Happy Monday! Thank you for choosing to stop by and check out my blog today. I hope that you will be blessed!

1 Peter 2:9 states, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

When we think of royalty what comes to your mind. I think of princes and princesses in a castle. I heard this week that most people love reading about the royals. 

I believe we get caught up in what the world deems royalty but lose sight of what God says it is in the Bible. 

When we have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, we are the sons and daughters of the King. 

Once we truly understand who we are in Christ, we can trade our tarnished view of ourselves for the real truth. 

Grab hold of these truths, friends! You are who He says you are not what others say about you. 

You are royalty! 

Happy Monday! I hope that everyone had a great weekend.

Ephesians 3:13 states, “So I ask you not to lose heart at my sufferings on your behalf, for they are your glory and honor.”

Friends, are you going through some difficult times? It seems that everyone that I encounter is experiencing some storms in their life.

In the above scriptures, Paul was in prison for preaching the gospel. He wanted the people to know that he was enduring the difficult times for them. He knew that God would use this difficult time for His glory.

When we are in the middle of difficult times, it can be so easy to give up. God does not want us to give up. He wants us to pray with boldness and confidence.

James 5:16 states, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” 

Prayer is the most effective way to fight our battles.

Blessings to you!

Happy Tuesday! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend. We spent the weekend with our granddaughters and kids. It was an amazing time with the family.

How many of you enjoy waiting for something? I sure don’t! I can remember when my boys were little and they did not like to wait especially to open their gifts at Christmas.

Are you praying for something and still waiting for it to happen? I do think the key in waiting is having a good attitude while we wait. But, that is super hard!

Romans 12:12 states, “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”

Psalm 27:14 states, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

So what do we do while we are waiting? The first scripture says to be in constant prayer. We should never give up on praying and spending our time with God. God also says to rejoice! This may be the hardest but one of the most important parts of waiting. 

The second scriptures states, “be strong.” I admit that many times I have said, “I do not feel strong”. These are the times that God takes over. He does not expect us to be strong all of the time. He wants us to rely on Him. He has it all figured out!

Just wait and see!
