Happy Sunday!
“So, my dear brothers and sisters, BE STRONG and immovable. Always WORK enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever USELESS.”(1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT).Don't miss this! God knows what you've done for the Kingdom, and others! He doesn't miss anything! He's a Giver and as the old song said, "You can't beat God giving, no matter how you try!"
What are you expecting? Psalm 62:5 says, "My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my Expectation is from him."(KJV). The psalmist acknowledged that his expectation was from God. Well then, what is God's expectation for you? Jeremiah 29:11 gives us an idea, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an Expected end."(KJV). God wants the best for you, and you should want the same.
1 Peter 5:7 says, "You can throw the whole weight of your anxieties upon him, for you are his personal concern."(Phillips). Isn't that a beautiful translation and reminder? You are HIS personal concern. He's thinking about you right now, and he's got plans to take good care of you. He's constant like the seasons, and he's faithful to His Word! The Apostle Paul gave us the key, "Don’t worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have."(Easy-to-Read Version).
Love and prayers, Cynthia
