Thanksliving. What a lovely by-word. Live thankful. It’s not always easy to see the glass half full, especially this year, 2020, but we do have so much to be thankful for. Sometimes, we just need to silence our negative internal thoughts and replace them with thankful thoughts – in other words, simply live our lives with a “thanksliving” attitude! Be blessed today!
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34, NLT)
Good Monday morning! As I post this today – I believe this is for one person. Have you ever whispered, “Is life really worth living?” You’ve made mistakes, feel hopeless and then the devil whispers, “It would be better for everyone if you weren’t here.” Dear reader, THOSE WORDS ARE LIES! God gave you life and He wants you here. Jesus can fix every problem. He loves you. He’ll help you. Call out to Him and He will rescue you.
“Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine” Isaiah 43:1
Good Monday morning! The life of Job in the Bible, describes the unexpected trouble one can come up against. Through no fault of his own, disaster lurked around every corner. All Job saw was, trouble and more trouble. We read that God had a purpose in Job’s suffering – therefore, we can be assured, He has a purpose in ours as well. God brought good back into Job’s life, and He can do the same for you.
And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed, the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. (Job 42:10, NKJV)
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30, NKJV)
If you are labouring in any way, carrying a burden of any sort – Jesus says, “I will give you rest”. In my own words He says, “Lean on me, I’m gentle and lowly and will take you under my wing. I will lead you, not pull you… I will carry you along.” How can we resist so great an invitation today? Blessings to you…
“Call to Me when you are in trouble.” What an invitation from the God of the universe! If you have a problem which seems impossible to solve, or a temptation too powerful to overcome – let us do what the scriptures ask and ‘call to Jesus’. Pray. Whisper His Name. God cares like no one else. There is no doubt in my mind dear reader, Jesus saves. May you have a blessed day!
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. (Psalm 91:15, NKJV)
