The Lord Takes Delight In You

 Be the Reason Other People Smile

For the Lord takes delight in his people; He crowns the humble with salvation. Psalm 149:4

When you have done your best and you’ve been told by critics that your best isn’t good enough, it’s easy to get down on yourself. More volunteers are discouraged by criticism than are retained by praise. Pointing out the chinks in a plan rather than looking for ways to shore it up accomplishes nothing. The Lord takes delight in all of us. What kind of world would it be if we delight in others? Take delight in the people around you. Be the reason they smile. Help them succeed.

Morning Has Broken

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Colossians 3:23

Every day is a new day. Persevere. That’s my word for 2012, adopted at the first of the year. God’s time and mine may not be the same, that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t keep going, stay on the road, and walk through every door God opens. On Jan. 1 and every day since, I have resolved to remain positive and work hard. God has a plan. My job is to make use of my gifts, learn and prepare, work at the work I have to do with all my heart, as working for the Lord, and be ready to go when called upon. Failures are self-inflected. Successes are God-driven. Stick with it. Hang in there. Trust God. He knows what he is doing.
