The Right Things At The Right Time.

 "Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have." Philippians 4:11

It's difficult sometimes for us to remember the little blessings. We see people getting new cars, new houses, having kids, getting married, finding a partner, or even getting the job you had been praying for, but we have to learn that that's not all life is about. We have to find joy in the small things, be thankful for the things we do have, God gives us what we need in just the right timing. We aren't starving, homeless, or doing without things we need. A hard thing to deal with is realizing you can live without those things you want, not things you need. You have to be content with where and what God has given you. You cant focus on things that you don't have, or things you want. Things are difficult at times, but God will always give us more than enough. You have to trust that God knows best. I've learned that God sometimes says no to the things we think we want but we realize we don't actually need. Sometimes it hurts us when God says, no but know He's going to give you more than you even asked for in the end. The Bible tells us God will give us more than we ask or think, we just have to ask Him, and trust that the right things will come to us. We have to sit back and relax, stop trying to make things become ours, what is meant for you will always find you. God will send you the right people, the right job, the right house, and at the right time you will have all that is meant for you. Give your request to God and let him give you the things that you're praying for. For the time being learn to be content with what God has already so graciously blessed you with. Here are some verses to reflect on. "But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask anything you want, and it will be granted!" John 15:7 "Keep on asking, and you will receive what you asked for. Keep on seeking and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7 "For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it." Proverbs 8:11 "And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?" Matthew 16:26

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...
