Happy Monday! We are now into August and Summer is almost over. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for some cooler weather and we need rain badly. This week I am talking about the truth! So many things are happening around us. But, there is one thing I know to be true!
The internet has made spreading ideas and thoughts so easy. When we have a question, we go to the internet to look it up. Don’t get me wrong, I love being able to find information so quickly. However, just because I can find it quickly doesn’t make it true.
One thing that I have been thinking about lately is the truth. Many people say things have changed so what was truth many years ago is not necessarily the truth today. I do agree that some things have changed over the years.
However, Isaiah in the Bible testified many years ago, “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.” Isaiah 40:8.
One thing I know to be true is God’s word never changes.
What does this mean? We can go to God’s word and believe in His promises. We can trust that God will take care of us and will always be with us.
Focusing on these truths will get us through any storm we face.
Friends, I would like to pray for you today. If you are feeling worried or anxious one of my new favorite songs that I listen to is by Cody Carnes. I hope you will take a few minutes to listen.
Thank you for stopping by today to read my blog. If you need some uplifting reads, check out my other blogs at kamzinsser.com.
Happy Independence Day! Wow, I can’t believe we are already in July. This week is not only the 4th of July but my parent’s anniversary on the 5th. I have always loved the month of July. However, it can be hard to celebrate the holidays when you are going through some trials. The bottom line, being rooted gets you through!
Over the last few weeks, I have been reading about inner strength. On days when I don’t feel good, I pray for God to give me strength.
However, the more that I study the Word of God, I am becoming stronger. The bottom line, being rooted gets you through!
Colossians 2:6-7, “So then, just as you received Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.“
Let’s dissect these verses just a bit. I like the part about being “rooted and built up in Him.” Paul is referring to the inward self. We tend to worry more about our outward self. In fact, we spend more time and money making our outward self look the best but forget about your inward self.
Are you spending time on your inward self?
The more time we spend in the Word and talking to God, our roots become more and more grounded. I don’t know about you, but I want to be grounded in Christ.
Also, having the right mindset will help us get through the toughest of times. I know this one is a tough one. It is so easy to give into the negativity of the world. I catch myself doing this almost every day.
But when we choose to stay positive and joyful, it makes the day go so much better.
Don’t let these challenges steal your joy. Bottom line, it’s important to stay rooted in the Word of God! Because the knowledge that you gain from the Word will make you stronger as long as you apply it.
Friends, I hope that you are spending time with your friends and family today. My husband is actually off today so we will spend time together.
Until next time! Have a wonderful week. I have other blogs if you want to check out my website at kamzinsser.com.
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I spent the weekend doing the things around the house to prep for the start of the week. One think I enjoy doing on the weekends is spending time with my husband. It is important to stay positive in the middle of the chaos. I like starting off my mornings with the saying, I’m expecting something great is going to happen today.
What does faith mean to you? Faith to me means putting my trust in God and not trying to figure things out on my own. I spend way too much time trying to figure things out instead of praying about it.
When in truth, I should have confidence and hope for something great to happen everyday.
The people in the church in Colossians were known for their faith. Colossians 1:4 states, “Because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people.”
It would be amazing to be known for your faith and love for others. One of my favorite verse in the Bible is Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as a real fact what is not revealed to the senses]”
Expect something great to happen today!
Here’s the great news, we can choose to believe God’s Word and be confident by faith that things will be okay even when we don’t see it.
Friends, have faith and expect something great to happen today!
