Now I KNOW that the Lord saves His anointed; He answers from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and STAND FIRM. Psalm 20:6-8

This morning, I want to dig just a little deeper into the discussion at hand. I'll keep it short. You're welcome. I can't wait to continue to draw this particular discussion to conclusion... because it's such a good one and because of WHO the conclusion of the matter is!!! Oh yeah. I promised to keep it short. Sorry.

Have you started your day with prayer? Will you stop and thank Him for who He is this morning? There's no better way to start your day.

Please read: Matthew 14:23-33

Peter walking on the water. One of my favorite stories. Ever. Please read it and focus on the mindset. Take it personally. Imagine you were Peter. (Because... well, you kinda are.) Here are some things to think about.

What was Peter's [physical] reality? Was it safe? Was it any less real because Jesus was there?
What do you think Peter's feelings about the situation were? Were they justified? [Just a thought... I think Jesus knew, understood, and had compassion for Peter's feelings. I think maybe that just might be why He wanted to bring him across... to change his perspective... to free him from fear of circumstances.]
What was Peter's mindset?

One more question... what was Jesus' mindset?

It is imperative that we not draw any discussion to conclusion without personal application. Sometimes Satan will give us what is good...to distract us from what is best. If we gain knowledge, its' good. But without living and sharing... our knowledge is idle. It's useless.

So. What do you know?
How will you live it?
Will you share it?

"You should be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have full understanding of every good thing that is in you in Christ Jesus." Philemon 6

A Gift for you today: Who is this God we know?

The Lord is in charge.
Authority: legitimate power to command or act; dominion; control; the right to enforce rules and give orders.

He is:
Melek Olamim: King of Ages
Melek Yahweh Tsabaot: King Lord of Hosts
Marey Malek: King of Kings
Shophet Tsaddiq: Righteous Judge
Melek Ha-Goyim: King of the Nations.

Hallelujiah! That's my God!

STAND....right where you are! This Bible study was a huge blessing in my life as I was able to participate online while continuing my "at home care" of my mother! Each day I was able to draw out what was needed in my own life, and as I was able, I had the opportunity to share online with other participants what God's word was teaching me. The study itself invoked fresh thoughts of ancient scriptures - proving the enduring power and relevance of God's word. I recommend this study to anyone who wants to experience the awesome wonder of a loving God speaking to your heart.

STAND is a down-to-earth look at what the Bible has to say about the difficult times that we all face in our lives. It looks at practical ways to make it through those times without feeling like you're drowning. It's great to study with other people and have such an easy format to share your thoughts and questions. (you can use my first name, last name, or anonymous - whichever you prefer) – Amy

You can submit your thoughts by sending an email to the5.2project@gmail.com or simply drop your thoughts in the box above and they'll come straight to us. * Please put "STAND" in the subject line. We'll post your entry the same day. If the box fills up, that's ok! Just send us another one, or use the email address! Looking forward to hearing from you!!!
