Not One Minute

Love you all, praying for you,
 
I just love God’s Word.  He said, don’t worry about tomorrow, He’ll be there… He goes before you. God said even in death the righteous have a refuge.  So go ahead and say this… “I’m not going to let the enemy steal my joy that God has for me today - by wasting one minute worrying about tomorrow.  I’m going to rejoice in the blessing God has given me today, and the promise He has given me for tomorrow.” He is in control, He will never leave you and never forsake you.  He is the fourth one in the fire, He is the one who ​Saves, Delivers, Rescues, Fills, and Restores.  He’s the One who forgives, who Protects, and Provides, and Blesses and Fulfills.  Get busy right now with what He told you to do.  Love and serve, work diligently as for the LORD, not for men.  He is the one who rewards you – and it’s eternal not just temporal.  Someone said the biggest thing to fear is fear itself.  I get it, but that’s still fear.  God said perfect love casts out fear. He is perfect love, so He casts out fear.  And when it comes to you perfect means complete, and to love God is to obey.  So perfect love, is complete obedience.  You don’t even need to fear, fear.  Just obey, whatever God told you to do today, in this hour.  Do it completely, with joy!  There’s a joy that comes with diligence.  You do your part, He will surely do His.  God said Fear Not, for I AM with you.  Do not fret, it only leads to evil.  In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.  Rejoice in the LORD always and again I say rejoice!  LORD means sovereign, in authority.  When He’s the LORD of you, you are walking in what He said to do.  And there’s always joy in obedience, and there’s always a return.  You’re not fearing God for nothing.  Let Him be the LORD of you, and you can rejoice!  I will bless the LORD at all times, His praise will continually be in my mouth.  Praying that you won’t waste one minute worrying.  That nothing will steal your joy today, not a setback, not anything someone else might say… They don’t define even your day or situation, much less define you.  You are known and loved by God. Powered and empowered by Him.  Think about that!  He knows you completely, even your deepest thoughts, the good, the bad and the ugly, and He still loves you!  Eternally!  Ask Him to lead you, take the first step.  Love Him with all your heart, but running to Him first, spending time with Him before anything else, and doing immediately, completely and joyfully everything he told you to do.  And if you don’t know --  go serve somebody.  Get outside of yourself to help somebody else.  Read His Word so you think like He does.  Do what He told you today so your joy will be full.  If you’re unsure, just ask Him, and step out in faith.  Obedience always brings joy, and it always brings you to a better place.  The next good thing He has for you! 
 
Love you all,
