Good Morning! This Is The Day The Lord Has Made!!


Good morning!!! This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it! Our Lord is awesome! He is always taking care of me. Jesus is always protecting me and my family. He is making a way when there seems to be no way. He has everything under control. Our lives are in His hands. I can trust Him in everything. I will leave my problems in His hands because I know He cares for me and I understand that He can do a better job resolving them than I can. I will trust Him even if things don’t go the way I planned. I will follow the leading of the Holy Spirit today. I will not let my flesh control me. I will control my tongue and speak only words of edification today through the power of the Holy Spirit. I will take the focus off of me and bless someone else today. I will let me light shine and be a living testimony so that all who see me will know that I am His. Others will see me and want to know what has given me joy, peace, and hope. I will respond Jesus the Lover of my Soul.

Our attitude when we wake up in the morning is our choice. We can determine to wake up and acknowledge that this is the day that the Lord has made and make a choice to rejoice and be glad in it. Or we can wake up with a heavy, negative, “what I am going to do?”, “woe is me” attitude. Having a bad attitude is only making your day harder. Whatever you’re going through leave it in God’s hands. Trust me He is working it all out for your good, better than you can. Stop worrying! Stop meditating on the offenses that others have caused you! Stop being negative, angry, and spiteful! Stop trying to take the focus off of yourself by always talking about people! You are hurting yourself and those around you.

Decide while you are still in bed when you have just opened your eyes, that you will be grateful for another day. While you are still lying there think of everything that you can praise God for and than begin to thank Him for it. Make a decision to leave all your problems in His hands because he can handle them better than we can. Rather than meditating on any trials that you are facing determine to do something nice for someone else. You may even have to sacrifice something like time or money but the Lord will honor your sacrifice and the person you are helping will feel blessed and give glory to God for you.

Pray for those people that you will have to deal with today that may be difficult or insensitive. Ask God to give you wisdom, patience, self control, and an extra portion of love to deal with them. It helps to try to think of what they may be going through in their own lives that may be causing them be so thorny with others.

No matter what determine that you will not let anything steal your joy! This IS the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! In Jesus name!! Amen..

What a Glorious day. Waking up each day is new opportunity for the us as Christians to glorify our Father, to thank him for all that i have and all that I am working toward. I am confident in the Word and i know that Gods plan is righteous. For me, I couldnt imagine waking up upset, or dreading the day. Knowing that i have the almighty Father to confide in for strength, understanding, patience and power is all i need to make it through another great day. I put my faith in God and trust him to provide all i need. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.(proverbs 3:4-6)

What an awesome Word. God is so wonderful and understanding. To know that he is always their for is, to guide us, to care for us, to provide for us. We tend to take advantage of so many little things in life and focus on things that we should really not be focusing on. We have Life to day, we are breathing. Today is a glorious day...

Thank you for your Words of Encouragement

My God is Faithful!

My God is Faithful!
Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.He lifted me out of the slimy pit,out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
