Are you Happy?




Psalm 37: 4-5 AMP “Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.  Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him also and He will do it.”

Today as you start your day I want to encourage you to take the first couple of minutes of your day and think of all the good things that you have received during this week.  Sit down and make a list.  Looking for each gift or surprise that came your way.  Now think of the person who gave it to you, and then say thank you.

Now think of all the wonderful gifts God has given you during this week.  Write it down and think of the people that do not have half the gifts you have right now in your life.  Then go and take delight in the LORD.

By making a mental note you cannot actually perceive the amount of great and wonderful things that you have received from the LORD.  It will disappear like mist in the sunlight.

It is with great pleasure and with enthusiasm LORD that we come before YOUR throne today.  Oh dear, LORD, we want to say thank You for a beautiful day, for the lovely flowers and for the air we breathe.  We want to take delight in YOU for being there for us each and every minute of the day.  LORD as we think of all our gifts and privileges in our lives we want to say Thank YOU, LORD. 

It is with excitement and enthusiasm that we come to YOU today.  It is with pleasure and feelings of joyfulness that we stand before YOU in awe of Your greatness, the goodness You bestowed on each of us.  Your mercy LORD is new every day, You are with us each and every minute of every day.  In awe, we worship and praise YOU.  In awe, we stand in YOUR presence.

Prayer


Abba Father, as we take pleasure in reading and studying Your Word each day, we humbly pray asking for the necessary wisdom, insight, and understanding.  With excitement, we learn as much as we can from Your word.  We delight in each and every word and we want to be an aroma pleasing to You.  Bowing down and worshiping You Abba Father in the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.  We delight ourselves in You today, clothing ourselves with Your presence and Your love over each of us.  We adore and worship You ABBA Father.  Thank You for this time in humble prayer.  We love YOU, LORD.  Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
