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

Image
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 23~ The Battle Belongs to the Lord~ waiting on God~ Our battle cry

Good afternoon! Isn't God is good! We have come a long ways in our discussion through Joyce Meyer's book, " 100 ways to simplify your life." Day 22~ The Battle Belongs to the Lord~ Our scripture reading comes from 2 Chronicles 20:17, " You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord [who is] with you, O Judah and Jerusalem." Wow! Take a moment and let that verse sink deep into your heart. Matter fact, find a note card and write this one down. Life throws us lemons, we just need to learn how to handle them. So many times we try to fight every battle that we come into contact with only to find ourselves getting discouraged, disappointed, overwhelmed, and we can easily mess it up. If we look at 2 Chronicles 20: 17-22, God gives Jehoshaphat"...You will not have to fight this battle." We can break it down into three simple steps. Jot this down! Step 1. Seek the Lord f...
