God’s Got This

 “Let not your hearts be troubled.  

You believe in God, believe also in me.”

John 14:1

“God’s got this” is an expression of faith and trust, signifying that God is in control and will provide solutions or guidance, even when faced with difficult situations.  

During times of stress, worry or uncertainty, just remember you don’t have to shoulder the burden yourself, ask God!  “God’s got this”, He is the source of comfort and encouragement, offering hope even when things seem bleak, God will ultimately lead the way.

Take Heart

 “I have told you these things so that you may have 

peace.  In this world you will have trouble.

But take heart!  I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33

“Take Heart” is a powerful message of hope and encouragement, reminding you that even in the midst of trials, you can find strength and peace in God.  It highlights God’s unconditional love and the promise of victory through Christ.”

A Cheerful Heart

 “A cheerful heart is good medicine…”

Proverbs 17:22

“Don’t take yourself so seriously.  Lighten up and laugh with me. You have me on your side, so what are you worried about?  I can equip you to do absolutely anything, as long as it is My will.  The more difficult your day, the more I yearn to help you.  Anxiety wraps you up in yourself, trapping you in your own thoughts.  When you look to Me and whisper My Name, you break free and receive My help.  Focus on Me, and you will find Peace in My Presence.”

Living Water

 “Let anyone who is thirsty, come to me and drink.”

John 7:37

The term “living water” appears several times in the Bible, functioning as a powerful symbol of spiritual nourishment and renewal. This concept embodies a profound aspect of Christian faith, offering a lens through which to comprehend our relationship with God and Jesus Christ. Throughout this post, we will explore the significance of the “living water” scripture.

WHAT IS LIVING WATER?

Living water is a metaphor used in the Bible to depict the spiritual sustenance and salvation that Jesus Christ offers. The phrase draws upon the life-giving properties of water, symbolizing the spiritual refreshment that comes from accepting Jesus Christ and his teachings. In essence, Jesus is the living water, providing the necessary spiritual nourishment for our souls to thrive.

This metaphor comes to life in John 7:38 where Jesus declares: “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them”​​. This verse paints a vivid picture of believers, filled with the Holy Spirit, becoming like streams of living water themselves, sharing the love and grace of Jesus with the world.

Negative Seeds

 “Above everything else, guard your mind.

Everything you do comes from it.”

Proverbs 4:23

We all have voices that are trying to keep us from our destiny. Sometimes it’s people telling us what we can’t become. “You aren’t qualified.” It may be experts telling us, “You’re never going to get well.” You hear about the economy, inflation, viruses, division. This can bring fear and worry. “What’s going to happen?” Words are like seeds. If you dwell on them long enough, they’ll take root and become a reality. The good news is that you get to choose what gets planted in your soil. Don’t let just any seed get in there. If it is discouraging, brings fear, or pushes you down, don’t give it the time of day. Don’t give the doubt from other people or your own negative thoughts permission to become a reality. You have to tune out all the negative, limiting words—“can’t do it,” “not able,” “never going to happen.” You don’t have to receive it. If you don’t dwell on it, those words will die stillborn and have no effect on you. Keep your mind filled with positive, hopeful, faith-filled thoughts. ~ Joel Osteen

Just Smile

“In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust

in his holy name.”

Psalm 33:21

“Rejoicing in the Lord and His goodness naturally leads to smiling, reflecting the inner peace and joy that come free from trusting in Him.”     ~Biblerespository.com

Smile - Song by Eric Clapton

Smile, though your heart is aching.

Smile, even though it's breaking.

Though there are clouds in the sky, You'll get by

If you smile through your fears and sorrows.

Smile and maybe tomorrow.

You'll see the sun come shining through.

If you just light up your face with gladness, Hide every trace of sadness.

Although a tear may be ever, ever so near.

That's the time you must keep on trying.

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find life is still worthwhile

If you'll just smile, come on and smile.

 “Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being,

praise his holy name … and forget

not all his benefits.”

Palms 103:1-2

“David’s praise focused on the good things God was doing for him.  It is easy to complain about life, but David’s list gives us plenty for which to praise God - he forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems us from death, crowns us with love and compassion, satisfies our desires, and gives us righteousness and justice.  We receive all these without deserving any of them.  No matter how difficult your life’s journey, you can always count your blessings - past, present and future.”
