1 Cor 10:31 (6 Mar 2022)
"These have always blessed me"


By 1 Cor 10:31

 

And I’m hoping they may indeed bless “Thee” as well!!

 

On the top one I cannot wait to meet who “anonymous” was!!!  I find it interesting that he or she didn’t want to take credit for writing an AMAZING piece.  One which has been like a PSALM to me, to read often & tuck away in my heart!!

 

Keep about your work

 

Keep about your work that God has given you. Do not flinch because the lion roars; do not stop to stone the devil’s dogs; do not fool away your time chasing the devil’s rabbits. Do your work. Let liars lie, let corporations resolve, let the devil do his worst, but see in it that nothing hinders you form fulfilling the work that God has given you.

 

He has not commanded you to get rich. He has never bidden you defend your character. He has not set you at work to contradict falsehood about yourself which satan and his servants may start to peddle. If you do those things, you will do nothing else; you will be at work for yourself and not for the Lord.

 

Keep at your work. Let your aim be as steady as a star. You may be assaulted, wronged, insulted, slandered, wounded and rejected; you may be abused by foes, forsaken by friends, and despised and rejected of men. But see to it with steadfast determination, with unfaltering zeal, that you pursue the great purpose of your life and object of your being until at last you can say, “I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.”  Author unknown

 

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.”  2 Tim 4:7-8

 

“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?  Blessed is that servant whom His master, when he comes, will find so doing.”  Matt. 24:45-46   //END

 

 

This one came from FB long ago  {I’m not on FB, someone sent it to me…}

I can choose to let it define me, confine me, refine me, outshine me, or I can choose to move on and leave it BEHIND ME.   //END

 

Actually—if we’re aiming to come out on top as Job did – we should probably aim to let trials REFINE US….. where we come forth AS FINE GOLD!!!!!   Amen!!

 

 

AND…..

 

 

When your “give a hoot” has sputtered out, and you just can’t seem to care,  when all you hear is a constant rush of depressing news everywhere.

Your BP is high, you can’t sleep at nights and all you can do is sigh – or cry…..

 

It’s time to listen to some UPLIFTING praise to the Lord music!!!   This is the best OF THE BEST in my opinion.  And one night when I really was having trouble falling asleep – my heart was practically racing, thub-blub-thub-blub….. and I simply had too much on my mind….. I finally remembered to turn my phone to rejoice.org to enjoy their streaming music.  A choice of 4 different styles, at night when I’m needing sleep, I go with the INSTRUMENTAL choice.  Sooooo soothing and refreshing!! 

 

Funny how truly within a minute or two, my breathing slowed down, I was able to take deep breaths in, drawing in some needed oxygen and relaxation – next thing you know I’m falling asleep to the most God-edifying music in the world!!!!   Thank you Rejoice !!!

 

 

 

Remember Friends:  the devil cannot (and will not) stay in the same room where worship music TO THE LORD is being played!!!!  Because he wants that worship for himself!!
