"Turn it Over to God, and Be at Peace!"

06/02/2021

Today is precious and has been given to you as a special gift, it will soon be gone forever.
You cannot bring back yesterday or with any certainty know about tomorrow.
But while today is here, it is yours to use as you choose.
Today hands you the opportunity to speak an encouraging word, to whisper an intercessory prayer;
the opportunity to extend mercy, forgiveness, or goodwill;
the opportunity to think of—and thank God for—the people past and present, who have blessed your life;
Today presents the opportunity to be faithful, brave, strong, and glad.
And before you go to sleep tonight, you have the opportunity to think of God, to thank him for the gift of this day, and to be grateful for his care.
Living in the Past or in the Future causes you to miss the opportunities of the Present - the Right Here and the Right Now.

The Secret of contentment

I have learned the secret of being content.
—Philippians 4:12
“I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances,” Paul wrote (Phil 4:11).

If you cannot say “Me too,” it’s because you haven’t fully subscribed to Paul’s secret. “I have learned the secret,” he said, “of being content in any and every situation” (Phil 4:12).
That secret has nothing to do with possessions, for he said he was content with a lot or a little.

So what’s the secret?
Paul lets us in on it in the next verse: “Christ gives me the strength to face anything” (Phil 4:13). He had learned that with Jesus in his life, every problem was temporary and bearable.

That’s a secret worth knowing because no matter how many things go right, you’ll never find contentment without him. And no matter how many things go wrong, you’ll always find contentment with him.
The world works from the outside to the inside.

Jesus works from the inside out.

You Grow What You Plant

People harvest only what they plant.
—Galatians 6:7
You harvest what you plant. It’s that simple—and that certain.
Some people limp through life feeling mistreated—by a parent, spouse, child, teacher, employer, coworker, or friend.
And maybe they are.
You may have been dealt a sorry hand and have a long and legitimate list of reasons to be miffed.
Still, unless you face, fight, and defeat self-pity, you are doomed to misery, for the seeds of self-pity produce a crop of anger, bitterness, and loneliness.
Eventually, everyone gives up on whiners, because trying to please them dead-ends in failure.
If you plant garlic, don’t expect to grow roses.
You can’t build on self-pity;
only wallow in it.

Just a thought:
“If I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing” (1 Cor 13:2).

"Loving others may not change them,
but it will change you!"
