THE GOD WHO BENDS DOWN

Psalm 116:1-2 NLT I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!

If we’ve ever had anything to do with children we know we have to bend down to listen to what they’re saying, so we don’t miss anything.😊

Our loving Heavenly Father is the same with us. He too bends down to listen to our every prayer, our every sigh. He sees every tear and He knows the heartache, the struggle we sometimes experience and yet He also sees when we hang on in faith when the reports are not good, or when we can’t see a way forward.

We know our God is bigger than anything that we have to deal with, more powerful than death itself because Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. 

God still fulfils His word and He’s still bending down to hear what we’re saying, but He wants us to hear what He is saying too. He says He will restore health to us, that He delivers our lives from destruction, that He has plans to prosper us and not to harm us, that no weapon can succeed (whatever it’s called), if we stay in faith and declare the promises of God over our own lives so He can fulfil them.

So may I encourage you to keep speaking His promises over your life, several times a day if need be, because Proverbs 4:20-22 NKJV reminds us that God’s word is health to our flesh and Jesus said His words are life giving. God is bending down and He sees and hears your faith and your words and with Him all things are possible.😊 Amen.

(It may be that you need healing in some area so I’ve put a link below to a video of some healing scriptures which I’ve found helpful and thought they would encourage your faith too.)🙏

CONFIDENCE BUILDING

1 Samuel 10:6-7 NKJV Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.

If ever we need confidence it’s good to read those five words: for God is with you.😊 We know when we’re born again we become a new man or woman, we become new creations and given the Holy Spirit to live in us and through us. Now Saul couldn’t experience the new birth, but he did experience the Holy Spirit coming on him when he was anointed to be king.

He was told he could do as the occasion demanded because God was with him. Now that is what you call confidence building! And God says the same to you and me because we have been given His Holy Spirit!😊 

You may be facing some situations and you’re not sure what to do about them but take heart because God is not only with you but He is also in you. He is letting us know that whatever the occasion demands He will be with us to help us deal with it and overcome it if necessary.

We can get bogged down sometimes and forget we are children of God, filled with His Spirit, anointed and appointed for whatever crosses our path each day.  We are wherever we are, for such a time as this. We have the Creator of the universe within us, we are joint heirs with His Son and we have the mind of Christ to guide us throughout our day. Just imagine that!

So be encouraged to know that yes, you can do whatever the occasion demands of you because greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world. We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus and the enemy is beneath our feet. We are above only and not beneath, so the Holy Sprit can help us to do and say whatever He directs, for the glory of God. Now that’s confidence building, don’t you think?😊 Amen.
