Good morning beloved, happy Tuesday,

“But he said to her, ‘You speak as one of the foolish women speaks, shall we accept good from God and shall not accept adversity? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.”

(Job 2:10).

If anyone could say, “here we go again,” It was Job. He had one trial after another, but his faith and hope in the Lord carried through. He is known as a man of patience and perseverance.

The expression, “here we go again,” means a repeated occurrences , usually negative. We feel like saying not again, Lord.”

This is what I am going through right now with my health issues.I keep trusting the Lord one day at a time. Have a blessed day no matter what comes our way.

God knows and cares.

Good morning beloved, happy Monday,

“This Book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

(Joshua 1:8).

The key to victory, success, prosperity is obedience to the Word of God. We must read it, understand it, and apply to our lives.

Study of the Word of God and meditation in it, is paramount to our growth in Christ. It strengthens and encourages us on our journey day by God. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 in answer to the devil’s first temptation to turn stones into bread, “…Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

The Word of God illuminates our path, inspires our walk, and invigorates our spirit. Paul wrote to Timothy, “Meditate on these things; give yourself fully to them, that your progress may appear to all.”

As the Christian song says, “God said it, and I believe it, and that settles it for me.” Have a blessed day in the Word of God. Stay safe and healthy.

May we have good success today by obedience to God’s Word.

Good morning beloved, happy Lord’s Day,

“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ.”

(Philippians 1:6).

The Lord is a master sculptor, we are His masterpiece. The finished product will be conformed to His image when we see Him face to Steph

Savior face to face. The hymn Carrie Ellis Breck wrote, “Face to face -oh blissful moment! Face to see and know; Face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ who loves so.”

The wants to use us for His glory. We must be humble, surrendered, and willing. He will chip away at those things that hinder us.

It is a long process, it fact, it takes a whole lifetime. Ephesians 2:10 says, “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.“ God’s plans begun in eternity past. Someone said, “First of all God! God began the good work. It isn’t our toiling to achieve anything worthy, it is God.”

Have a blessed Lord’s Day. Stay safe and healthy.

God began with a lump of clay, and molds us faithfully everyday.

Good morning beloved, happy Saturday,

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.”

(Psalm 28;7).

I am so thankful that I don’t have to rely on my own strength; in fact, if I do, it is to my detriment. We lack strength and we need the Lord’s mighty power spiritually, mentally, and physically, yes in everything .

Lately my physical strength has been very low. I can’t do what I used to do. It humbles me that I need the Lord’s help and the help of friends. even in small I things.

I had three falls and was taken to the Emergency Room three times. The doctors have tried to adjust my medications so that my blood pressure won’t go too low, and that I will gain back my strength. I am resting and recovering at home.

Not only is the Lord my strength, He is my song, my shield, and my salvation. Psalm 118:14 says, “The Lord is my strength and my song, and has become my salvation.”

Let us all put our trust, confidence, hope in the Lord completely. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

When my strength fails, only God’s as strength prevails.

Good morning beloved, happy Friday,

“As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.”

(Psalm 17:15).

David had a close personal relationship with the Lord. God was with Him in all things. He lived away from home for so long as Saul pursued him. He trusted Lord for deliverance and the Lord delivered him.

As David awoke, he sought the Lord’s face. He found his true satisfaction in the Lord. Each day that the Lord gives us is a blessing. We spend time with the Lord and thank Him for another day.

Our desire is to be like Christ. Have a blessed day and night. Stay safe and healthy.

God gives us one day at a time.
