Proverbs 30-He is a shield to those who take refuge in him

Sometimes it's easy to think that God has forgotten about us, but He hasn't. Don't let the enemy convince you of that -- ever. God is still there for you and He's still there for me. So we have to rely on Him and His word, then start speaking life over our lives. Proverbs 30:6 says "he is a shield to those who take refuge in him."

Years ago when I was depressed and allowed myself to be down and out at night, wallowing in my grief, one day I finally decided to wake up and start seeing myself the way God sees me. Yes, I started seeing myself successful and victorious. I started visualizing myself in my daily life doing the things I always thought about. I started seeing myself doing those magnificent things I read about with others. I figured somebody had to do them. Why couldn't it be me? So I decided to take refuge in God and it changed my life. Doing that would change your life too and it's never too late. Never. God hasn't forgotten you or about what lives in your heart.

I've come to remind you of that, so believe that God has not forgotten about you. He still has favor, grace and mercy for you and His promises never come back void when we believe Him at His word.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa
