Sometimes, my anxious thoughts are like barriers to that quiet place deep down in my soul, where time with Jesus opens my eyes to the golden and glorious things around me. Sometimes, I am too distracted to see what is right before my eyes.
We are living in interesting times. During times like these, I sometimes wonder what God feels. Is He hurting? Is He angry? Is He smiling? Maybe, just maybe, all of the above? One thing I do know: He is in control!
It's been a few of those darker days lately. No amount of reading the Word, praying, and journaling helped. So I gave up and instead, started praising His name. And His goodness overwhelmed me!
On those desperate days, when anxiety overtakes, when I can barely get out of bed, I need to remember one thing: Jesus. It won't lift that heavy blanket, but it will give me perspective.
We are sons and daughters of the King, we are of noble birth. This noble birth is directly linked with a lifestyle of generosity. Let's think about that!
Even though David was anointed to be king, he first served as a shepherd, his family, and at king Saul's court. Before he was a hero, he first served. Maybe, this is the more heroic deed of his life?
Do you know that feeling? When you have a house full of people, all of them hungry and thirsty, waiting for you to serve them? It’s a lot of work, and a lot of stress.
