Happy Monday! I hope that your weekend was fantastic. This week I am talking about something that I learned the hard way. The minute I realized it, it was a life-changer.
The mind is a tricky thing. Our actions are a direct response to how we think. For example, Proverbs 23:7 states, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” If we think negatively, we will have a negative life. If we purposely think positively, we will have a positive life. The minute I realized this, it changed my life.
Friends, it isn’t always easy to think positively. The Devil is a liar and he tells us things about ourselves, people, and circumstances that are not true. As soon as we wake up the Devil fills our minds with suspicions, doubts, fears, wonderings, and reasonings.
“For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood, but against despotisms, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly” Ephesians 6:12.
If we dwell on these thoughts, we become weak, and if we aren’t careful we lose our hope which is right where the Devil wants us. “HOPELESS”
Being positive in a negative situation shows that we trust God to bring about good. In Romans 4:18-20, Abraham didn’t ignore the bad but he trusted God and had hope in faith.
Hope is the force that keeps us steady. Hebrews 6:19 tells us, “we have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor…” Just reading this verse gives me hope. Friends, this is life-changing news!
No matter what you are facing today, don’t give up! Place your hope and faith in God!
Hello friends! I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend! My husband and I spent some time with our granddaughters last week. It was an amazing week. However, I confess I am feeling a bit weary.
In 2020, we had the lockdown. We are well into 2021 and many people are still in lockdown and feeling a bit weary.
Can we get a break for a minute?
I confess I am feeling a bit weary and it would be easier to stay in bed on most days. Life is a struggle!
It seems most people are feeling a bit weary and struggling with something. If we aren’t careful, our struggles can literally consume us.
Over the last year, I have experienced the truth of Isaiah 40:29. “He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might. He increases strength.”
When I am tired, the Holy Spirit gives me the energy to keep going. I have hopes and an expectation that no matter what comes my way, something good is going to happen.
God has called us to be kind and loving toward others even when we don’t feel like it. Even if that is simply putting a smile on our faces and staying positive.
If you are tired, ask and trust that God will give you the strength you need for the day.

Luke 12:27-28 provides a wonderful reminder that we should live by. “Consider how the wildflowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!”
