Psalm 46:10<\/a> – \u201cBe still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nReflection<\/h5>\n
Let’s keep it simple. God is good. He is the one true God who sent Jesus to redeem us. He loves us, he wants us to succeed and to be with him. God isn’t trying to confuse us or make us upset or indecisive. He wants us to be in peace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So tonight, just let it go. Tomorrow will be a new day. Tonight, rest in God’s grace knowing you are a loved, honored, and wanted child of God. That’s it. Simple, easy. Don’t try to overcomplicate it.<\/p>\n
Have a blessed evening.<\/p>\n
Challenge<\/h5>\n
No challenge today unless not worrying is a challenge. (Heck it is for me). Just be still and know that God will help you through the challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prayer<\/h5>\n\n\n
Father God, we often complicate your word, your world, and your direction. Help us to follow you and keep it simple. You give us simple commandments and simple words. We put ourselves into it and try to put our spin on it. Help us to just let it go, love you, and know it will be all ok according to your time, your will, and your way. We honor you and love you, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
