Day 76 ~ Don't Give up~ We are More Than Conquerors

Welcome to day 76 with our devotional reading and reflection as we continue through Joyce Meyer's book, " 100 Ways to Simplify Your Life." Every day is a new beginning. Things come and go! But the one thing that remains is God.

Day 76 ~ Don't Give up~

Our scripture reading comes from Romans 8:37, " Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us."

It is so easy to develop a " give up" attitude with situations that happen throughout our life time. Problem with giving up, we start buying into all these "lies" that Satan starts repeating and then our thinking starts to react to those lies. The cycle begins when it starts to affect our emotions and attitudes. I am the most miserable when I am hanging around those that are always negative or want to make you feel less important because it's all about them. I am sure many of you have heard many things that people have said about you that were not true and those lies still stick around. It is a battle when we face any form of rejection or hurtful situations, like we didn't matter to that person and in reality we didn't. If they cared or loved us, why did they do what they did in the first place. Satan is the author of lies and confusion. That is his playground and we get caught up in it with our " stinking thinking mentality." We have to learn who we are in Christ and cover ourselves with His identity. We need to stop buying into Satan lies. 

Reflection ~ We are More Than Conquerors~

We have to remember that we are more than conquerors. Jesus Himself knows how it feels to be lied about and rejected. He is the perfect example of how to handle things when we have those trying situations that keeps us under. We need to renew our minds daily through reading His word and meditate on them. We need to have a stronger relationship with God to keep us on the right track. Our trials are victorious through Jesus Christ and there is no room for the " Give up " attitude.

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,
