Right Friends.

“Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.” Psalms‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭

When God delievers you from evil, don't keep in touch. Sometimes people willingly walk out of our lives that we thought would stick around forever, and it hurts. Sometimes God sees that they aren't meant for where you're going, they were only meant for where you've been. Stop questioning God every time He removes someone from your life. See when you're walking the fine line of being a Christian God and being against the world God doesn't let just anyone be in your everyday life. I'm not saying you can't eat with the sinners but being around them all the time is only going to tempt you. God doesn't want you to stumble or be around those who might cause you to. We shouldn't allow ourselves to be around those who could cause us to do so. Don't be so quick to run to those you know aren't good for you, or good for your relationship with God. You can be a friend from a distance and still protect yourself and your relationship with God. Today, don't be so quick to question why God takes people out of your life, it's all for a purpose and a part of the plan He has for you. Trust God to show you those who are right for you, and take those who aren't out of your everyday life. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.” Proverbs‬ ‭13:20‬ ‭ “The godly give good advice to their friends; the wicked lead them astray.”Proverbs‬ ‭12:26‬ ‭ “He chooses evil people as companions. He spends his time with wicked men.” Job‬ ‭34:8‬ ‭ “Don’t let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don’t let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong.” Psalms‬ ‭141:4‬ ‭

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...
