(Biblegateway.com) Bible Verse of the Day
Psalm 118:5-6 (NIV)
5 When
hard pressed, I cried to the Lord;
he
brought me into a spacious place.
6 The Lord is with me; I will not be
afraid.
What can
mere mortals do to me?
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
As I still am
sitting here thinking how a dear friend called me last night to let me know
about the outage in Pakistan and how she tried to send a video but they won’t
let her send it but this is a conspiracy from China and it is going to make its
way around the world and we all need to get our cash out of the bank and ready
for a black out. All I could say was
okay; I will be right over to get some cash.
I get it and be it this is just another dear
soul lost to propaganda and / or rhetoric or truth. What can we do when we live day to day but
ready our houses as if you lived in hurricane season 365 days a year?
It is what it is
I am blessed a little more than some but not as many others. I live paycheck to paycheck and its usually
gone before I even get it.
Yes, we need to learn
how to grow our own food, can our own food ready as if we were bunkered down
for a long winter or storm and just remain logical and not get caught up in the
rush that so many are chasing.
It is what it
is. Yes, it is true in any situations because
everything has went digital if there is a black out for any length of time
anywhere. It is true you will not have
access to any funds, and we all know money talks in this world we live.
To get any goods
if you are not creating and growing your own.
You must buy from somewhere.
On the flip side
to this coin. We need to live life like driving a car. With full awareness and not so much defensively
but with common sense and logic. But
even more so stop the conspiracy and live with love and reflect that.
So, as I am
working through my day getting a moment to take a break and dive into some
motivational moments. I am reminded
there is nothing we should be doing but putting our faith in the one that is
truth, in control and already won the wars before we ever were in existence.
So, what if?
Its true, what if
its not?
Either way what do
we do and why do we do it and how does it impact your planned future?
Do you treat
yourself with respect or do you leave it up to all you are connected to make
you who you are on any given day?
If the world right
now turned into the apocalypse and the only ones left on the earth were your
sons, daughters, nieces and nephews, the children of our future.
What have you
done as a parent, aunt, uncle, or friend to contribute to their success of
survival?
Crazy to think about,
right? But what legacy have you taught
them, what persona have you built the framework to by just every day up until
now?
And there are no guarantees.
People for decades
have come from nothing and become tremendous assets to the future of unknown
mankind.
Just as there
have been many that have come from much, money, prestige, power and ended up on
skid row or excuse my view and words but low lives with no motivation but to
hurt, harm and take from anyone they can.
Many that came
from broken homes surrounded by violence, drugs and so many Ungodly things have
become great leaders and saints to the gospel.
Many who
proclaimed Jesus would always be first have fallen hard getting caught up in
the world of endless promises and self-destruction trying to make it happen.
There is no doubt
I am leaning on Jesus. I am nothing
without him! All that was is no more,
all that will be is in the hands of the creator and yes, my own self-motivation. Am I motivated to be my best self, care
for myself or fall into the trap and believe someone else is going to bring my happiness?
Looking back at a
mini photo album I found cleaning my office space today. Noting 12 years ago I was in awesome shape,
long brown hair and yes according to many I was connected was hot. LOL!
Life happens as I
have been given a new day to get back up and do my best since then. I have had life changing events, two major
surgeries and one putting an old injury back together.
Not to mention all the in between. Not to mention that was just the physical;
then comes the emotional when you get twisted up with or for someone.
As a parent not
only for my children, but those that I have become like a parent, those that were
friends, and so on!
What about those
who lost their way and were taken from this world. Teens, adults it does not matter even at 3
weeks old can we count the cost of what this world can be like or any given
day.
The conspiracy of
what our future may hold because of terrorists, and just the power
struggle. Or even that of every known and
unknown hacker, troll, or impersonator; wanna be just to play on people and they
too just doing what they do for whatever they can get. And when you find those you know or held
great respect for were tied to some of the nonsense.
Well yeah, sometimes it breaks you, sometimes
it makes you so mad you almost become reactive like the rest of the world. Sometimes all you can do is lick your wounds,
cry really hard and pray.
The conspiracies
are everywhere; the world is full of sin even with good and bad people.
But we do not
have to be consumed by it. Even when we
entangle ourselves because we too are human having dreams and desires.
Maybe whatever is
being allowed to pour out of this mind maze today makes sense, maybe it does
not.
I just pray that
no matter what we really know what we are sharing, what we are saying, what we
are getting all worked up over. What we
are holding onto when we cannot prove it really is, much less is truth or good
for us. Or just a wrong choice we need
to correct going forward.
Life is now, not
tomorrow and life everlasting is with Jesus and doing our absolute best in
truth, mercy, grace, and loving people for who they are. Not what anyone does. Although yes, I am the first to say; give
me those who are so stinking talented in the music industry and I am right
there holding them up on some pedestal.
They are just
people too with the blessing and love for the talent they work daily. Prayerfully they are protected and given
mercy and grace to live; and they do not get caught up and sell their
souls.
Prayerfully when
they fall, and everyone does. They realize
with God all things are possible and if he allows us back up, he has purpose
bigger and better than what was.
For now, this day
I am blessed here I am again. With
hopes, dreams, desires, and prayers.
So, as I just
keep trying to feed my spirit and hold onto what I can prove through and with my
God. I will just keep trying to do my
best with what I am allowed to work with.
I will love with all I have. And
love the soul, not what they have done or are doing.
I will pray for
my friends no matter if they are wrong or right in how they are ingesting the
news. I will pray because that is the
only way I know how to pull and gain strength and fight any battle that I
cannot see.

Devotions with Real-Life Stories @Sarah Young)
“Trust me by relinquishing control into My Hands. Let go, and recognize that I am God. This is My world: I made it and I control it. Yours is a responsive part in the litany of Love. I search among My children for receptivity to
Me. Guard well this gift that I have
planted in your heart. Nurture it
with the light of My Prescence.
When you bring Me prayer requests, lay out your concerns
before Me. Speak to Me candidly; pour
out your heart. Then thank Me for the
answers I have set into motion long before you can discern the results. When you requests come to mind again,
continue to thank Me for the answers that are on the way. If you keep on stating your concerns to Me,
you will live in a state of tension.
When you thank Me for how I am answering your prayers, your mind-set
becomes much more positive. Thankful
prayers keep your focus on My presence and My promises.”
Psalm 46:10 AMP
Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am
God. I will be exalted among the
nations! I will be exalted in the earth!
Colossians 4:2
Devote yourselves to prayer, being
watchful and thankful.
2 Peter 1:3-4
His divine power has give us
everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who
called us by his own glory and goodness.
Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so
that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption
in the world caused by evil desires.
