• I know people who are dependable, but no one who is absolutely faithful, always, in everything, in every way.
  
  For us humans, that is impossible. We all fail at some time in some way or another. It is just a fact: we are not perfect.
  
  But there is One who is...

"I know what the dream means," Joseph said. "The three branches mean three days. Within three days Pharaoh will take you out of prison and return you to your position as his chief cup-bearer. And please have some pity on me when you are back in his favor. Mention me to Pharaoh, and ask him to let me out of here. Pharaoh's cup-bearer, however, promptly forgot all about Joseph, never giving him another thought. (Gen 40:12-14,23 NLT)

Get in get wet

Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. (With God, a delay is not a denial. God's always in control. I pray we trust His process.) 

Stand

I pray we stand for what's biblically right, even when it's not what's politically popular. 

Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. ( I pray we remember Jesus is with us in times of adversity. 

He knows what we go thorough.

For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. (Heb 2:16-18NIV)

Do we know right from wrong?

  we really need the cover of your prayers right now. It is important. Thank you!

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, (Titus 2:11-13 NIV)

The potter

• I have known people who were so regretful of their past, they could not receive the future God had for them. They felt unworthy, and so they remained in a captivity that God had not imposed on them.
  
  I have also known people who "stole" people's futures by constantly reminding them why they were unworthy of any good thing God had for them because of what they had done. This kept them in captivity.
  
  Both are wrong, in my humble understanding. He forgives and restores. He does not rescind the calling on our lives or take back the gifts He has given. He remakes us just like the broken pot in Jeremiah's vision. He gives us a "hope and a future" (Jer. 29:11).

Then the word of the LORD came to me: "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the LORD. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. (Jer 18:5-8 NIV)
