Love, Mercy, Compassion And Grace

by Hazel Straub

The unchanging love of God is not based on merit or performance. There is no greater love than to lay down your life for your friends. Love covers a multitude of sin. It produces mercy, compassion and grace, which freely flow from the throne of God, to us. As we receive, we are called to give the same to others, without charge, worthiness or measure.

Lord, help me love like you!

John 15:12-15 (CJB)
“This is my command: that you keep on loving each other just as I have loved you. No one has greater love than a person who lays down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave doesn’t know what his master is about; but I have called you friends, because everything I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.”

Thank Yahweh For Miraculous Mercy!

by Hazel Straub

Yahweh, our covenant keeping God is with us. He is our refuge and shelter from all that would harm us. He is trustworthy and deserves all our worship.

Psalm 31:19-24 (NOG)

Your kindness is so great!
You reserve it for those who fear you.
Adam’s descendants watch
as you show it to those who take refuge in you.
You hide them in the secret place of your presence
from those who scheme against them.
You keep them in a shelter,
safe from quarrelsome tongues.
Thank Yahweh!
He has shown me the miracle of his mercy
in a city under attack.
When I was panic-stricken, I said,
“I have been cut off from your sight.”
But you heard my pleas for mercy when I cried out to you for help.
Love Yahweh, all you godly ones!
Yahweh protects faithful people,
but he pays back in full those who act arrogantly.
Be strong, all who wait with hope for Yahweh,
and let your heart be courageous.

Do Not Quit! It’s Harvest Time

by Hazel Straub

Many times we get tired and weary of doing good. It is hard to put one foot, in front of the other. The temptation comes to quit. Many give up, when the results they desire, do not manifest, quickly. God uses the process to mature you and your character. Do not give up! The harvest blessings for your labor will soon mature and you will enjoy a bumper crop, if you do not quit!

“So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.” (Galatians 6:9-10 MSG)

Stop Your Struggle And Snuggle

by Hazel Straub

Jesus calls for us to come to him and rest. Whatever bothers you and weighs you down, leave it with him. Your shoulders were never meant to carry heavy burdens. Quit thinking about the problems and know that God solves all of them. Keep your focus and meditation on the wonderful love of God manifested through his only son, Jesus. He walks and talks with you while you journey through life. When exhaustion hits, he carries  and sings over you. Stop your struggle and snuggle close in rest.

Pray With Faith Filled Vision

by Hazel Straub

Pray with faith filled vision, not fear filled eyes. Fear looks at the circumstances and prays the problem. This prayer receives more problems in answer to how it was conceived and perceived. Faith, however, sees the solution and prays it. Many times you have a heart’s desire. Pray the Holy Spirit conceived desire, believe and see it, in faith fulfilled. Your faith will become sight.

“Have faith in God,” replied Jesus to them. “I tell you that if anyone should say to this hill, ‘Get up and throw yourself into the sea’, and without any doubt in his heart believe that what he says will happen, then it will happen! That is why I tell you, whatever you pray about and ask for, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.” (MARK 11:22-25 JCP)

God Rescues You

by Hazel Straub

Tired? Worried? Need energy? The solution is Elohim (Creator and Judge of the universe). Spend time in his presence and you will renew your strength. Your perspective and the way you view your life will change. Seek him, rest in him and gain strength.

Strengthen limp hands.
Steady weak knees.
Tell those who are terrified,
“Be brave; don’t be afraid.
Your Elohim will come with vengeance, with divine revenge.
He will come and rescue you.” Isaiah 35:3-4 NOG)

Overflowing With Hope

by Hazel Straub

Your belief and faith in Yeshua transforms your life,  by the power of the Holy Spirit, who resides in believers. Our whole life and outlook radiates with hope, expectancy, confidence and trust. Hope pairs with faith to see your life destiny fulfilled.

May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope. (Romans 15:13 AMP)

Fear And Faith

by Hazel Straub

Fear and faith are opposites developed by your thought life. When you meditate on the enemy’s agenda, it robs you of any rest or peace. Many times, fear is more developed in our lives than faith in God. We must take corresponding action in the natural or spiritual to go with our beliefs. If we believe the chair will hold us, we sit on it. What we think and meditate upon determines what is stronger in our lives. Think, meditate and speak the Word of God and faith in God will get stronger. What you feed will remain.

Isaiah 41:10 (NOG)
Don’t be afraid, because I am with you.
Don’t be intimidated; I am your Elohim.
I will strengthen you.
I will help you.
I will support you with my victorious right hand.

Forget the Past And Press For The Future

by Hazel Straub

Many do not enjoy living life and merely exist as a survivor, due to living in the past. They have regrets and rehearse all the negative things that happened to them. God is calling us to forgive those who have offended us and move into the present. No longer looking back but pressing into the future and the destiny created for you by God through Christ Jesus.  Let go of the past so there will be room in your life for your present and future.

But one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind (Phil. 3:13-15).
