Refreshed!
Woke to my dog, "Sir Winston" circling the bed needing to go outside...BUT at 4:00am? As I arose to the occasion, stumbling down the stairs to opening the front door letting both dogs out...I noticed how unusually warm it was outside. Oh Lord, it is only 4:00am, what does that mean for the rest of the day? I still do not like the hot, sticky days of Texas weather but that is life and I have to deal with it.
I have made it to Wednesday and the interview is at 10:00-as I pray for favor with this interview, I have this new sense of hope come alive within me when I think of the possibilities. This could be good and long overdue if I say so the job opportunity that is... The commute will be a pain but I think about getting the job first. Actually, just getting back into the workforce is a longing desire that is needed for my own sanity.
I had this thought or to state correctly a question? What refreshes you? For me I love to get that first word from my devotional. I love what Joel Osteen had to say this morning and thought I would share it. It seems so fitting with the interview coming up this morning! I feel so REFRESHED now to press on! Have a wonderful day! I will let you know the outcome!
"…Lift up now your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;"(Genesis 13:14, AMP)
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
God has a place of victory in store for you today! You may be facing challenges. You may look around you and see impossible circumstances. In the natural, it may look like things won’t ever change, but God is saying today, “Quit looking at your circumstances and look up! Lift up your eyes of faith and look beyond where you are because there is victory as far as the eye can see!Your enemies may have some power today, but remember, our God is All Powerful! There’s no foe that can stand against Him. Those things you are facing are temporary, but God Almighty is eternal. He’s the God who flung the stars into space. He’s the God who spoke the world into existence. When He said, “Let there be light,” light came at 186,000 miles per second. That’s power and that’s the God we serve.
I encourage you to stand strong today. Keep believing because He is working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you lift your eyes to Him, as you focus on His goodness, He will guide you and direct you in the path of victory in every area of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAYHeavenly Father, today I choose to lift up my eyes of faith toward You. Thank You for surrounding me with Your goodness and mercy. Thank You for believing in me and for preparing a good future for me. Fill my heart with Your peace and confidence as I continue to trust You in every area of my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
