A WALK ON THE BEACH


TAKE A WALK ALONG THE BEACH



Serenity is a blessing!  

There's joy along the journey of God's promises.  

Find a quiet place to feel the peace, happiness and joys of life.  

God speaks to us when we can get alone and hear His divine.  

Some time ago, I spoke with someone who was contemplating suicide.  

Through only what God could intervene and say, I hope my words were encouraging.  

Don't focus on negative voices, criticisms, offenses and badgering from people.  

Focus on God's promises and His plan for your life.  

Only His grace and mercy are sufficient.

Take a walk along the beach and hear His still voice of direction.  

Give yourself a personal lift...Dress up in a new outfit and
walk like you own the place.

Take a walk along the beach.

Know that God and 
He only can control the vastness of the oceans.

 When your oceans of life come rushing at you like a big wave, know that God IS in control. 

Don't take your life...take a walk along the beach.  

Nothing is too big or too hard for God.

LIFE IS BETTER THAN GOOD.


Take a Walk Along the Beach!
 (A Poem Written by Vanady A. Daniels)

Take a walk along the beach to think.
Think about your successes.
Think about your family.
Think about a childhood event.
Think about your learning experiences.
Think about things that you never want to do again.
Think about things that you wish you can do over and over again
Think about the beauty in your life.
Think about something funny.
Think about your challenges.
Think about how you overcome them.
Think about those people who pushed you into your purpose.
Think about how vast the ocean is wide; and you can drink it all.
Think about the problems that you turn over to God because he can.
Think about a time when you helped someone and felt good.
Think and take a deep breath to inhale the ocean breeze.
Think about a time when something made you laugh.
Think about a time when you felt courageous.
Think about you and your next steps in life.

MAGNIFY THE LORD ABOVE ALL CIRCUMSTANCES



MAGNIFY THE LORD ABOVE ALL CIRCUMSTANCES


Psalm 34:3 KJV
O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Psalm 34:3 NIV
Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.


There will ALWAYS be circumstances in our lives and people who cause them.  However, turn it around and let God bless you with favor when you exalt and magnify the name of The Lord.
When we pray, we are glorifying God the Father, and His Son Jesus, through our prayers and
acknowledging that the “higher” beings are bigger than any and everything imaginable.

It is easy as humans to be emotional (worried, fearful, upset, disappointed, etc.) when we encounter circumstances and/or people who are not favorable.  But, "magnify" The Lord in every situation to help you through.  

When things are going well, "Lord I magnify your name, because you gave favor to me in this matter - you blessed me."
When things are not going well, "Lord I magnify your name, and I'm going to watch you work it out for my good."

But take a moment to exhale, don’t give those forces any energy…”Magnify The Lord.”
How? Say it in the midst of the adversity:  “Lord, I magnify your name in this situation.”  
Every time the devil tries to lift his head and reign over your life, say it:  
"Lord, I magnify your name in this situation."

It’s like looking at The Lord through a magnifying glass - 
nobody or nothing is greater.”
Did you know that demons tremble at the name of Jesus? 
(James 2:19)

No matter what we are going through, 
The Lord is bigger than that.

"Lord I magnify your name because only YOU can make the sun rise and set."
