Editor's Message
Who Do You Call When You Need Help?
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10
Have you ever been in a situation where you needed help and there was no one to help you? I am sure we have all been in this situation before. What did you do? How did you solve your dilemma? My answer is to call on the Lord through prayer. Prayer is our connection to God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit the Spirit of God. There are times or seasons in our lives where God is trying to get our attention, and if that is through isolation, so be it. There is nothing wrong with depending on other people for help, but we must never lose sight of who is the real helper, as well as doing what we can in our own power. For example, I have a relative who is going through some health challenges and her physical mobility isn’t as strong as it used to be. Nevertheless, she still has the mobility of arms and legs. Because she is still able to move, do you enable her by waiting on her hand and foot or do you encourage her to get up and move? Also, push her to pray and do exercises that will strengthen her arms and legs, so she can get stronger and able to do for herself. Thus, she is not eligible for in-home care or admission to a physical therapy facility, so all she has is herself and the Lord to depend on.
When you need help, here are the Lord’s promises: 1) He will never leave nor forsake. 2) You can call on Him in your times of trouble. 3) You are more than a conqueror through Christ. 4) You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. 5) He will perfect the things that concern you. 6) You shall be strong and do great exploits in His name. 7) The Holy Spirit that is in you will fortify you. Therefore, your help comes from the Lord first and foremost. When God needs to get your attention, He will remove everything and everybody from your life, so you have no choice but to call on Him (or remain helpless). The question for you is, whether it is sooner or later? This is not a punishment from God but rather an alignment for the purpose to which you were created. We all have a purpose and calling assigned to our lives, and it is up to us to discover what that is through connecting with God.
Word Up! It does matter what you are going through, about to go through, or coming out of a situation, the Lord is right there with you. If you cannot sense Him, call on Him, for “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” He is concerned about your pain, disappointments, sickness, and diseases, and if you let Him, He (Jehovah Rapha) will deliver you from whatever you are doing through: physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. His desire is that we shall prosper in all thighs, be in good health, even as our souls prosper.

The WordScope™ is about sharing Scriptures and Biblical stories, so you are learning the Word of God. Here are three Scriptures that explain the importance of God’s Word.
Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edge sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joint and morrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Proverbs 30:5 says, “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
Psalm 119:11 says, “Your word have I hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You."

His Eyes Are Upon Me... is representation of my Christian experience thus far. It expresses my innermost thoughts and feelings in the various situations I have faced, as well as my love for the Trinity. After reading this book, my hope is that people will be free to express their beliefs and feelings without shame or condemnation. As Christians, we need to feel free and not ashamed to confess our faults to each other and pray for each other that we may be healed, James 5:16. I also want people to understand they can come to God with their most intimate concerns, no matter how small, because God cares, 1 Peter 5:7. God wants to deliver us from the things that hinder us, Psalm 40:17. Hence, for your spiritual enlightenment, this book includes poetry, workspaces for journaling, and a chapter on: songs, devotionals, prayers, and spiritual affirmations. You can be assured, “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry,” Psalm 34:15. Therefore, it’s about trusting in the Lord for He is faithful, and His love endures forever.
My book is now available on Amazon.
