“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord”
(Romans 12:11).
Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart,
for God has already approved what you do.
Above, a few verses from a few Daily Bread devotionals I missed on the weekend
because we were away for a bit!
Great verses to contemplate as we begin a new week!
May your week be as sweet as a Krispy Kreme donut!
(One of our stops)
It's easy to be filled with delight while savoring donuts,
but life/love isn't always as soft and sweet as a fresh donut, is it?!
If it was we would become fat and foolish,
sluggish and selfish!
James 1:2-4 BSB
Consider it pure joy, my brothers,
when you encounter trials of many kinds,
so that you may be mature and complete,
not lacking anything.
To overcome despair
Is to replenish love's delight
Through faithful, thankful prayer
Is to fix our eyes
On He whose hope elates
Whose grace made possible the prize
That faith anticipates
Is to count our joys
Rather than our woes
Is to seize what each morn deploys
And dusk draws to a close
Is to choose what is right
And forgive fellowman
And in each flight from morn to night
To do the best we can
Because God gave His best
Because He loves us so
To dwell on this renews the zest/quest
No care can overthrow
Because when we believe
We walk by faith, not sight
And as we trust we will receive
Love's replenished delight
Janet Martin
Jer.17:7
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.
who has not turned to the proud,
nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
