He is settled in his mind that Jehovah will take care of him. Psalm 112:7b (TLB)
Is the question of God being on your side settled in your mind?
Amongst all the turmoil that you have experienced or are experiencing in your life, are you convinced that God will carry you through it?
Through the crooks, turns, valleys, caves, and rough terrain are you convinced that indeed the Father has a plan for you life?
As I came across Psalm 112:7, those are the questions I’m asking myself. It’s easy to give off the expected answer of yes. But does my actions, my moods, my speech line up with that confession is the real question.
Excellent Wanda – let it be settled. God said it, I believe it, that settles it. Now I must act like all the above is in my heart 🙂
God bless
Tracy
That is the hardest question of all, because no matter how hard we try we can never truly measure up. And it's up to us to have faith that our best is good enough for God.
Excellent thoughts, Wanda. The head ALWAYS says yes – but do we live that way? Praying I do.
Great question, Wanda. The quick, expected answer is yes. But God wants us to do more reflection and introspection. Many blessings!
Wanda, Wanda, that question made be feel like Paul…I want to do right, but then…and I don't want to do wrong, and then. At the beginning of this week, I had to – again – remind myself to "stop flirting with God" and settle it in my mind that "Our faith may fail, His never wanes- That's who He is, He cannot change!" 2 Timothy 2:13
Standing on the Everlasting Rock and holding on for dear life.
Amen Wanda! Your last paragraph said it best!
From December 2010 until May 2011 I was very ill. Dropped 43 lbs and saw 5 specialist and 2 regular dr's. Went through all sorts of medicines, even some that they should not have given to me apparently. I had to stand on God's Word even in moments when I felt like folding due to pain and not knowing what was wrong. It was then I reminded myself that my FAITH IS IN GOD in the good and in the bad. "Where is our faith when all hell is breaking loose?" Faith in God is not meant for just when everything is going good but for sure when all seems to be going wrong.
I appreciate you and miss you!
Hi Lisa, missed you too sweet sister. Thanks for sharing your testimony.
Bluebutterfly, I read that post of yours and it was oh so powerful girl!
Lisa, I agree we need to go deeper than surface reading and answers.
Thanks Joanne, Tracy and Angela for sharing your thoughts.
Excellent Wanda, you took the words out of my mouth. Thank you for posting this, I needed it..Blessings, Susie
My walk does not always reflect my faith, but I want it to. Thanks for letting me know that others struggle the same way. It's so easy to talk the talk–not so easy to walk the walk.
Blessings, my friend!

Our actions tell on us don't they! I'm settled in my mind that God is on my side, or more importantly I'm on his, but I'm going to watch my actions today to see what I really believe!
That's something I think everyone has asked at some point. I know I'm still asking it. How do we know we are on God's track
It is the only thing that keeps me going. Even if I do not feel God always with me, just having the faith that He is helps.
Great question, Wanda. Yes, it is settled in my mind. God is for me, on my side, through thick and thin. Now that doesn't mean that I understand what He's doing all the time – nor does it mean that I like it! But, I am doing my best to learn how to align my actions, my moods, my speech with the Truth that I believe in my heart…
If God is for me, who can ever be against me?
GOD BLESS!
I try to always remember this.
