Who is there like You

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 31, 2024

Who is there like You, my Fortress, my Tower
Who is there like You, all glorious in power
Who is there like You, triumphant in all
By Your holy right hand Your enemies fall
Who is there like You in mercy and grace
Who in this universe could take Your place
Who is there like You, who can compare
To Your glory and splendour, found anywhere
Who is there like You, able to reign
In justice and truth, LORD, who can proclaim
A love such as Your which fills all the Earth
Which loves the unlovely and gives man new birth
LORD, I declare that there’s no-one like You
You’re holy and righteous in all that You do
No nuclear power compares to Your might
Your reign is eternal and awesome Your light

You spread Your protection over me

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 30, 2024

Thank-you, Father GOD, that You spread Your protection over me and surround me with Your favour as with a shield. Thank-you that whatever trial I might face today, I will not face it alone, for Your presence is always with me. You are my ever present help in times of trouble. You walk with me on the mountain heights and also in the darkest valleys. You never leave me, nor forsake me. You know my going out and my coming in. There is nothing hidden from Your sight. I love You, Father. All glory, honour and praise Belongs to You alone. Amen

Finally, Brethren

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 28, 2024
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.
[Phil. 4:8]
It is so much better to think on positive, Godly things, than to think on negative things which cause fear, anger, pain or bitterness. Many sleepless nights are avoided this way.
When we lose focus on the good things and concentrate on the bad, our joy and peace in the Lord are the first things to flee from us.

Now He Who Supplies Seed

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 26, 2024
Now He who supplies seed to the Sower and bread for food, will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to GOD.
2Cor. 9:10-11
Every seed will always bring forth after its own kind. When we sow finances, we also reap finances; when we sow love, we also reap love. When we sow kindness we reap kindness and when we sow compassion, we also reap compassion.
Bad seeds also bring forth after their kind. Sowing and reaping is a spiritual law that GOD used to create the earth. We need to be careful of the seeds we sow. We will reap a harvest regardless, as any farmer will confirm.

Let the high praises of GOD be declared

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 24, 2024
Let the high praises of GOD be declared
Let them be your last thought as you lie on your bed
For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise
Glorious and honourable are all His ways
Look at the moon and the stars in the sky
Look at the oceans which never run dry
Look at the valleys and mountains so tall
And give thanks to the LORD who created them all
Let the high praises of GOD be the way
That you wake every morning to face a new day
And the joy of the LORD will fill all your being
And cause you to triumph through , our King

Because Your Love is Better than Life

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 22, 2024
Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your Name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with richest food; with singing lips my mouth will praise You.
On my bed I remember You; I think of You through the watches of the night. Because You are my help, I sing in the shadow of Your wings. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
Psalms 63:3-8
There is no one like You, oh LORD. There is no greater love in the heavens, on earth or beneath the earth. You are the source of all love and neither the expanse of the universe nor the unseen realm can contain You. You fill my heart to overflowing and out of the overflow of my heart, my mouth gushes forth in praise and worship born of gratitude and adoration. In You I live and move and have my being.
You are the omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent GOD and Creator of all things, both visible and invisible. You are the Altogether Lovely One, the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. You are the Lamb Who was slain and is alive forevermore, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the King of kings and Lord of lords. You are YHWH Yireh, my provider; YHWH Shalom, my peace; YHWH Rapha, my healer; El Sali, my rock and my strength; YHWH Tsidqenu, my righteousness. Daddy GOD, You are Abba Pater, my Father.
You, LORD, are the Reason that I wake up every morning with joy in my heart to face a new day. I love You and adore You, Almighty GOD.
Amen.

No Temptation

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 20, 2024
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And GOD is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. When you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand under it.
1Cor. 10:13
There is nothing that you and GOD cannot face together. Hold onto His unchanging hand and know that you are never alone.

See that No-one Renders Evil for Evil

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 18, 2024
See that no-one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.
Rejoice always.
Pray without ceasing.
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of GOD in for you.
Do not quench the Spirit.
Do not despise prophesies.
Test all things; hold fast what is good.
Abstain from evil.
Now may the GOD of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord . He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
1Thess.5:15-24
The Word tells us not to be conformed to this world, to be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we can prove the good and acceptable and perfect will of GOD. (Rom 12:2)
We do that by allowing the Word to change us as we focus on the Word and the love of GOD toward us. Darkness cannot flourish in the light. While our minds and hearts are filled with the Light, the darkness of unbelief, hatreds, murder, idolatry, retaliation, gossip (which is character assassination) jealousy, envy, drunkenness, cares of this world, lasciviousness and evil thoughts have no place in us.
In the Light we are filled with the joy of the LORD when grief tries to break us down. We become increasingly aware that we are more than conquerors whatever life might throw at us. In the Light is the wonderful peace of GOD which passes all understanding. This is where we grow in the Word and mature to the stature to which we were called.
Let us continue to walk in the beautiful Light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of . (Cor 4:6)

He Came as a Servant

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 16, 2024
He came as a servant
My Master, my King
He came down from glory
He left everything
All this He did
And then so much more
Because of a love
That will always endure
Born in a stable
In Bethlehem
Condemned to a cross
In Jerusalem
All of the miracles
That He had done
So quickly forgotten
By everyone
Except for a few
Who were faithful to Him
As men whipped Him and beat Him
Again and again
He had so much to give
He kept nothing back
Thirty-three years He served
Then He died for our sake
Risen, in Glory
He still serves His own
Molding and shaping
And leading us home

We Need to Lower Our Expectations of Man

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 14, 2024

I believe that we need to lower our expectations of man and heighten our expectation of GOD. In doing so, we will never be disappointed.

People cannot always live up to our expectations. It’s unfair to expect more than they are able to give. They’re a work in progress. GOD will complete the work that He started in them according to His infallible Word.

On the other hand, when we lower our expectations of GOD, we limit the blessings that He wants to lavish on us, because of our unbelief. In heightening our expectation of GOD, we open the floodgate of His glory upon us.

Stay blessed as you keep your eyes on Jesus.
