Living the Dream
Are you living your dreams or living your fears? Living your dreams can be accomplished by remembering who God says you are! Don’t stop pushing forward. Living your fears means you’re keeping you eye on everything that’s going wrong instead of on Jesus. Eye on the prize people!
Under the Blood
We can sweep things under the rug or put them under the blood. Sweeping our problems under the rug is a temporary fix. We think it will be out of sight, out of mind. WRONG! Satan will crawl right under that rug and drag them back to your mind where they become a stronghold. Next time, put them under the blood. Jesus will wash them whiter than snow. He will rescue you from the snare of the enemy and His Word will wash your mind clean! No more tripping over the rug!
Busyness
Nothing can satisfy but Jesus. And yet, we try anything and everything. When I say that, we often think of drugs, alcohol, or materialism. But that’s not what most people fill their lives with…It’s BUSYNESS. If we stay busy, maybe we will be happy and have a wonderful life. Let me make this clear. Nothing can fill that void but Jesus. If you want to be truly happy, find Jesus.
Learn, Live, Hope
LEARN from yesterday…those trials and struggles you went through have value. We may not see it at the time, but God can use them for our good. LIVE for today. Be in the moment loving, laughing, caring, shining, making today the best day of your life…so far! HOPE for tomorrow. Believe that the best is yet to come. Expect the best, forget the rest!
Time is Like Money
Time is like money. We choose how we spend it. We have approximately 1000 waking minutes a day. We have the opportunity to fill them with “positives”….Doing things to help others, praying for the needs we see, loving and laughing with friends and family or drawing closer to Jesus. Too often we are just going through the motions. Getting up, getting ready and getting on the road. From that time on, we’re in a dead run and forget to pay attention to the really important things. And when we finally get home….we drop. Let’s face it, we miss so much. Do you feel like the years are flying by? They are!! Choose how you spend those minutes.
Appear Bright
For some reason, I want to repeat something I wrote years ago. Someone must need it.”Light travels faster than sound. That’s why some people appear bright until you hear them speak”! We have some politicians like that. There is definitely a reason why God tells us to LISTEN much and SPEAK little. And maybe, we should be more serious about taking those words to heart! Remember, better to be thought a fool than to open the mouth and prove it! Words should be handled with great care!
