It is another warm day after so much cold weather. I will go exercise again! We have a new pastor at our church and tomorrow is a day to look forward to.
I am watching the news and praying that our leaders are doing the right thing to help our economy and to save and create jobs. All the more reason to trust completely in God in these MOST uncertain times. Keep yourself pure and be ready to meet Jesus at any second and your days will be blessed.

Things to do
It is warmer this February morning. I will go to Curves to exercise. I feel so good when I go and know that I am making my bones strong and making my body healthier. I go 3 or 4 times a week and I also have a treadmill at home. I know that the older I get, the more important exercise becomes. I try not to eat any sugar so when ever once in a while, I eat something sweet, it isn't like I have eaten it every day. But once I taste it, I don't want to stop! I am better off never taking the first bite!

Protection
"The Lord is my light and my salvation; He protects me from danger - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
Psalms 27:1-2
If we believe this, then nothing can defeat us. The problem is, all the worldly advice and negative news and negative talk that goes on in this world can get us so out of focus. We need to read God's word daily and think about it throughout the day. Just think what we could accomplish if we weren't afraid of "what people think of us" or afraid of failing. God wants us to prosper and have a healthy, full life.

Authority
Jesus said to His disciples: "If you only have faith in God - this is the absolute truth - you can say to this Mount of Olives, 'Rise up and fall into the Mediterranean,' and your command will be obeyed. All that's required is that you really believe and have no doubt! Listen to me! You can pray anything and if you believe, you have it; it's yours! But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive you your sins, too."
Mark 11:22-25
Here again Jesus speaks of forgiveness as being so important. But when we ask forgiveness, we grow closer to Jesus and have peace.

Ask God For Help
"Ask anything using My name, and I will do it!" John 14:14
It seems as if we can get anything we want! But sometimes the things we want aren't good for us. God is continually protecting us. If we pray in His name and ask things that line up with His promises and things that He wants us to have, He will answer those prayers. God wants us to be prosperous. But sometimes being prosperous doesn't have anything to do with money. Some people who have lots of money are miserable! I believe that God will give extra monetary blessings to those who will share with others.

Prosper
God does not give us prosperity..but He gives us the Power to prosperity .
Deuteronomy 8:18
"Always remember that it is the Lord your God who gives you power to become rich, and He does it to fullfill His promise to your ancestors."
Some characteristics of the Power to Prosper are: Forgiveness
"Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,just as God has forgiven you because you belong to Christ." -- Ephesians 4:32
I know this to be true. I have had to forgive people in my lifetime that at first I didn't want to forgive. But God helped me truly forgive them. If I don't forgive, I know that it can make me physically ill and make my heart hard.

Start Again
This morning our pastor's main point was the fact that we can have a fresh start in life. He said that nobody can 'start over', but everybody can 'start again'. The promises of our Lord are new every morning. We just need to remember this and go forward with our lives. Sometimes we let the past control us and everything we try to do. Just because something we tried failed last year or even 10 years ago doesn't mean it will fail this year! Begin again and put your faith and trust in God and do it His way.
