. The scripture is from Joshua 1:8 and Isaiah 41:10 First we should read God’s Word, the living word. Meditation, think about the Word, seek an understanding of the Word. Ask questions if you do not have a clear understanding. This will help us because it will quiet the spirit, purify your heart, sharpen your perception, you will be getting God’s viewpoint, it will help us to be strong and gives us courage, and it will increase your faith. Without God’s Word we suffer from doubt, fear and disbelief. In Isaiah 41:10 “ Do not fear for I am with you.” What comfort that should bring to all that believes. We are weak but we can develop courage, God’s Word becomes our compass to guide us. We should recall God’s faithfulness and observe the courage of others while they are struggling and the outcome. We will then gain confidence in the living Word of God. With God’s word we have faith, trust and courage and we are able to stay focused and trust and obey. We gain peace, joy, and contentment by living a Godly life. God’s promise to us “ I will be with you. I will not fail you. I will comfort you.” Stay focused on the love of God to gain strength and wisdom. This is my notes from a recent message, I hope it gives encouragement to all that reads it. Love and prayers, Ann

I am always waiting to see if anyone else takes notes from their messages and share them with the rest of us. Maybe we could be enlightened by other sermons too. It is funny how a message that is preached to hundreds can seem it was meant for only you. I do believe the Word is revealed to you when you are prepared to let God come into your heart. Get up a little earlier so you will not feel rushed and you will have time to be quiet and hear the Word as it is spoken.
if we dont understand something we ask god and he will give us the understanding we need to make right decisions sometimes we want our sumation of a situation to be right and we maost often make a mess of things if we stand still and wait for an answer from god he will work it out. peacefuly and without any hard feelings to any one.
