Psalm 23 is a Picture of Peace

Psalm 23

  for Monday's poetry collection

  1.  The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want.  

2.He maketh me lie down in green pastures for His name's sake.  He leadeth me beside still waters.

 3. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

  4.  Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death I will fear no evil; for thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff the comfort me.

   5.  Thou preparest a table before me in the presences of mine enemies; thou anoinest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.

   6.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

 The sections highlighted help me get through the not so good times. This Scripture always paints a picture of peace. It reminds me that it will be worth it all one day, helps a person have hope.  

  However, God is not the author of confusion, He is our helper so we must keep our focus on Him and picture those cool, still waters in our minds every day that we live.   

  Jesus through much more so that He could make a way.  As I have said many times before it is so easy to blame God for our problems and situations.  
   This passage is one that was written to help us remember that God will be there for us because He did create us in His own image.  We need to remember that the battle is already won, it is just those every day burdens that we need to give to the Lord.

Review Time!

I love getting products like these in exchange for an honest review!!! I just got a new iphone6s and these cords work perfectly.  As you see, I received three lightning cables in the mail to charge my iPhone 6s. I am going to leave one in my car and one near my wall charger. I am going to give the other cable to my mom as she has an iPhone 6 Plus.  These cables are great and worth the money because there are not just one but three cords included in the package. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U0Q0IP6

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8.

Motivational Monday

Eclesiastes 7: 13-16 Hope you have had a Wonderful Thanksgiving!! 13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. 15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. 16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ? There is alot of wisdom in this particular passage. God warns us not to be mighty in our own eyes because this is vanity. in verse 13, it says , " Who can make that straight?" Have you given that much thought in considering something new? A new goal or new plan? Did you ever ask God what He thought? After all, He knows the outcome. I take time to pray every mor...
