Discovering Simple Happiness

Shelter in place? How boring that’s going to be
No concerts, dining out, etc., just sitting around watching tv
But something happened surprisingly
I discovered being happy with doing everyday simple things

Simple things, like trying a new cake recipe
After all, due to closure, can’t get favorite cake from bakery
Time has allowed new household abilities
Cleaning, gardening and fixing things
The Bible says the joy of the Lord is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10)
And the Lord will show you how to get joy in the simplest things
He will give you joy even when you’re doing nothing

Because it’s not what you do, it’s your attitude
It can be one of feeling something missing or one of gratitude
Be still for a minute or a few
Meditate on the number of ways you’ve been blessed
And thank God for discovering simple happiness.

Scripture reference: Nehemiah 8:10

God Ain’t Out Of Resources

So what now? I’ve tried everything

All avenues closed, all doors shut

But God ain’t out of resources yet

Here He comes up with things I never tried

God, where did you get that? I want to imply

Depression had set in deep

The future looked so bleak

I’m so tired, my body so weak

As I continue to defy defeat

but it’s amazing

just as I’m about to quit

God says here, try this

And again I realize Who He is, and What He has

And I get rejuvenated to try again

The end isn’t here I must not forget

Because God ain’t out of resources yet.

Scripture
 Psalm 104:24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches

 

Let Us Not Be Weary In Well Doing

The work of the Lord will bear fruit

It may not be immediately visible to see

But keep on working

For we shall reap if we faint not

So let us not be weary in well doing

 

After all, does God get tired of running the earth?

Does He get tired of waking up the sun?

Or letting the rain fall

He keeps the earth in tact in all

Does He get tired of hearing our prayers

Does He stop giving us blessings

No matter how weary, keep going

If He doesn’t stop, neither should we

Keep doing God’s outreach

It’s not for you, but for others to see.

Scripture a Reference:

Galatians 6:9

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
