True beauty

 Esther 1:11 “to bring before him Queen Vashti, wearing her royal crown, in order to display her beauty to the  people and the nobles, for she was lovely to look at.”  In the book of Esther King Xerxes commanded Queen Vashti to “show herself off”.  Was this respectful of Queen Vashti?  When we focus on showing off our physical beauty what does that say about how much we value our inner beauty?    How will you present yourself today?  How do you value others?

Carry it out to completion

 Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that He that began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”   He who began a good work in you will carry it through to completion!!!   Don’t weary in well doing.  He is with you!!   Do the work God has given you to do!!  

Attitude is altitude

 Philippians 4:14 “Do everything without complaining or arguing.”   Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”   Do it all for the Lord without grumbling, complaining or arguing.   Do you do good with a bad attitude?   Sometimes it’s easy to get weary in well doing.    Adjust your attitude!!! Attitude is altitude!!!  Today do what is right with the right mindset!!! Be pleasing to our Lord, inside and out!!!

Don't be shaken

 Acts 2:25 “David said about him:  “I saw the Lord before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”

Don’t let anything or anyone shake 

You today!! The Lord is with You!!!

A cheerful heart is good medicine

 Proverbs 17:22 “ A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”   How do you keep your  heart cheerful?   For me,  I stay cheerful because I keep my eyes on Jesus.    Every day there are things that can steal my joy, if I let them.   I try not to let them!! I do this by reading the Bible and applying it to my life.   I practice TRUSTING God in all things; knowing that all things will work out for my good and His glory.   Patience, is not my strong suit.   But when I truly, “wait upon the Lord” with His peace; I can have a cheerful heart.    I hope this helps you today too.   See what’s right, be thankful for it, be cheerful, knowing God’s sovereign hand is in it all.😇🙏❤️

Trust Him in the waiting

Micah 7:7 “But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.”

Wait upon the Lord!! Watch in Hope!! Waiting upon the Lord doesn’t mean standing still necessarily, although often it does.    I think it also means don’t let your heart be anxious about anything, even  in the middle of your waiting.   TRUST GOD in all things!! He hears our every prayer.   He answers our prayers in our best  interest.  TRUST!! 

Lies are not victomless

 Nahum 3:1 “ Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!”

When I read this verse this morning, I’m thinking about Lies and how even White lies hurt people.  Had your lying tongue ever hurt another? Has another’s lying tongue ever hurt you?  Today,  be careful to speak truth no matter how much easier it would be to lie.
