situation or any being .Lets pray, Dear Heavenly father thank you for another beautiful day where your mercies are new to us according to your word. We thank you for your word, we thank you for your provisions and at this point we will simply rejoice and love you. Follow we will go about today with the assurance that you or going before us and that you are making the path straight. we believe according to your word that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We also believe that faith is the substance of things that are hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. We apply it all to our lives on today. We will believe and have faith in you regardless of what it looks like and because of it, because of our faith, you will cause it to come to pass. You the God of all creation loves us therefore we have nothing to fear , we have only to follow your voice which is within us through the Holy Spirit. We will protect your word and hide it in our hearts so that we don't sin against you father God we ask you to forgive us any wrongdoings ,wrong thoughts and wrong actions. We ask that you let this mind be in us that is in Christ Jesus. Our love for you Father will never falter and we ask that you continue to hold us up with your right hand. We ask that you cover our entire family on today. Help us be mindful of our relationship with you and to protect it at all costs. We give you the praise we give you the honor and the glory because it is truly yours in Jesus name we pray thank God Amen.
