In one of the worst times in my life, this verse and song got me through that difficult time.
I made a decision to find something to rejoice about, even if it was as small as being able to get out of bed and brush my hair or seeing a butterfly land on a flower.
God gave me things to be thankful for and He brought joy back into my life, one day at a time.
Today, as I look out my window and watch the sun rise, I rejoice in the day the Lord has made.
Join me in rejoicing
Be not dismayed whate’er betide
God will take care of you
Beneath His wings of love abide
God will take care of you
God will take care of you
Through every day, o’er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you
No matter what may be the test
God will take care of you
Lean, weary one, upon His breast
God will take care of you
God will take care of you
Through every day, o’er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you
He will take care of you
God will take care of you
This is an old hymn that’s words are true. God does take care of his children and he will take care of you if you have accepted Jesus as your savior. 
This is a wonderful Bible verse for all who are in the work of the LORD!
Sometimes you may get tired. Things don’t seem to make a difference. God tells us in His Word, do not be weary, keep going. What you do for the LORD is not useless.
God has given us a job to do. It may be what seems to be small or He may have given you a tremendous responsibility. Whatever it is it is important. Whatever you do, do it to honor God.
God has created many animals and sea creatures that we may never see in person. One of the unusual creatures is the mimic octopus. This octopus can change shape and color to appear to be an entirely different species.
“Mimic octopuses have been observed mimicking numerous different species of animals, some animals being mimicked more often than others. Among the animals mimicked are lionfish (the octopus holds its arms out radially to mimic the fish’s spines), sea snake (hiding 6 of its arms, it holds the remaining 2 parallel to each other),[9]jellyfish(by inflating its mantle and trailing its arms behind it), and zebra sole (holding all 8 arms behind it as it uses its siphon to swim). The octopus’ mimicry of flatfish may be its preferred guise; a 2008 study showed that over a period of 5 days, nearly 500 instances of flatfish mimicry were seen by a single individual.”
It reminds me of some people who mimic being a Christian. They go to church regularly, act spiritual, they may sing in church and even become church leaders. But, they have never truly accepted Jesus as their Savior.
If you are a mimic Christian, you can make a permanent change. Ask Jesus to be your Savior today.
2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Think about all the wonderful things God has done for you.
When things are not going like we want, we tend to complain and get discouraged. That is the time to stop and remember how good God has been to you in the past. He promises to be with you and bring you through the rough times.
Keep serving the LORD and trust Him with the good things He is going to do for you.
The first Monday of the year. Now the Holidays are really over and reality sets in.
Perhaps you will be going work or school. Moms are getting children ready to get out the door. Spouses are leaving for their busy day.
Maybe a a retired person you are not looking forward to another week of loneliness and boredom.
Whatever your life is like this Monday, there is one thing that will get you through any situation. That is found in the Bible verse. Seek the LORD for His strength. Jesus is with you and will help you through every day in 2025 if you will look to Him for guidance.
Pastors are under attack today in every denomination. They are attacked from within their own church by disgruntled attendees and from without by those who don’t even attend or aren’t members of the church.
Some things you may not know about Pastors. Every Pastor has some of these problems.
Pray for your Pastor and do something to show your appreciation for him. Write a note, email or text him if you are fortunate enough to have his personal number.
Intimacy with God requires a repentant heart. In His love, God says when we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to cleanse us. That cleansing restores our fellowship with Him.
God hates sin because He is Holy and Righteous. Sin is anything we have done that God has commanded us not to do.
All have sinned and come short. You can watch a small child only months old and already they are sinners. Selfishness and disobedience. They will be playing and grab a toy from another child, hit or bite.
Jesus paid the penalty for all our sins if we by faith ask His forgiveness, repent of our sin and put our trust in Him
Do you know for sure you will live forever with Jesus?
If not, right now invite Jesus to be your Savior.
How? Admit to Him you are a sinner.
Believe He died on the cross for you. He was buried and He rose from the dead. He paid the penalty for your sin on the cross.
Then, pray and ask Jesus to forgive your sin, come into your heart and be your Savior.
Start reading the Bible, it’s best to start in the New Testament.
Find a good church and start the New Year by attending faithfully.
Sound simple. It is. Jesus is waiting for you.
Christmas is over, time to take down the beautiful decorations and keeping in our hearts the memories of Christmas 2024
It always makes me sad to put away those wonderful things that make Christmas special every year. As we put away the lights, tree, nativity sets, let us NOT put away the truth of Christmas, Jesus was born into this world to be our Savior, and it is our responsibility to tell others. So let us make a resolution to be better witnesses in 2025 and Serve Our Savior with more zeal than we ever had before.
Witnessing is a responsibility for every Christian. Tell someone about our wonderful Savior. In person is best. But, we can make phone calls, write notes and use social media to be a witness for the Lord. Be creative.
Think of someone today who needs the Lord and pray for him or her, and then contact them. People need the Lord now more than ever.
Acts 26:22-23 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
