“It is Well With My Soul”

Well  (well-being) – the state of being healthy, happy or prosperous. Luke 17:19 “…your faith has made you well (healed you)” Soul – the spirit (inner man) in man that is believed to be separate from the boy and is the source of a person’s emotional, spiritual, and moral nature. Romans 7:22 – For in my inner being I delight in God’s law (I love God’s law with all my heart). Isaiah 40:29-31..the people who trust the Lord will become strong again. They will rise up as an eagle in the sky. We are told not to wait for God but to wait upon Him. Like a waiter in a restaurant, we’re to take an active part in pleasing Him.

We have to fill our hearts and minds with God's words. God's truth is the foundation of my identity. Proverbs 23:-25 tells us that overeating, overdrinking and oversleeping result in poverty both spiritually and materially. It is the one who seeks God early who finds Him (Prov 8:17). We are to do whatever it takes to get truth, instruction, knowledge, and wisdom. it takes work but if we pay the price an...

  Isaiah 45:3 (AMP) “I will give you (Cheryl) treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places that you may know (the Lord has the power to fulfill his plans) that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, Who calls  ( Relationship, intimacy) you (Cheryl) by your name.” The Lord is indeed God & knows the future                 Nothing tastes as good as peace feels!   Definition of Peace – soundness, completeness, security, welfare, harmony, safety, security. With the help of the Holy Spirit we can have overwhelming peace. “Shalom” – the root meaning is soundness, completeness and well-being.

Today's Decisions

The decisions we make today, make us tomorrow. Make daily decisions to think and be positive. "If you can dream it you can do it." Walt Disney "Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently." Henry Ford Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is not the key to success. If you love hat you do you will be successful. - Henry Schwitzer
