Where Hope Is Found.

“You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.”Psalms‬ ‭23:5‬

‭In the world today we look to feel secure in our lives, finances, belongings, friendships and even our relationships but we tend to forget the real secure feelings, joy and comfort is only found in Jesus. We can do everything that we can possibly thing of to keep ourselves out of harms way, but the real way that we can feel secure and safe in any circumstance is through Jesus and His Spirit that lives in and through us. When Jesus lives in us we begin to feel peace in situations that would normally send us spiraling, we feel hope in those dry lands because we know He can even make dry bones come alive, we feel joy in the moments that we use to feel sadness knowing if something is lost better will be found, we feel love because He is love, we feel forgiveness knowing that He came to redeem us from the sins we were yet to commit. The true good feelings of life such as happiness, love, fulfillment, contentment, joy, hope, forgiveness and peace are all found in God alone. We might feel these things for a moment from earthly things but it will never fill the void that is in our hearts that only God can fill. Think of it this way, earthly ways to find these emotions are ice, square pieces, no matter how hard you try there will never be a full cup without holes throughout it, but Jesus is the water, when He fills our cups they can overflow and be even all around the cup. Today let Jesus fill your heart with all the good things He has already set before you and planned for you! Give Him your heart, soul and mind to transform. Keep faith in Jesus and lean on Him for all things and you will always have a cup that runs over. Here are some verses to reflect on today! “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,” Galatians‬ ‭5:22‬ ‭ “but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.” Luke‬ ‭2:10‬ ‭ “Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!” Ezekiel‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ “So I spoke this message, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons.” Ezekiel‬ ‭37:7‬ ‭

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...
