It's Thursday.

“Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him.” Luke‬ ‭22:43‬ ‭

Today of Holy Week was the last supper. Jesus had sent Peter and John to get the meal prepared. Jesus told them a prophecy of where the last supper would happen, and someone that would welcome them into their home. All came to pass as Jesus had said. Later on they sat down to eat. They broke bread and done communion together. Jesus said there is one friend among us that will betray me. Peter said that He would do anything for Jesus and Jesus told Him that before the rooster crows tomorrow morning he would deny Him three times that he even knew Jesus. Later on after the supper Jesus went to the Mount of Olives to pray. Jesus prayed "Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine." Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened Jesus! This goes to show us that Jesus knew in His flesh He didn't want to have to go through the pain but He done it anyway. I read a quote once that stuck with me, it said "When He was on the cross, you was on His mind." Today, know that Jesus thought of you even though His flesh didn't want to go through the pain. He paid a debt that He didn't owe for the debt none of us could pay. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Then he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. Then he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.” Luke‬ ‭22:17‬ ‭ “But Jesus said, “Peter, let me tell you something. Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”” Luke‬ ‭22:34‬ ‭ “Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives.” Luke‬ ‭22:39‬ ‭ ““Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”” Luke‬ ‭22:42‬ ‭

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...
