Either Way
Bible Reading Today: Job 1-5
Job 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
We enter & leave this life with no possessions. It's what happens in between that makes all the difference! The Lord gives. The Lord takes away...but blessed be His Name, and everything we receive is a blessing as well! Even the things we lose bless us in the beauty of letting go. The new year cannot be only about acquirement, but requirement...what am I required to give? What am I holding onto that may be causing other blessings to be held off? Even if we have no earthly possession to our name, in the Name of The Lord Jesus, we can have Spiritual possessions which we CAN take with us! Peace. Joy. Contentment. The comfort of the Holy Ghost. Salvation. Job ALMOST lost everything, but he did not lose hope in God! Either way, no matter what comes our way, we can find joy in our process when we prioritize Jesus!

Surviving the Peace Plummet
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Peacefulness is the toughest muscle there is, and exercising it only makes it stronger. However, it proves to be the most difficult to keep toned & honed consistently in our lives. Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...
A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
