Living Above Our Circumstances - With Our Lord!

Until reading today's devotional, I had never thought of "living above my circumstances" - in a spiritual way rather than how it is often thought of in parts of our world! Instead, I have thought of it as spending more money and buying more "stuff" than I can afford (That's what my parents said!) - on credit cards.

Life on this earth is often filled with trouble and distress. What a blessing to know that we can live above these troubles - and be filled with joy and peace since God has overcome the world. One of my daily "breath prayers" is "Abide in me and me in Thee" in order that God fill me with His Love, His Joy and Peace.

I still remember my friend who kept talking about wanting some kind of joy in her life. She is a wonderful Christian lady who just hadn't realized that is possible - by spending more time with our Lord. What about you? Can you feel God's Joy and Peace in your life?

I have enjoyed listening today to "I Need Thee Every Hour." This beautiful hymn reminds me that I must spend time with God - not just occasionally, but every hour.
