Be At Peace.

 "And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don't panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won't follow immediately." Matthew 24:6

We are in really tough times right now with wars being talked about, we are all scared and worried. Yes I am blessed enough to live in America where we are free here, but there are soldiers who fight for our freedom. Some will even be sent to fight this war. That's a scary thing for my generation, we have never witnessed a war, everyone is talking about how a war is fixing to break loose. It's very tragic to think that there are soldiers who are going to have to fight for this country, and put their lives on the line. When we think of these things we all tend to panic, it's scary to even think about. I'm a complete over thinker, I will admit. I tend to think the worse in every situation, so when I first heard about this I was so scared. I started to think the worst, but when I found this verse I found a sense of peace. the Bible was written over 2,000 years ago, God told us these things would come to past, He also told us not to panic. He told us it will seem like the end but doesn't mean it is the end. At this time in our world, war is a very touchy subject at the moment, we are all scared and don't know what happens next. The Bible teaches us that even though we go through difficult times God is always there as our shield. Today when you see the news, read an article, or see a post try to remember God told us this would happen, He also told us this wasn't the end. We will be okay, we will make it through this. Here is some verses to reflect on today. "I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war!" Psalms 120:7 "Then he will add, "Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." Like 21:10 "We are human, but we don't rage war as humans do." 2 Corinthians 10:3 "Praise the Lord, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my finger skills for battle." Psalms 144:1 "A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace." Ecclesiastes 3:8 "Call your councils of war, but they will be worthless. Develop your stagiest, but they will not succeed. For God is with us." Isaiah 8:10

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
