Day 91~ Be like Little Children ~ Courage to Trust Again and Again

Welcome to day 91 with our discussion and devotional reading as we are finishing up our discussion of Joyce Meyer's book,  "100 Was to Simplify Your Life." The ability to learn how to trust God is so important. He wants us to be like little children and have those eyes that see things innocently. They believe and they trust openly.

Day 91~ Be Like Little Children 

Our scripture reading comes from Psalm 4:8, " In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust."

I know that it is often hard to trust God through the most difficult days, but it can simplify our lives in better ways. We grow up saying to trust God with everything but as we mature through this physical world, our physical eyes only see what's around us. We find it Hard to trust anybody close to us and we have doubt. We love God but many of us have a hard time trusting Him with the plans for our lives that we question it all the time. As a child, remember running through the fields with no worries! God calls us to be like children living with the expectation that God is who he say He is. To trust Him without any doubt. Children trust more freely with things in this life than we do as adults and we often forget! God wants us to trust Him even when we fall that he will catch us in His arms. It is the cause to a lot of anxiety when we don't trust him.

Reflection~ Courage to Trust Again and Again~

Trusting God shows that we believe in His word. When we doubt Him,  we are saying that we don't believe Him! God loves us so much! Open your heart to trust again and let God do his part! Stop trying to figure it all out!

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,
