When everything seems to be falling apart…when you are feeling overwhelmed…just remember this scripture in Proverbs!
You have a STRONG TOWER that is a place of protection, healing, peace, and love! Call on the name of Jesus! He is your strong tower!!
Praying for all that need to hear this morning…
It’s important what we focus on each day! Do we focus on everything that we think is “wrong” in our life? Or do we focus on what is good? One choice brings anxiety, fear and helplessness. And one brings joy, peace, and strength. Everyday is a new day! What do you choose to focus on today?
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV
I am thankful!! I had a confrontation with my bathroom wall at 3:00am Tuesday morning. Immediately after, the swelling was as big as a tennis ball! Kinda scary… but the swelling went down quickly with the application of ice several times.
I am thankful! No bones broken around my eye…no damage to my eye itself…and my nose was not hit! (Those of you that know my “nose history” understand the relief).
I am thankful! The swelling is almost gone completely this morning. The Lord is using this to squeeze out more of my preoccupation with my appearance. I had a decision to make – sit at home and wait out the healing of the bruising – which I have heard could take many weeks. OR, continue with my daily commitments and get my mind off of myself and back on where it belongs – on the Lord and His kingdom purposes. ❤️
I am thankful! Lord, continue to mold and shape me into the vessel that You can use in love and power in Your kingdom. Continue to call me up higher…and not be overwhelmed with earthly things.
Thank You, Lord!!
Lord, help me to not focus on my weaknesses, but on Your ability to show Your strength in and through them. May Your power be made perfect (finished, accomplished, fulfilled) in and through me!!
God has a purpose in the waiting. His timing is perfect! Let’s not focus on the waiting…let’s focus on HIM!! ❤️❤️❤️
We choose how to live each day. Are we living a day of thankfulness for all that the Lord has given us and His precious presence in our lives? Are we speaking life-giving words over others? Is our focus on Him or on our circumstances? Each day is a choice… what do we choose this day? May we choose well…
I have posted the pic below before in years past…but I think it is a reminder that we need to keep ever before us.
If we truly come to church with a heart of worship and a desire to hear from Him…how can we not be changed!
We are assured in His Word that He is there with us as we gather together. May we be sensitive to His presence!
May we gather in our churches in Jesus Name and not for any other reason. It’s all about JESUS! And when we get our focus in the right place…everything else will fall into place.
“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” (Matthew 18:20 NASB1995)
Reflection of Glory!
