Tranquility

-

The Lord bless you, and keep you [protect you, sustain you, and guard you];  The Lord make His face shine upon you [with favor], And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness];  The Lord lift up His countenance (face) upon you [with divine approval], And give you peace [a tranquil heart and life].’
NUMBERS 6:24‭-‬26 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/num.6.24-26.AMP

Tranquil means:

adj. Free from commotion or disturbance.

adj. Free from anxiety, tension, or restlessness; composed: synonym: calm.

adj. Steady; even.


My life is far from actual tranquility but God has taught me and continues to teach me to act as though it is tranquil. I tend to think of it as though it's all about how we act in the midst of the storm. Am I really laying my burdens down at Jesus' feet? Am I really giving my stress to God? Am I really forgiving what needs to be and living with a loving heart? 

God tells us not to worry and to give Him our burdens. Only then can we live with a tranquil heart and bear other fruit

Much love and may peace be with you all...

Happy Sunday y'all! Here's today's scripture: Jesus Christ is [eternally changeless, always] the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13:8 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/heb.13.8.AMP NIV translation Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/heb.13.8.NIV MSG translation Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all. For Jesus doesn’t change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he’s always totally himself. Hebrews 13:7‭-‬8 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/heb.13.7-8.MSG Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same—yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/heb.13.8.TPT It's so great to me, very comforting, to know that God really is always the same! You don't have to worry abo...

No, Not Today!

Hey y'all!  Here's another Teaching Tuesday Thread!!! The most recent season of my Jesus Journey has been really focused on doing things for God.   Simple everyday things.  Examples include house cleaning, home maintenance, and mowing the yard. I love a clean home but after having kids, I haven't been able to keep it clean like I'd like, not to mention how my husband would like.  I used to push myself when cleaning in every effort to make my husband happy.  It never worked though.  Then one day I listened to Joyce Meyer about how we find joy in God, not other people.  This sparked a new attitude in my\self in that I'd clean for God, not my husband.  Let me tell you this has helped me wash dishes with a whole new mindset.  Since God is always with us, we have a never ending dialogue with Him.  I can't stand doing the dishes but then I started to focus on God while doing the dishes and praying for others.  Then I started ha...

  Hey y’all! I hope everyone is doing well and feeling great! This post covers the Ecclesiastes of the month which is chapter 11.   I will be sharing three different translations of this chapter; the Ampllified, Contemporary English Version, and New Living Translation.     ECCLESIASTES 11 AMPLIFIED VERSION (AMP) Cast Your Bread on the Waters 1 Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, [be diligently active, make thoughtful decisions], for you will  I.e. be richly rewarded. find it after many days.  2 Give a portion to seven, or even [divide it] to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth.  3 If the clouds are full [of rain], they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it lies.  4 He who watches the wind [waiting for all conditions to be perfect] will not sow [seed], and he who looks at the clouds will not reap [a harves...
