God Knows What You Need.

“Fear of the Lord leads to life, bringing security and protection from harm.” Proverbs‬ ‭19:23‬ ‭

Today as I sat in the living room I broke something and had to super glue it back together, I then laid it on a side table to let it dry properly. As I let it dry our cats came up and jumped on the table, I told her to get down out of fear she would get in the super glue it would hurt her. In a few minutes, she jumped back up and told her once again to get down. She loves to nap on the side table. This illustration might seem silly to some, but it spoke to me. How often do we go back to something God tells us to lay down or let go of? We always think that when God takes something away it's to punish us, instead, sometimes it's to protect us from harm. God sometimes allows people and things to not work out for us and us to be pushed away so that we can be all He has called us to be. If God has taken something away that you thought you needed remind yourself that it doesn't mean you can't ever have it back, and it also doesn't mean that you have done something wrong, it's to protect you. I heard someone once say that sometimes God puts up a roadblock in our life to let evil pass ahead of us. Today, if you feel as if you're at a roadblock in life or if something you wanted was taken away, or if you feel like you can't get something you want right now, know that God has a plan for this, He still is in control. It doesn't mean forever, let God provide the things you need because He knows what you need and what will hurt you in the end. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:4‬ ‭ “They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.” Psalms‬ ‭91:12‬ ‭ “When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.” Psalms‬ ‭91:15‬ ‭

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...
