Sufficient Strength

 Psalm 119:50 - King James Version

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

Ever feel like crying and not sure why? Do you ever burst out laughing for no reason? My answer is yes to both questions.  The tears and the laughter add strength.  The expressions, “A good cry”, “I needed a good laugh”, are evidence of shared life experiences. 

Sufficient strength. Sufficient grace.  God always gives us just what we need. Today the Lord woke me up early. I got up although moving slowly. I completed the morning routine of face washing, etc.  I sat down at my computer. I stared out the window. I said to myself, I’m feeling a little down today. 

The Holy Spirit sat with me. He comforted me.  He gave me the sufficient strength to keep moving. He reminded me that the enemy is trying to stop you. “But God is holding you.” Amazing! Strength sufficient for today. I feel like crying and laughing at the same time right now. 

His grace is sufficient. His strength IS made perfect in weakness. (See 2 Corinthians 12:9) Update: I am shouting inside.  Although, I am still moving slowly this morning, thank God that I can move. My thoughts are trying to wander a little too quickly. But thank God I am in my right mind. 

Sufficient strength my brothers and sisters. The strength of God imparted by the Holy Spirit is ours. Jesus paid the price for an abundant life for us. My prayer today is that we allow the strength of God to rest, rule and abide in our lives. 

God bless!

In Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
