Psalms 27:14
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart.
Wait, I say, on the Lord.


.~~~Reflections~~~
How would you ever handle it if you lost everything you had today?
What would your next step be?
How long would you be depressed and upset and angry?

When you are a Resilient individual you are better able to handle such adversity and rebuild your life after a catastrophe, with a much more confidence, faith and endurance.  Having the ability to Wait on the Lord with expectation that He has everything under control. Can change your outlook to hope and faith in the face of adversity from illness, depression or difficulties and misfortune.

It is something you need to start your day with, everyday. challenges or not.
Having Faith, gives you strength to cope with stress and hardships. Having the Faith and Trust that the Lord will bring you through every situation and will give you strength.

Do not despair when you feel discouraged. It is  how you choose to deal with these difficult situations, that is the key.  Dwelling on Thoughts of your current situations  beings despair. By focusing with the mindset that God will help you through it. Waiting In anticipation of what the Lord has on the other side for you.
You will receive an abundance of Joy, by putting into practice.
The joy of watching when Gods plan is put in place, brings healing.

You can choose now to change your mindset. Being Christ like minded, doesn't just happen. How  the time to seek the Lord. Your relationship with the Lord, will be your strength in every situation. Anxiety, depression and stress will flee.  So wait with great expectations for the Lord to bring you through. Be resilient!

Prayer
Lord God, we ask the you would encourage us to wait on you Lord. With expectation knowing that you have something bigger and better in our future.  You have created the heavens and the earth, so how much more should we place our trust in you. Thank You Lord, for building our faith, endurance and changing our mindset. We trust you GOD, and we Believe, Have Faith that you are in control.

Be the Light of the World

1 John 6-8

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light.
we have fellowship with one another that is pleasing to the Lord
~~~Reflections~~~
God desires the light of Christ to shine through us.
To be an example of Christ. To be the reflection of  His light.
We have to learn how to be the reflecion of His Light.
This means putting off ones own selfish worldly ideals.
Leaving all things aside, that cause us or others to loose sight of the Lord. All distractions.
If Christ light shines through his people, we being His people. Should we not shine be shining brightly?  Being pleasing in the sight of the Lord.



Phillipians 2:13
for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Ephesians 5:8
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

Distractions come in many forms. Arguing, Complaining, Conciet,
Disputing, Dominating, Selfishness.
These are forms of darkness.
How can the light shine through us
hen we are blocking the light?
Instead keep focused on the things of the Lord.
By follwing the Lords example, we shall shine as lights in the world.
This is the only true purpose we are were created, to bring Glory to the Lord.
To allow God to work through us.
Strongly hold on to the word of life, so you may share the light with others.
John 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world.
He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
.

Paul pretty much sums it up very well In this verse.

Phillipians 2:1-4
Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love,
if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,
fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit,
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Prayer
May God illuminate and apply His word, the truth
in our hearts. May we receive the understanding we need in these days.
In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.
