Beyond Our Feelings

 

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." ~ James 1:2-3

What a statement! 

Count it all joy when you fall into trials? What type of other worldly, counter cultural thinking is that? The world teaches us to act based on our feelings. But this scripture shows that God challenges us to think and act beyond our feelings and abide in truth.

No matter what you're going through, there's a reason to be grateful and to even find joy. For even when it doesn't look like it on the outside, God is doing a mighty work on the inside. Man looks at the outward appearance but God sees the heart. It's where he does his best work.

God bless,

God's Delight

 

"For the Lord takes delight in his people; He crowns the humble with victory." ~ Psalm 149:4

For all the busy workaholics out there (me being one of them)... Life is hard. But life should also be delightful. Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light (see Matthew 11:30). 

Yes, we should work and be serious. But there's also a time to just delight. 

God delights in His people. But far too often, I think His people fail to delight in Him.

Wishing you a delightful day!

God bless,

J.W.

The Exchange

 

Trust is the currency we exchange for joy and peace. 

If you want more joy and peace, place your trust in God. 

He's generous to give to us until we overflow. 

May God bless your day fam!

Easy Like Sunday Morning

“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” ~ Matthew 11:29-30

Recently, I’ve discovered the joy and peace that comes from resting in God, from basking in His presence, from spending time with Him. There’s absolutely nothing in the world like it, to know that you are protected and loved by a Heavenly Father that has all power in His hands.

Some may think I’m crazy.

Others may think I’m naïve.

But until you experience for yourself, you’ll never understand.

Today, give all your worries and cares over to God and watch Him work.

He is the Great I Am. He will supply all of your need (Philippians 4:19).

God bless,
J.W.
