Forgive And Receive Forgiveness

by Hazel Straub

Forgiveness involves sending away the offense, setting free from bondage and lifting the burden from the offender and forgiving ourselves. When we forgive others, we are forgiven by our Heavenly Father. If we refuse to forgive, we live in the past and relive the offense over and over again. This leads to bitterness, anger, depression, resentment, retaliation, murder, envy and jealousy. When we let the offense go, we can enjoy our today and look forward to tomorrow and our minds and emotions heal. Then we enjoy abundant victorious life and no longer live as a victim.

For if you forgive people their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses. (Matthew 6:14-15 AMPC)

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:31-32 NLT)

Independent Or God Dependent?

by Hazel Straub

The bigger the battle that we face, the bigger the victory that we will see. When we face big problems and obstacles, we cannot depend on our own strength and ingenuity. We need to come to the end of ourselves and trust in God to give us victory.  God-dependency and not self-dependency.

Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom,
    but my miracle deliverance can never be won by men.
    Our boast is in the Lord our God,
    who makes us strong and gives us victory! (Psalm 20:7 TPT)

God Is With You!

by Hazel Straub

Keep your focus on God, not on the tumult around you. He is faithful and accompanies you throughout life. He keeps you secure in his firm grip. Let go of fear and relax in his steadfast love for you.

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. (Isaiah 41:10 NLT)

All Things Are Possible With God

by Hazel Straub

So many times we think something is impossible and others say, “it is impossible.” If we went on what we know in the natural, no one would get a second or a hundred chances for forgiveness, lives would never change and miracles would never happen. God makes all things possible!

But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God. (Matthew 19:26 AMPC)

Dare To Trust God!

by Hazel Straub

When you know God, believe and trust him to conquer the giants in your life. Do not depend on your natural senses but on God’s character, knowing he will never fail you. It is time to act like young David, who knew God had anointed him as King of Israel and he was not yet king, so he would not die at the giant’s hand. God had helped David prevail against a lion and a bear, who had attacked his sheep. The giant lost because David had a close relationship with God and the giant taunting Israel and the God of Israel, worshipped idols, and trusted his own strength.

Dare to believe God and risk all for God because he makes you a winner.

Your servant killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God! David said, The Lord Who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord be with you! Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, Whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will smite you and cut off your head. And I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck down the Philistine and slew him. But no sword was in David’s hand. So he ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their mighty champion was dead, they fled. (1 Samuel 37:36-37; 45-46; 50-51 AMPC)

My King And God’s Excellent Greatness

by Hazel Straub

Today, we praise you Lord God and meditate on how you never fail us. There is no one that loves us like you and shows us kindness and mercy.

My King and God: Your magnificent splendor and the miracles of your majesty
are my constant meditation.
Your awe-inspiring acts of power have everyone talking!
I’m telling people everywhere about your excellent greatness!
Our hearts bubble over as we celebrate the fame
of your marvelous beauty, bringing bliss to our hearts.
We shout with ecstatic joy over your breakthrough for us.
You’re kind and tenderhearted to those who don’t deserve it
and very patient with people who fail you.
Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness.
God, everyone sees your goodness,
for your tender love is blended into everything you do. (Psalm 145:5-9 TPT)

The LORD Is Our Song!

by Hazel Straub

Water refreshes and brings delight to our souls. The Lord is our comfort, salvation, strength and song. Because of this we have great joy!

And in that day you will say, I will give thanks to You, O Lord; for though You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away, and You comfort me.
Behold, God, my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and song; yes, He has become my salvation.
Therefore with joy will you draw water from the wells of salvation. (Isaiah 12:1-3 AMPC)

God My Shelter

by Hazel Straub

There is no one like our God! He is our shelter and does wonderful things for us.

But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,
and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do. (Psalm 73:28 NLT)

God’s Character

by Hazel Straub

The character of God includes righteousness, holiness, integrity, reliability, fulfilling his word, lovingkindness, mercy and grace. He does not treat us as we deserve but is merciful. When we know him, we have no problem trusting and relying on him. He is our refuge and strength.

God is not a man, so he does not lie.
He is not human, so he does not change his mind.
Has he ever spoken and failed to act?
Has he ever promised and not carried it through? (Numbers 23:19 NLT)
