Happy Monday! I hope your weekend went well. Our weekends seem to fly by. This week, I’m talking about having a made up mind and not giving up!
When I focus on the bad things, it always makes me feel down.
Paul urges us to set our minds on things about in Colossians 3:2, “ Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
This doesn’t mean that we only think about heaven. We should be focusing on the positive. If you have at least one good thing going on in your life, be grateful.
I think the Devil likes us to get busy with life and forget to stop and be thankful. I always love it when I see people pull over the side of the road to enjoy the beauty of God.
My day is so much better when I start with the positive.
I have made up my mind, I am not giving up!
Happy Monday! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend. I can’t believe we are already in November and Thanksgiving will be here soon. It won’t be long before the start of 2023. So how do I know what God’s will is for my life?
When I was younger I would make decisions quickly and not take the time to think things through. Needless to say, I ended up making some bad decisions and I didn’t take the time to pray about it.
Over the years, I have learned it is important to pray about everything.
How do I know what God’s will is for my life? God wants me to take the time to ask Him what He thinks before I make any decision.
Colossians 3:15 states, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”
The idea of peace ruling my hearts makes me happy. God is not a God of disorder.
When we make decisions it is important to follow peace. When we fail to follow peace we have to live with the consequences.
Tis the season for peace not chaos.
So how do I know what God’s will is for my life? I will have a deep sense of peace in my heart.
Have a wonderful and peaceful week. Blessings!
Happy Monday! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend. We are always busy at our house. What about yours? Today I am talking how our focus gets lost in the cares of the day!
Busy here, busy there. Do you find yourself saying this on a daily basis? Yeah, me too! Our focus gets lost in the cares of the day!
When someone asks you about your day do you respond, “I’m so busy.”
I have realized in the last month that I cannot allow my busy schedule to get in the way of my time with God even if I have to get earlier. I never really understood what it meant to pray without ceasing.
My grandparents prayed throughout the day. But, I believed that if I devoted some time to God during the day I was pleasing God. On many days, I allowed myself to get focused on the cares of the day and would forget about my time with God!
I soon realized my time that I had set aside wasn’t enough. I had to get past my thoughts that I was a bother to God if I asked Him for little things.
Including God in every area of my life wasn’t easy and still isn’t.
You know what, I learned that God cares about the tiniest things in our lives such as a parking place at the grocery store.
So, make time throughout your day for God! He wants to be a part of everything.
I love this scripture and it helps me when I’m feeling overwhelmed: Psalms 103: 1-5.
Have a wonderful week! Thank you for stopping by kamzinsser.com.
