JOY = KNOWING GOD


JOY = KNOWING GOD
by Daneille Gray Snowden

Biblical joy is the knowledge that God is in control!

HE IS IN CONTROL! When we try to take over by our attitudes, actions and even apathy - we can relinquish His plans He desired personally.
I am seeing so many who are so angry, & so fearful right now, as this pandemic as well as the political lashings are spewed out.
Our words & actions reveal our hearts.
Hard things happen! Believe me: I know.
But we must trust God no matter what!
Our health may become compromised, & we don’t like what we think are ‘hidden-agendas’ regarding our government. HEAR ME:
REST IN YOUR GOD! Get your ‘soul-rest’ even now!
He said; “Come to me ALL who are weary....” -Not to spit and spat!
Ya know; if you are God’s Child (one who asked Him into your heart) - He’s got you!
Scripture says; “I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread.” (Ps 37:25)
If we are nestled under the Wings of the Almighty God; our souls will be settled down. We will then know How indeed powerful our God is.
Then we feel & know true peace and joy!
If Jesus can walk through betrayal, beatings, & horrible pain hanging on the cross; if He could withstand carrying all our sin and feeling the separation from His Father; and still have a heart of love for His enemies, for the sinner beside Him and even make sure His mother was cared for: we can too as we Rest In Peace now!
—Jesus could’ve ranted and been right about it.
BUT HE DIDN’T!
He loved! He walked through it and today we get to be blessed by His gift of salvation! Rest now in your heart, KNOW GOD = have His Joy!

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows:                       POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE  We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag.  FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER  (Rev. Paul Gray)  MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN.                       ...

BRINGING PEACE TO YOUR HUSBAND

   Two posts (blogs) ago I said I would continue to look at attaining true peace in our lives. [Sweet Tranquility] Then I promised you that I would continue to expound on having this peace spread through out our home beginning with ‘we’ ladies being the vessel of peace for our husbands.  As I have prayed over this, studied it in God’s Word and in other resources for quite awhile…my ending prognosis is that this study could continue for decades! Peace ; we pray for peace, it's our New Years Resolutions ...it is a salutation in most countries. Yet, everywhere we turn we only observe fruits of turmoil (opposite of peace).  In three thousand  three hundred and fifty years between 1500 B.C. and 1850 A.D. there were only 286 years spent without a war taking place on the globe somewhere. That's thirteen years of war for every year of peace. At that same period of time eight thousand peace treaties were broken.  Today;  2 million coup...

Living the Dream

I have probably one of the most 'spiritual' face book home pages around. My friends post scriptural banners, quotes, prayer requests & praises . I usually get a great up-lift reading my face book. Recently, it seemed many were writing about 'Dreams'. One really jumped out; basically they were challenging the thought (I believe fact) dreams are every day; what we are experiencing today, which is our family, friends, experiences,work, ministry and prayer times. I have always been a dreamer since I was a little girl. When I was little I loved the Walton's-needless to  say my dream then (get this now): was to be a writer, movie star, have 7 kids and live in a big house in the country. Uh huh...yup; unrealistic; but I sure loved the Walton's. Then, when I turned 12 yrs. old at church camp the Lord called me into the Mission Field. When I turned 14 yrs. old, the Lord gave me a heart for India; and was blessed with the opportunity of going there as well. ...
