Good
Morning!
We
have been talking about our "thoughts", and how to keep our minds
from being "cluttered".....because as I have pointed out, in
previous encouragements, if we have "clutter" (disorder) in any area
of our lives, we will eventually experience frustration and
"stress". All of you can relate to this, if you have ever
tried to find something that you were looking for and couldn't find it! This
applies to every area of our lives....not just our "garages, drawers and
closets", but also in our personal "relationships, prayers and needs"!
When things are not "in order", we will always be hindered in
reaching our ultimate goal. That is when we will lose our "peace and
joy"! These are the two gifts that Jesus chose to give us
when He left. That is because He knew how important, and powerful, it would
be for us to be "full" of peace and joy!
In
Matthew 6:31, Jesus told us to take no thought,
"saying"....what are we going to eat? What are we going to wear?
What are we going to do about this situation?
He
was not saying that it is wrong to make "plans"....He was just
saying that we should not "worry" about our future.....in other
words, we should never "doubt" God's ability to take care of us
(read the rest of the scripture).
If
you "take" a thought of doubt, fear or unbelief and continue to
think on it, it will eventually come out of your "mouth"....and
you will say it, either to yourself or to someone
else. Jesus said, in Mark 11:23, that we will have what we "say"!
God
has given us "simple" principles that can help us "find
what we are looking for"................to be
continued>>>>>>>>>>>
Have
a Blessed Day!!
(Keep it Simple) In His
Love, Luanne
