God is…has been and always will be all we ever need

Cease Striving

There comes a time where some of us have to take time to pause. Some of us are always the ones going the extra mile, lending the extra hand, working to accomplish one more thing, run that extra mile, and complete that last task. We are striving at all times to do what is right and what is best, but even then it is important to rest. Today’s message reads, “Often we forget that there is great power in quiet. In fact, our souls demand a zone of silence. Our God calls us to cease striving against all that would distract us from Him, to be still and learn to depend on Him to straighten out the tangles of our lives.” As we enter this holiday, let us remember the reason for the season and also take time to rest and reflect in peace, ceasing to do, and just be with Thee.

Psalm 46:10 reminds us, “Cease striving and know that I am God."

Let us actively trust in God’s sovereignty and stop trying to make things happen for ourselves.

Small Straws Scripture: Hebrews 13:5

Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said: I will never leave you nor forsake you.

May we be content with what He has and will bless us with, never focused on what others have because He always supplies our needs.

Youversion Verse of the Day: Luke 2:9-10

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

God’s presence is for all people; He is the good news and great joy for all past, present, and future.

God is…has been and always will be all we ever need, my friend.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈
