The More You Sow, the More You Grow

How blessed is the person,
    who does not take the advice of the wicked,
who does not stand on the path with sinners,
    and who does not sit in the seat of mockers.
But he delights in the Lord’s instruction,
    and meditates in his instruction day and night.

Psalm 1:1-2

Those who flourish in God's Word will gain a great benefit for they will perceive that there is a point to life. 

Look from the vantage point of flowers. When they receive water they are given the ability to grow. This occurs similarly to humans grasping contact with the Lord's guidance. They will prosper and grow spiritually in the engulfment of love and not hatred. 

Finding the Proper Residence

Find residence in prayer.

"Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart."

Luke 18:1

Jesus told His disciples this parable to encourage them. If we are perpetually speaking to the Almighty we will not see our problems, but be more sensitive in perceiving the Lord's will.

In such an ocean of ruckus you will find consistently peaceful waters when you have faith in Jesus, for there is calmness in prayer. 

We need to focus on following the Lord's will, which we can find when we speak to the Father.

"And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine"

There’s always hope from discouragement. 

Focus your vision onto attainable goals, this is the answer on how we handle our failures. 

"In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. 

From His temple he heard my voice; my cry came before Him into His ears."

Psalm 18:6

Cry out to God, tell Him your feelings and He will listen. Then put on the blinders and keep going as Christians; open your eyes and see Jesus before you. Approach troubles with a determined spirit and remember don’t be disheartened, for it only brings you down. 

Set your mind and heart towards God, and be grateful just to be alive. 

Work hard in the power from God.

A Light to My Path

Baking with my sister.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Psalms 119:105

If I did not have a lamp during my situation I would of fallen because I would not have seen the path.

Perseverance and Patience

I want my trial to be over sooner rather than later so that I can finally find my real Mr. Darcy (I hope he has a mustache).

 

"...glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulations produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.'' (Hope that's a mustache Mr. Darcy).

Romans 5:3-4
