Good morning! How are we faithing? How do you deal with every day drudgery? How do you deal with pain? Do you complain? Do you curse things? Do you lash out or do you take the time to seek out benefits and wisdom? Do you try to look beyond whatever current pain to see where you will be when it's over? It is very important that we seek God in absolutely everything. Today you and or I may be healthy, warm, fed, content but tomorrow when the car stalls and you're late for work, the dog dies, the furnace blows up and your favorite shirt gets mustard spilled on it, how are you gonna react? How are you going to cope? Does "woe is me" settle in for a time or do you snatch your britches and press on? We all have those days or seasons but why would we compound them by heaping more negative on top of pain you don't like anyways? Man, it is easy to succumb to a pity party but really, does that help at all? Do you enjoy the dark side that much? I'm not about to tell you to dance when your Mom dies but prepare yourself with the Word so you can grieve in a healthy manner and not be down in the basement digging holes because you need to get lower. Bad feeds on itself. Depression if not caught spirals down. Look at these with application to your life;
Romans 8:10-11
And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.
NAS
1 Corinthians 2:12-13
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
NAS
1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
KJV
remember Chris Hall...remember Diane Harrod...remember Jimmy Brown...remember our service men and women...remember Josh and Nik
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that sustains us. Lord we ask a healing of spirits and minds today. We ask for clarity in things we encounter. Let us not be dismayed or fall for satan and his henchman's traps. Help us hold onto your grace and love with an understanding that carnal things are of this world and we are in it but not of it. Lord we lift those mentioned and ask your touch be so obvious. Let them have a vision of you that cannot be denied. It is in your holy and precious name, amen
