Day 2~ Be satisfied with what you have~By Joyce Meyer~ Devotion and reflection

To continue with previous post~ 100 ways to Simplify your Life by Joyce Meyer  last post talked about keeping focus. 2) Be satisfied with What You Have~ Scripture reading is from Hebrews 13:5 " Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present[circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you. This is something that is difficult for many to comprehend! Is having "more" really satisfying? The more you have in reality is more that you have to take care of. Choices lead to consequences! I remember when I wanted to move out on my own! I saved my money I was making from subbing and cleaning. My grandfather passed away and I was able to take any house ware items that he had.

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."

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.

Welcome to day 71 with our devotional reading and reflection. The last few days we have been discussing changes rather them being positive or negative. When it comes to changes we have to be realistic and be wise as we make our way down the path that God is leading us. Let's talk more! Day 71~ Wisdom is What Keeps You From Burn Out~ Our scripture reading comes from Proverbs 3:13, " Happy ( blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the man who gets understanding [ drawing it forth from God's Word and life's experiences]." After many studies on wisdom, I have to admit that I don't always acknowledge my limitations and I keep going until I'm done. I was doing things just to do things to keep people happy. I thought I was serving God but in reality I was caught in pleasing people. Burn out is something that we all have faced in our lifetime. It isn't something that happens overnight and it is done the next...
