Hamm . my brother through my walk I have found life with our Heavenly Father is seasonal and some of us have longer seasons then others and some of us have shorter seasons then other ,but our Heavenly Father always bless us to endure whatever come our way and believe if it is his will for you to have that 250.000 you will get it my brother ,and if it is  not his will he will continue to give you the grace to get through these toils that we must face on this side (buying food, paying bills buying clothes and other things we have to do just to live in this world) ,that I'm a living  witness of,  for if you look at my page you will see pictures of a job we just finished that I did for about $3,000.00 less then the real price to get exposure  in the area and he blessed me with 4 jobs to date and 6 more that I got to give proposal too,and last year I did the same  thing and I got nothing so I know it is not about  us but all things is in his timing accordance to his will ,love you my brother and if He blessed me I KNOW FOR A FACT HE WILL BLESS YOU ACCORDING TO HIS WILL IN HIS TIMING

Bless you my Brother.  You and your story have put a simile on my face.  As the problems of life can beat down upon us.  Let it always be, that a Word from the Lord, will lift us up.  What just moments ago, looked and felt so big.  Let it be that we remember, His Words change not just how we look at things, but how things really are, compared to His Word.  

Again my Brother Thank You

Chris

The other week I was work and with an hour to spare I went to buy a coffee. When I got to the cafe I noticed the queue was quite big, so I went to the next door shop and took two chocolate barsfrom the shelve that had the signed said buy one get one free. While waiting to get served I noticed the lottery scratch cards. One seemed to stand out from all the others. £2, with three ways to possibly win £250.000. I started to drift off thinking about how nice having £250.000 would be, my life would be great, no debt, own my own home, provide my kids with a better start in life, a nice holiday, a new car, etc, etc. I then thought, why if this would make my life better, why hasn't God provided this or these things in my life. Then I thought mmmm maybe God wants to me to buy a ticket. So when I got the till I requested a ticket. The checkout lady quoted the price of the whole sale which was for two chocolate bars, she said the offer had changed, I didn't argue and paid the full price, thinking that the shop is a ripoff and should take down the misleading sign. But I am going to win on the card in anycase.

I then went over to the cafe as the queue had gone down, the attendent was very slow and was struggling with serving, when she eventually got to me and I placed my order she nust have been in a twiz as she had under charged me, she gave me two much change, so I told her, which then took another 5 minutes to sort out.

I walked back to work, struggled to get back into the building, sat at my desk and started to drink my coffee. I then thought I will do lottery scratch card and will recieve the cash reward of £250.000 that God wants me to have. I could find the card, as I looked out of my office window I saw some one on a cycle stop bend down pick something up , smiled and rode off.

I went out to see if I  could see my card my winning card back on the path I couldn't.

I sat back down in my office and though there I go again believing in nothing, believing in something thats not real, God is joke really. I then thought mmm this sounds like the devil speaking, (I don't usually think like this). My next thought was of the cyclist picking up the scratch card, my winning scratch card and he scratching off and winning my £250.000, and how would I be able to prove that it was my card. Then Jesus touched me, and I smiled. I got a great sense of peace. My thoughts turned to how the cyclist would tell the story to others how he has found a scratch card and won a life changing £250.000.

I smiled all day, I don't know if he did and will probably never know, but the thought was really good, maybe not as nice as actually winning, but as I never have and by the looks of it never will, the thought was really peacful and I thanl God for making me buy the card.

I got home that night to another bill, another missed payment, another bank charge, another letter telling me how much money is required, a need in this world and how people will harass you for it, how much I am economically retarded, but the thought of that other person winning £250.000 made me smile even more.

    I had meant to share this after I had read that verse, Isaiah 26:3-4  3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You!  4 Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock.  I would only want to add what you have shared below the verse.       That we mediate and ponder these Words.  We so often search for "peace of mind."  We will take almost any pill, read any book or follow the advice others may offer us.  Not that there is anything wrong with those things.  But, here we are told to Trust You and to "fix" our thoughts on You.  A few synonyms for fix are: conclude; settle; define.  So we are able to conclude, as we trust and keep our thoughts on You we will have Perfect Peace.  Perfect Peace is defined by, a person who trust God and keeps their thoughts on God.  As you trust and settle your thoughts on God, Perfect Peace is yours.  Now I know I took more than a few liberties, with the English language.  I have concluded, Perfect Peace is mine as i trust God,  define  and settle my thoughts on Him.  {I had to do that just one more time}:) ;) :)

Oh, what a Joy we have in the Lord!  His Praise fills the Temple of the Lord.  I am unable to contain the Joy, He has given to me.  I want to Praise the Lord.  As in "Mary Poppins" when they started to laugh, they began to float in the air.  Well, as I Praise Jesus, as I Dance with Joy, gravity is not able to hold me down.  I find myself leaving footprints on the ceiling!!!

GM FAMILY FOOD FOR THOUGHTS 

Today's Bible Verse:

Isaiah 26:3–4
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. (ESV)

Today's Inspiring Thought: Perfect Peace of Mind

Let's pick this verse apart and see what we find. The Lord God keeps (guards like a strong garrison) in perfect (complete, genuine) peace (inner tranquility) those who maintain their minds stayed (steadfastly steadied) on him.

No matter what we encounter from the outside, if we trust in the Lord, he will keep our inner being wrapped in complete peace. Trusting in the Lord is a forever, lifelong, yet moment-to-moment state of mind that brings a sense of security, stability, wholeness, well-being, and a rock-like faith in God's faithfulness.

Psalm 117: 1-2    "Praise ye the Lord, all ye nations. Praise Him, all ye people.  For His merciful kindness is great towards us. And the truth of the Lord endures forever.

Praise ye the Lord."

AMEN!!!!!!!!
