I’m reading the love scriptures today. What is love and how do we know when it is flourishing in our lives?
Here’s the scripture I woke up with this morning. Enjoy! The emphasis is on JOY! I am joyful when I paint!
“Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10 (NIV).
Many of us are worried about our finances and job security. Stop it! Let’s pray and praise rather than fret about the unknown. We can trust Jesus to have our backs. He is faithful to those who walk with Him.
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.” Matthew 6: 25-28 (NIV).
