Lift every voice and sing His praise! God is working in a mighty way today. You are instrumental in the big picture that God is painting. You may not be able to see how important your color is to the picture, but if you step back and look you will see that you were a key to the Master plan, that created a Masterpiece. Never underestimate how important you are to helping someone overcome.
When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. Proverbs 21:15
Good day to you all! I am praying for you whether you know it or not. You are getting better by the day so let yesterday be the opening act for your today! Smile, it makes the world better!
But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream- Amos 5:24
In this world of ups and down and unknown turn outs it can be easy to give in to fear. When the bills are due and the money is low, sometimes it can seem like a natural reaction to be fearful of what could possibly happen. God does not promise an easy road, but He does promise that He will be there with us every step of the way. I want to encourage you on this day to stand your ground. When you feel like fear has you unfairly profiled. When the enemy has targeted you because of what you look like on the outside not having any idea of the kind of person you are on the inside. When your faith is under attack, Dear Reader, stand your ground.
Whoever says to the wicked, “You are in the right,” will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations, but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them. Proverbs 24:24-25
Dear Reader, I know what it is like to be targeted. I know what it is like to be walking along, minding my own business when I am falsely accused of being up to no good. I want to tell you that when you are in step with God, you are out of step with the world. So don’t be shocked when you are in the midst of doing good someone says that you are up to no good. Don’t worry about people that say you are up to no good because 9 times out of 9 they don’t know good. Expect to be a suspect when you are in the scope of the vicious everything and everybody that looks different is suspicious. I say to you again, stand your ground. When you are being pursued because you are being accused and you have not done anything but try to walk in righteousness, don’t be afraid. I tell you that the world will see you as being different when you follow God. Jesus was hung from a cross because He was accused of trying to change the status quo. Jesus was merely trying to let those with the status know that those who had no voice would soon be heard. Dear Reader don’t let the world tell you that you are strange, or that you don’t belong. You stand boldly on the promise of God and stand your ground. You tell the world that God’s law stands stronger than Florida’s law, and you stand your ground. I don’t know what tomorrow may bring, but as for me and my faith I am going to stand my ground. I want to encourage you Dear Reader, to stand with me.
You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
John Reed
