She Was Herself Again ~ Contented Spirit

Examining the Scriptures Daily

Psalms 131:2 

 I have calmed and quieted my soul... I am contented like a weaned child.

When our life takes an unexpected turn, the changes that we have to face may cause us apprehension and emotional stress. (Prov. 12:25) 

We may even find it hard to accept those changes. In such circumstances, how can we ‘calm and quiet’ our soul? (Ps. 131:1-3) 

 Despite adverse circumstances, we today can experience firsthand the soothing effect of “the peace of God” that guards our mental powers. (Phil. 4:6, 7) 

Thus, if we turn to Jehovah when we feel overwhelmed by anxiety, God’s peace can strengthen our determination to reach spiritual goals and guard us against any tendency to give up. In addition to calming us down, God’s spirit can draw our attention to key scriptures that will help us to keep our spiritual priorities.​—John 14:26, 27. 

Have a beautiful day.

Journey

What an Amazing journey that I have been on, for about a year now. As I have reflected on my past, the memories of my childhood to where I am today, I'm still amazed by it all. I know that I'm on my way to something so beautiful, peaceful and loving and the more I draw closer to Jehovah, the more clear that picture becomes. I have been truly blessed.

Leviticus 25:10 ASV — And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

John 8:36 ASV — If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Isaiah 61:1 ASV — The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Mark 1:22 ASV — And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

Have a beautiful day.
