Who wakes up the sky with radiant colors of hope each day? Who can change a desperate heart into one filled with hope? Who can inspire a soul in prison to sing as if that tormented soul was in the holy presence of God?  We alone have the power to choose our reaction to all the pain in this broken world. Jesus spoke the unvarnished truth.

“In this world you will suffer, but rejoice, for I have overcome…” the grave, the evil, the torture, rejection and pain.  My choice to praise God will NOT be silenced by circumstances. HIS POWER is IGNITED in our FAITH, PRAYER and PRAISE. Jesus abides in us as the Holy Spirit of God. For me and my casa, I choose to sing praises to God for I am certain of my final destination. Depending on self to figure it out is futile. Turn to THE TEACHER of all teachers. JESUS! In 2024 millions are watching governments fold and God offers all away out of disillusionment. Cast all your cares, trust, faith and hope in Jesus Christ, King of kings, and Judge of all.

Our Father who spoke all that exists into being, created our thirst and hunger. He also provided the food that satisfies. Jesus taught us about the exercise of prayer in Luke chapter 11:9 “I say to you Barbara…” Who says? My Father, Master, Teacher, God and my Savior is teaching me. “ASK and it will be given; SEEK and you will find; KNOCK and the door will be opened to you. For EVERYONE who asks RECEIVES.” The teaching text goes on to stir up our hearts with hope. “How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to them who ask Him?” Choose to gladly persist in prayer as the text says “Yet, because of the man’s persistence…” the door will be opened and the Father will give as much as is needed. ASK and REJOICE in the good gift of the Holy Spirit.
