~~~ verse of the day ~~~
2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
~~~ Reflections ~~~
But first Look to God!
Hanging on to anxiety, bitterness, complaining, depression can consume you. These negative emotions that you carry around leaving you lacking energy, energy to bless others, enjoying life. When you carry around your negative emotions, usually someone gets hurt. Dwelling on the negative emotions are from the evil one. If he can keep your mind troubled, you won't make time with the Lord.
Even though you live in the midst of a brutal and perverse culture. Your thoughts and words don't have to go there. The Holy Spirit is your helper. Focus on the Lord, focus on praising the LORD. A simple whisper of the name of Jesus can change your focus.
God wants your light to shine brightly amongst others. Live a cheerful life, without complaining or division among yourselves. Look to God, for His is faithful, He will establish you and guard you from the evil one. For our God is energizing! He can get you out of your funk feelings. You don't have to be discouraged, throughout the day. Going about feeling sluggish, depressed. If only you would Look to God.
He will guide you so that you will desire and do what always pleases Him. For He is the One working in you. "Hashem", the Lord will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to love, to do what pleases him.
~~~ Prayer ~~~
Grant your grace Lord to be seen in all my words, actions, in all friendships, and in all relationships, in everyone who sees me or hears me. Guard my emotions, train my mind to be kind, not grumbling or complaining. Lord guide my thoughts that they are pleasing to you. Remove all things that are discouraging me. Thank you Lord/ In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
