Don't Be Lazy.

 "Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically." Romans 12:11

We all tend to be lazy at times and procrastinate, and that's okay. Even God took a day of rest after making the world. He wants us to have a day of rest, but we can't let it take over and make us live everyday like that. We have to be productive and spread the good news of Christ. I personally have a list of things I do every morning, It makes me feel productive even if it's a day I'm spending at home. Every Sunday and Monday my entire family is off work, so every Monday I try my best to get up shower, do the dishes, dust the living room and dining room and I sometimes do a little extra. I remind myself that the day before on Sunday is a day of rest from the long hard week, it's a day of peace and relaxation. The best thing we can do is set a routine for ourselves, we have to let God give us the strength to do the things needed to get done. Today be a little more hard working, when you feel lazy talk yourselves into getting up and organizing something, go for a walk, or just go help the homeless somehow. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich." Proverbs 10:4 "Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors." Proverbs 26:16 "Lazy people irritate their employers, like vinegar to the teeth or smoke in the eyes." Proverbs 10:26 "Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave." Proverbs 12:24 "And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation." Genesis 2:3

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...
