I have been really stressed this past week (or two, or three). It seems to be one thing after another happening in my life. There always seems to be some sort of obstacle to overcome, or some sort of bad news come my way. I know the majority of this is the devil trying to knock me down. He wants me to question the Lord & he wants me to think God isn't there for me. I think the more I try to walk with God & try to do what I think He wants me to do, the more the devil tries to mess with me.
This is why I think it is very important to spend time with God each & every day. Make the effort to talk with Him, pray to Him, praise & worship Him on a daily basis. Do not always ask God for things or help with things, but also remember to thank Him for all his many blessings.
I seem to of gotten off track with my daily walk with God. I have been focusing more on the bad things that have been going on, worrying about them, and forgetting to thank the Lord for what I do have. So, the following is a list of 10 things I want to thank the Lord for:
Thank you Lord for:
1. loving me - unconditionally
2. your guidance
3. my husband
4. my family & friends
5. the roof over my head
6. the clothes on my back
7. the food I have to eat
8. my health
9. providing us with whatever we have needed - when we needed it
10. your son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for my sins, so that I may know you & have everlasting life
In closing today, please meditate with me on the following verses:
1 Chronicles 16:8-12 (Amplified Bible)
8. O give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known His doings among the peoples!
9. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; meditate on and talk of all His wondrous works and devoutly praise them!
10. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!
11. Seek the Lord and His strength; yearn for and seek His face and to be in His presence continually!
12. [Earnestly] remember the marvelous deeds which He has done, His miracles, and the judgments He uttered [as in Egypt],
Verse 11 reminds me of something Joyce Meyer said on one of her programs....We need to learn to seek the Lord's face & not His hands (and what He can do for us)
About Me
- Chrissy Kemp
- The most important thing about me is that I am a Christian. I love the Lord & trust in Him. It is not always easy; but I will never give up!
I married my best friend, G.W., on October 7, 2006. Our life together has been really tough at times; but it is OUR life & I treasure every moment of it. He is an amazing husband & I thank God every day for bringing him into my life.
We are one of the few couples I know that do not have children. I am one of many woman that suffers from infertility; and have been told I will probably never bear children of my own. Although that journey has been heart wrenching; I believe God wants us to be parents. Very soon we will be starting the adoption process; and I am so excited about this!
