I have begun my Bible Study Fellowship study for this year and we are studying the “Kingdom Divided”. Although I have studied this part of the Bible in-depth before a number of times, I always come away with amazing new knowledge. I love the Old Testament because I learn so much about the character of God. Well, a few things each time. We can always depend upon Him but how He reacts or answer prayers is always unpredictable. We can have faith in His character, but His ways are complex and hard to understand.

Isaiah 55:8-9

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My way’s higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Remember that God thinks and moves for the long term and His wisdom is eternal.

Troubles in the Earth

Beloved, please be in prayer. Be in a state where you trust God and can hear the Holy Spirit’s leading. He will give you peace in a troubled world, but you must have a relationship with Him so you will know when to turn right or left. If fleeing from bad weather or something else, you need to know which way to go. God can lead you to safety.

Many years ago, God asked me to give his word to a person I met in another city in our state. He was from California. I knew that this person would be in our city, but I did not know where this person would be. God told me when to turn left and right. I went to exactly where this person was at that moment. He will do this for you, my friend. But being in prayer and walking with Him before you need Him in this type of situation, is essential. Don’t chance on waiting until the last minute.

May these verses help you in your faith.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

therefore we will not fear, though the earth change, and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;

The Lord of Hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Cease striving and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:1-3, 7, 10 NAS

Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

A wife’s and mother’s primary influence in the home is to fill it with joy, peace, laughter, and an essence of the Lord.

In order to do this, one must bathe themself in God’s essences. Pray daily that He will guard your home. You want all who enter to be of the spiritual realm to be only from God. You do not want your family’s emotions to be in a tug of war with those not from God. You want them to find peace in your home. Their hearts and minds are precious to you. So pray, Beloved.

Your morning prayers are so important. At the beginning of the day, place your home, children, and husband in the presence of the Lord. Ask Him to protect your family and make your home a refuge for your family. Your home can become a stronghold of God.

It is here in the home that your husband can find rest from his daily work in the world. It is here in the home with God, that your Beloved husband can renew his mind and gain strength in his integrity and ethics. Here in the home, the family members become precious to one another.

It is here, in the home, that children will learn how to have a home that honors God. It is here that they learn how to serve others. It is in the home where children learn about humility, grace, mercy, and compassion.

In the home, the family can find strength in their battles. The home can make it easy for its members to pray. So ladies, call out to God. ask God to help you to change the atmosphere in your home. Beloved, God is always near. Call out to Him and let Him guide you in His love and peace.
