Blessed To Believe

Don't just believe in God. Believe Him and His promises. ~ Blessed To Believe Quotes

We are blessed if we believe in God and His promises. Many people believe in God, but that's as far as it goes. Of course, it takes studying the Bible to know what God promises us. Some people aren't willing to do that. But those who do are blessed to believe.

Our Bible verse says. You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what He said.” Luke 1:45

We are blessed when we believe what the Lord has promised in His word. It makes all the difference in how we live our lives.

Don't just believe in God. Believe Him and His promises.

Make It A Habit

Make it a habit to look for the good in everything. ~Look For The Good Quotes ~

If we make it a habit to look for the good in all situations, we will have a happier life. This takes practice, especially when a situation is tough, but I know from personal experience it's possible.

After dealing with Todd's death, many life situations that have been anything but good, now this situation with my husband, I can see so many good things that God has done and is doing. But when things happen that you don't like, you have to decide to look for the good.

Our Bible verse says. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. Romans 8:28 NLT

God will cause everything we go through to work out for our good. He will fulfill His purpose in the good and bad things that happen. Look for the good!

Make it a habit to look for the good in everything.

We Don't Know

We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know Who holds tomorrow. ~ We Don't Know Quotes ~

We have had quite a week. Last Saturday, we drove 3 hours to an outside birthday party. We had a fun time, and then I looked down and realized my 20+-year-old cross on my chain was missing. We looked all over, but we never found it. I felt pretty sad. We drove another 3 hours home.

Sunday morning, everything seemed perfectly normal. We usually do our yardwork on Sunday afternoon. I was downstairs when I heard Bill calling my name. I thought he was outside, but he was upstairs.

I ran upstairs, and Bill told me I needed to take him to the emergency room. He was admitted to the hospital. He's home now and doing well. But think how awful this emergency would have been if it had happened the day before.

Our Bible verse says. Don't brag about tomorrow because you don't know what the day will bring. Proverbs 27:1

This verse is a warning. We sure don't know what tomorrow will bring.

We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know Who holds tomorrow.

I am so thankful to be an American on our 250th year of freedom! I think we take too much for granted and often forget that God has given us life, freedom, unity, and opportunity.

Our Bible verse says. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. Psalm 33:12

We are truly blessed as a nation to have our God as the LORD!

The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time.
