President Barack Obama's inaugural address was truly amazing, giving hope to the American people ... Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met. They will be met, meaning there is hope and there is no giving up. Like our God who never gives up!
When Joseph was dropped into a pit by his own brothers, God didn't give up.
When Moses said, " Here I am, send Aaron," God didn't give up.
When the delivered Israelites wanted Egyptian slavery instead of milk and honey, God didn't give up.
When Peter worshiped him at the supper and cursed him at the fire, he didn't give up.
And when human hands fastened the divine hands to a cross with spikes, it wasn't the soldiers who held the hands of Jesus steady.
It was God who held them steady. God, who would give up his only son before he'd give up on you. (Grace for the moment)
Our lives are made up of so many parts, but one thing that is at the heart of us is God. He holds our lives together and creates miracles in our days. Some are small miracles, I guess others might be huge! Learn to sit-down and let God be your source...with his grace and love for you.
That's My King! (video link to youtube)
The Bible says my King is a seven-way king....He's the King of the Jews; that's a racial king....He's the King of Israel; that's a national King....He's the King of Righteousness....He's the King of the Ages.....He's the King of Heaven....He's the King of Glory....He's the King of kings, and He's the Lord of lords. That's my King. Well....I wonder, do you know Him?...
...Well, you can't get Him out of your mind....You can't get Him off of your hand....You can't out live Him, and you can't live without Him....The Pharisees couldn't stand Him, but they found out they couldn't stop Him....Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him....The witnesses couldn't get their testimonies to agree....Herod couldn't kill Him....Death couldn't handle Him, and the grave couldn't hold Him. Yea!!!, that's my King, that's my King.

Psalm 91 (New Living Translation)
Psalm 91
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
8 Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.
9 If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
10 no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
11 For he will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
14 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
16 I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation.”
