My God Avenges

I think it is sometimes easy for us to forget that vengeance and revenge is of the Lord. We should not seek it out. This past week I went to see one of my favorite musicals, Sweeney Todd. If you haven't seen or heard of it, it is about a man seeking revenge on the ones who destroyed his world. While he does get them back, the story also ends tragically for Mr. Sweeney Todd. It is a great reminder that revenge doesn't always work out in your favor and it's best left up to the Lord. Let's remember to let the Lord deal with our enemies. 

 Deuteronomy 32:25, 42
To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh, and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revengers upon the enemy.

 Proverbs 20:22
Say not thou, I will recompense evil but wait on the Lord and he shall save thee.

 Jeremiah 5:9
Shall I not visit for these things? Saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

 Romans 12:18 - 19
If it be possible as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but rather give place unto wrath for it is written, vengeance is mine I will repay saith the Lord.

 2 Thessalonians 1:7 - 9
And to you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty angels. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power.

 Hebrews 10 : 30 - 31
For we know him that hath said vengeance belongeth unto me I will recompense saith the Lord. And again the Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

I wanted to get this out soon as possible as I know the Holidays are upon us and everyone is looking to save some money this time of year. This post is geared towards parents of multiples but if you have singletons please feel free to reach out to the companies below too for some free samples and offers, but please be aware some offers might not apply to you. If you’re like me then the minute your babies were born you were online looking at deals and ways to save money. I came across a lot of blog posts and articles stating if you contact this company then they will send you this product free. I thought how true is this? So I put them to the test.

My God Wants Me To Trust Him

Lately I've been feeling really worried about a procedure I have coming up. In January it seemed like such a far off thing but now as the days tick by I'm getting so nervous. I have feelings of doubt and fear; what if this doesn't work? How are we going to pay for all this? What if things go wrong? What if I die? All extremely scary stuff. But then I remember that people go through this all the time, every day. I'm going to be ok no matter the outcome because my trust is in God and not the doctors.  Psalm 37:5 Commit everything you do to the Lord; trust Him and He will help you. Psalm 56:3 - 4 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.  Psalm 56:9 - 13 When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me. In God I will praise His Word, in the Lord I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What...
