Day 75~ God is For Us~ God is Faithful

Welcome to day 75 devotional reading and reflection as we continue with our discussion of Joyce Meyer's book, " 100 Ways to Simplify Your Life." What happens when we loose our focus is that we forget who is in our corner all the time. We are making our way down this mountain to be prepared to start living the way God has intended us to live and to remember He is on our side.

Day 75~ God is For Us~

Our scripture comes for Romans 8:31, " What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us." 

We have to admit that everyone we encounter with will not like us nor some of our beliefs. Then we get wrapped up in getting people to like us by trying to please them more than God. Has anybody else fallen into that trap? I have numerous times. We have to realize the ones who loves us and accept us for who we are, are the ones that matter. Walk away from ones that bring you no purpose! Its' ok! When ever you face disappointment or hear things that people have said about you, brush it off and talk with God. Don't allow the information to upset you! I have been battling my weight since I was child and I do not fit into what the doctors think I should be. It is a battle! I know that if I keep doing what God told me to do, I have better results but I also have wisdom to ask for a doctors guidance! I know I have to bring some weight down, but in reality I am going to be bulkier than most women you see. I have to remember that God is on my side!

Reflection~ God is Faithful~

Throughout the bible, God has laid out His promises to us when we face adversary. In 1 Corinthians 1:9, " God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on)." Learning that God is for us and to fully understand how mighty he is, we can live a more peaceful life. He promises to never leave us nor forsake us. We aren't useless people because He has Divine purpose and plans for our lives if we only draw near to Him! Learning to stay focus on Jesus provides us an everlasting friend. When we gave our lives to God through the shedding of Jesus' blood, we have the Holy Spirit dwelling with us. The Holy Spirit walks along with us daily for guidance and comfort. So Today remember You are never ALONE!

Day 38~ Don't Worry About Your Children~ Teaching your Children~ We are all God's Children

Welcome to day 38 with our discussion through Joyce Meyer's book, " 100 ways to simplify your life." The biggest thing that we worry about is our children. I don't have any children of my own, but I feel I am still responsible for all the children I meet. It is so important to realize how special each one is. We are going to look deeper in how not to worry so much over our children that are placed into our lives. Day 38 ~ Don't Worry About Your Children~ Our scripture reading is from Matthew 6:27, " And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life?" Worrying is like a rocking chair that keeps rocking but you aren't going nowhere. I am not a parent but I have babysat, raised nieces and nephews, and was a daycare teacher for 20 years. It is hard sometimes not to worry about them. My nieces and nephews are my heart ! I would do anything for them. They are back here in N

Welcome to day 29 with our daily devotional and reflection as we continue to discuss Joyce Meyer's book, " 100 ways to simplify your life." There has been a lot covered in a few days and I will recap for those who are just joining our discussion. Day 29~ Think Before You Speak~ Our scripture reading is coming from Proverbs 13:3, " He who guards his mouth keeps his life, but he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin." Throughout the bible, God tells us numerous times to watch our mouths. My pastor is starting a new series titles Speech Therapy. It's not learning how to pronounce words effectively and learning to say letters correctly. This is more of spiritual check-up for Christians. our tongue can create a huge mess in our lives. I grew up not to speak at certain times and as I have grown up, I learned to speak my mind but at times I have to retract what I'm going to say and check in with God. I was young working in a factory with a bunch of m

day 80~ A bit of Grace for Today~ Gods Grace is Sufficient

Welcome to day 80 as we are continuing with our devotional reading and reflection.God is amazing and so loving! We don't deserve anything and so often take it for granted. Day 80~ A bit of Grace for Today~ Our scripture reading comes from James 4:6, "But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Today as I was working,  I realized how undeserving I am of God's blessings in my life. We are looking at God's grace. God loves us so much that he sent His son to die for our sins. As I struggle with learning new schedules and children,  I mess up a lot. People have been patient with me learning children and routines from all classrooms. It has made this transition to a new place easier!  Reflections ~ God's Grace is Sufficient  In Romans 5: 20, The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more." No matter how much we mess up,
