We all have heard that saying I’m sure one time or another that says to pull up them boot straps..and isn’t that the truth…we all from time to time in our lives..have to get sick and tired of being sick and tired..and we have to get down there and pull up our boot straps so to speak…we have to encourage ourselves from time to time..1 Samuel 30:6…we have to think about the goodness of the Lord..we have to remind ourselves just whom it is that we serve..we have to get up and go by faith and not by sight..2 Corinthians 5:7..calling them things that be not as though they were..Romans 4:17…we have to renew our minds..Romans 12:2..we have to be sober and vigilant..for the bible says that the adversary as of a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may desire..1 Peter 5:8..so we have to be prepared for battle..and we have to stand on the word of God..for Gods word is alive and sharper than any two edged sword..Hebrews 4:12..Gods word goes forth to accomplish what it was sent forth to accomplish..Isaiah 55:11..we have to refuse to let this ole world and the things of this world distract us and get us to lose our joy and our happiness..for we know all to well that the joy of the Lord is our strength..Nehemiah 8:10..so we get up and we shake off what happened yesterday..and we move on and enjoy this day..for God knows where we are in life..and He knows everything that we have need of before we even ask of Him the word says He knows..Matthew 6:8..so as long as God knows then we should know that everything is going to be okay..for it always is..but we have to remind ourselves of all that the Lord has done for us..and how many times the Lord has always been right on time for us..we serve a very faithful God..and God meets us where we are..we are growing..so once again we are not to allow the situations or the circumstances that were in to change us from who we are in the Lord..we remain stable..because we are building our lives upon the Lord..so were not shaken up or disturbed by what’s happening..for we know that God holds us and that Gods keeps us..so we rest and we do remain calm…knowing that we are children of the most high God..so we are well..and we will always be well….resting in the palm of our Lords hands..Isaiah 49:16..so be still our hearts and let us trust in Jesus..In His name, Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
