We can control how we go through the storms in our lives. We can let the storms be a slight rain drizzle, or we can let them turn into a tsunami.

What is the forecast in your next storm? The choice is yours.

Psalm 27:1 (KJV) – the Lord is my light and salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Is it worth it to stand by someone other than yourself? Fight for someone other than yourself? Actually, carry someone else’s burdens?

Absolutely! You will receive your reward, in due time.

Galatians 6:2, 9 (KJV) – bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Everyone is not meant to like you. Nor is everyone you meet, meant to move forward with you, in your life. Some are simply there, to make you totally uncomfortable, to push you forward.

Accept the push.

II Corinthians 12:7 (KJV) – and lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

What or who is the first thought on your mind when you wake up?

Are you worried about the issues of the world? Or is your mind focused on God, ready to let Him carry everything for you, surrendering to Him, thanking Him, glorifying and praising Him?

It is God’s will for us to be glad in the days He has made.

Wake up and rejoice! Be glad!

I Peter 5:7 (KJV) – casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Psalm 118:24 (KJV) – this is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

No one can steal your joy from you. It is you who have allowed to give it up.

Don’t give up your joy!

John 16:22 (KJV) – and ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

Why do we try to mix things, that are not meant to happen?

We do wrong, and ask God to bless our wrong doing.

Your sins separate you from God. Stop trying to mix those things that are not meant to never work together.

Isaiah 59:2 (KJV) – but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

If you have an opportunity to do good for someone, don’t hesitate, do it.

It is God’s will for us to do good to everyone.

Galatians 6:10 (KJV) – as we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

We concern ourselves with how we are going to receive what we ask God for.

Have faith. Stop trusting in the how, but in the promises of God.

Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) – trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Why do so many feel the need to make others suffer for the wrong they have done? And whatever tactic used to make them pay, it’s still not enough.

We reap what we sow. So, don’t be surprised when it’s your turn to pay.

Forgive, if you want to be forgiven.

Galatians 6:7 (KJV) – be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Matthew 18:35 (KJV) – so shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

If God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, than why do we get upset when things don’t go our way?

It’s to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Who are the called? Is it you?

Romans 8:28 (KJV) – and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
