In His Hands

In His Hands

In His Hands

“Hezekiah was sick and near death. Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and wept and prayed to the LORD and said, ‘Remember now O LORD I pray, how I have walked before you in truth and with a loyal heart and done what is good in your sight.’ And Hezekiah wept bitterly. And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, Thus says the LORD the God of David your father, ‘I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Surely I will add to your days fifteen years.’” Is. 38:1-5.

God is gracious and compassionate. Let’s trust that what God did for Hezekiah, He will do for us.

Blessings,

Closing the Door on Bitterness

Encouraging Words with Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman

There’s a price to be paid for holding onto bitterness! Most people think that if their grudge is justified, they have the right to nurture it. Sometimes life can hurt, and anger does spring up, but that resentment can take a horrible toll on one’s life—in relationships, health and even with our fellowship with FATHER GOD!                      

Lingering bitterness will always bring destruction and harm to those around us. It breaks our fellowship with GOD and robs us of peace! It can lead to emotional isolation, frustration and anxiety. If left unattended, it can bring total fatigue and depression. And worst of all, it grieves ABBA!

He can not pour all His blessings on an angry person. As a child of God Most High (Elyon (Hebrew: עֶלְיוֹן‎ ʿElyōn), we have Kingdom work to do, and this will hinder that work!

Ephesians. 4:26
When angry; do not sin, do not ever let your wrath last until the sun goes down.

One thing is certain, letting go of anger will keep you from self-destruction! Ask for the Holy Spirit’s leading and  help with letting go of any lingering anger! You will put a smile on GOD’S face, and you will be filled with peace!

 

Love & Blessings,

Pastor Bruce and Suzi Elman
