Worry Not
Jul 2nd
DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING, BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD. ( PHILIPPIANS 4:6 *NIV )
If I ask you, wouldn’t it be wonderful not to have any worries at all? That is hard to imagine isn’t it, for it seems like worry is part of this life. The part of life that causes us to lose sleep, damages our health, controls our thoughts, and causes us to lose faith in God.
Jesus Christ asked: “WHO OF YOU BY WORRYING CAN ADD A SINGLE HOUR TO HIS LIFE?” (MATTHEW 6:27). The answer is simple, no one! Jesus also said: “DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITSELF.” ( MATTHEW 6:34 ).
So why not turn your worries into prayers, after all God promises to supply all of our needs anyway! Therefore there is also an added benefit when we turn our worries into prayers, for God also promises us that: WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE AFRAID: WHEN YOU LIE DOWN YOUR SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. (PROVERBS 3:24)
Therefore, turn your worries into prayers and you will have sweet dreams, instead of sleepless nights! Also then you may even start to count your blessings instead of sheep as well! Amen.
Counting your blessings
Jul 1st
FOR YOU, O LORD, WILL BLESS THE RIGHTEOUS; WITH FAVOR. YOU WILL SURROUND HIM AS WITH A SHIELD. ( PSALM 5:12 *NKJV )
In this busy World of ours we often forget to stop and count all of our blessings. If we are not careful we may even take them for granted!
So why not stop and count your blessings today, for when you count them you will find that there are many indeed! Also you will find that counting your blessings is a great way to begin you day!
I will like to share a poem with you, and it is my hope that you will enjoy it!
Your Blessings Are So Many, Lord!
Your blessings are so many, Lord,
To count them one by one
Would take much longer than a day
That has just now begun!
You fill each day with miracles
From dawn to setting sun.
Each night You hear a million prayers
When day’s work is done.
You keep this old world spinning
As seasons come and go,
And each one is a masterpiece
That stets our hearts aglow.
You fill the earth with beauty, Lord,
With flowers, shrubs and trees,
And we marvel at Your rainbows
And butterflies and bees.
Your words still give us comfort
For Your promises are true.
Your blessings are so many, Lord,
In everything we do!
- Poet, Clay Harrison
Have a wonderful day, and: MAY GOD BE GRACIOUS TO YOU AND BLESS YOU AND MAKE HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU. Amen. ( PSALM 67:1 )
Positive thoughts, positive results
Jun 30th
“ALL OF THE DAYS OF THE AFFLICTED ARE EVIL, BUT HE WHO IS OF A MERRY HEART HAS A CONTINUAL FEAST.” ( PROVERBS 15:15 *NKJV )
We are all Architects of our own future! The thoughts we have today dictate what our future holds for us tomorrow. Therefore a person who has positive thoughts shall have positive results, just as a person who has negative thoughts shall attract negative results in their life.
Therefore if we start our day by counting all of our blessings, and then try to have positive thoughts all day, our hearts will be indeed merry! Thus as it is written: “A MERRY HEART MAKES A CHEERFUL COUNTENANCE, BUT BY SORROW OF THE HEART THE SPIRIT IS BROKEN.” ( PROVERBS 15:13 )
Be thankful for all that you have, for “HAPPY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN SUCH A STATE; HAPPY ARE THE PEOPLE WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD!” ( PSALM 144:15 ) After all it is then that you will have a continual feast!
Now may, “THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE COMMUNION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL.” AMEN. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 )
