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.

Better a little with love than a lot with strife

 Proverbs 15:16 “Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.”         Better to TRUST God and be content with a little than to be burdened by our assets.  We can’t take any of our worldly wealth to Heaven.  Best to not let it control us while we are here.  The “fear” of God is not a trembling but a reverence and awe for Him that we desire to be pleasing to Him above all else.   So easy to say, much harder to do.  We cant have two masters and be single hearted.   We cant serve God and money.  Everything we have our physical abilities, financial assets, all of it is His in the first place.   Honor Him today with what you have.  Don’t let what you have become a burden to you.

Many companions or a deep friendship

 Proverbs 18:24 “A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.”   

Some people surround themselves with lots of people.    They have lots of social media and lots of acquaintances.      Hollywood celebrities come to mind.   Depth of friendship is hard to get when we have too many distractions.     Our best friend sticks closer than a brother.  Our best friend is with us always.  Do you ever get so distracted with the many friends of social media, or casual acquaintances that you neglect Jesus?    Personally, depth beats width every time.
