Good evening everyone, sorry I am getting this out so late tonight. The Word of the day is Joy. What does Joy mean to you ? Today is High Five Friday at least for another 45 minutes in the Central time zone. I hope you all had a chance to not only give yourself a High Five and share one, if you did not consider doing it on Saturday.
The Battle of Emotion. What does that mean to you ?
”Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.“
Isaiah 41:10 NLT
”“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.“
John 14:27 NLT
”Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them.“
Psalms 10:17 NLT
”The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.“
Psalms 34:18 NLT
Wow, this is definitely speaking loudly . So Blessed to be part of this journey . I am just now getting home from work and did not get a chance to do this morning. Well without a question I needed to do see the scriptures and do the writing this morning. Prayer, can and will carry us through our day without a question. This message is speaking very clearly that yes there will be emotions and they need to be not only acknowledged but dealt with and not ignored, hidden, covered. Wanted to share something I read today with you all: It’s Devotional we should act out of not Emotional. We should process every feeling but not every feeling deserves a reaction. The Lord remains near to us and the Broken Hearted and we can find refuge in him. We can find comfort in Gods truth at all times and his unfailing, unconditional Love for us . We can take great comfort in knowing that all of worries and cares can be cast to him. He wants us to surrender our burdens to him and lean on him in faith.
When hopelessness seems to take over, we can cast our cares on the Lord because He will never let us fall (Psalm 55:22)
No emotion regardless of how powerful can stand the sheer , strength and Love of God. No emotion is too strong to surrender it to God.
Hope you all have had a blessed Friday . Love you all. Love yourself and each other.
Dear God, thank you for the reassurance You give us in Scripture of Your love for us. I know You are always stronger than any problem I face. Help me surrender my emotional battles to You. Thank you for the comfort You provide when I need it most. Amen.
