The eyes of the lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry; http://bible.us/Ps34.15.NIV
Lately I have been experiencing eye trouble. I haven't been wearing my glasses regularly, and my vision seems dimmer and blurry. Things that I used to see clearly now are no longer in focus.
Sometimes we lose our spiritual eyesight. When we begin to look at our circumstances without the lens of the Holy Spirit, the outlook seems dark, hopeless, and blurry. We can't see how things are working together for our good. Nor can we see how God allows the challenges to bump or bruise us. Sometimes we question Jesus' presence or His methods.
But the scripture reminds us that God "sees." His eyes are watching your every step, and He knows which steps you will stumble over and which ones He will carry you over! God has not made a mistake, and He will not let anything you see naturally deter you from "seeing" His promise come to pass!
Be blessed!

Blessed Assurance
Surely, lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. http://bible.us/Ps5.12.NIV
Shopping is a necessary part of life. The worst thing about shopping is trying to find the best quality for the best bargain. My favorite thing to shop for are Coach bags! I am absolutely an official Coach junkie. I buy that brand not for its name but for its exceptional quality. When you buy a Coach purse, wallet, belt, or pair of shoes you get the Coach guarantee of quality, customer service, and satisfaction.
When or if your zipper gets off track or your seams unravel, Coach's policy guarantees a repair or replacement item at no charge. The Coach guarantee provides a safety net around the customer in order to maintain a wonderful relationship.
As a child of God, we have the guarantee of blessings and favor. You don't have to worry about lack or obstacles because He guarantees that as His child you will be blessed. As part of this loving Father- child relationship he sets a circle of favor around you. So when you encounter people or events, Jesus has already placed you in a position of favor. When you have a guarantee, you don't have to worry about if you will be accepted or treated fairly. You can trust that the one who makes the guarantee will do more than you expect because of your relationship. As a believer, you must expect blessings to overtake you and confidently walk in favor!
Be blessed

Touched by Grace
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. http://bible.us/2Cor12.9.NIV
Let's face it! Life isn't always easy. There are highs and lows, victories and discouragement, moments of joy and sorrow. Every day doesn't always pan out the way we want.
But God!
God pours his grace on us. He doesn't need us to always be strong because He is always strong. I can admit that sometimes I feel lonely, disappointed, and even impatient. I want things to be easy or situations to be perfect. The reality that we live in an imperfect realm with less than ideal experiences. But a life in Christ is balanced with His grace. Grace is the undeserved love and favor of God.
When we are at our weakest, God steps in and lavishes His love and mercy on us! So don't focus on what's wrong, meditate on who is "Always right," our loving Holy Father God.
