Nothing can uproot you when you are grounded in Christ

and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of joy instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61:3

May we remember as children of the Most High God, we are royalty—queens and kings. As today’s message, “Crown of Beauty” says, “God is so capable of taking something horible and creating something beautiful…. Ask God to establish you like a strong tree so when distress comes upon you, you will not crumble. He will help you makes sense of the madness and reestablish you once again. Give him your broken heart and let him give you a crown of beauty in exchange.“ Do not waver when the enemy tries to distract you with situations. Give it to God and stand firm with grace, remembering you are rooted and grounded in Him, who covers and takes care of you. He has you and every situation that comes to break you.

Reflection from Habit of Gratitude

Today’s message from “Habit of Gratitude” says, “David teaches us that thanksgiving requires intentionality. There are enough reasons to give thanks to God daily. But that doesn’t mean we always feel grateful or notice these blessings. Don’t let your feelings and experience call the shots. Lead your feelings by reminding your heart of reasons to be thankful.” In everything we must give thanks, for God responds to thank you. May we be forever grateful and give Him praise, for praise confuses the enemy. We may be down some days, but we won’t be down always because the Father has and always bring us out of situations and makes things better.

James 5:13

Prayer and praise are the wonder twins for any situation.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈

Nothing can uproot you when you are grounded in Christ, my friend.
