The Church of God of Carmichael

God is ever true to His promises. I Corinthians 1:9 Weymouth

 God is faithful,  . . .1 Corinthians 1:9

 God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on);. . . .  I Corinthians 1:9 Amplified

God put Himself within our reach in His promises; (what a thought, to be able to touch the Almighty, All knowing, All caring God) and when we can say to Him, “Thou saidst,”

Up; . . .  is not the LORD gone out before thee?  Judges 4:14

 Have I not sent thee? Judges 6:14

 God knows, and you know, what He has sent you to do. God sent Moses to Egypt to bring three millions of bondmen out of the house of bondage into the Promised Land. Did he fail? It looked at first as if he were going to. But did he?

Psalms 27:14  Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD

I heard a Quaker lady who had to spend half an hour every day sitting quiet and doing nothing calling it her still lesson. I wish we could enjoy such a half-hour daily in God’s presence; our still  lesson would be one of the most useful lessons of the day. “Be still and know that I am God.”Psalms 46:10

I read a fable about a man who was browsing in a store when he made the shocking discovery that God was behind the sales counter.
So the man walked over and asked, "What are you selling?"
God replied, "What does your heart desire?"

Fill my cup, Lord.
I hold it up to you with outstretched hands.
My heart parched and thirsty for your living water.

Fill, my cup with your love, Lord.
Help me to feel your hands holding mine,
    feel your arms around me,
       feel your love empowering me.
Fill me with quietness and encouragement and trust.

Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.  And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Daniel 6:19 -22

What is impossible with you is perfectly possible with Him who is Almighty.

A little child at mothers’ knee
Plies woolen strands and needles bright.
Small, eager hands strive earnestly
To fasten every stitch aright.

But soon perplexing knots appear
Which vex and hinder progress’ flow;
Impatient fingers pull and tear,
While ever worse the tangles grow.

How surely then in wiser hands
The roughest places are made plain!
How easy now the task’s demands,
How wonderful the lesson’s gain!

Thus, God, we bring our snarls to thee;
Though human sense and stubborn will
Oft clamor loud for mastery,
We hear alone Thy “Peace , be still.”
Edith Shaw Brown

Jeremiah 32:17  Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

May we 'walk in grace' together.
Let us find 'joy in the journey and good times in the going.'

I will go before thee and unwind the snarls.
          Isaiah 45:2, Free trans.

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight:
          Isaiah 45:2  KJV

How tangled some of our problems do become as the days pass and no way appears by which the matter can be straightened out!

“But thanks be to God that you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.” (Romans 6:17, NIV)

 Picture a skillfully crafted mold; made from a single work of sculptured art, a masterpiece so uniquely magnificent that it merits reproduction. With great care the masterpiece is covered and a form is made, from which a mold is created. The purpose of this mold is to take melted materials and fuse them into a stunning replica of the original.
