FRIDAY FOCUS WITH TRUST!

Worry is the problem!  (Philippians 4:6)

What's the two-fold answer?
1)    Go to God through His Word!

2)    PRAY!

TRUST---HAVE IT---THRUST IT!*

*ODK had a birthday thrust of joy as all the patrons of Haywood 209 Cafe sang "Happy Birthday" to him and the stage sent him off with a slice of coconut cake "on the house" to honor his 19th!

THRUST OF TRUST REMINDER!

THRUST OF TRUST has me leaning in to the Lord for needed strength.

PRAISE GOD who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

(2 Samuel 22:33, emphasis mine)

This card in the morning mail did just that for me. 

Think trust (hope in; wait on).

May I use the Lord's strength today for His glory and the good of others as the joy of the Lord is my strength! (Nehemiah 8:10)

TRUST BEGETS JOY!

Trust and joy seem to go hand and hand!

Trust begets Joy! 

Enough said----say it loudly!

Worthy of a shout!

PRAYER BRIDGE!

PRAYER IS THE BRIDGE BETWEEN PANIC AND PEACE! (MUFHH, marginalia)

I found that bridge recently at Juney Whank Falls in Deep Creek!

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow."

PRAYER BRIDGE, A peaceful place. A place to pray. 

A place of refuge.

Waterfalls above and rushing water below!

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you. (Isaiah 26:3) 

An unusual place to find rest and peace but it was there!

Peace was there and rest came....because God was there!

Let us exalt the LORD on bended knee---at a "bridge that removes panic and restores peace!"

MAGNIFY THE LORD!

"Oh magnify the LORD with me and let us exalt His name together." (Psalm 34:3)

How does one magnify the LORD? 

It helps NOT to magnify one's problems. 

Think less grumpiness and more gratitude. Think trust!

We can pour out our complaints before Him as David did in Psalm 142:2 knowing that we can leave the outcomes, good and bad, at His feet for HIs glory and our good. 

Thank you LORD for dealing bountifully with us. (v.7) 

Turn to God's Word daily to magnify the Lord!

TRUST = MY ONE WORD 2026!

My One Word  has been a yearly focus for me since friend Angie G. gave Lisa D., Margie H., and me the book in 2017!

The same word---a daily focus as well as a yearly one! 

Verses may vary but the word won't!

A daily THRUST!

That's it...........

A Thrust of TRUST!

It (love).......always trusts,....(1 Corinthians 13:7)
