Joshua 1: 8-9

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

I didn't need to look further in the Word. All I have to do is meditate on these scriptures today!

Proverbs 16: 7

When a man's ways please the LORD,
He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.


That is very encouraging for me today. In this world of conflicts, I'm glad we serve a God who provides ways for us, more than what we could think or imagine!
Isn't it awesome that when we couldn't stop a person from saying all kinds of evil lies about us or our business, the Bible says God makes our enemies be at peace with us? Hallelujah!
Now all I have to do is make my ways please Him! Off I go!

yesterday's manna

Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. (Proverbs 9:9)
Isn't that good?

I was never a morning person

Now, my favorite time of the day is early morning, when the kids are still snoozing, which means I have some quiet time that I can spend with the Lord, and for a few minutes, with my dear hubby, before he goes off to work.
Sitting in my favorite spot in the couch, I curled in and started reading my favorite devotional, Sparkling Gems from the Greek . I noticed how dark the sky looked and how the sun is nowhere to be found. I got reminded of how God's love is. He sees beyond that cloudiness that can sometime separate us from Him. We look up and not see Him.. but really, He's there- with a clear view of us. All we have to do is look beyond the clouds, and we'll know that He's there. He never changes. He's the same yesterday, today and forevermore. Aren't you glad?

Enjoy His goodness today!
