Word Study
“O my Strength, come quickly to help me.”

Thankful Thursday
I love that God makes me trust Him, since the day of my birth, He has allowed life to happen in ways to make me trust Him. (v9)
Faith Stretching/Strengthening
I am fighting to trust and hope again in a situation where I have been let down many times.
This is a great message regarding the three letter powerful word YET. Never gave this word any weight before but I will now. I know I am always saying when God when and not being patient on him to answer but YET he never forgets me.
Awesome reminder to change our negative thinking by choosing to focus on the truth by being in God’s Word. I also love how Wendy made this personal to each of us reminding us to transition our thinking into praise. Our thoughts can so often lead us in wrong directions. Spending time in the Word is one way to get our thoughts in line with His thoughts.
I agree with both of you, Vicki and Nancy. I need to seek Him and His word before any of those negative thoughts can come into my mind. I have been lazy in doing this study and reading my Bible in general. Going to try to do a better job. Thank you for your insight!
Truth is that I need to remember to always lean on God in all circumstances and accept his unshakeable love for me.
I to have realized what a powerful word YET can be. But I see the flip side. Yes I understand and am so grateful the despite everything that happens, I know that God is there for me. YET am I there for God? YET I know he will wait for me.
Truth is that God’s commandments seem to be forgotten by so many, YET His work, His love, His patience is unending.
Thankful that I know God and he is always there for me.
I am thankful that I am loved and pursued by God and I can go to His word to assure me of my worth and value and not have to listen to negative thoughts or words or believe Satan’s lies.
