I Am the Lord thy God





Isa 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isa 43:3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:


How wonderful that we can claim the promises of God! He is my rock, the solid foundation on which I place my trust.

Can we rest comfortably in the words and promises of man? No, as humans, even though our intentions may be of the highest degree; we are weak and sinful.

The experience of my life has been that "man" has fallen short in keeping the promises made toward me, and the same can be said of me. I have been guilty of the same shortfall. Humans have a tendency of making promises or statements they fail to keep.

I have been richly blessed with a Godly family for which I am extremely grateful. My husband Randy is the spiritual leader of our home and a precious source of strength and encouragement to me. Together, our extended families back home form a prayer network that has sustained us through many difficult times, especially these last few months. I would be amiss to fail to mention the faithful prayer support we receive from our church family and friends back home at Living Word Baptist Church. They are a vital link in our prayer chain. We are so blessed!

I will continue to stand on the promises of the solid rock, the one who will never leave me, forsake me or disappoint me, not the words or promises of man. Jesus Christ is my solid rock, He is the only stable foundation in the world today. If you are looking for stability in your life, look no further; look to Jesus, He is the answer.
