JOY 2.0

Beloved–

Listen as Wisdom calls out!  Hear as understanding raises her voice!  “I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment.  I know where to discover knowledge and discernment … “And so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful … (from Proverbs)

I know I’m guided in my choices by the Holy Spirit through the grace of God and his willing sacrifice of his only son on the cross of Calvary, so I could come into his holy presence, and trust in his Holy Word.  So I choose to be joy full!

I pray for you everyday.  If you make what you think is the wisest choice prayerfully, even if looks the like the most difficult, the Lord will (some day) will show you that it was part of his plan … so now choose to be happy!

Luv Ya!

JOY!

Beloved–

… Store my commands in your heart.  If you do this, you will live many years,  and your life will be satisfying … Seek his will in all you do,  and he will show you which path to take … Then you will have healing for your body    and strength for your bones.  (from Proverbs)

My life does not always make me happy but I always have joy.

I am praying for you and praising the Lord I can.

Luv Ya!

IWOW — Yeah!

Beloved–

I will praise the Lord at all times.  I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart … I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. (from Psalm)

ALL my fears even those fears that I didn’t know I had..  It’s Wednesday on Wednesday — Yeah!

Luv Ya!

IWOM!

Beloved–

I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! (from Psalms)

God knows what he is doing and just because I can’t always understand doesn’t make it not true..

Luv Ya!

Wait!

Beloved–

The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid?  The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?  Wait patiently for the Lord.  Be brave and courageous.  Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. (from Psalms)

I pray for you every day to know that you can cast all your cares and concerns on God, your burden bearer. He will take care of everything, you don’t have to do anything, but wait.  Praising the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

IWOT !

Beloved–

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism … For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. (from Romans)

When I came up out of the waters of baptism I was elated with the joy of knowing that I would never be alone again.  I forgot the dead part; I was a new creature but my sin nature was dead and buried and without power.

I pray for you daily to remember that your sin nature is dead to you and you are alive to and belong to the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

I’ve got joy, joy down in my heart …

Beloved–

“Listen to me, O family of Jacob, Israel my chosen one!  I alone am God,    the First and the Last  …  We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.    (from Isaiah and Proverbs)

God knows the beginning and the end of every situation — and determines my path. My life appears to be upside down and six ways to Sunday and yet my heart is at peace and full of joy.

I pray for you daily to KNOW God’s care for you and praising the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

IWOT!

Beloved–

… now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. (from the Word)

I pray for you every day to understand that “right standing with God” give us, through the work of the Holy Spirit in us, the “delight” to step into the path that God has placed before us.  Knowing that his plan for each of us is perfect, so that we can have joy in the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

NO MATTER WHAT!

Beloved–

I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;  I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.  I will be filled with joy because of you.  I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.

I will praise the Lord at all times.  I will constantly speak his praises.  I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart.

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.  (from Psalms)

I pray for you daily to praise the Lord NO MATTER WHAT is happening in your life; that you can KNOW his joy in and for you.  He is your best caregiver because he knows the beginning from the end, and he has a plan just for your life that is pure perfection!  So now you can praise and worship the God who is … Father, Son and  the Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Is that what the world sees?

Beloved–

In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry.   May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.  May he send you help from his sanctuary    and strengthen you from Jerusalem.  May he remember all your gifts    and look favorably on your burnt offerings. May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed.  May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory    and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.  May the Lord answer all your prayers.  Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king.  He will answer him from his holy heaven    and rescue him by his great power.  Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.  Those nations will fall down and collapse,    but we will rise up and stand firm.  (from Psalms)

I saw man, woman and child riding on a motorcycle.  I almost miss seeing the child because she was completely surrounded by her mom and dad.  Her arms were around her father’s waist but her mother’s arms were on top of her arms. That’s the way we are with God, completely protected and can only hear and feel the sound and fury of the devilish traffic?

I pray for you everyday to concentrate on where God is stepping so you can step in his footprints and ignore the traffic.  Praising the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!
