Everything in life is a reward or a test! Keep pushing!The desire for increase and multiplication is a characteristic of God.The entire earth is motivated by reward! God planned it. It is unnaturalto pursue decrease. It is normal to pursue increase. Stay focused! Life always provides you a test to qualify you for the rewards. (Remember!)You will experience a double portion of influence and provision as you over come your present testing!
Enjoy your good... Some people believe that by enjoyingless, they will have more... Saving and budgeting is good to a certaindegree. (BUT) I've watched some elderly couples save their "good china"and never sat on their "good couch".. and then they passed on and neverused it! Enjoy your good now!!! (On the other hand) Some people believethat by giving up or not having good, that this self-denial will helpother people.... This is also a fallacy... The more you use and themore you enjoy your good, the more good you will create for you to useand enjoy. (Remember!) Being poor does not help the poor! Here's the lawof attraction! Stingy living and stingy thinking brings stingycircumstances... (Remember this!) God's Abundance is infinite!
God is Love
God has given us the capacity for thorough, painstaking
work! (But!!!) You must give yourself credit for the work you are doing,
and know that your patient, constant efforts are building something
worthwhile. Always stop, be thankful and smell the roses... We, as humans,
sometimes have a tendency towards fanatic workaholism and extremism.
When you're a hard worker.... (WE MUST) view whatever loses,
disappointments, or endings, that occur, in our lives, as necessary, even if
they are painful in the immediate instance. ALL IS GOOD!
Do you desire to be happy? (Remember this) The proof of desire is pursuit. You must go to happy places.. Pursue happy people..Create happy days... If you really desire happiness in your life, you must be willing to reach for it! Never blame anyone or anything for your unhappiness. Life rewards reachers. I have always said, "Happiness is never placed within your life, happiness is simply placed within your reach!".
Now go out there and have a happy day! :) :)
VERSE:
I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. -- Psalm 108:3
THOUGHT:
Songs go where evangelism, witnessing, and planned outreachsometimes cannot go. Songs tell a story, offer praise, and delivertruth in a package that opens the heart and stirs the emotions.Songs give life to the soul and stir something primal, buried deepinside by God. When you are around friends you are trying to reachwith the Gospel, listen for the kind of music they like. Then whenthe time is right, point them to songs that share the message ofthe Gospel with a melody and beat that can stir their hearts.
Godwants us to praise him, not just in our sanctuaries and churches,but with our friends and across cultures. He wants us to sing inways that help other people know the "heart song" of our Redeemer'slove.
PRAYER:
Almighty God and righteous Father, thank you so much for thegift of song. Thank you for lyricists that capture the mood of ourhearts and the word of your grace and help move others closer tofaith. Please bless all those involved in bringing Christian songsto the public and making your Word more understandable to themasses. Empower singing in your Church, and help us to sing of yoursalvation in ways that reach all peoples on the earth. In Jesus'name I pray. Amen.
A PRAYER FOR A SPIRIT OF SHARINGG
Racious God, you have flooded my life with fullness as vast as a field of wheat stretching to the horizon. Because life comes at me fast, and sometimes with ferocity, it is easy for me to forget the blessings you give with such liberality. Then when I see someone else’s need, I am suddenly aware again of the abundance in my own life. When I have such a moment of recognition, O God, help me realize that I may be the blessing you have brought to that person’s life. Give me courage to respond to them with love. Amen.
