Anything Bitting you?

 Habakkuk 3:18-19 "Yet I will rejoice in the Lord.   I will be joyful in God my Savior.  19 The sovereign Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, He enables me to go on the heights."    Today, I have a full day and need to be strong and alert.   I often use this verse, when I am racing.  Today,  I see its relevance in an average day.   I was bitten by something on Sunday.   I've had a systemic reaction which has zapped me.   This reminds me of how in any moment everything, including our health can change.   Jesus,  is the only one that remains the same!!  Let's let Him keep us strong, going the heights today and always no matter what bites us!!😇❤️🙏💃

Not poverty or riches

 Proverbs 30:8 "Keep falsehood and lies from me; give me neither poverty or riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I may have to much and disown you and say, Who is the Lord?  Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of God.

My brother told me of a research poll. That found , the happiest group of people in the US have an income between 70-100k a year.  

I believe I am happiest when I am thankful for what I have.     When my eyes are on wealth I can’t get enough.   When my eyes are on lack I get anxious.   When my eyes are on Jesus knowing, He meets all my needs. I get peace.  

To the Full!!

John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."  

If what ever I am going through is based on killing, stealing and destruction it is not from God.   My hope lies in knowing that Jesus can take the horrible and turn it around.   Some how when I hold unto Him, in my troubles, and I can feel the Son-shine again.  I can feel His joy.   He wants us to have life here on earth to the full!!  I can only imagine how amazing life will be in Heaven.  Keep your eyes upon Jesus.    He'll keep you in all of your ways😇❤️🙏

In the storm, get a down grade

 Today, I am deeply saddened by the poor health of one of my dearest friends and mentors.   Sometimes life seems so unfair.  In her case, she has suffered more than anyone should have to.    Many  of my friends and loved ones have had such significant sufferings.  Some pain is so great it’s hard to think of anything else.   This is the verse she gave me today; I hope it helps you too in your afflictions.   Psalm 43:5 "Why are you downcast , O my soul?  Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God."   Today,  try our best to praise Him in our storms.

When I praise God in my storm,  it somehow gets a downgrade 😇

The Apple of His eye!!

 Psalm 17:8 "Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings."   It's hard to understand but each of us are the "Apple of His eye".  Jesus loves each of us intimately and is with us in our each and every moment.   "Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings!! ".  This prayer is giving me such great comfort today.  I hope it does you too😇❤️🙏

My soul cling to You

Psalm 63:6-8 "On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.  7 Because you are my help.  I sing in the shadow of your wings. 8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."   I have been teaching health and wellness since the 70s        If people don't get good sleep everything else is off too.  One of the very first things I try to help people with is their sleep.   Research shows that people who don't get enough sleep tend to be 25- 30 pounds  over weight.   My clients say they can't sleep.   They wake up and can't get back to sleep.   This passage is a good reminder that our rest comes from the Lord.   If you are one of those people who struggle with good quality sleep try to comfort yourself in Trusting Jesus instead of getting out of bed before you should or tossing and turning through the night.    Try to simply, "

Be still and know that He is GOD.    (Psalms 46:10)

TRUST.   He loves you and the ones you love even more than you can imagine

Godliness with contentment is great gain

 1 Timothy 6:6 "But Godliness with contentment is great gain."    Godliness with contentment to me is walking in Joy with Jesus knowing no matter what His ways are greater than mine.    It's walking in love, it's walking in TRUST.   It's walking in constant forgiveness and continual renewal so I can keep up with try, try, try again.    Godliness with contentment is great gain.    Can you embrace this in your heart today?
