Its all in a Psalm today~

Psalm 37
3 Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
5 Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. 6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
7 Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
8 Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm.

It is hard sometimes when we are seeking the Lord for direction and answers. If you are not getting answers and direction after some time passes - why? As a follower of Jesus, it is our prayers that God speaks to us... It is the people God places in our lives that God speaks to us... It is that feeling you get in your heart and soul that you should do something or help someone that God speaks to us. If you are not hearing from God then maybe you are not seeking Him hard enough, long enough or in the right ways. Maybe you are not waiting long enough and asking God where are you ... I want an answer! Are there some things in your life right now that you lost the love and passion for? Do you seem to not love doing those things because it has become just routine or a drag to do or maybe you are not receiving something?
Hey relationships and people are hard - serving others is hard - serving God is hard. But through the sweat and tears and standing strong in what God has placed on you builds character and stamina and all the things that God wants to show you. Doing life with others has always been Gods plan for His children. Honor Him with your life, your love as you reach out to those around you and those in need, and in all the things you do. Maybe you have lost the passion and the love because you just need a small adjustment. Attitude - a little more rest- a change of pace - a little encouragement - some down time - dropping some things so you can focus on the bigger thanks or just some time alone with God.
Ask yourself - are you really seeking God for direction and answers? What is your face revealing to others today?

I took Carol to see FireProof last night. It was a great movie with a great message. 2 people opposite sides of their marriage and God is put in the center... a little patience and some time alone with God putting our trust in him even though it seems hopeless and pointless. Marriage restored, husband and wife restored - family restored. Good movie..... How did everyone know Carol and I had a date night? too funny........

This Psalm is on my heart today. Not sure why but between not sleeping well and cold medicine - someone might need it today. Press on loved ones....
Peace,
