GIVE IT TO GOD

 
 
Good morning to you!

Did you have a good night? We had a delicious hamburger dinner at church last night before we had a board meeting. Cooking your own hamburgers is so much better than fast food hamburgers. They don't compare.

When things get tough, go to God. When things are crazy, go to God. Sometimes in life when it rains it pours. Remember years and years ago the saying, "the sky is falling, the sky is falling." This was from the children's fable Chicken Little, or Henny Penny, depending on where you come from, from when I was a kid. Well, sometimes that is how life seems. Like everything is caving in on you. Day after day it gets harder and harder. 

But to make it simple, give it to God. He is in control. And though this thought is really not that easy to do, we need to do it anyway. God loves us and cares about our sky falling. He wants to help us through it. But we have to go to Him and tell Him all about it and then trust Him to guide you through it. And there will be light at the end of the tunnel. 

Don't let the devil steal your joy! Don't let the devil stop you from serving Jesus. That is what the devil wants, for you to chuck it all and give in to him. Don't do it! 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 

We have to trust God, that when He brings us to it, He will bring us through it. Now He doesn't cause bad things to happen to us but we live in a sinful, fallen world and bad stuff happens to good people. Have we opened the door for evil to creep in? Or has it just happened. However it happens, it happens. We just need to go to God and then trust Him. As best we know how. And as hard as it is to wait, wait on Him!

And remember this: Jesus is our King!


Have a wonderful day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
