Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do
not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will
show you which path to take. Don't be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead,
fear the LORD and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body
and strength for your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8
What a promise! He will show you where to
go—which path to take. If we love God and obey His commandments, showing His
love by loving one another…then others will know we are Christian—as written in
John 13:34-35. Jesus said…So now I am
giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you
should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that
you are my disciples.
How do we show our love? By respecting
others, by giving up our own selfish attitude—thus self-sacrificing our time,
talents or possessions to serve others. In serving others we are taking on
Christ’s attitude.
Therefore if there is any encouragement in
Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the
Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the
same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard
one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your
own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this
attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus…. Philippians 2:1-5
NASB.
So then, since Christ suffered physical
pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude He had, and be ready to
suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished
with sin. You won't spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but
you will be anxious to do the will of God. 1 Peter 4:1-2

Seek His will in
all that you do. What is the will of God? Not
everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Only those who actually do the will
of my Father in heaven will enter. Matthew 7:21. Jesus said to a crowd that
followed Him to Capernaum. For I have
come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will.
And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those He
has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my
Father's will that all who see His Son and believe in Him should have
eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day. John 6:38-40. Seek
God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength. Seek to know His Son,
Jesus. Then… Trust in the LORD with all your heart….
Ten years ago we sat and waited for our
first grandchild…a grandson…to be born. Trusting God for a safe delivery and a
healthy baby. God was gracious and faithful…and it has been a wonderful ten
years of joy, laughter, learning and fun sharing in the life of that beloved
child. The Cartwheel Kiddo. Thank You, God.
Prayer
~ Lord God…I trust You. I acknowledge that You, Jesus, are the Son of God—and You
are my Savior…my Messiah. Direct my path…my thoughts…and my actions that
everything I do and say may bring You glory. Bless, guide, direct and fill with
Your love the heart, soul and mind of those I love. May they honor You.
Happy
Birthday, Zander.
May
God continue to bless and guide you.
Love You Much.
