Happy Monday! This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice! When my boys were little, they would alway ask for things at the grocery check out line. One day, I was standing in the line at the grocery store and over heard a little boy telling his mother, “I want it and I want it now!” I chuckled because it reminded me of my boys when they were little.
I realized a couple of weeks ago that I was more like this little boy than I cared to admit. It is so amazing how God works in our lives. He can speak to us through a song or a sermon. It may be all at once or little by little.
When my focus is off, I don’t hear God’s voice! I tend to listen to what I want and need.
What are you focused on today? It is so easy to get our eyes off of God and on to what the world offers.
God wants us to seek His presence not His presents! The word “presence” means face which represents a personal relationship with God.
As we continue to seek God, we grow spiritually and we learn what is truly important.
Psalm 27:4, “One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after:

That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of Jehovah,
And to inquire in his temple.”
God is never more than one thought away. We may not always feel like it, but He is always present. God wants and needs us to have faith and believe.
Hebrews 11:6 states, “and without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.”

Say no to I want it and I want it now!
It is certainly okay to ask for things but more frequently we should ask for more of Him.
Trust God to give you what you need, when you need it! Matthew 6:33 says to “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you.”
A new song came out a couple of weeks ago and it is on my daily playlist. I wanted to share it with you. Please enjoy!
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope that you will have a lovely week. Seek God first!
Let’s be friends. Stay in touch.
Happy Monday, Friends! It is a great day to have a great day. I hope that you are having a nice start to your week. We are in the first full week of February. What do you have planned for this week? Waiting is the hardest thing that we ever do!
This past weekend my husband and I had an early Valentines date. I hope that you and your family or friends are making the most of your time and doing things you love.
One of the hardest thing that we ever do is wait. We wait for our prayers to be answered. We spend a whole of time waiting at traffic lights. Did you know humans spend 6 months of their lives waiting in line and on average 43 days on hold with automated customer service.
Friends what are you waiting for? The Bible tells us in Psalms 39:7, “And now, Lord, for what do I expectantly wait? My hope [my confident expectation] is in You.”
You may be waiting on God to move on your behalf.
Don’t give up! He won’t let you down. Our hope is in the Lord.
I would love to pray for you. Let me know how I can pray for you.

Happy Monday! I hope that you are having a nice start to your week. We are starting a new month this week and boy is it easy to fall prey to the negativity of the world. For many years, the negativity that I allowed to enter my mind would replay over and over. It is time to stop the replay of negativity in our minds!
According to 2 Corinthians 5:21, “He made Christ who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God.”
The God’s righteousness is available to us when we ask Jesus to be our Savior. It is a gift to us. We didn’t earn it, it comes by grace and through faith.
About a year ago, I was listening to a podcast by Joyce Meyer. She said we could make our day go better just by getting our words in agreement with God. We can change our thoughts and words in agreement with the way God speaks and thinks about us.
Wow, this really hit me hard. I could change the way I felt about myself by aligning my thoughts with what God thinks of me?
I can say things like, “I am the righteousness of God.” “Jesus loves me!” It may be a bit awkward at first. But when you do this on a regular basis, it starts to sink in.
What are you saying about yourself? Stop the negativity replay in your mind today.
When we accept the righteousness of God the more we start to do and live right!
This is a game changer!
