Trapped by the words of our mouth

One day at a time

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself…”

Matthew 6:34

To worry is to waste life trying to control things that are beyond your control.

To trust is to live life and let God handle everything.

Live life!  Let God control everything!

Endurance in Christ

Endurance in Christ

^“But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.”

James 1:25 NIV

Never, ever, give up on following God and his Word – EVER!  No matter how hard it is, or how hard it may seem at any given time, God has a plan and he wants you to trust him and keep on moving forward.  In doing so, you will be blessed– yes, blessed you will be.

Remember, God’s Word is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, so if we follow suit of what he tells us, then we will never be able to go wrong… EVER!

Good times ahead

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.

-2 Corinthians 4:16-18 MSG

If we can realize that our hard times are all part of God's plans for us -blessings in disguise and all of them worth every second - then life will be a lot less complicated and stressful, and hard times are all they are - simply, hard times.  For when we hold steadfast in Christ hard times are not a big deal because we know they lead to some God-blessed, amazing, good times ahead.   

Praise God!!!

Goodbye 2017 and Hello 2018

"Heads up! The days are coming when I'll set up a new plan... I'll throw out the old plan..."

-Hebrews 8:6-13 MSG

Out with the OLD and in with the NEW!

Thank you Jesus - Thank you God.

Happy New Year everyone!

God: First, foremost, front, and center!

“Jesus said, “No procrastination.  No backward looks.  You can’t put God’s kingdom off till tomorrow.  Seize the day.”  Luke 9:62 MSG

God FIRST and FOREMOST - FRONT and CENTER in your life, at all times and in all things.

Anyhow, if you don’t put God first, before everything and anything in your life, then there won’t be everything and anything for you in life worth having.

Seize life!

7-10 7-10 

"Seize life! Eat bread with gusto,
Drink wine with a robust heart.
Oh yes—God takes pleasure in your pleasure!
Dress festively every morning.
Don’t skimp on colors and scarves.
Relish life with the spouse you love
Each and every day of your precarious life.
Each day is God’s gift. It’s all you get in exchange
For the hard work of staying alive.
Make the most of each one!
Whatever turns up, grab it and do it. And heartily!
This is your last and only chance at it,
For there’s neither work to do nor thoughts to think
In the company of the dead, where you’re most certainly headed."

Ecclesiastes 9:7-10

Decide to live for now, for today.  Yesterday is gone and tomorrow may not be here, so grasp every moment as if it is your last and go for the gold. Live boldly, live loudly, live in love, and most of all, live for God!

Don't take anything for granted

"On a good day, enjoy yourself;
On a bad day, examine your conscience.
God arranges for both kinds of days
So that we won't take anything for granted."
Ecclesiastes 7:14

the wicked are here today, gone tomorrow."

New heavens and a new earth

“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth.  And the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.” Isaiah 65:17 AMP

Today is a new day! Today is a beautiful day! Today is a fresh new start! Therefore, shake off yesterday, look forward to tomorrow, but LIVE for today! How? Give this day to the Lord, and first thing every morning, from here on out, give them to God.  Yes, if you let Him live through you, your life will shine with a sense of newness, a sense of freedom, a sense of new opportunity, a sense of new meaning.

So, free yourself from the former, open yourself to the latter, and live for the present; it is yours, from God - you’ve been cleansed, all your former sins are washed away, never to be remembered again ~ Hallelujah

Praise God in all His glory.
