Have you asked this question the last week? On Monday, I heard our city was extended the limited lockdown order until the end of April. While I half expected the decision, I was sad. Do you find yourself looking for a ray of hope?
This past weekend, we celebrated Easter without our granddaughters.
How was your Easter celebration? I would love to hear from you.
Anyway, I was thinking some of the stories from the Bible. One in particular that comes to mind is the story of Joseph. Joseph went through so much in his life such as being sold into slavery by his brothers and later imprisoned. God loved Joseph and never left him through every trial. Joseph’s story shows us how to have the right attitude through difficulty and misfortune.
Genesis 39:21, “the Lord was with him…”
Focusing on God in the before and the after will help us come out of this time of trouble.
Here is the hope you are looking for!
We may be in the middle of a pandemic, but God has never left us. He is right there beside us just like He was with Joseph.
We don’t have to wonder, God is here and He is for us!
Happy Friday! We made it through another week. I woke up this morning hopeful and thankful! I am thankful for so many things in my life. I am thankful we have a God who loves us and is taking care of us. I believe God wants us to draw closer to Him at this time.
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20).
It took Paul over twenty years to no longer live for himself. It is a daily struggle and it gets harder every day when we have pandemonium going on around us. However, asking God what we can do for others allows us to take the necessary steps toward this goal.
Let’s go into the weekend hopeful asking God to guide us! Focus on the one who gives us this day our daily bread!
Have a blessed weekend!
Happy Monday! I hope that you week is off to a fantastic start. As we near the end of September, I’m eagerly anticipating the end of this excessive heat. This week, let’s dive into a topic that’s close to my heart; navigating life with a fragrant perspective.
Fragrance Model Memories
During my young adult years, I worked as a perfume model. I’d approach random people, asking if they’d like to try the fragrance of the day. Spritzing it onto a card and handing it to them was the routine. By the end of the day, I often found myself nursing a headache.
Then I learned a better way to wear perfume-to spray it into the air and walk into the mist. It’s a bit like how we approach life with God’s Word and praise, navigating life with a fragrant perspective.
The Scripture that Sustains
One particular scripture that brings me comfort and guidance is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Living by faith, as the Bible calls us to; may seem like an insurmountable task. But it’s achievable when we meditate on the Word of God and speak it into our lives daily.
Navigating Life
Personally, I aspire to live in an atmosphere of praise. It’s a place where gratitude flows naturally, and faith finds fertile ground to grow.
Do you have any similar experiences to share? Have you ever had a moment when faith carried you through challenging times? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Let’s continue to journey together, supporting each other on our paths of faith. May your week be filled with blessings, positivity, and unwavering faith.
