Happy Monday! I hope that you spent time with family and friends last week. Now that everyone is gone, my house is so quiet. You know what, I learn more in the quiet!
When I was younger, I never enjoyed the quiet. It was a time when my mind focused on the bad instead of the good.
Now that I’m older, I find that I learn more in the quiet!
Our lives tend to be so busy with work, family, and activities. Maybe we keep our lives busy so we don’t have to focus on things.
This time of year, it seems we are even busier. I know that prepping for Christmas takes a lot of time.
What does it mean to be still? Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
His word reminds us to be still and know that God is with us. I learn more about God in the quiet. Listen for God’s voice. He will guide you throughout your day.
Thank you for stopping by today. For ideas on after Thanksgiving leftovers, please check out my recipe section for free holiday recipes at kamzinsser.com.
As we begin the month of November, it is hard to believe we are so close to Thanksgiving and Christmas. But, I am so thankful for so many things today. Over the years, I have realized that thankfulness is the key that opens so many doors!
Numbers 11 talks about the Israelites and their journey. Even after they were delivered from slavery in Egypt, they wanted to go back. Their attitudes were so bad they spent 40 years in the wilderness.
“When the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and His anger was kindled…” (Numbers 11: 1).
When I think about all of the times that God has blessed me, I am truly amazed. However, it is on many days that I find myself complaining about small things.
In truth, complaining is just human nature. We have to make a conscious effort to not complain when things don’t go our way. Thankfulness is the key that opens so many doors!
As we move into the Thanksgiving season, I want to have a good attitude. God promised us in Romans 8:28, if we will continue to pray, love Him, and want His will, things will work out for our good.
I have faith that no matter how hard things get, God will work things out for our good. It. is a guarantee!
I am starting a thankful book. I hope that you will start one too! Every day write things in it that you are thankful for. When you have a bad day, go back and read all of the good things that God has and is doing in your life!
What are you thankful for?
Happy Monday! This week I am talking about setting priorities. Do you get distracted easily? Me too! I make a to-do list for the day, but it is a struggle to stay on task most days. It’s not always easy setting priorities!
I was listening to my morning podcast and one of the topics this week was about making God first in our day and lives.
It is challenging to spend that time with God when we pack our schedule so full. Many days, I am literally running around doing all the things and forget to make time for God.
I find that my day goes so much better when I make that time in the mornings to pray, read, and meditate on His word. When I am doing life with God!
Friends, we are constantly in a battle. What does that look like for you?
It may just be a battle for our time or a battle of the mind. No matter what it looks like it is real.
We must spend time with God so we can fight these battles.
2 Samuel 22:30-35 states, “With your help, I can advance against a troop; with my God, I can scale a wall.”
Without God, I couldn’t make it through my day. But with God, I “can scale a wall.” Friends, we can make it through with God.
Let’s do life with God. Our days will go so much better. Subscribe to my weekly blog at kamzinsser.com
