HANDLING THE DAY
Philippians 4:13
"I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me"
Sometimes we wonder how in the world are we going to handle today. The Bible says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13. Some of us even wake up stressed, been there, done that one.... (no matter how long you have been a Christian, sometimes you still feel that you can't make it. So you cover up with your mask and act strong around others when you know you are falling apart).
We must know without God we can't do anything. We also make our problems harder than they seem because we put the emphasis on the actual problem than relying on the problem solver.....you feel me?
Once we recognize that God has our life in total control, our minds wont be so overwhelmed with daily stress.... because He is our strength, and that He has already taken care of the day...
Make sure you ask God to help you and to not be afraid to be firm and speak joy in your life on this day, and be real and ask Him to keep you calm so you can handle your day!!
Now enjoy your day In Jesus Name!

PSALMS 23 "TRUST GOD"
“We Must Trust God” We have the hardest time trusting in God. We say we trust Him, but do we really? In 23rd Psalms we will be able to see that God has everything in control of our lives and that to trust Him. It’s hard to trust something that yo don’t see….But Hebrews 11:1, “NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Explanation: Faith begins as hope and indeed is unseen; so many doubt that it is real. What follows is the proof that faith is a reality that can be trusted. (You may say, God will provide….just trust Him…and you say, “I just don’t see it so I have to do it my way, God doesn’t work fast enough for me, or I’ll just immediately get on the phone and do it myself, we are so quick to answer our own prayers ourselves”) We don’t even allow God to work it out for us….and then we MESS UP… GOD IS OUR CARING PROVIDER 1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. God is our a shepherd who provides and cares for His sheep. We have need of nothing because our Shepherd provides everything. 2He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. We can rest and relax knowing that God is taking care of us. With God leading us, we experience peace and provision. We need guidance to safe pastures, and we too need a Shepherd to guide us to safety and lead us to how God provides. GOD CARES FOR US SPIRITUALLY 3He restores my soul; he leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Our soul is comprised of our mind, will, and emotions. There’s not one person on the planet who hasn’t experienced some pain, disappointment or grief in their soul. But the good news is this: our Shepherd cares for us, and He is able to restore our souls. He restores and heals our minds and emotions, renewing and strengthening our very lives! When we submit to His will and His way, we can be sure that He’ll guide us along the path that is best for us. And for the sake of His name and His glory, He guides our wills to line up with His. GOD PROTECTS US 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. According to the Bible, sheep are easy targets for predators. Additionally, because sheep wander off and get lost, putting themselves in great danger. Shepherds often risked their own lives to rescue their sheep. They carried a rod and staff to protect and correct their sheep; they beat off any beast trying to attack, and they prodded sheep who were going the wrong way to steer them back to safety.It’s the same with us: “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way” (Isaiah 53:6). Sometimes we wander off and get into trouble, but we can trust that God cares for us and will protect and guide us if we’ll allow Him to. When we go through difficult times, we don’t need to be afraid because we know that our Shepherd is with us in the midst of it. We can take comfort that he protects and guides us with His rod and staff, walking with us in the darkest of valleys. Even when faced with death, we don’t need to be afraid. GOD BLESSES US 5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. God honors and blesses us right in front of our enemies! He shows off by abundantly blessing us before the very ones who want to see us fall! We don’t have to worry about what others say or think about us because we know that God has our backs and that serving Him is never for nothing. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. He will never fail us, and He’ll make sure that we WIN and come out on top. After all, “If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” (Romans 8:31). We can be sure that God’s goodness and mercy will follow us every single day when we allow Him to shepherd us. With God’s love and goodness overtaking us, we can dwell in His presence every day until we finally spend eternity with Him. “LORD HELP ME TO TRUST YOU”
