Happy Tuesday! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend. We spent the weekend with our granddaughters and kids. It was an amazing time with the family.
How many of you enjoy waiting for something? I sure don’t! I can remember when my boys were little and they did not like to wait especially to open their gifts at Christmas.
Are you praying for something and still waiting for it to happen? I do think the key in waiting is having a good attitude while we wait. But, that is super hard!
Romans 12:12 states, “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”
Psalm 27:14 states, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
So what do we do while we are waiting? The first scripture says to be in constant prayer. We should never give up on praying and spending our time with God. God also says to rejoice! This may be the hardest but one of the most important parts of waiting.
The second scriptures states, “be strong.” I admit that many times I have said, “I do not feel strong”. These are the times that God takes over. He does not expect us to be strong all of the time. He wants us to rely on Him. He has it all figured out!
Just wait and see!
Happy Tuesday! I hope that everyone had a great Memorial Weekend and took time to honor those who lost their lives in our nation’s wars. I am so proud to live in America.
How was your last week? Are you feeling frustrated, discouraged, or disappointed? Are you tired of trying?
I admit I get frustrated when things don’t work out the way I think they should. Can anyone relate?
This past week I have been thinking a lot about grace. What is grace? Why do we need it?
Grace is the power to overcome all of life’s struggles. Grace is God’s power.
In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul pleaded with the Lord three times to take a thorn in his flesh. God answered, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul delighted in hardships because “when I am weak, then I am strong.”
If you are tired of trying, exchange your trying for trusting. His grace is all that you need. You got it!
We had a great weekend celebrating my birthday with family and friends. It was just what I needed.
Philippians 3:15-21 states, “So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision-you’ll see it yet!”
It is time to change our focus to the promises of God. This is hard but I think this is so important to our moving forward. We need to place our trust in God. God has given us so much to be grateful for. Concentrate on the things that God has done and promised to do!
Have a great week!
Blessings to you all!
