Do you feel swamped, overwhelmed?

♡~•~♡~•~πŸ©·πŸ„ΉπŸ„΄πŸ…‚πŸ…„πŸ…‚πŸ©·~•~♡~•~♡

Swamped/Overwhelmed?
Redeem Your Time

Go aside where it's quiet and pray. Be calm. Lord Jesus Himself is our peace. He is full of grace and truth.

Luke 8:22-25 NASB2020‬
[22] Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
[23] But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger.
[24] They came up to Jesus and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.
[25] And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” But they were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”

‭Ephesians 2:14 NASB2020‬
[14] For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

‭John 1:14 NASB2020‬
[14] And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

‭Mark 1:35 NASB2020‬
[35] And in the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and prayed there for a time.

‭Luke 6:12 NASB2020‬
[12] Now it was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer with God.

Sons of Mortals

 ♡~•~♡~•~πŸ©·πŸ„ΉπŸ„΄πŸ…‚πŸ…„πŸ…‚πŸ©·~•~♡~•~♡

Sons of Mortals

Psalms 90:3, 5-6, 9-10, 12, 14 BSB‬

³ You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”

⁵ You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning— 

⁶ in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

⁹ For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh. ¹⁰ The length of our days is seventy years— or eighty if we are strong— yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

¹² So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.

¹⁴ Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.


Ephesians 1:7-8 BSB

⁷ In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

Build On

 ♡~•~♡~•~πŸ©·πŸ„ΉπŸ„΄πŸ…‚πŸ…„πŸ…‚πŸ©·~•~♡~•~♡

Build on the Rock

Matthew 7:24 NKJV

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock

25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

♡🩷♡

1 Corinthians 3:11-17

11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ

12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 

13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 

14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward

15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 

17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.


Isaiah 54:11-12

11 “O you afflicted one,

Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,

Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,

And lay your foundations with sapphires.

12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,

Your gates of crystal,

And all your walls of precious stones.

Footnotes: (1599 Geneva Bible)

• "Matthew 7:24 - True godliness resteth only upon Christ, and therefore always remaineth invincible.

• 1 Corinthians 3:11 - Moreover, he showeth what this foundation is, to wit, Christ Jesus, from which they may not turn away one iota in the building up of this building.

• 1 Corinthians 3:12 - Thirdly, he showeth that they must take heed that the upper part of the building be answerable to the foundation, that is, that admonitions, exhortations, and whatsoever pertaineth to the edifying of the flock, be answerable to the doctrine of Christ, as well in matter as in form: which doctrine is compared to gold, silver, and precious stones: of which matter, Isaiah also and John in the Revelation build the heavenly city. And to these are opposite, wood, hay, stubble, that is to say, curious and vain questions or decrees: and besides to be short, all that kind of teaching which serveth to ostentation. For false doctrines, whereof he speaketh not here, are not said properly to be built upon this foundation, unless peradventure in show only.

• 1 Corinthians 3:13 - He testifieth, as indeed the truth is, that all are not good builders, no not some of them which stand upon this one and only foundation: but howsoever this work of evil builders, saith he, stand for a season, yet shall it not always deceive, because that the light of the truth appearing at length, as day shall dissolve this darkness, and show what it is. And as that stuff is tried by the fire, whether it be good or not, so will God in his time by the touch of his Spirit and word, try all buildings, and so shall it come to pass, that such as be found pure and sound, shall still continue so, to the praise of the workman; but they that are otherwise, shall be consumed, and vanish away, and so shall the workman be frustrated of the hope of his labor, which pleased himself in a thing of nought.

• 1 Corinthians 3:15 - He taketh not away hope of salvation from the unskillful and foolish builders, which hold fast the foundation, of which sort were those Rhetoricians rather than pastors of Corinth: but he addeth an exception, that they must notwithstanding suffer this trial of their work, and also abide the loss of their vain labors.

• 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Continuing still in the metaphor of a building, he teacheth us that this ambition is not only vain, but also sacrilegious: For he saith that the Church is as it were the Temple of God, which God hath as it were consecrated unto himself by his Spirit. Then turning himself to these ambitious men: he showeth that they profane the Temple of God, because those vain arts wherein they please themselves so much, are as he teacheth, so many pollutions of the holy doctrine of God, and the purity of the Church. Which wickedness shall not be suffered unpunished.

• 1 Corinthians 3:17 - Defileth it, and maketh it unclean, being holy: and surely they do defile it, by Paul’s judgment, which by fleshly eloquence defile the purity of the Gospel.

• Isaiah 54:11 - Hereby he declareth the excellent estate of the Church under Christ.

• Isaiah 54:12 Or, jasper, or pearl."

Abide In Satisfaction

Fear Of The Lord
Abide In Satisfaction

Proverbs 19:23 NKJV‬

²³ The fear of the Lord leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.

♡🩷♡

‭Proverbs 14:26-27 NKJV‬

²⁶ In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge. 

²⁷ The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.

‭I Timothy 4:8 NKJV‬

⁸ For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

Be Doers

 ♡~•~♡~•~πŸ©·πŸ„ΉπŸ„΄πŸ…‚πŸ…„πŸ…‚πŸ©·~•~♡~•~♡

Doers, Not Only Hearers

James 1:22-25 NKJV‬

²² But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 

²³ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 

²⁴ for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 

²⁵ But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in  it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

Take Up Your Cross

  ♡~•~♡~•~πŸ©·πŸ„ΉπŸ„΄πŸ…‚πŸ…„πŸ…‚πŸ©·~•~♡~•~♡

Give Yourself as a Living Sacrifice

John 13:12-17 NKJV‬

¹² So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?  

¹³ You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.  

¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.  

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.  

¹⁶ Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.  

¹⁷ If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them

This☝️ is another example of taking up our cross when we follow Jesus.πŸ‘‡

Matthew 16:24-26 NKJV‬

²⁴ Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.  

²⁵ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.  

²⁶ For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
