Say it! Do it! Buy it! Smoke it! Eat it! Drink it! Take it! Charge it! Spend it! This is what we do with our lives when we over indulge in what the world calls 'Being Happy"! Our hearts become callous and disengaged of excessive acts of "It's all about me"!
Matthew 6:31-34 AMPC
I was in captivity to many chemicals that swelled my face immediately upon exposure 2017
31 Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?
32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.
33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
34 So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
His way is much easier and peaceful to travel on! There is no comparison, but clearly distinct and less dutiful for us. Lean on, Trust in and Rely on Jesus, and He will do the rest! Once again your duty is to “Believe”!
Today is Good Friday! As Jesus walked this earth and His day was fast approaching for His Crucifixion! Scripture tells us He set His face to go to Jerusalem!
Luke 9:51-52 AMPC
51 Now when the time was almost come for Jesus to be received up [to heaven], He steadfastly and determinedly set His face to go to Jerusalem.
52 And He sent messengers before Him; and they reached and entered a Samaritan village to make [things] ready for Him;
He stayed the course with a strong determination and faithfulness all because of His Love He has for His children! Along His journey to Jerusalem, Jesus made a few stops. His demonstration of how and who He healed is phenomenal to read about, less known to observe. I know that to be in His presence, had to be impacting and in "Awe" of the power and belief in God to perform these acts of Love!
Luke 13:10-17 AMPC
10 Now Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.11 And there was a woman there who for eighteen years had had an infirmity caused by a spirit (a demon of sickness). She was bent completely forward and utterly unable to straighten herself up or to look upward.12 And when Jesus saw her, He called [her to Him] and said to her, Woman, you are released from your infirmity!13 Then He laid [His] hands on her, and instantly she was made straight, and she recognized and thanked and praised God.14 But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, There are six days on which work ought to be done; so come on those days and be cured, and not on the Sabbath day.15 But the Lord replied to him, saying, You playactors (hypocrites)! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead it out to water it?16 And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?17 Even as He said this, all His opponents were put to shame, and all the people were rejoicing over all the glorious things that were being done by Him.
As He walked on this earth casting out legions of demons, curing lepers, the women who was bent over for 18 years, as well as the woman with the issue of blood for 12 years, raising the dead, and much, much more, is not impossible, but we can't do it without the Gift of His power within us! He makes the deposit in us; and we receive it and go about blessing others with it!
This Easter and every Easter reflect on how Great Jesus suffered so we can have freedom from oppression and sin that leads to eternal death!
