Have you ever heard the expression,
"Tickled Pink"? That describes a great state of joy! It's when that feeling of, "nothing could make me happier", comes over you!
It's when you find the $150.00 outfit for $25.00...it's when you find $90.00 shoes for $12.65...it's when your kids grow up and you realize they really Got what you poured into them!
It's when you surprise your spouse with a gift that just knocks their socks off...it's when you get a raise and it's not even evaluation time!
Our Heavenly Father loves us so much! And there is a verse that tells us what makes Him "Tickled Pink"!
I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. (3 John 1:4 NASB)
He absolutely loves when we walk in His truths! He gave us His word, the Bible, to help us! His word is powerful and it has the answers to every life situation we face! His word helps us overcome the enemy and to be victorious!!
I love this verse in Jeremiah...
Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts. (Jeremiah 15:16 NASB)
We have been called! We have been equipped! We have been given more than enough to overcome anything! In the darkest situations, we have His word to bring us joy and delight to our souls!
And just another cool thing that God did today...
My awesome nurse gave me a pink camouflage bandaid today. Camouflage is defined as, "The act, means, or result of obscuring things to deceive an enemy".
God protects us from the enemy! And guess what...there is a scripture to tell us!!
But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one. (2 Thessalonians 3:3 NASB)
And finally...
In this journey that I am on God's word is what I am standing on! God is faithful!
Psalm 63:7 (NASB) For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
Thank you for your prayers, your faith, and love!!
