Thursday Scripture Thoughts

Galatians 6:7 - 10 (NIV)

7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Thursday Scripture Thoughts

Take the High Road

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.”(Exodus 14:14, AMP)

In life, we’re always going to have critics. We’ll always have difficult people who try to upset us and steal our peace and joy. But, you don’t have to respond to every critic. You can decide to take the high road and let God fight your battles for you. Sometimes, no matter what you say or do, there are people who aren’t going to accept you. They just don’t want to be at peace with you. In fact, when Jesus sent out His disciples to certain homes, He told them to always speak peace over those homes. And then He said in effect, “If they don’t receive the peace that you’re offering, then it will come back to you.” That tells me, if you will do your best to be at peace with people, even if they won’t take your peace, the good news is that peace will just come back to you. You’ll not only get your peace, but you’ll get their share as well! That’s double for your trouble! When you do the right thing no matter what is happening, God sees it and He rewards it.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, I choose to hold my peace. I choose to do the right thing even when the wrong thing is happening. I trust that You are fighting my battles for me. I give You all the honor and praise. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Crystal Light Way Water Challenge

Today Kelly posted about the Water Challenge Crystal Light is doing. I am not a huge fan of Crystal Light because it gives me headaches and makes my stomach feel queasy, so I have started drinking Sugar Free Kool-Aid and Sugar Free Hawaiian Punch singles. The singles still give me headaches every once in awhile, but nothing like Crystal Light. I have lost 5lbs so far in a few weeks and hopefully will continue to lose more. I also drink decaf coffee with a lot of creamer at work for something different. I don't really care for coffee, especially the after taste but the decaf is not as bitter and strong and I get some water from it. I was drinking about 3 canned sodas a day for caffeine after I started back to work from maternity leave. Ever since I had my baby I have not been able to drink much plain water. I used to drink it all the time, especially at work. I hope I will be able to start drinking plain water again since it is summer time. I usually drink more water during the summer.
