Do You Really Trust Me?

"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength."


by Corrie ten Boom


25 “So my counsel is: Don’t worry about things—food, drink, 
and clothes. For you already have life and a body—and they are 
far more important than what to eat and wear. 
26 Look at the birds! They don’t worry about what 
to eat—they don’t need to sow or 
reap or store up food—for your heavenly Father feeds them. 
And you are far more valuable to him than they are. 27 Will all 
your worries add a single moment to your life?
28 “And why worry about your clothes? Look at the 
field lilies! They don’t worry about theirs. 29 Yet 
King Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as beautifully 
as they. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers 
that are here today and gone tomorrow, won’t he more 
surely care for you, O men of little faith?
31-32 “So don’t worry at all about having enough food and 
 clothing. Why be like the heathen? For they take pride in all 
 these things and are deeply concerned about them. But your 
 heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need 
them, 33 and he will give them to you if you give him first 
place in your life and live as he wants you to.
34 “So don’t be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of 
your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time. (Matthew 6:25-34 TLB)

One of the most widely used word today is “worry”! Spoken words such as: “I'm worried we will not have enough money to pay the bills”! Why didn't you call, I was worried”! "The doctor found a spot on my lungs, and wants to do more test. Don't worry though" And then we – “worry”! Or; "My wedding ring just fell down the drain"! All of these examples, have happened to many of us. Constant focus on a thing or problem, magnifies it! We can focus on a good thing or a bad thing, either way, you get an unwanted outcome, or an answered prayer! 
                                                                     
                                                                                                                        Miles a day old! 2015







This is how our outer appearance can fool the public
because I was waiting, in 2015 for my 4th grandchild,
which is my daughter's 2nd child, to be born.
She was having a cesarean; whereas, it was taking too 
long for me. I quickly remembered to pray! Thank God
I did, because she had lost quite a lot of blood; but God 
sustained her enough to eliminate a blood transfusion!
Amen!
Those who choose to worry, do not realize, it carries with them everywhere they go! Notice the emotions that show on someones face in the grocery store, standing in line at a ball game, or walking through the mall. Although some are busy doing something, their mind is fixed on that problem that they feel is worth worrying about.

Approach someone in that state of mind, gently, and watch their reaction! They will either jump, because they were startled out of that worry hypnosis, or they will ignore you because they are deeply hypnotized with “worry”; they block all things out of sight and sound! 

Why do we worry? Is it because we feel we are in control, or can somehow worry enough, the issue at hand will miraculously fix itself? I'm not sure either, but I do know that when we worry, we are telling God, we do not trust Him to do what it is, He said He would do; which is:

Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. (I Peter 5:7 TLB)

Now how do we let God have all our worries? By daily prayer and fellowship with Him; which is reading the Bible! God has an answer to every concern you will ever face in life, in the Bible! Now change that worry to Trust, that transfers to “Peace”!

Appetizer # 7

# 7 Objectives (n) - something your working towards Increase! ---Hmmm! Increase in what? I'm not sure what you mean by increase! Increase in finances maybe ~ or increase in knowledge ~ or perhaps you mean increase in healthy friendships!  All of these are attainable; however, they are not accomplished without work on our part to obtain them ~ and keep them. Maybe you want to increase your household! Uh Oh! (Big Smile) ~ VUALA ~ here's your baby! Wow that would be wonderful if it worked out that way, but we know better huh?  How many of you have really sat down with a goal in mind and established a step by step plan to reach that goal? I have never done that, I have always flown by the seat of my pants and they would always work out! NOW? It's not that easy. I have had to think things through more, pray about them and believe they will happen!  What I mean by that is, I became independent of Christ (sure of my own works), instead of dependent (leaning totally ...

Appetizer # 6 - Dreams

Appetizer #6 Dreams - Images in the mind For years, I would have the same dream of entering a beautiful mansion and I could remember being awestruck of how beautiful it was. I would marvel at the quality of its craftsmanship.  I would slowly walk down the beautiful marble staircase into the basement.  Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, there was this black door that had a little window on it. Imagine going into a dungeon and the only way anyone could see out was through this peep hole and vice versa.  When I went to open the door, an evil spirit would come near me and I would wake up immediately! As I mentioned this dream went on for years, until I realized that it was the devil. As soon as I confronted him that he will no longer allow me to live in fear of God's blessings and that he had no power over me either, the dream stopped immediately. I know that my ways are not God's ways and my thoughts are not God's thoughts, but to live a life filled with God's ...

In Dark Times, RUN to Jesus!

If you view God through how and what your earthly parents instilled in you, whether it was right or wrong; no wonder so many do not come to God ~ without one plea!   Let me explain! If your Father or Mother were mean, controlling, did not keep a promise they made, promiscuous or did not show their love towards you; whereas, instead of seeking Jesus, you WILL seek the opposite of who Jesus is! Especially when we are hurt, depressed, or feeling unloved! Once again, God is not harsh, hard or sharp and slow to anger! “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but ...
