Praise To Complaints..

I praise You for the great things.
I whine to You about the other things.
I see You provide my needs,
yet I fuss to get my wants.
You are always faithful,
Yet I still doubt you.
You rescue me,
But I still fear.
You love me,
But I feel unloved.
You made me,
But I dislike me.
O Lord, forgive me.

The Israelites were just rescued from Egypt. They saw the sea part. But the minute they were thirsty, they started whining and doubting God. For 40 years, we see this pattern in them. They see God do something big, but still doubt and sin. How foolish they were and how foolish we are at times.

May you and I remember what God has done and will do. May you and I open are eyes to see God today.

My Life, I Choose...
*to memorize a verse.
*as I brush out my tangles, ask God to forgive me for doubting Him.
*as I brush my teeth, praise Him for all he has done.
*as I put on eye make up/contacts, open my eyes to see Him and what He is doing.
*as I get dressed, put on the armor of God

Choose to make a bad day good

Even if it feels the world, friends, family are out to get you, God knows how to make great things happen.

You intended to harm me, but God intendedit for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.: Genesis 50:20

O how I am beaten,
O how my body aches.
My heart was crushed.
It cannot withstand those who trample on it.
But , when I become weary,
My God becomes great!
What you tried to crush,
My God builds up!
Let me be weary no more,
let my God God be my my strength,
My Redeemer, my Savior.
And what you intended for harm,
My God intended for victory!

My Life, I Choose...
*to memorize the verse above.
*as I brush out my tangles, ask God to forgive me for giving up.
*as I brush my teeth, claim the victory i have in him.
*as I put on eye make up/contacts, open my eyes to see how he wants to use this bad for good.
*as I get dressed, put on the armor of God
