♡ That is the theme and topic of this week’sTruth Seeking devotional.

♡ It is about making decisions that honor God.

Silence the Fears with Praise

Have you ever been tempted to hold back in praising God just in case or for another reason?

Maybe it’s with thoughts like…

Let me make sure I’m not getting ahead of this… or I don’t want to speak too soon…

I remember growing up and being afraid to allow happiness for fear that it would go away. Wow! What chains to carry.

Still, I share because I pray that I use God’s Word to bring His hope to anyone who may fear that right now. Here is the thing… being happy is a feeling. Happiness is a choice. We can’t always control circumstances but we decide how we react and what we focus on. Fear can try to have such a hold on us BUT that is not the way the Lord wants us to live.

“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” (‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

God has more for us! So much MORE!

♡ And that is the theme and topic of this week’sTruth Seeking devotional.

♡ It is all about fixing our FOCUS and fighting away the fears with praise!

GOD BREAKS CHAINS, NOT PROMISES

When we feel unpeaceful

and unrest,

let’s remember: testimonies come

from the test.

GOD BREAKS CHAINS, NOT PROMISES. He promises peace, a peace He gives to us that is not like the world.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

♡ That is the theme and topic of this week’s Truth Seeking devotional.

♡ It is all about fixing our FOCUS and standing on God’s promises, including His perfect peace.

TO THE PACE OF MY FATHER’S HEART

Maybe my mess is really part of His masterpiece.

This is just a friendly reminder...to myself, and anyone else who may need to hear it, that it’s okay to lay aside the mess... TO REST. There will always be more to do and more “messes” to clean up, but still God’s Word calls us to rest. It calls us to trust.

♡ That is the theme and topic of this week’s Truth Seeking devotional. It discusses how to make rest, a lifestyle. It shares a moment as mom as well as a lesson from the Bible from Exodus about availability and obedience.

For I continue to learn, God can do so much more with 6 days, than we alone can do with 7. And that every single moment has a choice: to hurry and worry, or TO REST and trust in God. ♡
