Today's Devotion

It is so easy for us to take something to heart or let it hurt our heart. It is hard to let God have our troubles and worries. But, He tells us in His word that we are not to worry. Give our concerns to Him and let Him handle them. When we worry or fret about something, it doesn't get fixed, taken care of, or even change. Not only does it not change, but we can't give it to God if we continue to carry it ourselves. Some of our worries can get the best of us and take over us. We will eventually become sick, depressed, withdrawn from friends, even create damage to our bodies. We should trust that God will take care of us. God wants to take care of us, after all He made us. Just like when we create something in our life we want ownership of that project. God made us and He wants to keep the ownership of what He created. Why worry today or tomorrow when we can give it to God and let Him take total control? To be honest; I want God to take all my worries and concerns rather than man. Why? Well, He is the creator and He is the "know all" and He is the only one that can fix, take care of, correct all of my concerns. Give it up, give it to God.

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Matthew 6:25-27

Great price, great gift.

You tell me what you are looking for & I will design it.

Today's Devotion

In today's world or society it is easy for someone to tell us what we should or shouldn't do, how we should or shouldn't live, who to hang out with and on and on I can go. But sometimes we need someone to just be plain honest with us and give us the answers we are not wanting to hear. Ex. You really need to loose weight, I am concerned about your health. Or, I heard you were buying a new car, well you may want to check into the information facts for those type of cars. I hear they have had a lot of recalls. Sometimes the truth will hurt and sometimes it will just totally set us free. So, what do I mean with all of this? With all of the hoopa lala's from others, be assured that God has everything under control and that only He can make things the way they are suppose to be and still give you peace. Trusting man or Trusting God~ where do you stand. Man is out form himself. There is no I in TEAM, but man likes to put one there. We are all guilty. At times we are looking for the I in team so we can make since of the I, ME, SELF and where the I, ME, SELF fits in. Be careful of these types of people and make sure you focus on NOT living that way. God loves a cheerful giver and those that give (time, money, worths, etc) without complaint will be rewarded in Great Ways. Here is today's devotion:

In God I have put my trust; I will not fear what man can do to me. Psalm 56.:4

Where do you stand with God on this? Search yourself. Trust God or Trust Man?

Today's Devotion

Be confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. And I pray that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and in all judgement, that you may approve things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are from Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:6, 9-11

We should hold fast and be assured that God has created great things in us and for us. If we stay confident and let Him work with us and through us great things will come. We all have gifts and it is our choice to either use them or not use them. However, God would not have created you or given you your gift if He didn't have faith in you to prosper and be successful in those gifts. The gift you have today may not be the gift you had 10 years ago, nor may it be the gift you will have 10 years from now. God changes our gifts as we mature in knowing Him and trusting Him and giving Him our ALL. I pray that you find your gift, find courage, and find peace with what God has given you. Be humble, be sincere and grow in knowledge through His word, The Bible.

God Bless~

Today's Devotion

Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. Job 37:14

Don't you just love how Wonderful and Majestic God is? WOW~ He sent his Son, Jesus Christ - here on earth to live a life as we do, and then to die, so we can live an eternal life as He does.

It is so wonderful and gives me peace and power. How can we look around our daily living and see the wondrous works God has given to us?

Look at a newborn child being born

See the flowers and trees come to life in the Spring

Watch good things flourish right before your eyes (a sickness be healed, a lost one be found...etc)

Feel the peace in troubled times

Watch how God will feed you and shelter you when the job is lost or finances aren't there

and on and on we can go.

How can we see these things? By opening our eyes and our hearts. God loves us and He is our salvation, our creator, our peace, our strength, our LOVE. Don't spend the day WITHOUT Him~
