Deuteronomy 7: 8 but because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. source
I said I’d like to have something to put on the screen for tomorrow and he said: “Today is the tomorrow you thought about yesterday and because He lives you can face yesterday’s tomorrow today.”
Perhaps you are not smiling as wide as I am but I hope at least there is an upturn to your day today. :)
Oh let’s do one more!
Now we are ready for yesterday’s tomorrow today!

I begin not knowing the end; I am appreciating the beginning though.
Beth Moore.
Praying God’s Word.
Page 124. She said Peace is the fruit of authority. God’s authority.
Read it.
And now I’m here.
Peace is the fruit of authority. God’s authority.
Fruit – like a product of something. Like in Galatians the Fruit of the Spirit. (see Galatians 5:22-23)
Peace is the fruit of authority. God’s authority.
So when my soul, my very being is at peace that must mean I am acknowledging and obeying the authority of GOD over me. Like, I am not kicking against His ways and will. Right?
So like when my soul is not at peace? When I am all out of sorts, agitated, ticked off, and about to hurt somebody with my words? Am I at that moment resisting the authority of GOD over me and thus peace has died on the branch?
Happens, doesn’t it? And then there is this:
Awash! – full to the point of flowing over –
From time to time I read Sean of the South. Today was one of those times.
Here’s a link to his January 4, 2017 post. It’s entitled: Ladies and Girls.
As I read his post Scripture came to mind.
If you read his post and if you think like me you probably know where I am going with this and if not, may I share? :)
Actually, you really do need to read his post. Here’s a link. Go read it and meet me back here. Please. Click.
Okay. Got all that? Yeah. Me too. So let me add my two cents. :)
MONEY!
Nothing creates a money-making environment like dissatisfaction. Similar to Sean‘s description, every Ad we see tells us we are in serious need of this or that – but Wait! THIS product will fix that! Sound familiar? Yeah. To me too. Ever bought into that? Yeah. Me too.
By and large advertisers main aim is to convince us that we are incomplete, unfulfilled, lacking, not enough, deprived and entitled – for a price that is – to their product.
It is estimated in 2017 U.S. advertisers will spend 209.69 Billion dollars to convince us we are not enough and do not have enough.
209.69 BILLION DOLLARS! source
And just think, if they SPEND that much to get us to spend our money on their products — just how much are we buying?!
Will the product even work? And for how long?
Now for the good news!
There is a Fix for all our ailments, our inadequacies, our not enough(s) and even our too much(es). No. Really there is!
Now put your money away! Your money won’t buy this Fix and I have yet to see an infomercial featuring this everlasting Fix. Yes. I did say everlasting. Interested?
This everlasting Fix actually is a Person, not a product.
How many of you know that?
How many of you have made His acquaintance?
How many of you are beyond just acquainted with Him?
My understanding is it is His desire to make all humanity whole and satisfied. And it’s a gift!
Yes. Really!
I mean what could be more satisfying, more for making content a soul than that? How about this?
And this?
So here’s the bottom line.
The product maker/product handler wants our money.
The King of the Universe wants our trust.
Which one do you think will really make us whole and satisfied for the longest time?
Salt and Light,
Kathie
