The Lord is very good to me and provides me with more than enough. On Thanksgiving, I like to think of everything I am thankful for. Throughout this past year, I have noticed multiple“little blessings”. These little gifts like a situation resolution or a hassle free drive brighten my day. When I thank Jesus for these gifts, He fills my heart with joy. Psalm 92:4 is, “You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done.” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 I like the words “You thrill me, Lord,” in this translation. HisRead More →

I am not perfect. I make mistakes because I am human. For strength, I need to seek God and spend time in His Word. The closer I grow to the Lord, the more I desire to obey Him. Luke 11:28 is, “Jesus replied, ‘But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.’” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 I no longer want to miss out on God’s blessings. I want to seek Jesus and live out God’s Word. I start most days with good intentions. Once I finish my morning quiet time, I close my Bible andRead More →

I am tired all the time. It might be old age. It also might be from sometimes eating unhealthy food. I stay busy and sometimes keep going when I am exhausted. Worrying and overthinking also wear me out. Matthew 11:28 is, “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.’” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 I used to think this Biblical rest meant taking a nap or chilling in front of the TV. My “rest” had also become excessive scrolling while watching TV. This makes me more tired! I went backRead More →

I was sick a few weeks ago and needed to rest. I used my limited energy to scroll social media and binge on my favorite shows. Once I got in a habit of unlimited screen time, it was hard to stop. Scrolling too much distracts me from doing things I need to get done. Ever since I retired from my day job, I struggle with the temptation to be lazy. Isaiah 26:3 is, “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 I need Jesus the same way I needRead More →

I make mistakes and fall. In the past, I used failures as an excuse to give up. After one meal of overindulgence, I would continue stuffing my body for a few days or even weeks. When I noticed my clothes were tighter, I struggled to get back on track. Psalm 18:33 is, “He has made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.” Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001 The Lord guides me out of messes, even when they are my fault. He shows me that one slip does not define me as a failure. Jesus helps meRead More →
