"Hope is determined and doesn’t give up. God wants us to be locked up in
hope, trusting that He can change what needs to be changed, that we
can do what He wants us to do, and that all things are possible with
God. If we will be steadfast in our hope, we can’t lose – we have to be
winners in life."
-Joyce Meyer
We have hope because of Jesus!
Declare today:
MY FUTURE IS FULL OF HOPE!

Happy Thanksgiving for all my American friends and readers!
And for the rest of us it's still a good day to be thankful!
Think about what God has done in your life and say THANK YOU! 😊
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
-Psalm 100:4

Gratitude is something God commands...The Bible talks a lot about praise...
Give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
-1 Thessalonians 5:18
So God tells us to be thankful in all circumstances which means always-yet we often take for granted the beauty of this world.
But a simple discipline of gratitude is rather a simple shift in mindset which leads to a significant change in our hear, soul and spirit.
THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR!
SO What about making it a habit? An attitude?
The great thing to do is to keep a gratitude journal. Just before going to bed write down 3 things- big or small- you are grateful for.
And right now...what's the thing you are grateful for in this moment?
"Thankful people focus less on what they lack and more on the privileges they have."

I listened to this song first time this morning- actually I listened to many times.
The words are very powerful....just love it!
"...Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You've never failed me yet..."
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You've never failed me yet..."
"Do It Again"
Walking around this walls
I thought by now they'd fall
But You have never failed me yet
Waiting for change to come
Knowing the battle's won
For You have never failed me yet
Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You've never failed me yet
I know the night won't last
Your Word will come to pass
My heart will sing Your praise again

And I believe, I'll see You do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I'll see You do it again
I'll see You do it again
Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You never failed

Today I have been listening to this song-don't know how many times!
The lyrics are just great...because yes there is no other name like Jesus!
No matter what we can trust in Him and our lives are found in Him!
"He reigns
With healing in His wings
The King above all kings
The greatest One of all..."
With healing in His wings
The King above all kings
The greatest One of all..."
"No Other Name"
One name
Holds weight above them all
His fame
Outlasts the earth He formed
His praise
Resounds beyond the stars
And echoes in our hearts
The greatest One of all
His face
Shines brighter than the sun
His grace
As boundless as His love
He reigns
With healing in His wings
The King above all kings
The greatest One of all
Lift up our eyes, see the King has come
Light of the world reaching out for us
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God
Seated on high, the undefeated One
Mountains bow down as we lift Him up
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God
Find hope
When all the world seems lost
Behold
The triumph of the cross
His power
Has trampled death and grave
Our life found in His name
The greatest name of all
Lift up our eyes, see the King has come
Light of the world reaching out for us
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God
Seated on high, the undefeated One
Mountains bow down as we lift Him up
There is no other name

The earth will shake
And tremble before Him

Today is International Day of the Bible.
The prosperity of our souls depends on our spiritual food choices. As it is important for our bodies to eat in a healthy way it is also important how we feed our souls.
We have to pay attention to what we think or what we put in our minds by way of our eyes, our ears,
and the things that come out of our mouths, because these things have the potential to
nourish or deplete us spiritually.
So...we must be sure we are constantly feeding our spirits the right things,
which only come from God’s Word.
My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
turn your ear to my words.
-Proverbs 4:20
Eat the Word every day! Your spirit will thank you for it! ☺

A beautiful, new song from Kari Jobe!
Listen to it!
"The Cause of Christ"
The only thing I want in life, is to be known for
loving Christ, to build His church to love His bride and make His name
known far and wide
For this cause I live for this cause I'd die
I surrender all for the Cause of Christ
All I once held dear I will leave behind
For my joy is this, oh the Cause of Christ
I surrender all for the Cause of Christ
All I once held dear I will leave behind
For my joy is this, oh the Cause of Christ
He is all my soul will prize, regardless of the joy or trial
When agonizing questions rise,
In Jesus all my hope abides
When agonizing questions rise,
In Jesus all my hope abides
For this cause I live for this cause I'd die
I surrender all for the Cause of Christ
All I once held dear I will leave behind
For my joy is this, oh the Cause of Christ
I surrender all for the Cause of Christ
All I once held dear I will leave behind
For my joy is this, oh the Cause of Christ
Jesus my Jesus, for Your glory, for Your name
Jesus my Jesus, I will only sing Your praise x3
Jesus my Jesus, I will only sing Your praise x3
For this cause I live for this cause I'd die
I surrender all for the Cause of Christ
All I once held dear I will leave behind
For my joy is this, oh the Cause of Christ
I surrender all for the Cause of Christ
All I once held dear I will leave behind
For my joy is this, oh the Cause of Christ
For my Joy is this, oh the Cause of Christ
It
is not fame that I desire, nor stature in my brothers eye.. I pray it's
said about my life, that I live more to build Your name than mine..
-Kari Jobe
These days Facebook is full of comments about the US elections even from people who are not living in the USA... People on both sides feel frustrated, even embarrassed by it all...But a great reminder for everyone is that even if we may feel disturbed at this event God is still in control! He will still be in charge!
“The LORD can control a king’s mind as he controls a river; he can direct it as he pleases” .
-Proverbs 21:1 NCV
"Ultimately it is God who rules and those in power are responsible to him – whether they acknowledge it or not. So let that be a great truth that either comforts or challenges."
