Good Morning!!! Hope your saturday is Good, and Blessed. Did you think that when you became a christian all would be perfect? No way in the Bible it does not say that any where. We will still have battles, sadness, tribulation. We still live in a sin-cursed world, and have our same bodies. Also the enemy likes to battle with us. This is why it is so important to Fast, and pray. We also need to Pray daily. Look at the people who fasted in the Bible it is amazing when we follow the word how things can work much better.

Love

When Your Feet Are Slipping...

Psalm 73:1

A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

Psalm 73:2

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

Psalm 73:3

For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Psalm 73:4

For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.


Asaph, the author of Psalm 73, started his psalm by talking about the purity of a person's heart and the goodness of God. Then he says, "But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped" (Psalm 73:2).

He had the idea that when he got right with God, that he wouldn't have any more troubles. Are you sure about that? Yes! Psalm 73:13-14 says,

Psalm 73:13

Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

Psalm 73:14

For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

He said, "I got right with God and I still have problems!" He had a false expectation that the Bible doesn't necessarily give. Christians are not due preferential treatment.


Seek the Lord through His Word and in prayer. You will find the presence of God is enough, even in the midst of our trials.

Now is the season for healing
Deeply we need to see God's mercy revealing
Where we have fallen from His way
For we know He gives hope to the humble
Gives light in the darkness
And grace when we stumble
Let us call on His name together

Knowing He will say ... If My people pray
And reach for Me with hearts that are broken
I will not forget what I've spoken
Come and seek My face

And heaven will rain Rivers of My grace overflowing
Night and day My ears will be open
If My people pray Now is the day to awaken
To pray with conviction
For the souls of the nation
So let us call on His name
Whose faithful promise still remains ..

If My people pray
(If My people who are called by My name)
And reach for Me with hearts that are broken
(Humble themselves and pray)
I will not forget what I've spoken
Come and seek My face (Seek Me)

And heaven will rain (If My people who are called by My name)
Rivers of My grace overflowing (Turn from their wicked ways)
Night and day My ears will be open
If My people pray
Let us not grow weary as we wait for the day
When the light turns our night into morning
On our knees, calling Your name as we lift our hearts to heaven Yeah,
knowing You will say ...
