How To Replenish Love's Delight...

“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.

Ecclesiastes 9:7

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, 

3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

 4Allow perseverance to finish its work, 

so that you may be mature and complete, 

not lacking anything.

We walk by faith, not sight

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

Jer.17:7

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,

 whose confidence is in him.

Psalm 40:4
Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, 

who has not turned to the proud, 

nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
