May you have a blessed day today, no matter what your circumstances might be!
Whether in abundance or in want, may we say, blessed be the name of the Lord.
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
2 Corinthians 9:15 NASB
This time of year is a great reminder, to be THANKFUL. Our God has given us new life in Jesus Christ for those that have given their lives to him. Let us choose to remember and share this good news, to all that will listen this season and everyday, we have opportunity.
May the Lord bless each and everyone one of you and may his Holy Spirit fill you, with the reminder of richness of his many blessings, he has given us. May we focus on what we have, not on what we don’t, which is what the world bombards us with, every day.
Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.
1 Chronicles 29:13 NASB
Keeping it simple, today.
Galations 5:14
For a the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “ b YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 NASB

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
James 1:2-3 NASB

Look at it this way. God gives us these trials (not temptations), to affirm our faith. He wants to be able to say to himself, good job you are faithful in this area. Then he will test us in another area of our lives. He doesn’t want us to remain as a baby in our faith. It is through this process, that we are able to help others in THEIR Faith. That is why we count it joy. Not because it may be fun, going through the testing, but because we are becoming mature and complete. One day we can enter heavens gates with the sound of, “Well done, good and faithfull servant”!
Thank You Lord.
