Stand By Me

There is a breakthrough coming for each of you.  I pray that today your field of dreams is fertilized with the spirit and your destiny begin to take root. Let’s make the most of this day!

Good Day to Everyone!  

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me-“Stand By Me”-Ben E King

The above lyrics are from a song that was not meant to be a gospel song, but I see the gospel all in those words. When things are going the way that they are supposed to go, it is human nature to take God’s grace for granted.  I am guilty of that myself.  However over the last year, my sky’s have fallen and I have had mountains fall around me. I have had people that I thought I could count on turn their back on me.  Let me just tell you that I did not cry, I did not cry, no I did not shed one tear, because I knew that my God would stand by me.

There was a little boy that was walking in his neighborhood one day.  In his neighborhood there were many stray dogs, that roamed around.  As the little boy was on his way home, a large dog came from around the corner and begin to growl at the little boy.  Just when the dog was about to attack the little boy raised his arms and made a loud noise.  The dog then looked up, got frightened and began to run away. The little boy began to feel good about himself and he continued to walk home in confidence.  What the little boy did not know was that his father had been watching him walk the whole time, and when he saw danger he stepped behind he son holding a large stick.  The little boy thought that the dog was looking at him, but he saw his father standing right behind him.

Dear Reader when you are facing something that is bigger than you that is ready to attack, and all of a sudden that situation backs down.  Don’t think that it was your own power that got you out of that situation, recognize that God was standing by you.  Walk with confidence knowing that your problems are only temporary, and that joy comes in the morning.  Give God the praise when things are up, because when your mountains fall to the sea, The Master will be standing by you.

Be blessed, today and always
